Episode: 4326 Title: HPR4326: HPR Community News for February 2025 Source: https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/ccdn.php?filename=/eps/hpr4326/hpr4326.mp3 Transcribed: 2025-10-25 23:06:49 --- This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4326 from Monday 3 March 2025. Today's show is entitled HBR Community News for February 2025. It is part of the series HBR Community News. It is hosted by HBR volunteers and is about 73 minutes long. It carries an explicit flag. The summary is, HBR volunteers talk about shows released and comments posted in February 2025. Hi everybody, my name is Tom Falon and you're listening to another episode of Hacker Public Radio. Today it is the HBR Community News for February 2025. Joining me this evening, live from the United States of America, is Scotty. And from the United States of Scotland, it's also joining It's Kaby. Okay, I want to be clear, there's going to be no mess in, there's going to be no chatting, there's going to be no yarns and no crack tonight. It's straight through business boom, HBR Community News. What is it? It's run down of what happened in the community last month. We do the thing and we're off out of here. We're not here for playful banter guys. Is that clear? If it has taken off my playful banter hat, I have one this series hat now. Excellent. Which one of you wants to welcome in the first, okay, let's do this again. This news is a HBR community podcast, sorry, I've been off sick all week, so I'm not feeling great. So, but it's important that you know what HBR is. It's a community podcast where the shows are released by people like you. In fact, 442 other people who have listened to the show have picked up a microphone and have sent us in a episode. It's easy enough to do. Your first show should simply be, hi, my name is and basically tell us about your tech journey and how you got to the point where you're recording a show for Hacker Public Radio. We will then listen to that show and at the end of the month we will comment about your show on this episode and then we will tell you other items that you could talk about and other shows that you could send in. So that is how it works. HBR is a community, meaning everything is voluntary. The whole thing is organized on a pure basis and we guys are some of the gentlemen who come in and discuss, provide some positive feedback on what has been released in the last month, but also bring you up to date and any news that has happened in the community that you should be aware of that is coming up. And as always, it is great to welcome new hosts. We have two of them and would you like to take the first one perhaps, I don't know. Is it Antonio? Yeah. Antonio? Yeah, because he's a French name, but he's not French, I think he's Brazilian or something like that. Correct, yes. And we also had Shane aka Stranded Output from the Linux Lands podcast, so great to have him on board. Excellent. Two, two very good hosts having them on board and I really enjoyed both of their shows. As I said, what we do is we tend to go the reason for the show in the first place was to make sure that everybody gets some feedback on their episodes. And the way one of the ways that you can contribute to Hacker Public Radio is by you yourself submitting a comment underneath the show. It's in every single feed on every single platform, provide feedback on the show. You just press that link, it's in the bottom of the show notes and you'll be redirected to a beautifully simple, highly efficient and flawless common system that will allow you to add a little comment into the show. If it gets too waffly, then even better press record and submit a show commenting on the show that you've just heard. It is the currency by which we pay our hosts is feedback. So let's mostly through some of the shows. We had started the month with HBAR Community News for January 2020-25 and there was one comment from Lee and his response was quip lash and in answer to some guy in the internet's question about ultra-wide monitors for gaming, I find that the extra width is mainly for peripheral vision so it is not necessary to physically turn one's head left to right. The effect probably works better for more curved displays. Now, what do you think of that, Scotty? Not a lot. Apparently not. From dead silence? What have I committed to that, but we seem to have lost Scotty. There we go. Sorry, I was sitting in the wrong button. I was looking at the monitor size and I didn't think about just using your peripherals to kind of glance at it because the monitor is so wide, you know, I just imagine you had to turn your head to see what was going on there, but thanks for answering the question, yeah? Yes, we're all very jealous of that monitor, it has to be said. But I couldn't be honed by a nice guy, we met him Lee while we were at on-camp, very, very nice chap. Yes, absolutely. And he's also been a very steady contributor recently, especially for THPR, been great to hear him. Yep. So, desperate for shows, we had some guy in the internet, he gave us a quick update about bash arrays, et cetera, et cetera, how it said works, and nobody saw fit to leave a comment, which is very, very disturbing. I think that is a good thing, I mean, every time I do a show and nobody asked to have me thrown out, that's a win. Yeah, we've done that sort of thing. Yeah, no, I actually keep them coming Scotty, I really thoroughly enjoyed the show. I must admit, I don't tend to comment purely because if I commented out, I've absolutely ziltured to see on this. So, that's the reason actually, I don't tend to comment, but no, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I met a comment who had paused into this that some guy that seems to be of the impression that he's not a 90 guy, and I just, to mind boggles when you produce a show at this level, you should really be working in 90 years, just somebody, somebody give them a job in 90, please, thank you. I second that, thank you. And then the next day, we had another host on the call, Kevin, what would just spend your £2,000 on? And this had me thinking, this is definitely a good inspiration for a show, it has to be said. And I did like the fact that you have HVR hosting in there, and that is something Josh, in the last month, it's covered in any other business anyway, but let's deal with it now. We're going to need to move our hosting from the current third party provider to somewhere else. Josh pays for all the hosting, and the mirrors do the media hosting, but for some reason, there's been a huge spike in the amount of data that's coming down from the HVR site itself, which is a bit weird because we're not certain of any media from there. We will identify what is causing that, but in the meantime, we will need to move the whole back office or the whole HVR server and all the other stuff associated with somewhere else. So that's a fun task that we have ahead of us. Hopefully it won't be as difficult as the last time because we've done it a few years ago, things have, we skipped a lot of versions in the meantime. So hopefully we're more up to date now. But it does make a point there in your show, Kevin, that you bought lots of nice, tasty stuff, which I couldn't agree or disagree with, but I have my own list, which I should probably do, and about donating to the internet archive and the HVR hosting. So there is a link there in the show notes for that. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I have to admit, actually, I don't have a spare to grant. This is what I would do if I did. So I didn't actually buy any of these, but yeah, this, I can't take any of the praise for this original. This was actually the last episode of Lunox Outlaws of last year. They did this, and I thought this is a fantastic show, and as you said, it's got you thinking as well. So I think this could maybe be a wee spin-off series. Very good. Let's do that, folks. Let's do that. Send in your show. What would you spend your two grand on? Yeah, I enjoyed the show, and I wanted to say I'm happy that you mentioned in the beginning that it doesn't have to be, because I think you said originally it started off as the euros, but you used pounds. So anyone in their own currency could just imagine it being 2,000 of their currency and going from there. The tech that you showed off as well was really nice. I love to look at these unique devices. Were these Kickstarter devices? The, the pellet was the Kickstarter device, but the other ones weren't known there. But actually ones you can get. All right, the Juno thing, right? I remember seeing the Juno one in the past, but I thought there were excellent devices. My eyes are a bit beyond to look at such a small screen now, but still super cool. Thank you for the show. Yeah, you're welcome, but the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the political is the only one that was Kickstarter. The other Juno. I've got you got Juno tab, Juno laptop, and I can highly recommend them. And fear phones always been one of those. I want one, but I just, I'm not willing to spend that much on a phone because a phone lasts me about six months. Okay. The following day we had trauma coaster, doing an interview with Yorick, the maintainer freecat during their pre-Fostem hackathon. And this was a bit of a win for us here on HBR getting this interview. So well done to Yorick, and it was a fantastic, fantastic discussion about freecat and makes you realize what all the, all the other stuff that's happening around Fostem, people users is an opportunity to bring people together and push projects forward and, and inject a little bit of life into them as well once a year. Absolutely. And personally, I think that a freecat is something that doesn't get enough coverage and really our big thanks to all who work on it because that's, that's actually a huge thing to be maintaining and developing. So yeah, I'm really pleased to actually get a wee bit of coverage for that as well as obviously Fostem. Yeah. I wanted to, I got to leave a comment on that one. I wanted to hear a bit, if he has the chance to speak with him again, a little bit more about the, he made a statement, Yorick made a statement about the code that they received from the project that had canceled were, was a inhouse code and that they needed to raise some money to, I guess, make it multi-dev worthy. And I wanted to hear a bit more about that. So if you're listening and you have a chance to, you know, reach out again, that would be a great, a great topic. Yeah, absolutely. So the following day we had a playing civilization, was it four, part six and I commented saying, I'm not a gamer, but I'm fascinated by the walk through these games. To show covers, research, wonders and great people. To me, it seems like probabilities from math disguised as a fun time smiley face. And Kevin O'Brien responded the next comment with, well, it is math really. The underlying programming is all math, everything is described by numbers, but then so is the universe. No, you ruined it for me. This is where we have to watch, because this is where we tend to get sidetracked. But yeah, I thought I really enjoyed it. Again, research is something that has become a big thing more recently in gaming, especially strategy games. But yeah, like I said, please, I hope I keep on coming. What they're just going to do it all the way up to civilization, is it seven that's it's been released? Yeah, I think seven is a new one. Yeah, I agree. I'd love a hooker shows. I like to binge here shows, like just doing one isn't enough for me. I like to get about like three or four of them to go. And on this last one, I had the tiny human with me in the car. Tiny human loved it the whole time. She's in the background going, oh, yes, yes, dad, we got to do mine. Yes, yes, yes, dad, we got to go do this. So she's just repeating everything and hooker saying it's wonderful. Excellent. The following day, we had another one from Lee, Laura one and the thing stack. And this was implementing a Laura one, which is like a long way, long range low bit rate sensor network to collect data. This was something that he did as part of a business hurricane, but then, you know, did something to monitor the inside house and stuff and has some lovely little graphs in there as well. Yeah, absolutely. It was great to see. I mean, a lot of it kind of did go for my head, but I actually thought I'd enjoyed the show. And good to see you actually there. Like you see the graphical output there produced one comment, which was from me as well. Great insight into Laura one. So great look at the real world implementation of Laura one left me wanting more about the topic. Then I see the show notes and the scripts themselves are a series of shows. So great stuff. Essentially, if you could go through the scripts as well and tell us what you're doing because those are also very interesting. Yeah, I agree with you. It's nice to have someone from the real world, someone that we know that's doing it because I have always heard about Laura, but I had never actually known anyone that actually used it. So thank you for providing your insight on the project. Fantastic. Then we had Harry Larry the following day with the indie archive and this couldn't come at a better time because it is a solution that I was looking at for a HBR. We have a lot of media and how people approach this and what they recommend doing. So the indie archive is there. I can't if you want to read your own or was this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I just did excellent show. Thank you so much for this excellent and informative episode. I'd never heard of the indie archive before and I found this show really interesting. As a podcaster, this would be something I would be very interested in. I'd really like to hear a follow-up show in the future about how you resolved the issues that you were having and also any tweaks that you made. And from Harry Larry, the indie archive, I'm planning a follow-up podcast with more details and I'll post the beta on Codeberg. I do a music radio show, something Blus and Musicology podcast, Blus. Yeah. I think it's from the archives or something blue. My something blue folder is almost 450 gigabytes and that's just the audio and images and text. No video. Whoa. Yeah. This is my test case for transferring large data sets to the indie archive. I'll be talking about that too. Thanks for your encouragement. Can somebody read the next show as my laptops just frozen? Why I next show was HPR 313, why I made a one episode podcast about a war story and this was by D.B.T. Anthony. Yeah. Actually, I enjoyed listening to this. It's only to be slightly disappointed when after giving us the introduction, he actually said this probably won't be in English. What? Sadly, that really does make me a wee bit sad because it actually be honest, I quite enjoyed it. I mean, to be honest, HPR kind of has started getting me into enjoying dramas, kind of audio dramas. I've never listened to before. So, this was a nice wee bit. So, yeah, hopefully he does actually change his mind and make an English version for us, non-German speaking listeners. The heavy enough topic though, I must say. Oh, totally. Yes. Yeah. D&T says, welcome, being