Red Line In Youtube Videos


What is this red line in Youtube videos?

Channel: Traveling Nepal
Have you ever noticed this red line at bottom of your video thumbnail?. It's been about a month that I'm noticing this red strip below the video thumbnails of my youtube channel . And this is noticeable because there is this thin red line in only few videos. So I searched for what was the issue. There was a huge discussion going on in Google Product Forum. But different people had different ideas and nobody were having a common opinion.

Why Red Line?

If you have noticed, after this red line, something has vanished from the video thumbnails. Do you know what is that? Earlier there used to be a already watched notation. And now this is replaced by the red line. So why is this red line? Youtube videos has this red line because those are the videos which you have already watched with same Youtube user account some time before.

In the picture below you see only some fraction of red line in video Zariya. This is because you watched this video to that timestamp and discontinued afterwards.

Mahabir Pun The Unsung IT Hero of NEPAL

Everything we wanna know about Mahabir Pun is available and well documented at Wikipedia. So you may be thinking why am I writing a blog about him here again? Well there are few reasons behind it. First is respect towards his contribution and second is again respect as a guru who followed his dreams and make it come true. Like him it's my dream and also dream of many of us to make our dream of a developed village, community and all together a developed country.

It was our third semester at Kathmandu University, where we got this opportunity to participate in Community Education Project. A team of 10 members headed to the various places of Dolkha district of Nepal. There we stayed for seven days providing training to the government officials of District Headquarter Office, Department of Forest. One day we went to the Gaurishankar Hospital with the application from University searching if we can provide any help regarding IT/ computer technology. There from the doctors we encountered a Workstation Setup with a huge monitor and a dedicated CPU. Doctor told us this device came here from Mahabir Pun's Project called Telemedicine.  We explored the workstation and explored how the telemedicine was set up. 

TELEMEDICINE is a concept of providing medical service in such areas where doctors cannot reach physically during the emergency. So with the help of technology i.e. Internet doctors make their virtual presence through video conference and assist online during a treatment. Local health assistants, or any other health personnel take advice from them and help the patient.

I've read about him during my high school as the man who provided access of internet to the people of Mountain regions. I always wanted to meet him and this quest is yet not fulfilled, although we have had timely conversations on phone.


And one day I saw this video recommended in youtube. I watched it and again I was mind blown with his new project of initiating Research and Development Centre at Nepal "National Innovation Centre". He was already an inspirational character for me. And here again he owns a huge respect. 
Theme of this R&D centre is development of country through investment in every aspects of infrastructure of development. Just the concept is that this Organization acts as a supporting cnetre which does research, analysis and also development for the country. He has estimated an approximate 2.5Million USD budget program for the organization. He proposes development of a micro hydropower which will cover most of the expenditure. On top of that he donated all his lands for the project. 
There is a reason for calling him an unsung hero. Since the time of this project initiation four government came and went from the parliament. All government leaders just listened to him, gave consolation and fake promise that they will help but nothing is done yet. If such project is accomplished then it would take no time for a country to swift to the edge of development.
I'm happy that I am also on the same track of contributing the community. With Help Nepal Network's E-Library Project many volunteers from Kathmandu University have contributed to the community and will be helping in anyways I can to his project. 

I request everyone online to take a look at what he has to say. Every information regarding his project and him is transparent. He is a down to earth, humble and genuine person. Let us together be a part of his campaign.

[SEO] How to Add Google SiteMap in Blogger?

We will show you to generate a complete sitemap of your website whichever be its domain name (domain.blogspot.com or domain.com)

What are Sitemaps?Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. Sitemap 0.90 is offered under the terms of the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons License and has wide adoption, including support from Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft.


Note: Above definition was adapted from the Sitemaps.org

How to Begin?
Problem with blog hosting with blogger is that unlike other hosting (Wordpress, Jumla, Drupal), you cannot upload any custom files to the blogger. All you can do is just select new post and write text in there and post the blog. Also the problem with sitemaps in blogger is that google adds only twenty six most recent blog posts in its sitemaps. So all the posts before these 26 may never be crawled as well as indexed by Google.

How to Generate A Complete Sitemap?



  • You can find many free sitemap generators, select one of them. I use the sitemap generator developed by Famous Blogger Amit Agrawal
  • Open Sitemap Generator and enter your site name.
  • Now Click Generate Sitemap
  • Copy all the texts you get as generated sitemap.
  • Now under your blogger dashboard, goto settings -> Search Preferences -> Enable Custom robot.txt option.
  • Paste your generated sitemap. Now from next time the google search engine crawlers will index your pages.

