HPR4380: Isaac Asimov: The Rest of Asimov's Foundation Stories

2 days ago

—

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Isaac Asimov began with the Foundation series, but then added to it. Early on, he wrote what are called the Empire novels which are prequels to the rise of Trantor. Then he decided to tie his Robot series into his Foundation series. So now we will take a look at these remaining novels.

HPR4379: Mapping Municipalities' Digital Dependencies

3 days ago

—

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In this episode, I discuss my ongoing project aimed at mapping the dependencies municipalities have on major third-party digital services, particularly focusing on Microsoft and Google , given their dominance in the market. The aim of this research isn't about debating the quality of these products—it's assumed that with thousands of employees, these services meet most quality expectations. Instead, the focus is on the critical implications of widespread dependency and potential risks related to service interruptions or supply chain attacks. Why is this important? Supply Chain Attacks : High dependency means higher vulnerability to targeted disruptions. Business Continuity : Significant risks were illustrated by incidents such as the CrowdStrike outage in July 2024 , which forced Brussels Airport back to pencil-and-paper operations temporarily. My Research Approach: Primarily, I analyze the DNS MX records of municipalities: MX records typically reveal if mail services are hosted on Microsoft (Office 365/Exchange Online) or Google (Workspace). A high probability that using these providers for email also means municipalities likely depend on the respective cloud office suite (e.g., Word/Excel/SharePoint or Docs/Sheets/Drive). Preliminary Observations: Belgium, Finland, Netherlands : Over 70% of municipalities rely heavily on Microsoft mail services, a significant warning sign of dependency. Germany, Hungary : Fewer than 5% of municipalities use Microsoft or Google explicitly via MX records, though caution is necessary. Here’s why: Challenges Identified: Local MS Exchange Servers : Municipally hosted local installations aren't externally identifiable via MX records. Mail Proxies : Some municipalities use mail proxy services (spam/phishing filters) obscuring the actual mail service used behind proxy domains. Techniques Tested: SPF Records : Often reveal the underlying email service, though they may contain outdated information, lowering reliability. Telnet EHLO Commands : Municipalities commonly obscure their SMTP headers, limiting usefulness. Cloud Provider IP-Ranges : Investigating if mail servers run on Google, Amazon, or Azure infrastructure. Even if identified, this alone doesn't clarify if proprietary or replaceable services are used. TXT Records : Occasionally contain subscription keys or mail-related settings (e.g., MS subscriptions, Mailjet), but again, could be historical remnants. Unfortunately, none of these get to show me all of the third party services. Community Call: I'm reaching out to listeners and the broader community for ideas or techniques on reliably fingerprinting the actual digital service providers behind mail servers. Specifically: How to accurately determine if servers run Microsoft or Google services ? Any ideas to detect deployments of Nextcloud or similar open-source alternatives? Resources: Project Webpage : jurgen.gaeremyn.be/map.html Source Code : gitlab.com/jurgeng/mxcheck I'm looking forward to all your suggestions in the comments! Provide feedback on this episode .…

