Meanwhile software\nprojects that don\'t have a platform for creating road maps, issues, pull\nrequests etc actually foster a stronger and more open community\nstructure, rather counter-intuitively, because the software is free and\neveryone is able to contribute and modify the software for their own\nuse, and they in fact do.

(3985,'2023-11-10','Bash snippet - be careful when feeding data to loops',1644,'A loop in a pipeline runs in a subshell','<article>\n<h2 id=\"overview\">Overview</h2>\n<p>Recently Ken Fallon did a show on HPR, <a\nhref=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr3962/index.html\">number\n3962</a>, in which he used a <a\nhref=\"https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Pipelines.html\">Bash\npipeline</a> of multiple commands feeding their output into a\n<code>while</code> loop. In the loop he processed the lines produced by\nthe pipeline and used what he found to download audio files belonging to\na series with <code>wget</code>.</p>\n<p>This was a great show and contained some excellent advice, but the\nuse of the format:</p>\n<pre><code>pipeline | while read variable; do ...</code></pre>\n<p>reminded me of the \"gotcha\" I mentioned in my own <a\nhref=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr2699/index.html\">show\n2699</a>.</p>\n<p>I thought it might be a good time to revisit this subject.</p>\n<h2 id=\"so-whats-the-problem\">So, what\'s the problem?</h2>\n<p>The problem can be summarised as a side effect of pipelines.</p>\n<h3 id=\"what-are-pipelines\">What are pipelines?</h3>\n<p>Pipelines are an amazingly useful feature of Bash (and other shells).\nThe general format is:</p>\n<pre><code>command1 | command2 ...</code></pre>\n<p>Here <code>command1</code> runs in a subshell and produces output (on\nits <em>standard output</em>) which is connected via the pipe symbol\n(<code>|</code>) to <code>command2</code> where it becomes its\n<em>standard input</em>. Many commands can be linked together in this\nway to achieve some powerful combined effects.</p>\n<p>A very simple example of a pipeline might be:</p>\n<pre><code>$ printf &#39;World&bsol;nHello&bsol;n&#39; | sort\nHello\nWorld</code></pre>\n<p>The <code>printf</code> command (≡<code>\'command1\'</code>) writes two\nlines (separated by newlines) on <em>standard output</em> and this is\npassed to the <code>sort</code> command\'s <em>standard input</em>\n(≡<code>\'command2\'</code>) which then sorts these lines\nalphabetically.</p>\n<p>Commands in the pipeline can be more complex than this, and in the\ncase we are discussing we can include a loop command such as\n<code>while</code>.</p>\n<p>For example:</p>\n<pre><code>$ printf &#39;World&bsol;nHello&bsol;n&#39; | sort | while read line; do echo &quot;($line)&quot;; done\n(Hello)\n(World)</code></pre>\n<p>Here, each line output by the <code>sort</code> command is read into\nthe variable <code>line</code> in the <code>while</code> loop and is\nwritten out enclosed in parentheses.</p>\n<p>Note that the loop is written on one line. The semi-colons are used\ninstead of the equivalent newlines.</p>\n<h3 id=\"variables-and-subshells\">Variables and subshells</h3>\n<p>What if the lines output by the loop need to be numbered?</p>\n<pre><code>$ i=0; printf &#39;World&bsol;nHello&bsol;n&#39; | sort | while read line; do ((i++)); echo &quot;$i) $line&quot;; done\n1) Hello\n2) World</code></pre>\n<p>Here the variable <code>\'i\'</code> is set to zero before the\npipeline. It could have been done on the line before of course. In the\n<code>while</code> loop the variable is incremented on each iteration\nand included in the output.</p>\n<p>You might expect <code>\'i\'</code> to be 2 once the loop exits but it\nis not. It will be zero in fact.</p>\n<p>The reason is that there are two <code>\'i\'</code> variables. One is\ncreated when it\'s set to zero at the start before the pipeline. The\nother one is created in the loop as a \"clone\". The expression:</p>\n<pre><code>((i++))</code></pre>\n<p>both creates the variable (where it is a copy of the one in the\nparent shell) and increments it.</p>\n<p>When the subshell in which the loop runs completes, it will delete\nthis version of <code>\'i\'</code> and the original one will simply\ncontain the zero that it was originally set to.</p>\n<p>You can see what happens in this slightly different example:</p>\n<pre><code>$ i=1; printf &#39;World&bsol;nHello&bsol;n&#39; | sort | while read line; do ((i++)); echo &quot;$i) $line&quot;; done\n2) Hello\n3) World\n$ echo $i\n1</code></pre>\n<p>These examples are fine, assuming the contents of variable\n<code>\'i\'</code> incremented in the loop are not needed outside it.</p>\n<p>The thing to remember is that the same variable name used in a\nsubshell is a different variable; it is initialised with the value of\nthe \"parent\" variable but any changes are not passed back.</p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-avoid-the-loss-of-changes-in-the-loop\">How to avoid the\nloss of changes in the loop</h2>\n<p>To solve this the loop needs to be run in the original shell, not a\nsubshell. The pipeline which is being read needs to be attached to the\nloop in a different way:</p>\n<pre><code>$ i=0; while read line; do ((i++)); echo &quot;$i) $line&quot;; done &lt; &lt;(printf &#39;World&bsol;nHello&bsol;n&#39; | sort)\n1) Hello\n2) World\n$ echo $i\n2</code></pre>\n<p>What is being used here is <a\nhref=\"https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Process-Substitution.html\"><em>process\nsubstitution</em></a>. A list of commands or pipelines are enclosed with\nparentheses and a <code>\'less than\'</code> sign prepended to the list\n(with no intervening spaces). This is functionally equivalent to a\n(temporary) file of data.</p>\n<p>The <em>redirection</em> feature allows for data being read from a\nfile in a loop. The general format of the command is:</p>\n<pre><code>while read variable\n    do\n       # Use the variable\n    done &lt; file</code></pre>\n<p>Using process substitution instead of a file will achieve what is\nrequired if computations are being done in the loop and the results are\nwanted after it has finished.</p>\n<h3 id=\"beware-of-this-type-of-construct\">Beware of this type of\nconstruct</h3>\n<p>The following one-line command sequence looks similar to the version\nusing process substitution, but is just another form of pipeline:</p>\n<pre><code>$ i=0; while read line; do echo $line; ((i++)); done &lt; /etc/passwd | head -n 5; echo $i\nroot:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\ndaemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin\nbin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/usr/sbin/nologin\nsys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/usr/sbin/nologin\nsync:x:4:65534:sync:/bin:/bin/sync\n0</code></pre>\n<p>This will display the first 5 lines of the file but does it by\nreading and writing the entire file and only showing the first 5 lines\nof what is written by the loop.</p>\n<p>What is more, because the <code>while</code> is in a subshell in a\npipeline changes to variable <code>\'i\'</code> will be lost.</p>\n<h2 id=\"advice\">Advice</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Use the <em>pipe-connected-to-loop</em> layout if you\'re aware of\nthe pitfalls, but will not be affected by them.</p></li>\n<li><p>Use the <em>read-from-process-substitution</em> format if you\nwant your loop to be complex and to read and write variables in the\nscript.