HPR3387: Infosec Podcasts Part 5 Grab bag
July 27, 2021 00:00 - 4.8 MBInoffensive in every region of the world. Thank you to everyone who has listened to my previous episodes. I hope I am not boring you all to death! Why am I recording this series? You can hear my reasoning for why I am making this series by listening to the introduction to any of the previous four episodes in this series.

HPR3386: What's for dinner?
July 26, 2021 00:00 - 11.3 MBOverview I live on my own, but I cook for members of my family from time to time. Each week we all get together and cook dinner for Wednesday and Thursday. I usually do the cooking but we are starting to share these duties for certain meals. In 2019 I thought it would be useful if I had some sort of random chooser to decide what next week’s meal was going to be. I wrote a Bash script called choose_meal, using a simple CSV file of meal names and the date last eaten to avoid choosing the sam...

HPR3384: Page Numbers in EPUB eBook Files
July 22, 2021 00:00 - 14.1 MBThis episode is a response to hpr3367 by Andrew Conway and Dave Morriss. One of the topics they brought up was the thorny issue of page numbers in e-books. Most of the time you don't need to worry about page numbers in ebooks, if you're reading fiction for example. The whole point of an ebook is that the texts can reflow to fit the page no matter what size the screen is or what font-size you've chosen. This is a major accessibility feature of all e-book formats. One reason you might want to ...

HPR3380: Building a Better Goodreads with ActivityPub
July 16, 2021 00:00 - 6.43 MBFederated social media can open up some wonderful possibilities to reimagine some of the social apps we already use and find ways to do them better. In this episode I want to highlight a talk that aimed at such a reimagining involving an app I already use, Goodreads. My main use of it is to manage my book library, but it also involves a social aspect where you can be friends with people and share book reviews, recommendations, and so on. So seeing how this can be done differently with Activi...

Other topics of discussion includes OpenAI (the company behind this framework), Elon Musk, Bitcoin, Microsoft and if the GPT can actually pass the Turing...