from Brazil myself, which I didn't know. I have the privilege of listening to your piece in Portuguese. It truly is a well done piece of historical fiction. You have set a great example by having something to say, saying it and pointing it in the Internet archive. Congratulations. Thank you and welcome to HPR. Hyper-ISND there from D&T. Anthony with, thank you. Hi D&T. I want you to see your comment here. Thank you for listening and I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the welcome with kind words. And I have an apology to make, of course, was Portuguese. I'm thinking of another theme from the HPR episode of it, the German part. I was wondering about that part, I was like, whatever. My laptop is back, so we had honking the goo with, believe it or not, yes, check your diaries. It is the new year show coming out in February. What? My whole summer is ruined. Yeah. Yeah, I must admit, I enjoyed listening back, but I didn't, I have to confess, I did not finish listening to the one hour of 50 minutes of this. I did, actually, I ended up doing something mind normally boring, I think out of training or something to do, and I just had a lot of playing in the background, it was excellent. Were you involved in doing the show notes, Scotty? Yes, I already listened to most of them. So I used them and HP Lovecraft. And yeah, in honky as well, he joined in on it, he helped get it out sooner. It is, it's like just an amazing amount of work and having all the links and everything and you go, wasn't even on this episode and then you take all the links and you go, oh yeah, I remember that, so brilliant, great work to honky, great work to you guys for doing that. It really was actually quite entertaining, the kind of 20 minutes, I did listen to it, but it did actually make me think I really have to get the finger out and actually get onto this, for this coming new year, although that's a wee bit away. Yeah, the new year's shoot, the new year's eve shoot, yeah, right. They offer a lot of discovery for anyone that's new to the community, so if you are wondering about different technologies or even in the mental health space, lots of discovery there. Oh, totally, yeah. In fact, I think I, I can't remember also to assure that the next, the other one that came about where they speak about some people are speaking and then I think, can you say that it's like, you do realize this isn't an actual show, you can't claim this is your contributed show for the year. Absolutely not. I must say I was not a huge fan of the HPR new year show, but it is something unique and special, I guess, now, as a way or particularly because it's mostly the Linux low cast guys that do it, so feel shout outs to those guys. Shall we do Dave Morris? I remember that name seems familiar from somewhere, can't place it. Anyway, my fix tag script and Ken's difficulties with it, there have always been a few problems with the pearl script called fix tags, it needs a library called taglib and pearl module called audio taglib, which can be difficult to install successfully, and it's referring to one of the discussions that we had during this episode, a while at the issue has been resolved in the, in the way, in the Tocetite, what's that in English in the meantime. A while ago, I made a binary version of the script which Ken and Hunky use, but I discovered there was a problem with that as well. The two of the packages script includes all the pearl modules the script needs, but not the external libraries. This wasn't obvious to me at least at the time. The binary just looked for them on the system that it was being run on, but over time it became a problem as OS stuff was upgraded. I recently found a way to ensure that all external libraries were packaged with the modules and the script, and this solved the problem Ken and Hunky mentioned in the episode. Both have updated binary versions, but I have yet to update the GitHub version. I also plan to do a show about this very soon, Dave now also shows. And if free play with a second comment, Transcode Script Dependencies just wanted to give some feedback and offer a code contribution if necessary. In the beginning of the episode, Ken mentioned his Transcode Script was broken by updating some libraries on his Fedora machine. This is a great use case for a Docker image. If we containerize the whole tool chain need for Transcoding, we can ensure that dependencies are never updated regardless of what happens on the host machine. If you're not familiar with that process, I would love to help with that. Just let me know. We could create an image XHPR Transcode and kick off the Transcode using Docker run HPR Transcode, call on the latest. Anyway, love the conversation on this one. Thanks. Yeah. Might do that. Might do that. But I was also doing that for the Transcoding of the audio text to speech. And it's slow and chunky. Yeah. Turies out. Turies out and first get the script finished. It is still not 100% done a month later. Most of the stuff that I can post to the Internet Archive and to be honest, I'm in the background of this. I'm still posting the New Year Shows to the Internet Archive. But the Internet Archive has a really weird way of doing stuff. So we'll see. But thanks for the tip and I also know of another volunteer that I can call upon. Need you, operators? And from operator HPR, this episode perfectly embodies the spirit of HPR. The New Year show creates such a wonderful sense of community and I'm definitely making it a priority to attend this year's event. HPR has given me a true sense of belonging and I'm incredibly grateful for that. It's heartwarming to see people come together, sharing experiences and genuinely enjoying themselves. While the episode runs long, they are filled with authentic and meaningful content that makes every minute worthwhile. Heart, M, R, McRooty.com? Yeah. That's operator's website. Cool. And forward to that, actually, long time member of the HPR community got us out of a lot of scripts when they show when the queue went low. One of the people who were on my list, that's the good list, not the list you two guys are up. I digress. I digress. Well, yes. Okay. The following day. We have. How I got into the wonderful world of Hacry, I'm Shane and I host the Linux lab podcast. And this is my introduction to HPR. Great episode. And I was thinking, yeah, obviously from Ireland as well, obviously, while he was going through that, I was going through my own stuff. So, yeah, very interesting insight into his background, how I got into it. And also, if I'm not mistaken, he had three occasions where he promised an additional show in that episode. Not that I keep counting or anything. We all know I keep counting. So, just, sorry, go ahead over. I was just going to say, just for the episode, I actually really chuckled. I really chuckled when he was talking about him growing up and he kept on breaking his face computer. And he was just waiting for the wrath to come and he was like, yeah, they're back to become, but this after the opportunity, each time to get it redone. Yeah. That was great. Unfortunately, I didn't have that same response to my baby. No, it's funny that the computer stopped and working always was never met with Glee. Yeah. No surprise. Surprise. Trey says, welcome, hello, Shane and welcome to HPR. This was an awesome introduction. You mentioned working to ensure you have high quality audio and equipment and while remaining with the open source arena. I would love to learn more about your selection and process for shows. Even though HPR is very tolerant of a wide range of audio quality, I feel like it is