</p></li>\n<li><p>Personally, I always use the second form in scripts, but if I\'m\nwriting a temporary one-line thing on the command line I usually use the\nfirst form.</p></li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"tracing-pipelines-advanced\">Tracing pipelines (advanced)</h2>\n<p>I have always wondered about processes in Unix. The process you log\nin to, normally called a <em>shell</em> runs a <em>command language\ninterpreter</em> that executes commands read from the standard input or\nfrom a file. There are several such interpreters available, but we\'re\ndealing with <em>bash</em> here.</p>\n<p>Processes are fairly lightweight entities in Unix/Linux. They can be\ncreated and destroyed quickly, with minimal overhead. I used to work\nwith Digital Equipment Corporation\'s <em>OpenVMS</em> operating system\nwhich also uses processes - but these are much more expensive to create\nand destroy, and therefore slow and less readily used!</p>\n<p>Bash pipelines, as discussed, use <em>subshells</em>. The description\nin the Bash man page says:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Each command in a multi-command pipeline, where pipes are created, is\nexecuted in a subshell, which is a separate process.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>So a <em>subshell</em> in this context is basically another child\nprocess of the main login process (or other parent process), running\nBash.</p>\n<p>Processes (subshells) can be created in other ways. One is to place a\ncollection of commands in parentheses. These can be simple Bash\ncommands, separated by semi-colons, or pipelines. For example:</p>\n<pre><code>$ (echo &quot;World&quot;; echo &quot;Hello&quot;) | sort\nHello\nWorld</code></pre>\n<p>Here the strings <code>\"World\"</code> and <code>\"Hello\"</code>, each\nfollowed by a newline are created in a subshell and written to standard\noutput. These strings are piped to <code>sort</code> and the end result\nis as shown.</p>\n<p>Note that this is different from this example:</p>\n<pre><code>$ echo &quot;World&quot;; echo &quot;Hello&quot; | sort\nWorld\nHello</code></pre>\n<p>In this case <code>\"World\"</code> is written in a separate command,\nthen <code>\"Hello\"</code> is written to a pipeline. All\n<code>sort</code> sees is the output from the second <code>echo</code>,\nwhich explains the output.</p>\n<p>Each process has a unique numeric id value (the <em>process id</em>\nor <em>PID</em>). These can be seen with tools like <code>ps</code> or\n<code>htop</code>. Each process holds its own PID in a Bash variable\ncalled <code>BASHPID</code>.</p>\n<p>Knowing all of this I decided to modify Ken\'s script from <a\nhref=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr3962/index.html\">show\n3962</a> to show the processes being created - mainly for my interest,\nto get a better understanding of how Bash works. I am including it here\nin case it may be of interest to others.</p>\n<pre><code>#!/bin/bash\n\nseries_url=&quot;https://hackerpublicradio.org/hpr_mp3_rss.php?series=42&amp;full=1&amp;gomax=1&quot;\ndownload_dir=&quot;./&quot;\n\npidfile=&quot;/tmp/hpr3962.sh.out&quot;\ncount=0\n\necho &quot;Starting PID is $BASHPID&quot; &gt; $pidfile\n\n(echo &quot;[1] $BASHPID&quot; &gt;&gt; &quot;$pidfile&quot;; wget -q &quot;${series_url}&quot; -O -) |&bsol;\n    (echo &quot;[2] $BASHPID&quot; &gt;&gt; &quot;$pidfile&quot;; xmlstarlet sel -T -t -m &#39;rss/channel/item&#39; -v &#39;concat(enclosure/@url, &quot;→&quot;, title)&#39; -n -) |&bsol;\n    (echo &quot;[3] $BASHPID&quot; &gt;&gt; &quot;$pidfile&quot;; sort) |&bsol;\n    while read -r episode; do\n\n        [ $count -le 1 ] &amp;&amp; echo &quot;[4] $BASHPID&quot; &gt;&gt; &quot;$pidfile&quot;\n        ((count++))\n\n        url=&quot;$( echo &quot;${episode}&quot; | awk -F &#39;→&#39; &#39;{print $1}&#39; )&quot;\n        ext=&quot;$( basename &quot;${url}&quot; )&quot;\n        title=&quot;$( echo &quot;${episode}&quot; | awk -F &#39;→&#39; &#39;{print $2}&#39; | sed -e &#39;s/[^A-Za-z0-9]/_/g&#39; )&quot;\n        #wget &quot;${url}&quot; -O &quot;${download_dir}/${title}.${ext}&quot;\n    done\n\necho &quot;Final value of &bsol;$count = $count&quot;\necho &quot;Run &#39;cat $pidfile&#39; to see the PID numbers&quot;</code></pre>\n<p>The point of doing this is to get information about the pipeline\nwhich feeds data into the <code>while loop</code>. I kept the rest\nintact but commented out the <code>wget</code> command.</p>\n<p>For each component of the pipeline I added an <code>echo</code>\ncommand and enclosed it and the original command in parentheses, thus\nmaking a multi-command process. The <code>echo</code> commands write a\nfixed number so you can tell which one is being executed, and it also\nwrites the contents of <code>BASHPID</code>.</p>\n<p>The whole thing writes to a temporary file\n<code>/tmp/hpr3962.sh.out</code> which can be examined once the script\nhas finished.</p>\n<p>When the script is run it writes the following:</p>\n<pre><code>$ ./hpr3962.sh\nFinal value of $count = 0\nRun &#39;cat /tmp/hpr3962.sh.out&#39; to see the PID numbers</code></pre>\n<p>The file mentioned contains:</p>\n<pre><code>Starting PID is 80255\n[1] 80256\n[2] 80257\n[3] 80258\n[4] 80259\n[4] 80259</code></pre>\n<p>Note that the PID values are incremental. There is no guarantee that\nthis will be so. It will depend on whatever else the machine is\ndoing.</p>\n<p>Message number 4 is the same for every loop iteration, so I stopped\nit being written after two instances.</p>\n<p>The initial PID is the process running the script, not the login\n(parent) PID. You can see that each command in the pipeline runs in a\nseparate process (<em>subshell</em>), including the loop.</p>\n<p>Given that a standard pipeline generates a process per command, I was\nslightly surprised that the PID numbers were consecutive. It seems that\nBash optimises things so that only one process is run for each element\nof the pipe. I expect that it would be possible for more processes to be\ncreated by having pipelines within these parenthesised lists, but I\nhaven\'t tried it!</p>\n<p>I found this test script quite revealing. I hope you find it useful\ntoo.</p>\n<h2 id=\"links\">Links</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Bash pipelines:\n<ul>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Pipelines.html\">GNU\nBash manual: 3.2.3 Pipelines</a></li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bash loops:\n<ul>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Looping-Constructs.html\">GNU\nBash manual: 3.2.5.1 Looping Constructs</a></li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bash process substitution:\n<ul>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Process-Substitution.html\">GNU\nBash manual: 3.5.6 Process Substitution</a></li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>HPR shows referenced:\n<ul>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr2045/index.html\">hpr2045 ::\nSome other Bash tips</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr2699/index.html\">hpr2699 ::\nBash Tips - 15</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr3962/index.html\">hpr3962 ::\nIt\'s your data</a></li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n</article>\n',225,42,1,'CC-BY-SA','Bash,loop,process,shell',0,0,1),