HPR4377: Password store and the pass command

5 days ago

—

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Standard UNIX password manager Password management is one of those computing problems you probably don't think about often, because modern computing usually has an obvious default solution built-in. A website prompts you for a password, and your browser auto-fills it in for you. Problem solved. However, not all browsers make it very easy to get to your passwords store, which makes it complex to migrate passwords to a new system without also migrating the rest of your user profile, or to share certain passwords between different users. There are several good open source options that offer alternatives to the obvious defaults, but as a user of Linux and UNIX, I love a minimal and stable solution when one is available. The pass command is a password manager that uses GPG encryption to keep your passwords safe, and it features several system integrations so you can use it seamlessly with your web browser of choice. Install pass The pass command is provided by the PasswordStore project. You can install it from your software repository or ports collection. For example, on Fedora: $ sudo dnf install pass On Debian and similar: $ sudo apt install pass Because the word pass is common, the name of the package may vary, depending on your distribution and operating system. For example, pass is available on Slackware and FreeBSD as password-store . The pass command is open source, so the source code is available at git.zx2c4.com/password-store . Create a GPG key First, you must have a GPG key to use for encryption. You can use a key you already have, or create a new one just for your password store. To create a GPG key, use the gpg command along with the --gen-key option (if you already have a key you want to use for your password store, you can skip this step): $ gpg --gen-key Answer the prompts to generate a key. When prompted to provide values for Real name , Email , and Comment , you must provide a response for each one, even though GPG allows you to leave them empty. In my experience, pass fails to initialize when one of those values is empty. For example, here are my responses for purposes of this article: Real name: Tux Emai l: tux@example. com Commen t: My first key This information is combined, in a different order, to create a unique GPG ID. You can see your GPG key ID at any time: $ gpg -- list -secret- keys | grep uid uid: Tux (My first key) tux@example. com Other than that, it's safe to accept the default and recommended options for each prompt. In the end, you have a GPG key to serve as the master key for your password store. You must keep this key safe. Back it up, keep a copy of your GPG keyring on a secure device. Should you lose this key, you lose access to your password store. Initialize a password store Next, you must initialize a password store on your system. When you do, you create a hidden directory where your passwords are stored, and you define which GPG key to use to encrypt passwords. To initialize a password store, use the pass init command along with your unique GPG key ID. Using my example key: $ pass init "Tux (My first key) " You can define more than one GPG key to use with your password store, should you intend to share passwords with another user or on another system using a different GPG key. Add and edit passwords To add a password to your password store, use the pass insert command followed by the URL (or any string) you want pass to keep. $ pass insert example .org Enter the password at the prompt, and then again to confirm. Most websites require more than just a password, and so pass can manage additional data, like username, email, and any other field. To add extra data to a password file, use pass edit followed by the URL or string you saved the password as: $ pass edit example .org The first line of a password file must be the password itself. After that first line, however, you can add any additional data you want, in the format of the field name followed by a colon and then the value. For example, to save tux as the value of the username field on a website: myFakePassword123 username: tux Some websites use an email address instead of a username: myFakePassword123 email : tux @ example . com A password file can contain any data you want, so you can also add important notes or one-time recovery codes, and anything else you might find useful: myFake;_;Password123 email: tux @example .com recovery email: tux @example .org recovery code: 03 a5 -1992 -ee12 -238 c note: This is your personal account, use company SSO at work List passwords To see all passwords in your password store: $ pass list Password Store ├── example .com ├── example .org You can also search your password store: $ pass find bandcamp Search Terms: bandcamp └── www .bandcamp .com Integrating your password store Your password store is perfectly usable from a terminal, but that's not the only way to use it. Using extensions, you can use pass as your web browser's password manager. There are several different applications that provide a bridge between pass and your browser. Most are listed in the CompatibleClients section of passwordstore.org . I use PassFF , which provides a Firefox extension . For browsers based on Chromium, you can use Browserpass with the Browserpass extension . In both cases, the browser extension requires a "host application", or a background bridge service to allow your browser to access the encrypted data in your password store. For PassFF, download the install script: $ wget https: // codeberg.org /PassFF/ passff-host /releases/ download /latest/i nstall_host_app.sh Review the script to confirm that it's just installing the host application, and then run it: $ bash ./install_host_app. sh firefox Python 3 executable located at /usr/bin/ python3 Pass executable located at /usr/bin/pass Installing Firefox host config Native messaging host for Firefox has been installed to /home/tux/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts. Install the browser extension, and then restart your browser. When you navigate to a URL with an file in your password store, a pass icon appears in the relevant fields. Click the icon to complete the form. Alternately, a pass icon appears in your browser's extension tray, providing a menu for direct interaction with many pass functions (such as copying data directly to your system clipboard, or auto-filling only a specific field, and so on.) Password management like UNIX The pass command is extensible, and there are some great add-ons for it. Here are some of my favourites: pass-otp : Add one-time password (OTP) functionality. pass-update : Add an easy workflow for updating passwords that you frequently change. pass-import : Import passwords from chrome, 1password, bitwarden, apple-keychain, gnome-keyring, keepass, lastpass, and many more (including pass itself, in the event you want to migrate a password store). The pass command and the password store system is a comfortably UNIX-like password management solution. It stores your passwords as text files in a format that doesn't even require you to have pass installed for access. As long as you have your GPG key, you can access and use the data in your password store. You own your data not only in the sense that it's local, but you have ownership of how you interact with it. You can sync your password stores between different machines using rsync or syncthing, or even backup the store to cloud storage. It's encrypted, and only you have the key.

