Also a bit of experience making a couple of database-backed web sites.\r\n\r\nI like the idea of the third design of tags.\r\n\r\nI would also change the HPR episode intake process to make any new tags in the new format - have a cutover date/time after which all the new entries in the database use the new tagging scheme (populate the new tags tables and not the old tags fields.  In fact, even remove the old tags fields to avoid confusion about which set of tags is the \"right\" set).

You could keep a copy of the old site (and update it) for a while until confident the new site works properly.\r\n\r\nI don\'t know how the HPR web site is served, I got the impression from your series that it is static pages generated from a DB.  Perhaps you generate a new set of pages when a new episode is added to the DB.

I had that one episode that I procrastinated for a year because I wanted to edit it down for length. Finally I just published it.\r\n\r\nWorse is better. For me, anyway.','2017-09-09 07:41:36'),

I use the notes as a structure but mostly ad-lib the audio. Reading the notes is a big mistake as far as I am concerned. Since the first HPR show I did I do not rehearse.\r\n\r\nYears ago (late 1970\'s) I used to teach evening classes in an Adult Education centre (Pascal, BASIC). I evolved a similar style there, and constructed notes which became hand-outs for the students. Amusingly they were printed on a line-printer, and I\'d written my own text-processor to generate them (think early but less convenient Markdown).\r\n\r\nAs to audio editing, I do edit. I hesitate and \'um\' and \'er\' a lot and I deal with these by (light) silence truncation and removal of a proportion of \'um/er\' patterns. I can edit a lot faster now than when I started, but it\'s just a personal foible. Without editing I find my audio irritating to listen to and assume others will too!','2017-09-09 07:41:36'),
(1975,2278,'2017-06-15 10:03:32','Dave Morriss','Using echo, printf and ls','Hi clacke,\r\n\r\nYour comment made me think about the way I have been using echo in this series. I may have said this at some point, but maybe not: I was primarily using it to demonstrate how expansion was working. I don\'t use it in that way to view directory contents and so forth.\r\n\r\nExpansions like the ones here are used in many contexts, as you know. Back in my early days of using Unix (we had Sun, HP, DEC, Silicon Graphics and Apollo systems around at various times at the university I worked at), with a variety of shells. I think As an aside, I hated csh and tcsh the most!\r\n\r\nThere were time when I\'d type something like:\r\n\r\nrm *.msg\r\n\r\nand get back an error like \"too many files\". That was because the expansion of \'*.msg\' resulted in \'rm\' getting maybe thousands of file names, which it couldn\'t cope with. I got in the habit of doing stuff like:\r\n\r\necho *.msg | wc -w\r\n\r\nto warn me of such potential problems. Maybe even \'echo\' would fail sometimes with \"too many files\" (or similar), but I don\'t remember now. Maybe \'ls\' would have been a better choice back then. However, for this series I felt it \"got in the way\" a bit more, as it were :-)\r\n\r\nYour points about printf are well taken. I did mention it earlier in this series, and showed its use in various contexts. However, it probably deserves a show all of its own!\r\n\r\nYes, I had discovered:\r\n\r\n$ printf \"%s\\n\" *.msg\r\n\r\na while back and was surprised it printed out its arguments one per line. Some other \'printf\' implementations reject such things because there are more arguments than format specifiers. The Bash \'printf\' behaviour is better in my opinion.\r\n\r\nBetter stop - Ken will accuse me of wasting another show opportunity!','2017-09-09 07:41:36'),

Secondly I find that I need to change the screen background colour and font to be able to read the coloured text. Admittedly, this might be my eyes, but if a filename is basically a blur I don\'t get a lot from the feature! (I have similar problems with other commands that generate coloured output, so I don\'t blame \'exa\'.)\r\n\r\nPotentially the Git interface is useful, though I don\'t know what the symbols mean. The whole thing needs documentation - ideally in the form of a well-structured manpage. Also I was puzzled to find that:\r\n\r\nexa -l --git db_*\r\n\r\ndidn\'t show the Git details for the matching files. These are only shown when there\'s no file argument.\r\n\r\nMy final nit-pick is that my favourite \'ls -ltr\' can\'t be written so simply in \'exa\'.