time for me to make some upgrades. My first step is to learn more about what others are doing, looking forward to hearing more from you on HPR. Thank you, Trey for that. And comment two is by Solar Spider Peter Patterson, who I'm not sure, has he commented before? I'm not sure. So film older and impressed. Shane, great to hear your first show made. I must admit that I failed to hold when you mentioned that you started with Windows. I had the 80s with 8-bit and most of the 90s with Amiga before my first PC with Windows in 1997, age 30 by that point. You impressed me with your dedication to the log and to your shared podcast. Linux and Hacker Space continues to drag us into involvement. And from Steve Barnes, hi, I'm Mercy, I don't know if, yeah, Mercy, I guess, hi Shane. Thanks for the introduction. Thank you, Ram. Thanks, I think, Fred. Oh, okay. Thanks for the introductory ramble. It was nice to hear from a remote neighbor on a walk. And Torren Doyle says, bliss of discovering the new Linux for the first time. Hi Shane, a fellow Irishman here. I remember well, my first time discovering the new Linux. I started in 2008 with my first actual install on the hard disk drive. It was going to 710 and glorious no to DE. I later switched to Linux Mint and eventually settled on devian stable. When I hear the term stranded output, I picture a guy sitting in a computer terminal with green text on a black background and he's stranded on a remote planet. Happy computing, smiling face, that's a good, and also good that Shane mentioned struggling there with mental health, as I think we all do from time to time. The following day we had a trollocoster, a small interview with Orion on his experience as teaching kids to program in scratch. Another great interview around the whole foster as well, if I'm not mistaken, they were overdoing coding. But scratch, absolutely excellent way of getting kids involved in programming. The only time I ever got my kids doing any programming was with scratch. Yeah, I'm thankful for that because I was trying to think of a new way to get my tiny human involved in this. And I totally forgot about scratch. So this was like when, when right here? Yeah, they use that in the scratch and the schools here to start them on and then I think it's Python they move on to. So yeah, it's, they don't have shortage of enthusiastic children here at least. That's one good thing. I'm mind blowing what the kids can do with the scratch. It's like, is a very powerful little language there. Absolutely. It shows you as well what they can do and they actually put their mind to it. It's like, what do you mean you can't write your name, but you've written this program? Oh, let's talk to a teacher. And the following day, the episodes that I possibly asked you to record, and you did, recording an episode for H Pure and I think if we go back, we'll probably have a whole series of recording an episode for H Pure and every time, I think I even put that in the comments here and I'll retort it. And every time I learn something new and different from it, and I install both these apps, Kevin, that you're recommended in this great, great, you know, this is no excuse here. Look, you've got this phone and all these two in a way, which is, yeah, well, I remember you saying it to me and I was like, and then I made some restarts, is are you talking about, you know, which, which version, recording the physical show or talking, but coming up with the ideas and you're like, I don't know, so I went for recording. But the one thing I did think about, well, it was funny, I was trying on my mates computer to find something, I mean, Rick was something that's in the repositories for me and did simple, and I could not find a Windows alternative that was free or wasn't, there was one that we found that was just so, it was just almost like spyware, it was so bloated with ads, you're like, this rotten. So if anybody does know for one for Windows and Mac, indeed, do you have a, yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah, I thought the show was well done. I mean, right on topic, the whole way through, and if you didn't know and you made any excuses for not recording a show, this just erased them all. Yeah. Couldn't have bothered about it myself. Absolutely. Uh, shall I do the comment? Yep. Yep. Thank you. Uh, Rito says, previous shows on tips and apps for recording. Hi, Kathy. As usual, a well prepared show. I used for a while the app from Dolby, Dolby and the link to that. It's called Applied, as it applies some enhancements. Just for the sake of the overall picture of mobile device on PC, also listen to HBR36733 link, the show notes, recording using solo cast, which is 3496, while solo cast became my favorite, you can record paragraph by paragraph, take break for how long you want. And whenever you, uh, wherever you want after a paragraph, then when you're done, it will combine the recordings into segment, apply noise, filter, truncated silence and export a file as a flag. Please give it a try, dear listener. That's from Rito. So solo cast, excellent, um, made by, um, who is it again? Yes, our old friend, Norris and fellow, uh, janitor in the back end. Yeah, I haven't actually tried that. I will actually need to give it a, give it a wee look out. I typically, uh, I was trying that and I, um, only rarely I do shows based on where I do a script. Sometimes I do the madhawk, sometimes I do more just script, but I've been meaning it to give it a go, even modifications to allow my markdown, my version of markdown. So that's very good. Remember, we have the wizard wig now, and can yes, let's up with the dates on the HPR future feed in Intellipod, and this one came out of the, uh, reserve queue, uh, and it's by, um, D&T, and he's just talking about when I spotted that, it was going, why haven't you reported this, and of course, after listening to the episode, I realized that it was, uh, something that, uh, a tenifod does that, it doesn't show future episodes in order. Uh, he mentioned in the episode why that would happen and, and, uh, I can understand why they did that now that he says it because, um, if you had a podcast feed and you had, uh, you wanted your show to be always at the top of people's listening, uh, uh, so somebody downloads ten shows, and they only have time to listen to five, so they'll pick the top one. So if you put the dates way into the future, it'll be the top one. So that was what they were, uh, what their people were doing to, to kind of hack the feeds. Whereas in the case of HPR, the dates are actual real dates on which the show will be aired. So that's the thing. Yeah, I always found it interesting to learn how other people are listening to the shows. I'm using one of Ahuka's methods, which is very manual. So this was nice to hear to learn that there is another way. So in case I get fed up with this one, I can move on to another. I just have to be, sorry, go ahead, Kelly. No, I was just going to say, I, yeah, I use antenna pod, but I don't use future feed. I just going to do it day by day, uh, and I just like it purely because the, uh, I tend to listen to HPR from my commute to work. So it's the case of put it on the morning, hit stream. That's it. Yeah, very good. The future feed in just in case people don't know is when we release shows, uh, they're released immediately into the future feed. They disadvantage for you of that. The advantage, of course, is that you get to hear the shows way in advance. So if you want to binge shows, uh, uh, uh, the Ahuka shows, for example, uh, they're all tend to be uploaded at once and processed and released into the