HPR4368: Lessons learned moderating technical discussion panels

18 days ago

—

Lessons I've learned moderating 5+ tech panels: Preparation: Be familiar with the panelists and their subject matter. Avoid asking common questions. Set up the stage using a semicircle arrangement rather than formal tables to promote dialogue between panelists. Ensure that each panelist has their own microphone to prevent any accidental dominance in the discussion. Execution: Set a friendly and informal tone before the panel starts to help nervous panelists relax. Involve the audience by encouraging questions and conducting polls to increase engagement. Use a central microphone for audience questions to avoid delays and maintain a smooth flow. Listen carefully to questions and rephrase them if necessary to ensure clarity for the panelists. Know when to politely wrap up discussions to keep the conversation moving.…

HPR4366: My audio setup and editing

Hi all! Topics Topic 1: Hello, my name is Antoine. Topic 2: I listened to you! a) Comment from Archer72: "[...] Audio setups are *definitely* of interest to hackers :)" Link: https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4325/index.html#comment_4278 b) From hpr4351 :: HPR Community News for March 2025 (on the show) Something like: 'I'm not going to read your (long) comments, give a show on it'. Sorry for making you read my comments, dear HPR Janitors! (Specially you, good-voice Sgoti) Link: https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4351/index.html Topic 3: My audio setup (Also you can see written on a commentary of mine on the link on Topic 2 a). Topic 4: My audio editing (when I do) With examples. * On the sibilance ("sss") example, the adjustment settings for the to-be-better fragment was an agressive cut of -7.4 dB on frequency 5.8 kHz (for advanced curiosity: Q 4.73, threshold -36.3 dB, ratio 3.8:1). Did it only with some testing, and knowing that sibilance normally is at about 6 kHz (when it happens, because here the dynamic microphone ended up not capturing too much of it). Topic 5: I'm in a new working time If you can, do a word of prayer to God in favour of me. If anything I said "that is better" is, actually, worse, don't worry thinking you are perceiving it wrongly, it's just that I'm not a professional and can have made it wrong. Or it's only a matter of taste, it's fine also; the ideas are there, and I welcome your participation too. Thank you!

HPR4357: Short introduction by murph.

5 weeks ago

—

This is just an introduction, here is the rough text of the audio: Hello HPR: I'm murph, I've been an HPR listener for a long-time, into the TWAT days. I'll try to keep it quick. I started in computers in the early 80's with a VIC-20. After a few of the Commodore 8-bits, I settled into the Amiga line, which I daily drove up into this century, and stll have a few. In college in the 90's, I had a dilemma. I wanted to do C programming homework from home, but the expensive Amiga compiler wasn't compatible with the Sun workstations at school. Another student introduced me to Linux, and I promptly ordered a set of Slackware CDs and figured out how to install. I was looking for the compilers to complete my studies, but have stayed for the freedom, and the communities, like this one. I've used countless distros over the years, and use a few for different needs. I am still a Linux user, and system administrator. I've given a few talks on things like gnu/screen, mastodon, tmux ay conventions like Penguicon, SCaLE, HOPE and some more regional conferences. I was inspired by Lyle and Thaj Sera's HPR birds of a feather talk, and thought that it would make a good presentation, and asked them to let me base a talk off of it, which they encouraged. Part of that is how to submit a show, which resulted in me finally, after all this time, finally submitting one of my own, as opposed to the occassional show I've crassly barged into. If you want to reach me, the best ways would be by email or on the fediverse, @murph@hackers.town Thanks for listening.…

HPR4355: Record player audio - Streaming with Darkice

5 weeks ago

—

Intro Hello, this is your host, Archer72, for Hacker Public Radio. In this episode, this is my third show involving my record player. I am using a Zoom H1essential Stereo Handy Recorder microphone, recording into Audacity for this show. Why visit the record shop? Picking up a record at the record shop expands my music choices. I get a chance to talk to the owner on the weekend when searching for new music. He is an archaeologist and a teacher at a local college during the week, and is knowledgeable on all the music in the store. One Year With the Institute - Archive.org I wanted a way to listen to the records while on my laptop, preferably with headphones, as to not disturb the household. How is this accomplished? This is done using a combination of Darkice to capture the stream, and Icecast to stream it to the local network. What is Icecast? Icecast is a streaming media (audio/video) server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 streams. It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction. Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. The default config file is located in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/icecast.xml.dist.gz icecast.xml.dist if the default config gets mangled or corrupted by myself. Several other types of configs are also in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/ that include a bare bones config and the installed icecast2 config is located in /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml Configuration needed to be personalized <location>Cynthiana,KY</location> <admin>ricemark20.nospam@nospam.gmail.com</admin> Change the passwords from hackme to a more secure password <authentication>  <source-password>hackme</source-password>  <relay-password>hackme</relay-password>  <admin-user>admin</admin-user> <admin-password>hackme</admin-password> </authentication>  <hostname>192.168.x.x</hostname> mountPoint = live # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server name = DarkIce Vinyl Stream # name of the stream description = This is my Vinyl stream # description of the stream url = http://localhost # URL related to the stream genre = Podca…