Exercise isn\'t a weight loss tool per se, it\'s excellent for health and is probably the best single thing that you can do other than stopping smoking to improve your health. But don\'t look at it as a weight loss tool\".\r\n\r\nIn many cases exercise indirectly leads to eating more and thus more weight gain.\r\n','2017-09-09 07:41:37'),
(2101,2361,'2017-08-23 14:00:37','ClaudioM','Fantastic!','What a fantastic episode!  I found myself nodding my head so many times during this episode on what was said about exercise and weight loss.  I started my journey into fitness after so many years of not exercising and failing to keep it up after attempting to do so.  Initially, you have to start with a change in your state of mind.  I began to look at fitness as a long-term process of milestones, not as a means to an end or a \"goal\" in a determined period of time.  Once I did this, making it a routine was a lot easier for me to keep up.  I started with \"baby steps,\" doing 20-30 minutes of simple calisthenics.  After some time where I felt comfortable performing those exercises, I would push myself a little more each time, eventually increasing my workouts and the intensity.  While I didn\'t focus too much on the scale, I gradually noticed I was losing weight when I did weigh myself.  If I didn\'t lose weight that day, I wasn\'t disheartened because I had already set my mind that this was a long-term process and that I would lose it eventually, and I did.\r\n\r\nYou also need to think that you are doing this for _you_ and not for anyone else or any particular reason that isn\'t for you.  A better, healthier _you_ needs to be your motivation.  Once I started thinking this way as well, it gave me the enthusiasm to keep on going.\r\n\r\nI also changed my eating habits over time.  I found some information online stating that one should focus on eating foods with \"simple\" ingredients, meaning that it should be as unprocessed as possible.  The less ingredients shown, the quicker the body can process it and use it.  The more ingredients listed, the longer it takes and, depending on your intake, can end up being stored as fat.  Using this as a guideline, I moved away from a lot of the processed stuff to more natural foods, especially vegetables which I already loved but wasn\'t eating enough of.  If it had to come in a box, I made sure that it had as little ingredients listed as possible.  Sometimes, I\'ll eat wheat bran flakes or Honey Bunches of Oats, the former having less ingredients than the latter.  While both have less ingredients than other popular cereals on the market, I always choose simple oatmeal with some cinnamon and honey.  I also have eggs with spinach for breakfast, and sometimes even for dinner (this is my favorite plate thus far).  As far as sweets, I am taking in less sugar now than I used to.  I still have my coffee with cream and sugar at times (and very little at that), but I\'m also drinking it black more than before.  All of these changes along with my exercise routine have worked together to aid in my weight loss.\r\n\r\nI have been taking vitamin supplements but really it\'s just a simple multivitamin daily that you can get at any store.  It has helped boost my immune system and given my body the nutrients needed that I may not be getting naturally with my food intake.  I have added a couple of others that aren\'t included in the multivitamin supplement but only because I don\'t get enough of them from the foods I eat.  Remember, as the name implies, they are to _supplement_ what nutrients you are taking in daily (in other words, what you\'re not getting because of allergies/reactions to certain foods or availability of those foods).  It\'s also important to talk to your doctor and get informed on what you can and can\'t (or shouldn\'t) take when it comes to supplements.  In certain instances, certain vitamins/minerals can actually be harmful in large quantities.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/bodybuilding-mom-dies-from-too-much-protein-and-urea-cycle-disorder\r\nhttps://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/supplements-that-work-and-ones-you-should-skip\r\nhttps://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/best-foods-for-natural-health\r\n\r\nRegarding Ken\'s comment about weight gain and eating more, this is true but it needs to be taken in context.  As you continue training and working out, you are building muscle mass as you burn fat even though it\'s not visually noticeable.  This will affect what you see on the scale depending on your progress.  If you are weight-training or doing any high-intensity workout, you will notice that your appetite increases over time (this happened to me as well) and you may find yourself hungry after a workout even if you\'ve eaten prior.  This is normal because your body needs to replenish itself accordingly during the recovery process after such workouts.  The key here is to eat foods that are as healthy as they can be with as little processing as possible.  Carbs and protein provide energy before and after intense workouts, but they have to be healthy carbs and protein.  Fats are also good, but they must be \"healthy\" fats (unsalted roasted peanuts, avocados, etc.) and _in_moderation_.  While the video covers this near the end, it does so poorly in my opinion in ways that can be easily refuted as mentioned above and some of the examples given leave a lot to be desired.  Then again, 5 minutes can\'t cover everything.\r\n\r\nUltimately, this is what has worked for me and it was an \"evolutionary\" process in my fitness journey.  Everyone\'s different and every strategy will be different, but the core mentality and process is pretty much the same.','2022-02-14 13:18:00'),

