My name is Moss Bliss. I'm a podcaster. This is technically my 2nd HPR podcast, but as the first one was unintentional AND back in 2019, I can start fresh.

I don't know much of anything. I'm a Linux user, about the same way most people are Windows users. I have gotten more technical over the past few years largely due to being a regular on various Linux podcasts. I don't have sufficient education to be hired in computers (although I've tried several times), and I did spend a few years in radio back in my youth.

So what do you have to know to become a podcaster? Almost nothing. Just so long as you have a computer, an Internet connection, and a microphone. (For some shows, you may need a webcam.)

I got into podcasting by asking questions. I tried for almost 2 years to get Chris Fisher at Jupiter Broadcasting to co-feature me, with zero experience, on a podcast about using Linux desktops. It never happened. So when in 2018 Rob Hawkins asked for new hosts to take over mintCast, I was one of the first 10 or so people to apply, and one of 6 who eventually stuck with it. All I had was a computer, an Internet connection, and a Blue Yeti microphone my little sister gave me. Within a few months, I started another podcast, Distrohoppers' Digest with Tony Hughes. And a couple years later, I was asked to take over Full Circle Weekly News. Apparently some people like my voice. Since starting my little mini-career in podcasting, I have probably more than doubled what I know about Linux. I'm not all that scared of the Terminal anymore...

Some microphones are pretty bad, and my Blue Yeti was the worst one on the show when I joined mintCast. In about a year, I found a very inexpensive CAD Audio U29 USB mic, currently $20 at Amazon, and that worked pretty well. Some time after taking on Full Circle Weekly News, the magazine bought me a Samson Q2U ($60), which I'm still using. I love this mic, as it can be used either as a USB mic or plugged into a sound box for even better audio.

When I started, I had a T430 laptop and the Blue Yeti microphone. My listeners and co-hosts have made my life better with new and used equipment I could never have afforded on my own, including laptops, Raspberry Pis, modems, routers, headphones, and even a sound box. My current setup includes a 2016 Lenovo ThinkCentre M600 Tiny, which cost me under $200 on eBay, a Focusrite Solo sound box (a gift from a friend), a WavLink ST336A external goodies box (also a gift), and an old Dynex 26" TV I use as a monitor I paid $15 for locally. I have a boom arm for my microphone, which is made by Neewer and costs $15 on Amazon. My keyboard is a Fellowes Microban Natural, which I need as a trained touch typist. And I put all this stuff on a little rolling computer desk, which I bought used locally for $25.

The only software I use is Audacity, and I didn't need to know any more than the basics. If you're part of a team, such as mintCast, you aren't even required to do any audio editing, although if you know your way around Audacity you will find your skills very welcome.

If you want to start podcasting, have the equipment, contact Ken (Note: I misspoke in the audio and said Ronnie where I meant Ken) and do something here at HPR, which is a fairly low entry bar, or you might contact long-running shows such as mintCast. Participation and commitment are usually all that is required.

OK, so maybe you want to do more than produce an HPR show or join mintCast. You have your own idea and you want to get it out there, your own personal podcast. This is where it gets a little more detailed. If you already have the information you need, you can stop the podcast here, but...

First, you'll need a website or blog (if you're really broke, there are free WordPress sites available at wordpress.com, or you could use the dreaded Google blogs (blogger and blogspot). Other than that, you'd have to register a domain name, find a webhost, and write a website, some of which can be cheap (or not!). Then you have to find a way to stream your podcast. Google has closed Feedburner, but there are some paid places like Red Circle you can get for not much bread. Those will probably help you stream your podcast to places like Apple Music, Archive.org, Spotify, etc. But if you want help from me, I'm already lost. mintCast is handled by Bill H., Distrohoppers' Digest is handled by Dale M., and my Full Circle Weekly News is uploaded to Ronnie for publication.

Or maybe you want to do it with a few friends, and they can't cram themselves into your bedroom to do that. In that case, you should explore using Discord, Jitsi, VDO.ninja, or (sizzle preserve us!) Zoom. Everyone will need to record their own part of the stream, and you'll need someone who knows Audacity well enough to edit a few (or several) streams together. Maybe you want to post it on YouTube. If you want both a video and audio podcast, someone will have to learn OBS and Audacity, and if you want the video podcast to be edited, have fun learning one of the many video editors out there (you might start with KDEnlive).

For more information on streaming, you'll need to get someone else to make an HPR podcast on the subject. Way over my head.

I hope this little show has pushed a few of you into wanting to try your hand. It doesn't take much, or it takes a whole lot, depending on what you want to do, and your future listeners will thank you. My listeners have certainly shown me lots of thanks.

Introduction

This is a follow up episode on Home Assistant (HA), see hpr4099 :: An introduction to Home Assistant (HA) for an explanation of what Home Assistant (HA) is, and why you might want to install it.

The Home Assistant Installation page offers several different install methods, listed along with the level of difficulty.