HPR4348: Resizing the root partition on a PC

7 weeks ago

—

Background It all happened when I noticed that a disk space monitor sitting in the top right hand side on my Gnome desktop was red. On inspection I discovered that my root filesystem was 87% full. The root partition was only 37GB in size which meant there was less than 4GB of space left. When I thought back I remembered that my PC was running a bit slower than usual and that that the lack of space in the root partition could have been to blame. I had some tasks that I wanted to complete and thought I’d better do something about the lack of space before it became an even bigger problem. What happened As per usual all this happened when I was short of time and I was in a bit of a hurry. Lesson one don’t do this sort of thing when your in a bit of a hurry. Because I was in a hurry I didn’t spend time doing a complete backup. Lesson two do a backup. My plan was to get some space back by shrinking my home partition leaving some empty space to allow me to increase the size of my root partition. For speed and ease I decided to use Gparted as I have used this many times in the past. Wikipedia article about Gparted Official Gparted webpage It’s not a good idea to try and resize and or move a mounted filesystem so a bootable live version of Gparted would be a good idea. The reason for this is that if you run Gparted from your normal Linux OS and the OS decides to write something to the disk while Gparted is also trying to write or move things on the disk then as you could imagine very bad things could and probably would happen. I knew I had an old bootable live CDROM with Gparted on it as I had used this many times in the past though not for a few years. As I was short on time I thought this would be the quickest way to get the job done. I booted up the live CD and setup the various operations such as shrinking the home partitions, moving it to the right to leave space for the root partition then finally increasing the size of the almost full root partition. What I didn’t notice at the time is that there was a tiny explanation mark on at least one of the partitions. I probably missed this because I was in a hurry. Lesson three don’t rush things and be on the lookout for any error messages. When I clicked the green tick button to carry out the operations it briefly seemed to start and almost instantly stopped saying that there were errors and that the operation was unsuccessful and something about unsupported 64 bit filesystems. At this point I thought / hoped that nothing had actually happened. My guess was that the old live Gparted distribution I was using didn’t support Ext4 though I could be completely wrong on this. Lesson four don’t use old versions of Gparted particularly when performing operations on modern filesystems. Wikipedia article about the Ext4 filesystem I removed the Gparted bootable CD and rebooted my PC. At this point I got lots of errors scrolling up the screen I then got a message I’ve never see before from memory I think it said Journaling It then said something about pass 1 pass 2 pass 3 and continued all the way to 5. Then it talked about recovering data blocks. At this point I got very nervous. I had all sorts of fears going through my head. I imagined I may have lost all the contents of my hard-rive. The whole experience was very scary. I let it complete all operations an…