future feed. So you can have all the Ahuka goodness you want. The downside is if for some reason there's an issue with the show, be it audio, be it related to the content, be it whatever, then that show might be taken down and re-issued on another feed. So even though you tune into the HPR future feed, it's also an arm to tune into a regular feed. We do like people contributing to the HPR future feed so that we can keep an eye on, uh, audio quality and spammers and trolling, et cetera, et cetera. As we do, listen to the shows once they're aired, we rely on people giving us feedback, um, and we get that preferably before it hits the main feed. So one of the things that you can do to help HPR out is submit a show, as we say, comment on the episodes, as we say, but also if you just listen to the future feed and, you know, giving us like this, this episode is only commotion, the left earboard or the, the text is wrong or whatever, uh, that's always good to get it, uh, in the future feed before it hits the main feed because that's an order of magnitude more pain for us to resolve. Any other points on that? No, not true. I do have one. This brought up a point about, uh, other feeds as well. I got an email today from one of the hosts who was, uh, on another topic that, that had me, uh, going to the other platforms that release shows on HPR and what I've noticed is they only show the host as being hacker public radio and not being the host themselves of the particular episode. Uh, the assumption is that there are no rotating hosts. So therefore they don't bother displaying it. It might be of use to modify the feeds so that they include, uh, things like the host, the title, subtitle, all the information that is not displayed on the platforms. Uh, it might be a good idea to, to include that into the actual RSS feed now, uh, as part to the show notes because apparently mapping RSS is too hard for people. Okay. Let's move on. The only one has objections or thoughts on that to give us a shout. Uh, and also another thing that, uh, related to the show notes is because of the, with the big editor that we have now, uh, we can't really limit the amount of shows that they, they bandwidth are because the images come up as part of the, uh, upload. We can't set an open limit on us. So people are basically, um, compote in any length of show notes that they want within reason. And there is a limit, but yeah, that's fairly high. So that's one thing. The other thing is there is still a limit on the maximum amount that you can put into, uh, the RSS feed because it's, uh, it's basically limited like that. So the question is, do we, um, do we like truncate the feed after a paragraph and put in like this dot, dot, dot, dot for more information with a link? Uh, those are thoughts. If you have thoughts on any of this sort of stuff, uh, make a GitHub account or, uh, yeah, discuss us with us a matrix links at the bottom of the HBR feed, or a HBR page. I say do the easiest one that can be automated. Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking of the dot, dot, dot, one anyway, um, and I'm interested to know if they amount of bandwidth, like the turbines of bandwidth that we're pushing now through Amazon is as a result of, of people pulling down the large RSS feeds all the time. Um, you know, that's, if that's not going to be necessary or and or, if that's not going to be displayed on, on podcasts, catchers or platforms, then what's the point? So we have an open call for people to adopt a pod catcher. So if you've got pod catchers, please, uh, if you have a pod catcher and this is a very, uh, and what to help out, okay, start the sentence again in your mind, because I don't edit shows. If you go back and edit that whole section out in your head, that would be great. So and we take up after the cut. So, uh, if you want to help out HBR as well, you can also adopt a pod catcher and if you go to our GitHub site linked on a photo of the, uh, HBR site, HBR source code, um, we have a list of popular pod catchers and pod catcher platforms. And if you can suggest ways that we can, uh, update our feed to make the pod catching experience more useful and make it more obvious that HBR is a community rather than anything else. Uh, so there's that. Okay. Next day says he who said don't go on waffling AM round on the edge. Yes, this is a fiction book from Germany. And I think perhaps I can't be this is where your German thing was coming in. Yep. Yep. That's it. Exactly. Yeah. I had the same thing going, oh, I'm listening to the episode. I really want to read this book and then oh, it's only in German. So, so now I have to do our German and Dutch, uh, actually, I'll send you a message after the show. No, actually, I really was interested in hearing this because I was, it's only a four-minute episode. That's what I couldn't get over. And I was like, wow, I actually want to read this. This is brilliant. Uh, so what I actually did was, uh, I found it wasn't that difficult to get, uh, ebook version of this. And then I just put it through a translate tool and it translated the entire ebook for me. It translated the book into the literal, the savages live on the outskirts by close through off. And I've actually read through the introduction and I'm most the way through chapter one and it is readable, but it's not fantastic. It's, you know, it's typically translated, but I'll, I'll happily send you the translated version. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, no, no comments on that as yet. It's late in the month, so it turned to miss on comments. I was very happy with the piper, uh, read out of it. And it was so clean and clear. I knew I've listened to other shows that have been done with using piper, but, um, this one for some reason just really caught my ear. Yeah. It's the Scottish lady voice was that I think she said her name at the beginning, but I missed it. Uh, like it didn't come through as clear for me. So is that it in the show notes up there? I see that he has a GitHub for a piper, but that's not the voice, is it that he used? No, but I think it's the same one. No, it's not the same one we're using, but, uh, yeah, it's a, it's a nice voice. I, I found the same. It's what, yeah, you know, it's a text to speech, but it was, uh, it was a good voice. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, some, some are just so much more listenable than others. That was perfectly listenable. Some you kind of, it's almost like it's a robotic. I couldn't enjoy the, but that was good. Yeah. You would say that coming from Scotland. She said it very local. I feel like I knew her from down the pub. Yeah. Do I know your people? Do you have that? Can be as old. Oh, of course. Yes. Do I know your people? Do I know that? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, what's cool to do about it here? Yeah. Anyway, switching my master down the count. Uh, and this, uh, was from a hooker, uh, essentially switching his master on the count and, uh, how to do it. I listened to this show about four times, uh, and it came out during the summer, uh, and this is one of the future feeds. So I knew it was coming out. And HBOR had to bots and space was shutting down. So HBOR had to switch, uh, from bots and space to, uh, HBOR at infosec.exchange, infosec.exchange. And as part of that, I was terrified we were going to, it was going to, uh, how difficult it was going to be. And I listened to, uh, a hooker show a few times, read his article on, on it and basically did it. The amount of time it took me to do it was actually less than it took to listen to the episode. I was blown away if, if there ever was, and I said this before about HBOR, you know, how do you know all this episode, which is the most popular episode? And on HBOR, I feel, and this is my personal feeling, um, not that of everybody else on HBOR. The most important episode is the one that has an impact on people. And this one definitely had an impact on people. So heads up, uh, had a shout out to Kevin there for, uh, Kevin, Kevin for doing this. Thank you. Yes. I must have had, I can take no credit for this show. Although I do use Master on half 90s. Yes. Kevin Central times. No. Great show. Actually, great. And it's, and it's something to be honest, people, listening should maybe just do it, uh, uh, you know, just change instance now and again, because, you know, as he says, last thing you wanted is to become a world garden, you know, that's definitely what Master on should be. So it is maybe something that people should play. I must say, I was it, it did, it's a me, it is something that you should try and probably do it with some, you know, create an account somewhere, uh, and just had some friends subscribe and switch accounts just to test it out. And it will shock you at how easy it can be to move accounts because I was so dreading it based on my experience of trying to get my data out of a proprietary platform, but when the platform itself goes out of its way to make it easy for you to do it, it's amazing how simple it can be. It's like, why should I need to re-subscribe? You don't have to. They automatically transfer over and you sit there watching. This person has subscribed to 942 people have re-subscribe to your account while it just works. It works in the background. It's amazing. Yeah, just thinking about it, I might actually go on to start pulling down the information. So I think it was a wonderful tutorial and I'll just do that just to back mine up. I'm not planning on migrating to another server, but just, you know, he mentioned that it's just regular CSV files and everything. So I'll just pull them down and check everything out, great to know that I can. Yeah, it is. And seriously, you know, making a account somewhere, a thorough account and then just migrating to another thorough account, it was just so slick and you hear, you know, big, not slaggy off people, but people who have the re-sources to do it, making it so difficult to migrate their account out and you realize, yeah, okay, it's not a technical problem, it's a vendor luck issue. Totally. Yeah. The crocs of it is Linux, my friends, see what I did there. I like for it. Just smooth. Oh, yeah. Smooth as a chainsaw, yeah. Platoon. Sad to see that GNU World Order has shut down, but delighted to see that platoon will be submitting more shows here in H Pure. So what can I say about this? Nice episode about crocs, lettics and I really enjoyed the rundown and BS, you know, Parsons to BSD, et cetera. What did you think? Yeah, I thought I'd really enjoyed it. I'll tell you what it actually reminded me of was the first time I tried a bilgerone distro back in the late 90s. Yeah. You know, it reminded me of the gen 2 manual. Yeah. You're on your own, miss. Yeah, pretty much. It was actually quite interesting, you know, like I said, when he was going through all the different things, he says, we just take it for granted. Where's the ISO? Right? You know, it's got nice calamari installed over there, but no, no, no, no, no, that's not the way it was. You need your own kernel, you need to go into, you need to have set up jails, cool stuff, cool stuff. That's it, I'm glad I did all that stuff back in the day, but absolutely, yeah. On the other hand, I have, I'm using sunics or S now and you just put it in and the thing runs and you just go, okay, here's my desktop again. Yeah, having him go through the details as a person who's, who's not, uh, have done this manual process before, it sounds nightmarish. It also sounds kind of fun in a way like the building of the kernel, selecting all the, uh, elements, sounds fun, unless you need it done, right? So that's something I'd like to test out when I don't need to have it done. You know, he mentioned doing it on the spare laptop and everything. So, um, yeah, great show again, like as you mentioned, the new world order is shutting down. So he did give a, a pretty good warning, like, I think it was a few months back, he gave the heads up on it. So does he offer a download, like an archival download of the new world order? Yeah, it's still on the website and I think it's also on the engine or archive. If not, we can make sure it gets up there as well. Yeah, because I want to just pull down like a massive tarball and go over it again. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Uh, yes. I mean, one thing about, uh, if, if anybody is going to try something like, uh, you know, building up your own, uh, I don't want to offer too long here, but just one thing I would say is it takes a lot of work, make sure that you are running that the, the, the, the repose behind it, the updates are more based on Debian and not based on something like arch, because the last thing you can do is have a simplest and a works one day and breaks the next when you do all the arch people will be writing in them. Oh, yeah. No, no, I'm talking about people who are doing it for the first time. Well, I will, I will suggest if you're doing this, do it in a, uh, virtual machine on your desktop to start off with. And that way you can suspend it when you're, uh, when you're halfway through and pick it up and set, uh, break points. Okay. I screwed that over. Let's, let's go back to that point and, uh, possibly we could call up Shane and ask his, to bottle his penis computer. Yes. Hi. Hi, Mrs. Shade. What? Mrs. Output, stranded output. Mrs. Output. Well, you know, what else, um, containers are actually pretty fun. Well, then again, the containers are kind of slimmed down. So I'm not sure if it's going to have all of the packages in there that a regular distro would have, but being able to just lob a container in, you know, yeah. So lots, lots of avenues if you wanted to try it out, but thank you, Klausu, for all your contributions. Absolutely. Yeah. So the following day we had fighting smartphone addiction by Celeste and he was suggesting a, uh, Android app called time limit dot Android dot open and believe it or not, I was asked by somebody for this very app, they're described something like this. And I was able to go, what did you know that there was a HDR episode just this week about that very topic. So there you go, impact on the show right there. Yeah. And it was, I thought it was excellent. Uh, I hadn't heard of this particular app before, um, but, uh, yeah, definitely worth looking at. The sad thing is the ones who probably need it are the very ones who would never touch it. Did he even install it? Yeah. But I think he can, he mentioned that the thing you can also, this is for parents to put on the kid's phone and he can pin protected so that you can't undo it without a pin. Yeah. Yeah. You do. Someone want to read Anton's, uh, message. Nice. Am I experience areas? Very nice sharing. Celeste. Thank you. Recording was fine in quality. My self control needs to be self control, wait, my self control needs to be self controlling from the root. If I don't need a web browser on my smartphone and I know that having it will make me lose some time, I have no web browser on, on smartphone period. I'm not very good on moderation. More of yes or no, I have a, I have to decide on that ground of mine. In any, and everything, uh, had periods like this before in, uh, then enter, I'm coming up. Yes. Dave