NOTE: This article is based upon Amit Agrawal's article about creating sitemap for blogger

How to alias bash scripts and execute from terminal?

You wrote a bash script and now you have to run it, but you don't know how.  Well this is an easy task. We can do this with just few terminal commands.
  • First you need to make the file as an executable. Use chmod to do so. chmod changes the file mode bits of each fiven file according to the mode , which can be either symbolic or numbr.
    In your terminal type:  chmod +x filename.sh
  • Now add an alias in the .bashrc file
    gedit .bashrc
     at the last line of file type this:
    alias filename ='filename.sh'
  • Save and close the file 
  • Type source ~/.bashrc  to apply the changes you made to this file
  • Now open terminal and just type the alias you provided to your application. Now you need not create the directory path and execute again and again to run a specific file. Just use the alias.

Open Street Mapping with MAPS.ME

"Like wallet, your smart phone is also nowadays part of your journey." 
I travel a lot within my country during holidays.  It was my last trek to Namche Bazar where my Friend Ramesh Tiwari suggested me to try MAPS.ME. After that day, I've only one map application installed on my phone i.e. MAPS.ME. This map is so precise that when we were on our trek it would navigate us and show every house and routes.
https://www.openstreetmap.orgMy friend had downloaded the map of Nepal offline, so we were able to browse the map ofline. This application is so awesome also because it is an open source project. Unlike Google and Bing it doesn't claim it's proprietary ownership to the maps which we contribute. Following reasons made me to contribute to OSM:
  • It's OpenSource. So the main advantage will be that all those researchers and developers who need information about my place can get all the information and data for free from this map or the Open Street Mapwebsite
  • Nepal is a country with huge scope in tourism. Many tourists come to visit our country, so it's our duty to at least provide information about places like, treking routes, hospitals, busstands, homestays and restaurants, parks forests mountains etc.  This open initiative can also imprint a good impression of a country whole over the world.
  • Being offline, also you can get directions, bookmark your places and also the 3D view feature is interesting.  

I wanted to show this contribution panel of MAPS.ME. After last trek to Namche in March, I have added 188 new places to the open street maps. Not only that I sometimes keep the GPS traces of my route which I upload to the website so that other can see it.  At the end of the year 2016 MAPS.ME was successful to map more than a million of object which was all contributed by volunteers like us. Picture below shows the number of schools, bus stop and more categories that we were able to map.Open Street Mapping is interesting, so I would like to invite every travelers to install the app and take benefit of it as well as contribute whenever they explore new places or new tracks during their journey.

To know more about MAPS.ME watch this video below:



How to Browse Internet in Laptop using Smart Phone?

I came up with this idea about using mobile phone's data to explore internet on my laptop. So I explored settings of my laptop and mobile phone and came up with two suitable solutions. Many people are already taking advantage of this feature provided in most of the Android phone(also on Iphone and Windows Phone). But in case you haven't given it a try, let me show you these three ways:

Tathering

Tathering means using a smartphone in order to connect your laptop or any other device to browse internet. Tathering your smartphone lets all the connected devices to browse internet according to the bandwidth provided by your Mobile Network Providers. There are two ways you can tather they are 
  • USB Tathering

    In order to do USB Tathering it is necessary to connect your device to Smartphone with a USB cable. On your Mobile Phone's Setting 
    GOTO: Connections > More Networks > Tathering and Portable Hotspots > Select USB Tathering
    Note: Prior to these settings enable your mobile data to enable internet access.
    Enable wifin in your Laptop and suddenly after you enable USB Tathering, your device is connected to a network which is actually you mobile network. Now you can browse you internet.
  • Bluetooth Tathering
    Bluetooth tathering is also similar to the USB Tathering, Instead of selecting USB Tathering select Bluetooth tathering and you will have to enable your laptop's bluetooth to use the tathering

Portable Hotspot
Portable HotspotIn order to enable portable hotspoot in the same menu  Tathering and Portable Hotspots, Enable the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot option. Normally when you configure your hotspot a wifi appears with its SSID ADYY..... Portable hotspot is better than rest of the alternatives because you can provide a security measure to the hotspot with WPA2PSK Security Protocol. You can connect upto 10 devices with a single hotspot.

Why Should Artificial Intelligence Enthusiasts Watch Westworld?

It's all over the internet among the list of Trending. It's trending on QuoraRedditMedium and also on 4chan. It has got 9.2/10  IMDB rating. Any social networking site, or Q&A Channel, it's every where. So what is so special about it that it's rated 9.2 in its first season?


WestworldA series inspired by the 1973 film of the same title written by Michael Crichton about a futuristic theme park populated by artificial beings.-(IMDB). Well the movie is very fascinating and you will appreciate the way Crichton presents his artificial park.