  • Easiest: Plug and play with Home Assistant Green
  • Easy: DIY with Raspberry Pi
  • Intermediate: Extend with Home Assistant Yellow
  • Hard: Install on other hardware
  • Expert: Advanced installation methods

Today we will be installing Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS), on a x86-64 machine.

Home Assistant can be repurposed and installed on various hardware, such as an Odroid or a generic x86-64 machine. The Home Assistant Operating System allows you to install Home Assistant on these devices even if you have little to no Linux experience.

We are going to my HP t610 Flexible Thin Client, which has a 16GB SATA Flash Drive, and I upgraded it to 16G of Ram.

Note that this will install Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS) as a computer appliance. That means that it will run a bare OS with the various components in a customised docker setup. It will take over the entire computer, and requires secure boot to be disabled.

On the HP t610 Flexible Thin Client, that involves pressing "Esc" at boot to get to the bootup menu. If that doesn't work try pressing "F10" just after turning on the power.

Two methods to install

HAOS has no integrated installer like you would expect with distro hopping, but it requires that the image be burned directly onto the disk of the computer itself.

It has two methods to do this and "Method 2: Installing HAOS directly from a boot medium", is basically take the disk out of the target system and attach it to your own computer. The use a burning tool like Balena Etcher, or dd to write the image to disk. Much as you would burn a sdcard for a raspberry pi. I don't have a way to do this so let's go with method 1.

Method 1: Installing HAOS via Ubuntu booting from a USB flash drive

Here you download and burn live operating system as you would if you were distro hopping, the document suggests to use Ubuntu. I tried it but my HP t610 Flexible Thin Client didn't like it. It also didn't like Fedora despite having worked earlier, so I just used Debian LXQT.

Now you have Debian running off a usb stick on your target machine.

Steps to burn Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS) to disk on target

Anything after the '#' character is a comment and doesn't need to be typed.

Note The following steps are optional, and you should only do them if you wish to ssh to the target machine from your pc.

# Anything after the '#' charachter is a comment and doesn't need to be typed.
apt install openssh-server  # Install the ssh server on the target
systemctl start ssh         # Start it once installed
passwd user                 # Change the password or you can just use the default which is `live`
ip add                      # Get the IP address of the target
ssh user@ip.of.the.computer # Replace ip.of.the.computer with the actual ip address in the step above

Open a terminal on the machine, and type the su - commands to get root access on the Debian OS running from the usb drive on the target machine.

user@debian:~$ su -
Password:
root@debian:~#

Now you are root, the super user admin, you can install the wget command using the Debian apt package manager.

root@debian:~# apt install wget

Once wget is installed, we can use it to download the latest image from the HAOS Download Page, which is haos_generic-x86-64-12.1.img.xz at time of writing.

root@debian:~# wget https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/12.1/haos_generic-x86-64-12.1.img.xz

Now we have the image we are going to write to the disk, but the question is which disk to write it to.

Your target PC will be different to mine but the tool lsblk is good for showing what is installed and mounted.

root@debian:~# lsblk
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
loop0    7:0    0  2.5G  1 loop /usr/lib/live/mount/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs
                                /run/live/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs
sda      8:0    0 14.9G  0 disk
├─sda1   8:1    0    1M  0 part
├─sda2   8:2    0    1G  0 part
└─sda3   8:3    0 13.9G  0 part
sdb      8:16   1 58.6G  0 disk
├─sdb1   8:17   1    3G  0 part /usr/lib/live/mount/medium
│                               /run/live/medium
└─sdb2   8:18   1    5M  0 part

The loop0 is the mount where Debian is running from, while the mounted sdb1 and sdb2 have the word live telling us that's the actual USB drive we installed Debian on to.

While your disk will be different, for me the disk to install it on is sda. The partitions sda1, sda2, and sda3 are left overs from a previous install. They will be overwritten anyway.

The drive I will be targeting is therefore known to the system as /dev/sda

The dd command will do a disk duplication and writes the ones and zeros from the if input file, to the of output file.

The command below will take a while and not display anything

root@debian:~# dd if=haos_generic-x86-64-12.1.img.xz of=/dev/sda
761949+1 records in
761949+1 records out
390118272 bytes (390 MB, 372 MiB) copied, 66.3225 s, 5.9 MB/s

Plug in an Ethernet cable that is connected to the network. Power the system on. If you have a screen connected to the Generic x86-64 system, after a minute or so the Home Assistant welcome banner will appear in the console. In the browser of your desktop system, within a few minutes you will be able to reach your new Home Assistant at homeassistant.local:8123.