here and I with this. Intercalate and indulgence, allowing navigation, podcast app, etc. Recently, I've been a week without nothing on smartphone. DSMS and calls, eventually, WhatsApp, which is deep sleeping. Yeah, I guess that's another way to do it. It's not installed. You're not tempted. Yeah, my brain does not work when I'm thinking, what do you mean a smartphone without a browser? No, sorry, but you can't cope. Nope. Nope. So the following day, we had a response show to an episode from you, uh, some kind of internet. Uh, Scotty. Good smart and laws, the duty to rescue in the Netherlands can talk to a safety officer Johan about the laws covering for state in the Netherlands. Did you get to listen to it? You released this one a while back, didn't you? Uh, I put the comments of this into a show before, but that was my thinking, uh, what the rules were. But I thought when I was on the, I had to do a safety marital training in work once a refresher course. And I thought, Johan, uh, what's the guy to talk about it because he knows he deals with this. So we went through the thing, especially they, I don't think I covered their do enough resuscitation laws, um, before what you do and don't do. So that was that. Yeah. We spoke about it. And one of the community news is recently, yeah, so that, this is actually an interesting follow up to that. But I thought it was too good an opportunity to, to miss having, having him just to go through it again. Now, who, now who else is going to jump on the bandwagon and then, uh, provide a different perspective, you know, from possibly from it, because this is Netherlands, uh, perspective, I gave a, you, well, one slice of a part of the U S. So if someone else has a different perspective, well, then again, some people did leave comments, but we need to, we need to choose. It was, uh, Johan was, uh, we had a good conversation offline about the, the responses to your episode and he was going, but how? And then, uh, I, I was, uh, give the examples and, and read the, the comments about, you know, people being, uh, with the, with the health care bills as a result of calling the ambulance. Oh my god. But that's all free. Not everywhere. It isn't. Oh, okay. So yeah, it's good to get different perspectives. So yes, if you have a perspective from your neck of the woods, it's, it's good to know this stuff. Yeah, I don't know how easy this would be, but this would actually be quite interesting. The more shoes we get, if we get a few more to almost have a bit like a map with, uh, you know, click to hear the shoes, you know, kind of click on the country, dear, the shoes just be here because it would be quite interesting. I, I can tell it from a school's perspective, but as far as the UK laws go, I'm not actually 100% sure what the UK laws are. And what I can tell from my, my responsibility as a teacher, but I couldn't tell you through any holiday as to what the laws are. So yeah, let's get somebody's into the legal side and Britain. Do you need to do a refresher course of your own, Ken? Uh, yeah, we're, we don't actually need to, uh, it's, you know, it, but it is, uh, we, we don't actually, it's not a legal requirement for us, but there is a legal requirement that you have a certain percentage with a teacher, a pupil ratio that get reviewed, that they have to have it. And I think it's renewed every year. So that's how we, that, track down the person in HR who's, who does that and, uh, throw microphone in front of you. If you can, I will try either you or whoever's listening to this, but again, it's, this is how your series is start on HPR, you know, somebody puts in an episode out of the blue and, uh, people comment, so good. And it's possible even that the laws in the various different countries within the United Kingdom might, uh, might be different. I'd be interested in hearing from Australia for some, like, as an American, my imagination tells me, like, people get killed all the time in Australia because it's very, like, dangerous, spiders and all kinds of stuff. So I imagine, you know, they must have something like what you just have to help people. Yeah. Cool to know, calling out all the Australian people. Well, now that Klaatu's got some different ones, we can do one for New Zealand possibly. Exactly. So we put a time there. Exactly. So the following day, we had episodes two of the New Year show. And this was more episodes. Now, um, we also had a report, I think, uh, who is it that there was some parts, uh, truncated silence truncated some, but some people out. And then I was listening to the episode since, and it could be that there was a recording break, um, during, during that period. So if you've been listening to these, um, please get in touch with admin at HackerPublic Radio.org with, uh, if you were on the New Year show and your greetings were not included on the New Year show, please get in touch. And I might chop those sections out and releases as another show just to make sure that everybody, uh, everybody's greetings and well wishes for the New Year get out there. That is on my list, but it'll be better if more people, you know, if you know what I mean. Okay. I know the shut up now. Oh, I just realized something here, um, these, these don't get processed the same way because of the, uh, the whizzy wig editor. Yes, they don't. Did you mean it to be like this? Because I thought it would be like this. Now, what you're referring to is that the links are, uh, are in the show notes are in Markdown. Yeah. They give the markdown. It's, uh, expanded. I, yeah, it's no bother. I'll fix that. It's fine. I'll go back and fix it because I didn't know, uh, when the episodes come in, I thought, okay, maybe it's supposed to be Markdown, but then the links were actually HTML links. So I didn't know, did you want it looking like that? But if you don't want it looking like that, I can fix it. It's easy enough. No, no, no, no. I mean, it's already done. No need to go back and fix it because it's in the database and then we just regenerate it. And I do this. I'm going through a process in the background of gathering the ultimate source of truth for the, um, for all the episodes. So we've got now finally all the episodes down from the archive.org and we go through the different versions of stuff that we have and I'm thinking I'm actually going to resurrect the speaks feed as well and go back and make sure there's opus for everything, uh, flag for everything. We will not be doing a flag feed, um, uh, maybe we might, we'll see if there's call for it. Uh, but on the other hand, if you get a flag of an MP3, if somebody sends in the files in MP3, we convert it to flag. So you're downloading a gigabyte of media for something that was like 15 megabytes. So that was a point. Anyway, I'll leave that open and we can fix it later. The following day we had in Antoine with apt splunking, which was several, which is, uh, a way to, uh, it's, you basically go through your package manager. You look for cool stuff. So he had a flutal keyboard for Android, which is got word prediction speech integrity text and, you know, reader, uh, which got no hats and supports 150 feet, et cetera. Yeah, listen to this one today and, uh, I must admit, I'm, I'm interested. I'm always interested in finite new keyboards. Just, uh, I used to use Swift before Microsoft bought it and I loved it back then. It was uninstalled, rapidly when they got it, but I haven't found anything that's sadly as good as the default one on Android, which I'd really want to get away from. So I, uh, I'll maybe give this a try and that only just come out today. So obviously there are no, um, no