The series indeed itself is a miraculous presentation to the viewers because the series is long with different stories within. Every characters are simple and are giving their best performance. As a viewer I got this awesome experience of feeling the dream of artificial 
intelligence come true. 

One evening while I was switching TV I saw this part of the series on HBO " The keyboard was playing on its own, the music of keyboard was unique, I've never heard such music before. And within a minute of two a girl(Delores) who was somewhere around this cowboy street(The Westworld) , suddenly finds herself inside a room of transparent glass walls everywhere. This guy named Bernard says "Analysis" and at a certain she becomes statue and starts telling truth" I was feeling like " What the hell was that. What did I just watched? So freaking awesome. What is it? A Magician's show or some kind of super natural power ?" I waited till the first break or the name of the series was written on top right of the screen. I Noted down its name on my phone and turned on my laptop. I Searched the movie on torrentz and find out it was the second episode of Season One. With a big sigh I downloaded both of them and started watching it.
It was totally worth it. It also freaked me out because I discuss so many times with so many people about Artificial General Intelligence.  Before moving further I will point out: 

Why Artificial Intelligence Enthusiasts should watch Westworld?
  • Artificial Machines passes Turing Test during the first year of its development
    Well to know this particular point from it's creator "FORD" you need to watch 7 episodes. But logically saying, the proposal of Turing Machine " Being unable to distinguish between a man and a machine" I had no idea that all the characters Delores, the whole people inside the bar, those cowboys, horse etc. were all artificial machines, which are controlled by some bunch of people. Every machines also called as agents are self aware, response immediately towards any change or inquiry, speak fluently with feelings, humorous, cry, fall in love care for their loved ones etc. I saw nothing different before I knew they were controlled by humans.
     
  • Everything you Dreamed about AI & AGI it is here.
    The technological advancement through the implication of Artificial Intelligence which we dream about are all here working on its optimum level. Machine Learning, Optical Character recognition, Sentiment Analysis, Machine Vision, Robotics, Augmented Reality, etc. You name a technology if it was used here and you see it's being used in some episode.
    A Human looking robot talks to another human looking robot on a day to day basis and both of them talk, interact so efficiently and fluently that an actual human in that environment also cannot distinguish them as machine or human.
  • Westworld can inspire AI Geeks for new sets of tests and hypothesis
    What we do today to practice Tests in Artificial Intelligence projects is fetch data to the machine and retrain them for numerous hours, then finally we get high efficiency. But here the robots are interacted with real environment. Neither the machines are aware that they are machines not the humans know their exists machines among them. They are doing their day to day stuffs and what the observer/ or their developers are doing is analyzing their emotions, researching why are they acting differently. Many weird things are achieved in this series which are still in the concept papers of AI Researchers.
  • It's entertaining to watch how agents are drifted towards the anomaly and repeatedly get nowhere nearer towards the maze
    Turing test for this series if unveiling the maze. A maze s developed by Arnold and Ford, if the agents will be able to locate the maze and the secret behind it then Agents will be set free. The mystery box "Maze" is yet to be unveiled but this one test is never passed by any of the agent. So the journey to be nearer to the maze seems challenging and every character use their intelligence to reach nearer to the maze.

    Delores, Bernard, Arnold, Hector, The Maze, Ford, First Generation Agents, Maeve, etc. 
    These are some among few characters whose stories are mysterious and worth it to watch the whole season. 

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

My understanding about Anonymous was a term quoted for group of  dirty hackers punks who do Black Hat Hacking, steal digital property of an individual, group and organizations and using it for vulnerable causes and make people suffer
. I thought it was always nasty job that they doing and the people. 

Then I watched this video "Anonymous Message to Donald Trupm" and found the message very bold, truthful, supportive on behalf of citizens. It was A  direct message to the President Elect of The United States. The message was like this in their description:

So what are you going to really do for the American people DONALD TRUMP? Because right now, you should see yourself as the apprentice and learn from the mistakes of those before you. Will you protect the American people, protect their food, protect their security, their health, education, their human rights, their privacy, or are you just going to be like many others who could have made a great name for themselves. Remember, your actions will show the people who you truly are deep down, and Anonymous will be only to eager to keep on the watch and expose anything we feel the people should be aware of.

But after watching this video, somehow I thought " Oh no! I was wrong, this group is warning the POTUS to take responsibility of citizen and help them with food, shelter and job". 
Then I started checking all the videos uploaded by Anonymous Official.There were many videos which strictly warned the politicians, businessmen and hypocrites not to seize our freedom of speaking, freedom of press and all human rights. Anonymous not only have supported or say have spoken on behalf of some internet anonymous cyber monks but for the whole world.
Wow this was fascinating. They called Anonymous was not a organized group but Anonymous is a culture. And their tagline is so bold that anybody on a first glimpse will support, like an dare also afraid of: 
We are Anonymous,
We are Legion,
We do not forgive,
We do not forget,
Expect us.