HPR4347: "Of my country!" Brazil - in a Southern city viewing

7 weeks ago

—

I’m glad I’m here with you! I'll tell my impressions on things of my Brazilian country. Pardon me for some high-volume transitions ! Trying and testing the brickabrackis ( possibilities ). Pleasing or not. Thanks! Topics: 1- Sistema Único de Saúde (the national health system) Works! Any citizen, any person, has access to health treatment: no payment, no check if the person has payed taxes on anything, if is a worker or not. Of course, waiting time might be a problem if it's not an urgency or emergency, and quality varies (as any service, paid or not), according to city (capital or country town, more structured or smaller cities), hospital, the specific doctor and support team etc. 2- Tap water The water from the tap is safe, recognized as drinking water (in my city, and maybe in many if not most). The water treatment company ("Sanepar") here even sells their water bottled, and sponsors events that distribute them (sports events) to show the quality. But people don't use to drink from the tap it directly. If they do not use a filter, it's common to buy water in 20 liters carboys (big plastic bottles, 20L is a bit more than 5 gallons) . I use this last option, but drink water under the shower also. Most people (that I know, of course) simply don't drink water ! I don't know. I don't understand how it is, but they don't drink water, not even a liter per day. Coffee and soda are the most common "substitutes". 3- Religion numbers Statistics about religion are very misleading. You can find different numbers but it's generally: more than half identifying as Catholics. More than 20% evangelical, 10% without religion. But those numbers say nothing about reality of what you find in the streets. Maybe because in some areas it's embarassing to identify as an atheist, as if you're immoral and cannot be trusted; so, people without religion simply say the religion of the family, or the generic "catholic, non-practicing". 4- Brazilian Law Our law is written and detailed. Everything you could want to know about our judicial system, our rights and etc. are explicit in laws; and our Constitution, in force since 1988, with more than 200 articles, guides all. The Supreme Court can make and change interpretations and, thus, issue binding decisions that are not seem in the law, but this is the exception. Cover of the official edition of the Brazilian Constitution in the English Language. (Source: https://www.stf.jus.br/arquivo/cms/legislacaoConstituicao/anexo/Brazil_Federal_Constitution_EC_125.pdf. Accessed on February 2025.) Most of the norms are federal and encompass the entire nation: it is a reason we are so "equal", in many senses, while living in a country with 212 million people (official estimation of IBGE, July 1st 2024 * ) and that represents 48% of the size of South America. 5- Now something very specific to my city, a capital city on the south of the country It's not expected to say Good morning when you cross with a stranger on the street. No Hello or Good morning to the bus driver also. I mean, a lot of people greet, but many don't and it's common to not do so. In many other parts of the country, of course, it's different. For example, I lived in a capital city on the north, and everybody expected you to say Good Morning! when entering an elevator in the morning, behavior that generally makes people think you're strange here in my southern city. If I ask for the name of a seller on a store, to be more polite saying his or her name occasionally if I am making a lot of questions and demanding more attention time, they as…

HPR4342: How I use Git to blog on the web and gopherspace

8 weeks ago

—

First, I create a Git repository some place on the server. This is the Git repo that's going to be populated with your content, but it doesn't have to be in a world-viewable location on your server. Instead, you can place this anywhere, and then use a Git hook or a cronjob to copy files from it to a world-viewable directory. I don't cover that here. I refer to this location as the staging directory. Next, create a bare repository on your server. In its hooks directory, create a shell script called post-receive: #!/usr/bin/bash # while read oldrev newrev refname do BR=`git rev-parse --symbolic --abbrev-ref $refname` if [ "$BR" == "master" ]; then WEB_DIR="/my/staging/dir" export GIT_DIR="$WEB_DIR/.git" pushd $WEB_DIR > /dev/null git pull popd > /dev/null fi done Now when you push to your bare repository, you are triggering the post-receive script to run, which in turn triggers a git pull in your staging directory. Once your staging directory contains the content you want to distribute, you can copy them to live directories, or you could make your staging directory live (remember to exclude the .git directory though), or whatever you want. For gopher, I create a file listing by date using a shell script: #!/usr/bin/bash SED=/usr/bin/sed DIR_BASE=/my/live/dir DIR_LIVE=blog DIR_STAGING=staging DATE=${DATE:-`date --rfc-3339=date`} for POST in `find "$DIR_BASE"/"$DIR_STAGING" -type f -name "item.md" -exec grep -Hl "$DATE" {} ;`; do POSTDIR=`dirname "$POST"` cp "$POST" "$DIR_BASE"/"$DIR_LIVE"/`basename $POSTDIR`.txt echo -e 0Latest't'../"$DIR_LIVE"/`basename $POSTDIR`.txt > /tmp/updater.tmp echo -e 0"$DATE" `basename $POSTDIR`'t'../"$DIR_LIVE"/`basename $POSTDIR`.txt >> /tmp/updater.tmp "${SED}" -i "/0Latest/ r /tmp/updater.tmp" "$DIR_BASE"/date/gophermap "${SED}" -i '0,/0Latest/{/0Latest/d;}' "$DIR_BASE"/date/gophermap /usr/bin/rm /tmp/updater.tmp done…