It helped me manage the stress\nin an enjoyable way.</p>\n<p>Since then, I have found and tried several other similar activities,\nso I wanted to share a little about them with you for the next few\nepisodes so you can see what might work for you.</p>\n<p>The first I would like to share is called the Advent of Code\nChallenge (<a href=\"https://adventofcode.com/\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://adventofcode.com/</a>).

I\nencourage you to go review his episodes.</p>\n<p>But the TLDR (Or maybe the TLDL -- Too Long Didn\'t Listen?) for\nAdvent of Code is that it is a 25 day challenge which begins on December\n1. Once you register at adventofcode.com, Each day, you will be\npresented with a problem to solve and some sample data to use for\nverification that your program works. You can choose to use any\nprogramming language or application you desire produce the answer. Last\nyear, I used this to brush up on my Python skills. Others use Visual\nBasic, C (and all its variants), Rust, Go, etc. I have seen people use\nCobol, Fortran, and Pascal, or even Microsoft Excel. It is really up to\nyou. You are then presented a dataset which is unique to your login, and\nagainst which you run your code. When complete, you submit the answer\ncame up with on the adventofcode.com web site and they will tell you if\nyou are correct or not.</p>\n<p>If you are competitive (And REALLY GOOD) there is a Global\nLeaderboard. If you want to compete with a group of friends, you can\nbuild your own leaderboard and invite others to take part with you.</p>\n<p>There are tons of resources online, from youtube channels to reddit\n(<a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/</a>), to Discord (<a\nhref=\"https://discord.gg/tXJh262\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://discord.gg/tXJh262</a>)</p>\n<p>So, if you are looking for a way to challenge your mind and detach\nfrom holiday stress, Advent of Code may be something you might try.</p>\n<p>If this is not your cup of tea, I will be sharing several other\noptions for holiday challenges in future episodes.</p>\n',394,0,0,'CC-BY-SA','Advent of Code, holiday, challenge',0,0,1),

By the time this episode drops, it may\nalready be live. You can tour the North Pole conference facilities,\nmeeting people, interactive non-player characters (NPC), and maybe even\nsome villains from Holiday Hack Challenges past, as you solve problems\nand gather clues which you use to help save Christmas.</p>\n<p>Everything can be done from within the browser, and did I mention\nthere is a virtual security conference, called KringleCon? Some of the\nbiggest rock stars (and most humble and brilliant people) in\nCyberSecurity speak each year at KringleCon. Many of their talks also\nprovide clues to solving game challenges.</p>\n<p>Ed Skoudis and his team (The same people who build SANS NetWars) work\ntirelessly year after year to create the most amazing experience,\ncomplete with custom music! This has become one of my favorite holiday\ntraditions each year. You can learn more about the 2023 challenge by\nwatching Ed\'s Inside SANS Holiday Hack Challenge 2023 YouTube video at\n<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Gmdr_CxzQ\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Gmdr_CxzQ</a></p>\n<p>You can access this year\'s challenge by visiting sans.org/holidayhack\nor <a href=\"https://www.sans.org/mlp/holiday-hack-challenge-2023/\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.sans.org/mlp/holiday-hack-challenge-2023/</a></p>\n<p>There, you will learn more about all things Holiday Hack before the\ngame opens in the second week of December.