All right. Well, good evening, hackers. My name is Clinton. And this is a very off the cuff episode for me just to announce that I've got a new microphone. So I just wanted to run through a couple of details of that. Make a show, say a little about the microphone while I got it. What I hope to do with it. So this is a roadie wireless go to setup. It comes with three little boxes. Roughly, roughly, you can fit each one of the little boxes inside a matchbox. So there are three of these that come with the set that I bought. Two of them are microphones that you clip onto your lapel. The third is a transceiver. So at the moment, I've got the transceiver on and I've got one of the microphones on. I bought this because I'm going to be going to a conference soon. And one of the things that I do try to do at conferences is to interviews with people. And this is kind of nice in that I can switch these two microphones on. Give one to myself. Give one to the person I'm interviewing. And I don't have to use a single microphone and shove it underneath their faces. And I don't have to swap the microphone between the two of us. The other feature, like the particular reason I've got this model is that each of the two microphone units actually has built in RAM. So it will actually record, like if you've got it set up in the mode, which I do, you can get each microphone to do a backup recording of your presentation. The regular mode for this set of microphones is to actually treat the transceiver as a source and plug it into computer or plug it into your camera as a external microphone. But it has this lovely mode, which I'm recording this particular episode to. We can just turn it on. It's not the transceiver is not plugged into a computer. It's not plugged into anything. And it'll record something like 40 hours of voice. And later on, I can hook it up to my computer as a standard mass storage device and just download the waveform I believe. So it does have some Windows firmware or Mac firmware. I didn't have too much fun getting that to work under Linux. I tried under a couple of different VM products and wasn't having any luck. So try it under wine. I tried under open box. Eventually I did end up installing like a full Windows 10 install onto a qemu image. And that had enough stuff working such that I could install the Rode firmware on it. That let me do an upgrade of the firmware on the two microphones and the transceiver because the first thing you do when you buy something these days is out of the box you have to upgrade the firmware because why would they do that at the factory before they send it out when they can just make the users do that. And there is a phone app but it does not let you update the firmware on these particular hardware models. If I remember the error message correctly it does look like the Android app lets you update the firmware on other Rode microphone devices but not this particular model. So I had to go down the track of setting up a qemu. I did find a good blog post on how to set up a Windows box on qemu. It had a few things that seem outdated so maybe it's a job for future me to write an updated blog post on how to do this. If for nothing else instructions on how to do this in future when I need to rerun the firmware update. The other thing that I really needed to use the software for though is to switch on the recording option. So out of the box these things do not record to the memory that's built into the microphones. So I had to get, I had to update the firmware and then I had to run the software on both of the microphones to switch on the recording option. But now that that switched on I can just hook it up as a USB master device as I've mentioned before and presumably I can just copy the files and delete the files and I won't actually have to run that software. So yeah there's a number of options going forward so I can write that blog post with the updated details. There were a number of hoops that I found that I did not have to go through of the blog post I found so things are getting easier over time. Depending on how in depth I want to go I could potentially one day sit down and install like a USB listening device and see if I can work out how to work out if there are any magic packets getting sent to do the configuration on the device. Do I need to break any crypto stuff or is it just a straight command like plug in the device and send a command with a few funky options. So maybe in the very distant future when I've got no other things on I could try and work out a pure USB non windows solution for setting some of these configuration options. I'm not sure I'd go down the track of updating the family I think that's probably a little bit too risky but you know maybe one day in the future. But yeah basically this set of microphones assuming that it works out okay assuming that it sounds good. I'll hopefully be using these for conferences coming up. Hopefully as well I'll be able to use it for camping and stuff like that so if I'm out and about I'll just be able to pull out these two things transceiver, microphone, a couple of clicks turn them on they talk to each other wirelessly and then start recording something. So it's much smaller than the current microphone that I'm using so it's much easier to travel with. There are two of them so that when I'm interviewing someone it's much easier and it's got recording memory so I don't actually have to plug them into a computer so all up it should be much easier to use. I think it might even give better recording outputs and hopefully like increase the number of talks and presentations that I give on HBO. So that's been Clinton this has been a very off the cuff recording I very much am used to sitting down and writing out a full script for these things so I'm doing this because it's cool new hardware but also because HPR needs more episodes. So yeah maybe other people can do an episode on what particular funky wireless or what particular microphones that they've got that they enjoy using and what the advantages are and disadvantages are. That's it for now. Ciao.

Welcome to the third episode of Cov's jams.

We'll start with a couple electronica pieces from Arkadii Kaplan: Corporate Success and Chasing the Shadow. I also featured Kaplan in the second episode of Cov's Jams, way back in 2016. I'm glad to be back.

Next up are two dubstep selections: Time to Army by Muciojad and Sweet Nothing by K4MMERER.

Daniel Bautista's Symphony Number 5 will close out the episode. Daniel Bautista wins at Free, Libre, and Open Source. Not only is he playing public domain Beethoven, but he recorded and mixed the album (in May and June of 2008) on a Gentoo Linux box. Gentoo is how I really learned Linux. He's still releasing libre licensed albums and his newer releases have video recordings which he edits in kdenlive.

How it works:
Temporarily resets your windows $PATH environment variable to fix any issues with existing python/java installation
Build a working Python environment in seconds using a tiny 16 meg nuget.org Python binary and portable PortableGit. Our solution doesn't require a package manager like Anaconda. I would like to make it even easier to use but I don't want to spend more time developing it if nobody is going to use it! Please let me know if you like it and open bugs/suggestions/feature request etc! You can contact me at https://rmccurdy.com !