For example it common practice in European hospitals to run expensive equipment like MRI machines 24/7 to reduce the overall cost. \r\n\r\nIt is also possible to increase human utilization by concentrating skills in facilities dedicated to a given specialism. This is been done to great efficiency in India and there are facilities dedicated to, for example eye surgery, or heart treatments. This has proven to be extremely useful in attracting the best specialists from all over the world, because they are guaranteed to have a high throughput of patients in their dedicated field. This allows the facilities to train up many more specialists as there is a constant utilization of their skills.','2022-02-14 13:18:02'),

S. colleges use this means of numbering courses.  Generally, 100 refers to Freshman (first year) courses; 200 to Sophomore (second-year) level courses, up to 400 and above for advanced or graduate-level courses.   Generally, the more advanced the course, the more narrow and in-depth its focus.\r\n\r\n\"101\" is usually a basic intro course, \"102\" the  next intro course, and so on.  A first semester U. S. History course would be History 101 (say, colonization to Civil War); the following second semester course would be History 102 (say, Civil War to Present).  (As an aside, judging by what\'s happening domestically in my country, I have concluded that those courses are no longer taught, but that\'s another matter).   History 412, just to pick a random topic, might be an exhaustive dive into the Early Federal period (roughly 1790-1832).\r\n\r\nAgain, this is not a universal system, jut a very common, perhaps the most common system.\r\n\r\nI do not know the origins of this system.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a more detailed article from Cal State--Northridge:  https://catalog.csun.edu/policies/course-numbering-system/','2018-01-01 18:11:54'),

It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead on the CAD aspects. Thus it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but pretty sure is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer-animated movies.\r\n\r\nOpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like a 3D-compiler that reads in a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from this script file. This gives you (the designer) full control over the modelling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modelling process or make designs that are defined by configurable parameters.\r\n\r\nOpenSCAD provides two main modelling techniques: First there is constructive solid geometry (aka CSG) and second there is extrusion of 2D outlines. Autocad DXF files can be used as the data exchange format for such 2D outlines. In addition to 2D paths for extrusion it is also possible to read design parameters from DXF files. Besides DXF files OpenSCAD can read and create 3D models in the STL and OFF file formats.','2022-02-14 13:18:05'),

However, as I understand it, considering OpenSCAD an alternative to things like Fusion 360 and SolidWorks and others, is a bit tough. The open source world also has Blender, with which you can do 3D modeling too. But again, as I understand it, the way these options work is a lot different and they lack many of the features present in the commercial products.\r\n\r\nIt is worth mentioning that there are a few 3D modeling options out there that are not open source, but do work with Linux due to the fact that they are cloud/web based. OnShape.com comes to mind.\r\n\r\nSo, while there are alternatives, sort of, Fusion 360 seems to be becoming the software of choice in \"Maker\" circles.\r\n\r\nI am a beginner at this, so these are mostly just my perceptions. Eventually, I may be able to speak with more authority, or at least more experience.','2018-04-06 15:36:14'),

I found that it was really time consuming, and Terry F took over for a period of time until it fizzled out. \r\n\r\nThe main idea that I had was to get more OGG content out there, to help expand the awareness of the OGG format, due to restrictions of the MP3 format, and that many MP3 Players didn\'t support it.  - Today, most people are listening to content on computers or Android devices, most are able to listen to the ogg format, if they wish. \r\n\r\nIf my ol\' memory serves right, even Mark Shuttleworth has stopped worrying about the MP3 format being a real problem, even tho\' it\'s still a closed file format.