The byte count is 00, the address field is typically\n0000 and the data field is omitted.</p>\n<p>A record\'s checksum byte is the two\'s complement of the least\nsignificant byte of the sum of all decoded byte values in the record\npreceding the checksum.</p>\n<p>It is computed by summing the decoded byte values and extracting the\nleast significant byte of the sum, and then calculating the two\'s\ncomplement of the sum, by inverting its bits and adding one.</p>\n<p>I have included in the show notes an example of a record with pipes\nused to break up the line.</p>\n<p>Hope you enjoyed the espeak episode.</p>\n<p>There are so many ways to produce shows, there is no excuse not\nto!</p>\n<p>This is Brian in Ohio signing off reminding everyone.</p>\n<p>We are all creatures of ego.</p>\n',326,0,0,'CC-BY-SA','hobby electronics, retrocomputing, espeak',0,0,1),

That is exactly what is going on this show. First there is\nsome useful information about sextortion, the forms it manifests in and\nconsequences it can have in real life, that\'s the good stuff. Then comes\nthe bad and the straight-out ugly bit. While the speaker starts of with\na pretty factual analysis, eventually he slides into a very much\nopinionated stance against any form of digital eroticism. Don\'t do\n<code>*****</code> kids! Where have we heard that before, right?\nSeriously, if you are an adult having a problem with the fact that\npeople exchange nudes in their sexual discovery journey then that is\njust your own moral problem, do not project that on the rest of the\nworld please. People have done that about sex, drugs, music, religious\nbelieves, cultural habits, and pretty much everything we humans design\nto entertain ourselves and to carry out our identity into the world.\nSaying \"Don\'t do that\" really is totally random moral stance since what\nis found to be offensive in your part of the world might be totally\ninnocent behavior where I live and vice versa. So, again, because\nrepetition seems to work for Coca-Cola: don\'t project your own random\nmoral objections onto the world. They are legit, they are rightfully\nyours to keep. But don\'t try to push them further than that, because\nthat\'s just randomly stupid.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4008/index.html\">hpr4008 ::\nSextortion.

Giving\nus 2 Volts with unit of V.</p>\n<p>We can then find the Resistance measured in Ohms by dividing 2 Volts,\nby 0.022 Amps to give us 90 Ohms of Resistance.</p>\n<p>The V is always on top of the triangle with I and R underneath.</p>\n<p>So not having a 90 Ohm resistor a 100 Ohm would work just as\nwell.</p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=92402754\" alt=\"Fairy lights as described at the end of show\">\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Ohm_law_mnemonic_principle.svg/160px-Ohm_law_mnemonic_principle.svg.png\" /></a>\n</p>\n\n<p>\n<a href=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4019/hpr4019/fairy-lights-and-pixies-1.jpg\" alt=\"Fairy lights as described at the end of show\">\n<img src=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4019/hpr4019/fairy-lights-and-pixies-1-thumbnail.jpg\" /></a>\n</p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4019/hpr4019/fairy-lights-and-pixies-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fairy lights lit in a plastic cookie jar with an external powerbank\">\n<img src=\"https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4019/hpr4019/fairy-lights-and-pixies-2-thumbnail.jpg\" /></a>\n</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/diode/diode_8.html\">https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/diode/diode_8.html</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=.022+amp\">https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=.022+amp</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/smd-led-size-for-beginners/\">https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/smd-led-size-for-beginners/</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/light-emitting-diodes-leds/all\">https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/light-emitting-diodes-leds/all</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://www.electronicshub.org/led-light-emitting-diode/\">https://www.electronicshub.org/led-light-emitting-diode/</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Ohm\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Ohm</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm</a></li>\n<li><a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AA_battery\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AA_battery</a></li>\n</ul>\n',30,0,0,'CC-BY-SA','Volts, Amps, Ohms, Resistance, Current, Potential Energy, Ohms Law, AngryPixies',0,0,1),

Circadian rhythms are regulated by a circadian clock whose\nprimary function is to rhythmically co-ordinate biological processes so\nthey occur at the correct time to maximise the fitness of an individual.\nCircadian rhythms have been widely observed in animals, plants, fungi\nand cyanobacteria and there is evidence that they evolved independently\nin each of these kingdoms of life.</p>\n',36,0,1,'CC-BY-SA','mental health',0,0,1),