HPR4341: Transferring Large Data Sets

8 weeks ago

—

Transferring Large Data Sets Very large data sets present their own problems. Not everyone has directories with hundreds of gigabytes of project files, but I do, and I assume I'm not the only one. For instance, I have a directory with over 700 radio shows, many of these directories also have a podcast, and they also have pictures and text files. Doing a properties check on the directory I see 450 gigabytes of data. When I started envisioning Libre Indie Archive I wanted to move the directories into archival storage using optical drives. My first attempt at this didn't work because I lost metadata when I wrote the optical drives since optical drives are read only. After further work and study I learned that tar files can preserve meta data if they are created and uncompressed as root. In fact, if you are running tar as root preserving file ownership and permissions is the default. So this means that optical drives are an option if you write tar archives onto the optical drives. I have better success rates with 25 GB Blue Ray Discs than with the 50 GB discs. So, if your directory breaks up into projects that fit on 25 GB discs, that's great. My data did not do this easily but tar does have an option to write a data set to multiple tar files each with a maximum size, labelling them -0 -1, etc. When using this multi volume feature you cannot use compression. So you will get tar files, not tar.gz files. It's better to break the file sets up in more reasonable sizes so I decided to divide the shows up alphabetically by title, so all the shows starting with the letter a would be one data set and then down the alphabet, one letter at a time. Most of the letters would result in a single tar file labeled -0 that would fit on the 25 GB disc. Many letters, however, took two or even three tar files that would have to be written on different disks and then concatenated on the primary system before they are extracted to the correct location in primaryfiles. There is a companion program to tar, called tarcat, that I used to combine 2 or 3 tar files split by length into a single tar file that could be extracted. I ran engrampa as root to extract the files. So, I used a tar command on the working system where my Something Blue radio shows are stored. Then I used K3b to burn these files onto a 25 GB Blu Ray Disc carefully labeling the discs and writing a text file that I used to keep up with which files I had already copied to Disc. Then on the Libre Indie Archive primary system I copied from the Blu Ray to the boot drive the file or files for that data set. Then I would use tarcat to combine the files if there was more than one file for that data set. And finally I would extract the files to primaryfiles by running engrampa as root. Now I'm going to go into details on each of these steps. First make sure that the Libre Indie Archive program, prep.sh, is in your home directory on your workstation. Then from the data directory to be archived, in my case the something_blue directory run prep.sh like this. ~/prep.sh This will create a file named IA_Origin.txt that lists the date, the computer and directory being archived, and the users and userids on that system. All very helpful information to have if at some time in the future you need to do a restore. Next create a tar data set for each letter of the alphabet. (You may want to divide y…

HPR4338: 328eforth

9 weeks ago

—

Review of the book the Arduino controlled by eforth by dr chen-hanson ting published in 2018 written by chen-hanson ting Late Dr. ting was a chemist turned engineer. he earned a phd in chemistry at the U of Chicago in 1965. taught chemistry in Taiwan until 1975. became a firmware engineer until hI retirement in 2000. he was a forth advocate for more than 50 years, especially a forth called eforth that has been ported to many devices, including the micro chip atmega 328 found on the arduino uno board. I found this book while searching for forths for the arduino uno boards. the source code and documentation for eforth is available in a lot of places I will put a few links in the show notes. I believe I mentioned this forth in an earlier hpr where I talked about choosing a forth. forth interest group https://forth.org https://wiki.forth-ev.de https://chochain.github.io (pdf) When I first encountered dr tings forth for arduino I was interested for one reason, it was easily assembled using avra, the gnu port of the atmel assembler. this was nice because using atmels (now microchips) assemblers on Linux required installing wine and installing wine, in the past, on a 64 bit Slackware meant installing 32 bit libraries to have a multI lib Slackware. ( that not an issue now). assembling the forth code in avra is quick, its only a little bit over 5k in size in the end. After playing with eforth for a while I became frustrated because I could create new words in the dictionary and the examples ran fine, but nothing persisted across reboot. so I dropped eforth and ended up using flashforth, which is a great, robust full featured forth. I still recommend flashforth if your starting out with forth on a microcontroller its solid software with good documentation. At the end of last year I thought it would be fun to write my own forth. and after looking into doing that I revisited 328eforth and thought, no how about I fix the problems with eforth on the arduino. so I dug out the book and began reading. Jones forth port at https://ratfactor.com/nasmjf The book has 6 parts. part 1 is dr tings musings on how he ended up creating 328eforth. part 2 explains installing eforth. the 3rd part begins exercising the arduino board using forth in the interactive interpreter. part 4 explains 328eforth implementation and design decisions. part 5 is the full commented source code of 328eforth and, this is the best part, dr tings explanation of what is going on in the code broken down by functional sections. a gold mine of information! part 6 conclusions The last part is his conclusions and examples to learn forth. This is a great free software project. nothing is hidden. it is accessible to anybody who would take the time to read and dig into the code. its makes assembly language much less dark and foreboding. I'll finish by reading a couple of paragraphs from dr tings book dr ting concludes: People using computers are trained to be slaves. You are taught to push certain buttons, and your are taught to push certain keys. Then, you get employed to push buttons and keys to work as slaves. Computers, programming languages, and operating systems are made complicated to enslave…