Of all the languages poised to serve as a global language, there could not be one more undeserving than an amalgamation of Germanic forced through a filter of Latin. It\'s inconsistent, confusing, over-complex, and yet also insufficient (see the FSF\'s struggle with the lack of an adjective form of \"free\" for an example).\r\n\r\nI really wish a sensible, constructed language would be adopted in English\'s place.\r\n\r\nAnyway, nice series, although your efforts are surely in vain, because English will never make sense.','2018-07-17 11:36:25'),

Possibly because I was a bad student at school in my teens, I have never properly understood the whole issue of grammar, parsing sentences, past participles and all of that. However, I have always had a fascination with words, their meanings and their origins, and I think it\'s English that has led to that interest.\r\n\r\nOther languages also have their problems. I learnt French at school (and did a few years as an adult too) and never got to grips with the genders of nouns. Why is a table (furniture) feminine for example? How is it possible to remember them all? I still enjoy attempting to speak French nevertheless.\r\n\r\nYou point to the deficiencies of English with regard to the meaning of \"free\". Absolutely. That\'s a shortcoming. However, many other languages have their own idiosyncrasies. I worked at a university with a campus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Bahasa Melayu, the local language, has a very different grammar compared to English. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_grammar for some aspects of it. I remember having conversations with Malay speakers, suggesting a English way of expressing a thing, to be told that that was pretty much impossible in their language. This led me to believe that English might be more subtle; though perhaps on the other hand it\'s more suitable for circumlocution, evasion and indirectness!\r\n\r\nAt school my French teacher was also an advocate of Esperanto. I wonder if that sort of language was what you had in mind instead of English? I don\'t know enough about its benefits to judge, but I wonder if a constructed language can really be as rich as a \"natural\" evolved language - even with all of its clutter and detritus.\r\n\r\nThanks for your comments - they really got me thinking.','2018-07-19 15:30:08'),

It\'s unwise to feed a \'while\' loop thorough a pipe because the \'while\' runs\r\nin a separate shell which can lead to problems\r\n\r\n2. Never use \'ls\' to get a list of files for consumption in a script. Unless\r\nyou can be completely sure that the \'ls\' you are using isn\'t adding suffixes\r\nlike \'@\' for links, and \'/\' for directories and isn\'t adding colour codes to\r\nthe names, don\'t do it. Much better to use \'find\'.\r\n\r\nMy test with this pipeline returned colour codes which \'ffmpeg\' didn\'t like,\r\nand it failed that way.\r\n\r\nfor i in *.mp3;do ffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\" 2&gt;&amp;1;done\r\n\r\nThis doesn\'t use \'ls\' it simply uses file expansion therefore no additional\r\nfilename garbage!\r\n\r\nDid I mention: don\'t use \'ls\' as a way of feeding filenames to a loop or\r\nwhatever?\r\n\r\nThe first example would have worked if you\'d written:\r\n\r\nwhile read i;do ffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\" 2&gt;&amp;1;done &lt; &lt;(find . -maxdepth 1 -name \"*.mp3\")\r\n\r\nThe \'-maxdepth 1\' option prevents \'find\' from going into sub-directories. The\r\n\'find\' is inside a process substitution which is redirected to the \'while\' so\r\nthe \'read\' inside it can obtain what is produced on its STDIN channel.\r\n\r\nAlso, if it had been me I\'d have written:\r\n\r\nffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\"\r\n\r\nas:\r\n\r\nffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i%mp3}wav\"\r\n\r\nto avoid the output files being called \'xxx.mp3.wav\'.

I always wonder how other people make similar things I like. \r\nAs it happens, I just made crepes yesterday. \r\nI have no idea why my Texas mom started making crepes, but I just remember having them at home as a kid. \r\nI don\'t know if what I do is technically called a crepe but it\'s very crepe like, or maybe more super thin pancake like. \r\nI\'m not much of a measurer. I typically start with 1 to 1.5 cups flour and add a couple table spoons to 1/4 cup of sugar depending on the day. I also add lots of cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon to a half table spoon. Again depending on the amount of flour, the sugar and cinnamon increases. \r\nThis is basically a dessert crepe.\r\nAfter whisking the dry together with a 1/8 teaspoon of salt or or less, I add 3/4 cup of milk. If the mix isn\'t watery enough, add more milk until pretty thin. Then add an egg and beat in completely. \r\nI have a gas stove, so I put the flame on to just above as low as it can go without going out. I let that heat a stainless pan for several minutes, while putting the other things together. More flame if you know what you\'re doing. You want the pan to be the right temp before putting in the first drizzle of batter. \r\nI like to use a cake decorating bottle to put the batter in the pan. Get the bottles at Ross, a discount store, or at the dreaded Wal-Mart. You could probably enlarge the opening on one of the $.99 ketchup/mustard squeeze bottles, but they are not clear like the decorating bottles. \r\n\r\nJust before putting the batter in the pan, swirl around then end of a stick of butter just enough to wet the pan. Start at the center of the pan with a splash of batter making an ever widening circle until you cover 2/3 of the pan. If the batter is thin enough it will spread itself. Otherwise you can pick up and jostle the pan to flatten more. I generally cook until the edges curl and the top starts looking less wet, then flip and cook the other side 10-20 seconds to firm up top side.','2018-10-09 07:02:21'),