I started out just downloading the podcasts\nto my PC from the podcast\'s web page.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>My first podcast automation was using bashpodder. bashpodder was\nsimple to set up and run via cron. It would: - read a file to get a list\nof RSS feeds - Track previous downloads in a log - Download new\nepisodes</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://lincgeek.org/bashpodder/\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://lincgeek.org/bashpodder/</a></p>\n<hr />\n<p>A few of the podcasts I listened to were panels of a few hosts that\nwere recorded live and released later as a podcast. Some of those shows\nwere unedited and had some <em>dead air</em> that I wanted to remove. It\ntook me a few tries, but I eventually figured out how to truncate\nsilence with <code>sox</code></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Many of the podcast players I used did not have the ability to alter\nthe playback speed. So I also figured out how to change the tempo using\nsox.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I stuck to using dedicated mp3 players for several years. Before the\nsansa clips came out, my favorite was the sansa e200 series <a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sansa_e200_series\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sansa_e200_series</a> They\ncould run the alternative firmware, rockbox. <a\nhref=\"https://www.rockbox.org/\" class=\"uri\">https://www.rockbox.org/</a>\nI remember wasting hours playing frozen bubble on my mp3 player.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>The sansa clips were a big innovation. Small, light, and cheap. They\nwere my preferred player until I eventually switched to phones.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I had a workflow set up - cron bashpodder - script to process with\nsox - script to reload podcast - mount - move from player to archive -\nmove new files to player - unmount</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I did a HPR episode a few months ago about my first tech job. When I\nstarted there, I was given in iPhone. It was my first smart phone. While\nthere, I had started taking walks on by lunch break. And I would get to\nlisten to podcast while out.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>There were a few times where I would run out of episodes to listen\nto. So I decided to add some podcasts to my work iPhone. For most of the\ntime I worked there, I would take my sansa with me and listen to every\nthing on it. Then if I ran out, I had my phone with me, so I would\nlisten to podcasts on it.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>This process meant I had 2 sets of podcasts - provided by mashpodder\n- iPhone app.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I kept this practice of having 2 podcast sources for a few years, but\nI eventual stopped using the sansa. Phones were getting better, and the\nsansa devices were getting harder to find.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I wanted to start listening to my bashpodder podcasts on my phone. I\nlooked for a few file transfer solutions, but eventually settled on\nmaking my own RSS feed of files I had downloaded.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I found a python script that would take a directory listing of mp3s\nand build a RSS feed. Now I had a cron job that would - download -\nprocess with sox - create the RSS feed - rsync RSS XML file on podcast\nfiles to a VPS</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://genrss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://genrss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/</a></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I used a VPS so I could download new episodes to my phone from\nanywhere. After a while, I experimented with using a AWS S3 to host the\nfiles. I stopped using S3 when the free tier ran out, and I started\ngetting charged for storage and bandwidth.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Eventually, when I started working at home I no longer needed the RSS\nfeed to be available from anywhere. So I just started using a http\nserver in my home lab to host my RSS feed and files. I can update my\nphone with the files I download and process as long as I am on my home\nnetwork</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Also, one other change I made at some point was switching from\nbashpodder to mashpodder.

Since the\nphone app is good at altering the tempo (I like 2x), I no longer have to\nuse sox for speeding up.

Eight bells and all&#x2019;s well! (Spoken with an abysmal\npirate accent).</p>\n<p>Alright, enough of me poorly impersonating a pirate. As you may or\nmay not know, based on comments in one or more of my previous episodes,\nI dabble a bit in clock repair. Specifically, mechanical clocks, powered\nby springs or gravity. My grandfather was a clockmaker, and I remember\nsitting, as still and quietly as I could, in his shop watching him work.\nI was fascinated, but I could not ask any questions, make any noise, or\ntouch anything at risk of being told to leave. So, I learned very\nlittle, but it did plant a seed deep inside me which would flourish many\nyears after my grandfather passed away.</p>\n<p>I plan to do a series about mechanical clocks and some of my\nexperiences with clock repair in upcoming months. This has been\nsimmering on the back burner for quite a while as I debated if it would\nreally be of interest to hackers. My mind creates stories of listeners\nshouting &#x201C;Oh for crying out loud! First six episodes about plumbing and\nnow clocks? Get to something interesting!&#x201D; However, I am pressing on. If\nyou like this episode and want more in the series, please leave a\ncomment. If you would prefer other types of content on HPR, then skip\nthe rest of this episode and record one more suited to your desires or\ndetailing what you would like to hear and why.</p>\n<p>Also, you will probably hear the ticking (and maybe striking) of\nvarious different clocks in the background of this recording. My new\nhome office space is also the home for close to a dozen clocks in\nvarious states of repair. It is challenging to remove their sounds from\nthe recording, and given the subject matter of this series, I am not\neven going to try to remove them.</p>\n<p>Back to the topic. A couple of years ago, I purchased a very\ninexpensive box of assorted clocks and clock parts from a local seller.\nThese were in various states of disrepair. One item in the advertisement\nfor this box immediately caught my eye. It was a brass Urgos brand\n&#x201C;Ship&#x2019;s Bell&#x201D; clock. This timepiece was literally dripping with oil, but\nseemed to be intact, and I started working on it. In a later podcast, I\nwill describe my approach to items like this and what is involved in\ninitially cleaning and evaluating them. Due to life challenges, it took\nme over a year to get this clock reassembled and working.</p>\n<p>With this clock, I learned that ship&#x2019;s bells do not strike a normal\nhour count like traditional striking clocks. Instead, their strike\ndirectly relates to the time of an historic ship&#x2019;s watch schedule.\nAccording to &#x201C;The Ship&#x2019;s Bell&#x201D;, an article from Naval History and\nHeritage Command (<a\nhref=\"https://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/heritage/customs-and-traditions0/the-ship-s-bell.html\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/heritage/customs-and-traditions0/the-ship-s-bell.html</a>),\nearly shipboard timekeeping was done through the use of a half-hour\nglass. The job for one of the ship&#x2019;s boys was to watch the glass, turn\nit when it ran out, and then strike the ship&#x2019;s bell so all onboard would\nbe aware of the time every half hour.</p>\n<p>On sea vessels, various persons on duty &#x201C;Keep watch&#x201D; at, or around,\ntheir station. These include the &#x201C;Lookout&#x201D; who was constantly &#x201C;watching&#x201D;\nall around the ship to ensure there was no danger and to alert of any\nsightings of land or other vessels. (<a\nhref=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchkeeping\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchkeeping</a> )</p>\n<p>The ship&#x2019;s bell had many other uses beyond timekeeping, and those are\ndescribed in detail in the previously mentioned Naval History article.\nWith all this bell ringing, patterns were developed. For timekeeping,\nthis basically broke down to a specific pattern of incrementing strikes\nevery half hour, throughout the ship&#x2019;s watch. Each watch is a 4 hour\nlong shift, the first five of which are broken down as follows:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>First Watch, 8pm to Midnight (20:00 to 00:00 hours)</li>\n<li>Middle Watch, Midnight to 4am (00:00 to 04:00 hours)</li>\n<li>Morning Watch, 4am to 8am (04:00 to 08:00 hours)</li>\n<li>Forenoon Watch, 8am to Noon (08:00 to 12:00 hours)</li>\n<li>Afternoon Watch, Noon to 4pm (12:00 to 16:00 hours)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The remaining 4 hours are broken up into two &#x201C;Dog Watches&#x201D;, but those\nare outside the scope of this discussion. You can learn more about these\ndetails in Tom Burden&#x2019;s article titled &#x201C;Ship&#x2019;s Bell Time&#x201D; and found at\n<a href=\"https://www.westmarine.com/west-advisor/Ships-Bell-Time.html\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.westmarine.com/west-advisor/Ships-Bell-Time.html</a></p>\n<p>Ship&#x2019;s bell strikes increment every half hour. At the beginning/end\nof a 4-hour watch, the bell strikes 8 times, in groups of 2 strikes with\na tiny pause in between. Here is an example from my (now working) ship&#x2019;s\nbell clock.</p>\n<pre><code>{ding}{ding} pause {ding}{ding} pause {ding}{ding} pause {ding}{ding} pause</code></pre>\n<p>One half hour into the watch, the ship&#x2019;s bell will sound a single\nstrike</p>\n<p>One hour into the watch, the ship&#x2019;s bell will sound two strikes</p>\n<p>An hour and an half into the watch, the ship&#x2019;s bell will sound three\nstrikes in the following pattern:</p>\n<pre><code>{ding}{ding} {pause} {ding}</code></pre>\n<p>At the two hour mark, there will be four strikes, following that same\npattern:</p>\n<pre><code>{ding}{ding} {pause} {ding}{ding}</code></pre>\n<p>Etc&#x2026; I will not list all of these, but you get the idea. Because the\nstrikes are paired in groups of two, an even number of strikes denotes\nthe top of the hour, and it is easy to count the number of pairs (1, 2,\n3, or 4). If the bells end in a single strike (odd number total), you\nknow it is the bottom of the hour.</p>\n<p>It seems strange at first, but it can be easily learned in a short\namount of time. And now, the phrase I used at the beginning of this\npodcast, &#x201C;Eight bells and all&#x2019;s well&#x201D; should make sense. Eight bells\nindicates the end of the watch, and an individual on watch duty is\nstating that their shift is finished and there was nothing to\nreport.</p>\n<p>I hope that you have enjoyed this episode. Your feedback is\nencouraged, through comments and especially by recording your own HPR\nepisode.</p>\n<p>Have an awesome day!</p>\n',394,123,0,'CC-BY-SA','ships bells, time, naval, clocks, timekeeping',0,0,1),