Definitely now I already like this Culture of Speakers of Freedom. I spent a very long time reading internet articles on who they are, how they are Anonymous etc on Wikipedia,  Reddit, answers on Quora etc and find out that Anonymous is a very very interesting path, culture, voice or an attitude (whatever you wanna use) that every citizens should adapt. So wanted to know what it was and if I also could be a part of it. This is what I find out:

Anonymous [1]

It's is a loosely associated international network of activist and hacktivist entities with a very loose and decentralized command structure that operates on the ideas rather than the directives.Anonymous are everywhere over the world. They are students, clerks, business man or unemployed, neighbors, your hair dressers, and your network administrators. Anonymous are smart people with smart clothes. Anons have no gender, no religion, nth to discriminate, or anything to preach. Anonymous like to wear  Guy Fawkes mask [2] during demonstrations. This saves their true identity and are safe for being tracked by  the government. With a smart suit and a mask when hundreds of activists and hacktivists join the protests this looks awesome.  Anonymous was originates(not established) in 2003 on a text and image sharing board 4chan. They act anonymously in a coordinated manner with small self-agreed goal mostly focusing on entertainment.

Joining Anonymous [3]

It is not an organization or a committee you can be a member of, but a culture which you can follow or adapt being openhearted. This is what the Official video of  Anonymous  tells us about. Check the footnotes to know about being Anonymous.

The achievement and hurdles faced by Anonymous are many and the works done by these groups are way beyond a common man's understanding. But they have always been speaking for the cause of Freedom, on which every global citizen should support. Being a hacktivist is very tough move to make. We may not have enough knowledge about hacking but we can atleast follow ways to be secure so that nobody can steal our rights, data and privacy from us.


We are Anonymous, We are Legion, We do not forgive, We do not forget,
Expect us!

[3] How To Join Anonymous


How to Join Anonymous?

You cannot join Anonymous [1]

Anonymous is not an organization, club or a movement, there are no manifest of charters or membership fees.  For a short period of time Anons have common goal, purpose or dislike. So they simply communicate through their alias names in any secure medium possible(whether it be IRC, encrypted mails, etc.). If they find threat or vulnerability they disappear like ghost and find another medium for communicating. They never stick together as a family, but whenever any laws tries to move their claws in their freedom, Anons are united and take the hell out of the sinner.
Neither you can join nor you can quit. Nobody can say you are in or you are out. 

If you wanna know how to contact other anonymous yet again that is also not possible. Because Anonymous does not have a centralized database for Communication.

How to be save your Digital Identity? 

But you need to follow some smart and safe measures to be Anonymous. You need to protect your identity in the internet, otherwise you are always being watched by the known as well as unknowns.
Following are few ways to  use during a anonymous browsing:
  • Choose an Alias
    Choose an alias which is unique and which is not related to you at all. Make sure that it is noway traceable backwards  to your identity. Don't keep this alias related with your important events or your best persons name or any dates important to you in your life time. Make it different.
  • Join an email account with your alias.
    With this alias name you thought of, create an email from any email provider. You can find free email providers which won't give your encrypted message sending facilities. Or there are also some of the free email providers which provide you secure email services.
  • Join Social Networking site with a Guy Fawkes Mask
    This is one way that separates you in the social networking sites as anonymous. As all of us communicate in social networking site as anonymous with our alias, you are welcome too.
  • Use Secure Browsers
    Incognito mode which you use in any browser  and think safe is also not private as your ISPs can trace your HTTP request and henceforth your IP. So we highly recommend you to use Browsers that provide Anonymity Online. Tor Browser  is one of such promising  browser which is open source project and can be configured as per your knowledge . 
  • User Secure Search Engines
    Search engines like Google, Bing stores information about your hardware and your IP in cookies which is a vulnerable approach of searching. Also these browsers set a search tag cloud for you based upon which they run their ad providing business. Also they know many information about us, what we search what place we choose for holidays, what foods we like, etc. Therefore we highly recommend you to use duckduckgo. This browser doesn't sae any information about you and your searches. 
Few things to be sure about:
Do not forget to clear your history, cookies while you set up these for the first time and every other time you begin to browse anonymously or end from a anonymous conversation. There are also more tools like Telegram, IRCs, Gitter, protonmail etc. which can promise your identity and privacy sage.