There is lots wrong with capitalism. First thing is that capitalists believe their system is the only answer. The hangover after our last industrial revolution gave us shorter working days, safety rules and employee rights at work. Currently there is lots of demand out there for sabbaticals or people taking a break. so hell yeah, give me a robot who does my job so I can recover from stress, spend time with my children or travel, do volunteer work. Why do we doubt Basic income? currently those breaks are only available for the rich or singles or childless. Have you seen a happy cashier? Have you heard a mine worker  shouting: yes - let\'s continue ruining my lung instead of giving me proper training so I can work in a solar panel farm. and for the doctors! I have met so many who were an utter waste of my time. yes, give me the Watson system. I had to retrain in my job 3 times over the last 6 years. it has been hard. it doesn\'t have to be! As you say, Robots give us an opportunity to focus on the things that matter in life. We dont have to run anymore all the time. Robots guarantee a basic level of productivity. We can find better and creative solutions to provide proper pay for people who work in the care. We can focus on figuring out why our society still struggles with all kinds of abuse, why we do not trust anyone, why we feel the need to destroy our beautiful world. we have a universe to explore and the complex systems in our world. and if there is the odd person not willing to work, then that\'s okay too. People have reasons! Capitalists only know the word more. When will you read all the books that keep accumulating on your bookshelf because you shouted MORE.

I&rsquo;d rather hear from community members whom a significant portion of their income comes in the form of cryptocurrency, but maybe someone who makes extra money from a hobby or side project can contribute their tales of fortunes won and lost.  At this time, I&rsquo;m not asking for stories from miners or people who lost their stash do to alleged  malfeasance (i.e., Mt. Gox).\r\n\r\n1.  You said you were paid in cryptocurrency.  Is this in the form of you get the equivalent of X Euros (replace with relevant national currency) a week based on the current exchange rate or is it fixed at Y units of cryptocurrency?\r\n2. If the latter answer to #1, what happens if the bottom drops out of said cryptocurrency?  Are you under contract, stuck working for nothing?  I guess the corollary would be what happens when cryptocurrency goes so high the company can&rsquo;t afford to pay you?\r\n3. Has volatility in the cryptocurrency market effected your financial status.  In other words, have you ever made plans based on a sudden uptick in your cryptocurrency savings, only to have them dashed when the bubble burst?\r\n\r\nAlmost a year ago, my non-techie friends started asking me about Bitcoin.  By that time, Bitcoin was in it&rsquo;s first stages of it&rsquo;s upwards ramp.  I really hadn&rsquo;t been paying attention, but suddenly Bitcoin was all over the news as this magical money tree that no-one knew existed.  I warned my friends that I thought the bubble was speculator driven, and would burst as fast as it had inflated.','2018-11-06 08:20:19'),

If I\'m in a store with computers for sale, I usually reboot at least one PC to Linux just to keep tabs on what works out of the box these days.

I calmly explained that I was testing Linux, which I require for work, because I was considering a purchase. The salesperson did not stand down, so I calmly rebooted and later sent an email to the store manager telling them that Linux is a real OS that real people in the area use at work, so the sales team ought to be made aware of it.

PCs would originally boot off the floppy drive, which was always A, and for convenience, a second floppy drive was often added and it was always B. So the hard drives started with C. I don\'t think there\'s any technical reason A and B haven&rsquo;t been reclaimed, but when I read `A:` or `B:` in a path, I still think &ldquo;floppy disk&rdquo;.