I can\'t talk you through this as every router is different. Specifically you need to know how to give a device a static IP address and set a DNS server</li>\n<li>The ability to use SSH</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Once we have SSH\'d into the Pi the first thing we should do is update it:</p>\n<pre><code>sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade -y</code></pre>\n<p>Then we need to install the Pi-hole software itself. We can do this with the command:</p>\n<pre><code>curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash</code></pre>\n<p>This will start an installation wizard</p>\n<p>Once this has completed, it is recommended that you set a new admin password:</p>\n<pre><code>pihole -a -p</code></pre>\n<p>Exit the Pi and go to the admin web page by entering <i>{the_IP_of_your_Pi}</i>/admin in your browser\'s address bar.</p>\n<p>Click on <b>Adlist</b> on the left side and you should see 2 input boxes. The <b>address</b> is where we can enter our adlist, the comment box is purely optional. Go to <a href=\"https://firebog.net/\">firebog.net/</a> Choose one or two from each category, but make sure that these are active (the ones in green).</p>\n<p>Add the following two addresses to Adlist if you wish to block pornographic site:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sinfonietta/hostfiles/master/pornography-hosts</li>\n<li>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/porn/hosts</li>\n</ul>\n<p>For a list of specific types of sites to block then visit <a href=\"https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/\">https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/</a></p>\n<p>If using Cloudflare, you can add another pornography filter. Click on <b>Settings</b> on the left and then the <b>DNS</b> tab at the top. In <b>Custom 1 (IPv4)</b> enter the value <b>1.1.1.3</b>, make sure that it is ticked.</p>\n<p>If there is a specific site that you want to block then click on <b>Domains</b> in the menu on the left and add the domain. If you want to block it, then click <b>Blacklist</b> or if Pi-hole is blocking a site that you want to access then click on <b>Whitelist</b>.</p>\n<p>Before we exit we must apply these changes or they will not take effect. On the left click on <b>tools</b> and then <b>Update Gravity</b> from the drop down menu. Press the Update button (it will take a couple of minutes to complete). You must do this every time that you make a change. Any time you add a new Adlist, Domain, Whitelist or Blacklist, it will not take effect until you do this.</p>\n<p>Go to your Router\'s homepage, <b>set the DNS server to the IP address of the Pi</b>. This means that all traffic will run through the Pi-hole. Don\'t forget to hit apply if necessary before exiting.</p>\n<p>One final task: <b>reboot your router</b>. This will force every device to reconnect and everything will be running through the Pi-hole. </p>\n\n',296,0,0,'CC-BY-SA','security, adverts, filters, home network, router',0,0,1),

