The blogpost where I describe how to set up a Wireguard VPN network:

\r\nThis show is a counter point to: hpr3649 :: Linux Inlaws S01E61: 20 years in review\r\n
\r\nThere are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics
\r\nIn today\'s show we discover that Hacker Public Radio is not a Podcast Hosting Platform.
\r\nEach day your show will be heard by as many people as can squeeze into the main auditorium at FOSDEM, or between two and three Airbus A380-800. You know the big double decker passenger plane. Every month we have on average 33,584 downloads, that\'s about 40 fully loaded Airbus A380-800.
\r\n
Podcast \"Hosting\" Sites, like Spotify, Apple Podcast or Google Podcasts, etc. do not host the media, they are essentially monetizing Hacker Public Radio content. And we are all absolutely fine with that because our shows are released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license.
\r\n![\"actual_hpr_downloads\"](\"eps/hpr3648/10-actual_hpr_downloads.png\")
Every one of those dots is a download that is not without cost, but is provided entirely free of charge to us by our kind hosting Provider AnHonestHost.com and the volunteer project the Internet Archive. Both of which donates terabytes of storage and data transfer to us for free.
\r\nThe people to thank are our own Josh Knapp over at AnHonestHost.com, who provides the Hacker Public Radio web site.
\r\nAnd the Internet Archive which is an American digital library with the stated mission of \"universal access to all knowledge\", who provide hosting for the media.

Yes, the platform that the Inlaws have been using since the very inception of this rapidly growing FLOSS podcast content. Wondering what the heck this episode is all about, why exactly Martin and Chris are talking about this now and the importance of statistics, lies and damned lies? Then just listen to this episode. You may also find out the difference between mere caching and content syndication. Never mind HPR\'s inner workings.
\nIn this episode, Martin and Chris shed more light on the riveting subject of non-profit\nand not-for-profit organisations especially in the US with a special focus on the all-\nimportant topic of tax implications. Warning: Due to the fast-paced and gripping never\nmind explicit nature of this topic, people with sleeping disabilities or who are easily startled\n/ offended by graphic content should consult a member of the medical profession to ensure\nthat they are capable of handling this episode. You have been warned.