However, I think that can lead to a subconscious over-specification of our requirements as a way of justifying the purchase.\r\n\r\nA few years ago I had selected a very nice Sony laptop that I convinced myself was exactly what I needed to support my work. Unfortunately an unforeseen breakdown of my car meant I had to spend roughly half of my budget to get it fixed and back on the road.\r\n\r\nI still needed a new laptop but the Sony was now out of the question. I revisited my requirements and realised that many of my \"must haves\" were really \"would like to haves\". If it took a minute or two longer to rip a DVD did it really matter? If it took an extra few seconds to open a very large image-laden document was that really the end of the world?\r\n\r\nBy adopting this approach I found I was able to purchase a Dell rather than a Sony with what was left of my budget and its few relative shortcomings were almost immediately forgotten.','2019-03-29 08:11:42'),

You said that you can\'t write documents or make presentation on Linux and that is a perfectly valid reason for __you__ to dump the linux desktop. But as a general rule, no, __we__ should not dump any desktop, be it macOS, Windows, Linux, or any of the exotic ones. As you said in this episode, it\'s all about choice.\r\n\r\nAlso, you mentioned OpenOffice in this episode. I really hope you meant LibreOffice. Because OpenOffice... well... need I say more ? By the way, LibreOffice runs on windows, mac, linux and android. Another great example of cross platform software.\r\n\r\nAnyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and even though I don\'t agree with all of them, I appreciated your point of view.\r\n','2019-05-18 07:42:42'),

I know many people who no longer would want a desktop or laptop.

Is the installer accessible, whcih means can a blind person like me, not visually impaired, BLIND, install it without sighted help.  Is there a hot key which starts the Orca GUI screen reader, or speakup if it is a text-based installer.\r\n\r\n2.

Moss mentions using some proprietary office suite that I\'m sure the majority of HPR listeners are not using.\r\n\r\nBut are these gentlemen even the best people to include accessibility in their reviews? I don\'t think either of them have a need of, or have any experience using accessibility tools. Would we even be able to trust their assessment given that their inability to use them could simply be down to not knowing which key to use to enable support. Would they even know to check that the speech synthesizer is legible when sped up ?\r\n\r\nI would suggest that would be better done by someone who \"will not accept any Linux distro which I cannot install alone.\"\r\n\r\nSo why don\'t you contact the lads and ask them if they would be interested in having you join the show to review a distro entirely from an accessibility point of view.\r\n\r\nIf they are not I\'m sure that there would be an audience here on HPR that would love to hear it.','2019-06-20 20:37:32'),

This seems to make sense given that its form is very similar. Pronouncing \"folder\" as \"fodder\", even in dialect, would be very confusing, for example.\r\n\r\n- The French equivalent is \"souder\", which sounds (to my ears) like \"sooday\".\r\n\r\n- I have seen it suggested that the USA pronunciation is derived from the French.\r\n\r\nLanguage is fun!

Assume, the original track contains tones in the 10 kHz range, these become 40kHz tones in the sped up version. When playing the quick version to record them on tape, the player has to correctly reproduce those high pitched tones and the recorder has to be able to bring those to tape. Depending on the frequency response of this chain, I expect this to be the bottle neck. When playing at quarter speed, the highest pitch you will get is only a fourth of the highest frequency the recorder could handle.\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nMichael','2019-09-29 15:03:43'),

I just tried it on busybox and two seems to work fine (though three does also).  The ++ form does not (as you note it would require bash) though I\'m familiar with that form, it just doesn\'t work within the constraints of busybox.','2020-03-05 08:00:11'),

So to say that I don\'t know what tools are available is perhaps a little unfair as I did state in the episode that I\'m limiting myself to busybox builtins.  Imposing that limitation on myself is perhaps a little silly, but, it is a fact that I would have to install _something_ to get the additional functionality you reference, and that may not always be possible or desirable in embedded applications.\r\n\r\nActually, I wrote the above so I\'ll leave it there, but I decided to double check.  I usually refer to https://busybox.net/BusyBox.html as a single page reference to the builtins and shuf isn\'t listed but /usr/bin/shuf is indeed a symlink to /bin/busybox on one of my Alpine devices, which is a little annoying.  When I work on a script like this one, I usually do it on my laptop that has all the full tools on it but I double check against the busybox page to make sure I\'m not using a command or an option to a command that busybox doesn\'t support.