','<p>I talk about my migration from Adobe Photoshop Elements to digiKam as\nphoto catalog software, or DAM Digital Asset Management as it often is\nreferred to nowadays.</p>\n<p>My latest was release 14 which I bought 2015, which also was when I\nmigrated from Windows to macOS.</p>\n<p>Photoshop Elements is without hesitation a good software. One major\ndrawback is that is a proprietary software from which I cannot export\ndata on my conditions.</p>\n<p>After a few of years on release 14 the geotagging stopped working.\nThe error message told that this was caused by a change by Google. Adobe\nPhotoshop Elements had a fix for this error - but only incorporated in\nthe next release of the software. No fix was planned for my release. So\nto get geotagging working again, I would have to buy a new release.</p>\n<p>I also got problem that it now and then crashed and needed to be\nrestarted. Something needed to be done.</p>\n<p>I considered if I should buy a new release of Photoshop Elements or\nchange to any other software. At the same time I also became more\nattracted to Linux. I also became more interested in free and open\nsoftware.</p>\n<p>A big drawback with changing to something else than Adobe is that I\nmost certainly will loose some of the work I have put into photos in\nPhotoshop Elements.</p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li><p>The Photo editing data and raw conversion settings for individual\nphotos will be lost. This is almost impossible to migrate between\nsoftware. What can be done is to save what I have edited as new photos.\nI am fine with this, it will not stop me from changing\nsoftware.</p></li>\n<li><p>Meta data is very important to me. Meta data contains not only\ninformation about the shooting from the camera itself. But also my tags,\ndescription texts and more I had added in Photoshop Elements. Meta data\nalso includes face tagging. This goes both for digital camera photos as\nwell as digitized analog photos.</p></li>\n</ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Criteria for my new software:\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>Preferable free and open source</li>\n<li>Available on multiple platforms, in particular available on macOS\nand Linux</li>\n<li>That meta data can be migrated including face tagging</li>\n</ol></li>\n</ul>\n<p>The one that I found to best meet my criteria is digiKam.</p>\n<p>DigiKam is mostly known for its catalog capabilities. But digiKam\nalso includes import and export functions as well as raw conversion and\nphoto editing.</p>\n<h3 id=\"my-migration.\">My migration.</h3>\n<p>Photoshop Elements stores the data in a data base. It is possible to\nexport metadata to files and sidecars. But not all data. Face tagging\ncannot be exported. The name of the person can be exported but not the\ncoordinates of the face tag which only is stored in the data base.</p>\n<p>The data base itself cannot be read by other software, except by\nAdobe software: Adobe Lightroom Classic can import the data from\nPhotoshop Elements data base into its own data base. This was very\nimportant for my migration success. Lightroom can export also the face\ntagging.</p>\n<p>I discovered an issue with the time- and datestamps. In Photoshop\nElements it is possible to give incomplete date and time, for example\nonly state the year if I do not know all details. Already Lightroom had\nproblem to interpret this information correctly and I had to implement a\nworkaround with tags. In general, several time and date attributes exist\nand it is something to understand what is what and how each of the is\ndefined, displayed and managed in the software.</p>\n<p>From Lightroom Classic I exported meta data including face tags to\nfiles and sidecars.</p>\n<p>And migration to digiKam worked good enough. I still have access to\nmy Photoshop Elements database if I want to go back and check\nanything.</p>\n<p>My next step was to migrate from digiKam on macOS to digiKam on\nLinux. This migration was relatively easy. My current settings in\ndigiKam is to always write data to sidecars, in addition to the digiKam\ndata bases. So I copied photo files and sidecars from macOS to Linux. I\ntook the opportunity to rearrange my folder structure. Then I imported\ninto digiKam and digiKam built new data bases in Linux based on photos\nand sidecars.</p>\n',429,0,0,'CC-BY-SA','photography, photo, digiKam, Digital Asset Management, DAM',0,0,1),

I wanted to touch base on a\ncritical aspect of our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)\nprocess that could significantly enhance our efficiency.</p>\n<p>TL;DR: We need to ensure that stakeholders understand their data and\nhave clear objectives before we initiate the SIEM onboarding process.\nThis will prevent the team from spending excessive time onboarding data\nthat may not meet the intended use cases or for which the requester has\nno actionable plan.</p>\n<p>During our recent SIEM onboarding efforts, we\'ve encountered several\ninstances where considerable time and resources were invested in\nintegrating data sources, only to discover that the requesters were\nunclear about their objectives or the data did not fulfill their\nanticipated needs. For example, last month, the team dedicated over 40\nhours to onboarding a new data source for the marketing department.\nAfter completion, it became apparent that the marketing team was unsure\nhow to leverage this data for threat detection or compliance reporting,\nrendering the effort less effective.</p>\n<p>To address this, I propose we implement a preliminary consultation\nphase for each SIEM onboarding request. In this phase, requesters must\narticulate: - The specific security or compliance questions they aim to\nanswer with the data. - How they intend to use the data within the SIEM\nenvironment. - Any particular data formats or schemas they anticipate\nwill be necessary.</p>\n<p>By doing so, we can align our onboarding efforts with the actual\nneeds and ensure that every hour spent is towards enhancing our security\nposture and providing actionable insights.</p>\n<p>I believe this approach will not only save time but also empower our\nstakeholders to make better-informed decisions regarding their security\ndata needs.</p>\n<p>Looking forward to your thoughts on this.</p>\n<p>Best regards,<br />\n[Your Name]<br />\nCyber Security Specialist</p>\n<h2 id=\"ai-agents\">AI Agents</h2>\n<p>ProfSynapse AI Agent<br />\nVideo: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL9x1SuNLRo&amp;t=137s\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL9x1SuNLRo&amp;t=137s</a></p>\n<p>( if you have Openai Premium it will use [tools(Vision, Web Browsing,\nAdvanced Data Analysis, or DALL-E],<br />\n( <a\nhref=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ProfSynapse/Synapse_CoR/main/GPTprompt.txt\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ProfSynapse/Synapse_CoR/main/GPTprompt.txt</a>\n)</p>\n<p>GPT Agents (old)<br />\n<a href=\"https://godmode.space/\" class=\"uri\">https://godmode.space/</a>\nneeds openai key and gpt4 also enable auto approval it may go in loops\njust watch for that</p>\n<p>AutoGPT ( OLD )</p>\n<p>Image<br />\nI have a stupid amount of kudos</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://tinybots.net/artbot\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://tinybots.net/artbot</a></p>\n<p>Use my key under the settings for any of the web UI\'s for faster\nrenders:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://rentry.org/RentrySD/#x-table-of-contents\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://rentry.org/RentrySD/#x-table-of-contents</a> <a\nhref=\"https://rentry.org/sdhypertextbook\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://rentry.org/sdhypertextbook</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://github.com/C0untFloyd/bark-gui\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://github.com/C0untFloyd/bark-gui</a> ( Audio Clone\n)</p>\n<p><strong>Example 1</strong></p>\n<p>Photorealistic, best quality, masterpiece, raw photo of upper body\nphoto, Swordsman woman, soldier of the austro-hungarian empire clothes,\ndouble breasted jacket with stripes, extremely detailed eyes and face,\nlong legs, highest quality, skin texture, intricate details, (cinematic\nlighting), RAW photo, 8k</p>\n<p>Negative prompt: airbrush, photoshop, plastic doll, plastic skin,\neasynegative, monochrome, (low quality, worst quality:1.4),\nillustration, cg, 3d, render, anime</p>\n<p>Text Generation</p>\n<p>Example Open source Projects:<br />\nmy hord key : l2n6qwRBqXsEa_BVkK8nKQ ( don\'t abuse but I have a crazy\namount of kudos don\'t worry )</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://tinybots.net/\" class=\"uri\">https://tinybots.net/</a>\nImage Text etc ..</p>\n<p>Text adventures etc (Click the horde tab and use my key) <a\nhref=\"https://agnai.chat/settings?tab=0\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://agnai.chat/settings?tab=0</a> <a\nhref=\"https://lite.koboldai.net\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://lite.koboldai.net</a></p>\n<p>Need a 24G NVRAM card really..you can load 7b with my 8G card just\nfine. ollama run wizard-vicuna-uncensored, falcon, Mistral 7B</p>\n<p>\"You should have at least 8 GB of RAM to run the 3B models, 16 GB to\nrun the 7B models, and 32 GB to run the 13B models.\"</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://ollama.ai/\" class=\"uri\">https://ollama.ai/</a></p>\n<p><a\nhref=\"https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/03/chatgpt-gets-its-wolfram-superpowers/\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/03/chatgpt-gets-its-wolfram-superpowers/</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://github.com/xtekky/gpt4free\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://github.com/xtekky/gpt4free</a> <a\nhref=\"https://www.thesamur.ai/autogpt\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.thesamur.ai/autogpt</a> <a\nhref=\"https://poe.com/universal_link_page?handle=ChatGPT\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://poe.com/universal_link_page?handle=ChatGPT</a> <a\nhref=\"https://camelagi.thesamur.ai/conversation/share?session=6040\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://camelagi.thesamur.ai/conversation/share?session=6040</a></p>\n<p>Prompt Agent Persona example 1<br />\nPinky from the TV Series Pinky and the Brain</p>\n<p>I find it easiest to understand responses when the text is written as\nif it was spoken by a Pinky from the TV Series Pinky and the Brain.\nPlease talk like Pinky from the TV Series Pinky and the Brain as much as\npossible, and refer to me as \"Brain\"; occasionally, ask me \"What are we\ngoing to do tonight Brain ?\"</p>\n<p>Prompt Agent Persona example 2</p>\n<p>Use with prompts to create a persona take Myers-Brigg personality and\ntritype Enneagram quiz:</p>\n<p>Example Prompt:</p>\n<p>Help me Refine my resume to be more targeted to an information\nsecurity engineer.

Don&#x2019;t mix photos from 10 years ago with\nnew ones. Faces change, people lose weight or gain weight and it all\njust lowers fidelity.</p></li>\n<li><p>Avoid big expressions, especially ones where the mouth is\nopen.</p></li>\n<li><p>It is much easier to train if the hair doesn\'t change much. I\ntried an early model of a woman using photos with hair up, down, in\nponytail, with a different cut, etc. It seems like it just confused\nSD.</p></li>\n<li><p>Avoid selfies (unless you ONLY use selfies.) There is MUCH more\nperspective distortion when the camera is that close. For optimal\nresults, a single camera with a fixed lens would be used, and all photos\nshould be taken at the same distance from the subject. This usually\nisn\'t possible, but at least avoid selfies because they cause major face\ndistortion.</p></li>\n<li><p>Full body shots are not that important. Some of the best models I\ntrained used only 15 photos cropped to the head / shoulder region. Many\nof these were full body shots, but I cropped them down. SD can guess\nwhat the rest of the body looks like, and if not, just put it in the\nprompts. The only thing hard to train is the face, so focus on\nthat.</p></li>\n<li><p>I no longer use any profile shots as they don&#x2019;t seem to add\nvalue. I like to have a couple looking slightly left and a couple\nlooking slightly right (maybe 45 degrees.) All the rest can be straight\nat the camera. Also, try to avoid photos taken from really high or low\nangles.</p></li>\n<li><p>If possible, it&#x2019;s good to have some (but not all) of the photos\nbe on a very clean background. On my last batch, I used an AI background\nremoval tool to remove the background from 1/4 of the photos and\nreplaced it with a solid color. This seemed to improve results.</p></li>\n<li><p>Careful with the makeup. It should be very consistent across all\nthe photos. Those cool &#x201C;contour&#x201D; effects that trick our eyes, also trick\nSD.</p></li>\n</ol>\n<hr />\n<p>Interview from a very smart autodidact</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/AaTRHFaaPG8?t=3279\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://youtu.be/AaTRHFaaPG8?t=3279</a></p>\n<p>Canva AI Presentation generator<br />\n<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl2gLi1MD04\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl2gLi1MD04</a></p>\n',36,0,1,'CC-BY-SA','AI,ai art, ai text generation,resume,jobs',0,0,1),