comments as yet. Um, there was one comment on last month that we missed and this was from Lee, uh, the, Lee show, white screens, sinky bikes, et cetera, the one where he's showing off. Look at me. A huge, cool, white screen monitor and it was from, uh, relatable days. Uh, one of, one of spoons says relatable days saying it's a good audio diary. So that was that. That's all the comments for the month and then we will go to the mail list discussions. Let's see. And there was only one and that was from you, uh, announcing the community news. You're taking over more or less from Dave. How's that going smooth so far? We've been going over a little back and forth discussing, uh, features and things that nature, but everything is coming along smooth. I, I can't say that, um, though I'm having fun doing it, I still feel like we're losing someone. So it, it, I don't know how to properly, you know, yeah, you know, we all know Dave is a replaceable. Let's face it. Absolutely. So I, I, I plan to just bug him off and on even after we're done just, just, just, just be in a, one other thing that I want to mention real quick before I step away from it, talking with Dave is so fat. Just when I think I know a thing, Dave will just casually introduce an entire universe. Oh, he's so annoying. You know, so it's like, it, it has been a blast, the other way though. Dave is a genius, a one in a million, yes. But I'm glad he's stepping away because I'm missing his shows. So he can send in more shows about stuff that he actually likes doing because I've been doing the internet archive since he's, oh my god, how he had the patience to do that for 12 years. I do not know. Uh, dedication. There it is. Yeah, it is. It is. But, um, yeah. So that is, that's just pretty much that. Let's see what's been going on in the background on the, on the news, uh, something, uh, Scotty that we might want to do is, uh, have the change logs from get included in us at some point, some sort of report from over there, um, maybe stuff like the, all of this we can automate so that just, it comes into a page, uh, somewhere, um, you know, a little bit some bobs. If there's anything else you as a community want to hear about on this, uh, episode, then give us a shout. Um, other things that I've been doing in the background, yeah, gathering the, um, gathering the all the media into one place, um, so that we can have us on, um, having a source of truth turns out we need about 1.7 to two gigs of data is what we have at the moment. So I'm saying that for the, uh, content delivery in network, we need to have about four gigabytes of data, uh, storage available and the bandwidth isn't that much, um, but that's kind of where we're heading at. We're bringing online this week in another node in the US, um, and, uh, so I'm looking forward to get that up and running. Uh, we will be losing a US node, but that's okay. Um, we can, uh, still available for, uh, background office type work. Um, once everything's in one location here, I have all the, it will free up all the discs that I need to make the second Dutch, um, uh, my brother in law's place, I'll send a server over there. He's got a two gig fiber connection with all sorts. So we're quite good over there. Um, then what else? We have still to anybody who is experienced in, um, parsing Apache log files, uh, I would be interested to know where this missing two terabytes of data, uh, went to who is pulling it down and why and what we can do to lock that down, probably some AI scraping, but I still don't know how we managed to pull that amount of, of data, uh, yes, I emailed our sync.net to see if we could get an upgrade on, uh, we currently have one terabyte with them, uh, we need minimally two, uh, I'd like three for the nice, but, uh, they haven't got back to me as yet. But if you know people who, uh, do open source, um, stuff, uh, you know, uh, our programs for freely broken source, uh, projects like ourselves and can do hosting well and get in touch because, yeah, more of the merrier, I guess, but we will not take advertising. We will thank them at the end of the episodes and on the web page, but we're not going to take advertising. Thank you very much. Anything else, guys? No. No, don't think so. Do you think so? Probably miss a lot of stuff now, but we'll, we'll leave it, we'll leave it off. Um, did we have more comments, we'll have comments on back episodes that are we not doing on this month? Ah, good point. We need to do those. I was just thinking there's no way we did that. And I'm just, I didn't sleep through all that. Uh, so you mean the, okay, you take the first one then. Okay. So we've got one from an HPR 4106 and this comment is on my tribute to feeds by Henrik Hemren and this is by, uh, Semluz M. St. Louis. I listened, read your program and it has brought me a good insight about the use of feeds and a possible software to it, Thunderbird. In personal use, I have used web mail since forever, having tested options, but keeping in the web also as I only get some information from laws and judicial decisions in my country to stay updated after some considerations. I have decided to subscribe by mail instead of choosing software, but I admit feed has many advantages. In my case, it was mostly laziness, opting for newsletter instead of it. If sometime I come to get more personal mails, maybe I'll have to move newsletters to feed for organization or if something have no option of emailing. Thanks for the show. All good to you. Okay. Cool. It's nice to see that at least they have emails as an option that you don't need an app. My Henrik says in response to that message, oh no, it wasn't how I found Hacker Public Radio podcast by Henrik Emmeren. It was also by Semluz M. St. Louis. I think that's Antoine, if I'm not mistaken. Hi Henrik. Nice to find your show. A nice moment to share and for us to know the day you listened about and when you heard HPR, I also appreciate you having the full text for us. Sometimes I like a podcast this way just to read. Just a comment on your show that my liking your show here. Thank you. My unasked testimony is I don't remember when I met HPR as soon as I had desired to participate years ago. Not a reality on that occasion, but now I have done that so far. I've approved Mego on air and we'll wait, yes, and he's already proving to be a multiple contributors. So we're very happy to have Antoine here with us. Just as a by the by, all the HPR episodes have a transcription associated with them so you can read along and they also have an SRT file. So if you download that and put it into your media player of choice, the subtitles should appear. All right. Next we have on HPR 41 68 by a trickster, Beyond Economic Recovery, he says enjoying the show time later, I didn't know what to expect from the show as I'm not familiar with the works of the archivist now having listened to it. I learned until now I thought about downloading items games as per show without permission to be price, to be piracy and did not comprehend how archive.org had so much. As you said, it might not be legal in some cases, but it is also a matter of safe. Thanks for giving this perspective like your audio and voice quality. Thanks. Cool. One log had a show called Libra Office importing external data from 224 September. And Windigo says, and I agree with him, phenomenal tip. I had no idea you could import HTML tables into Libra Office Cuck. What a great way to make information on the web more readable and useful. Short and sweet. Thank you so much for this episode. By the way, I've used that loads since then. Thank you very much, Jim Log, for that. Excellent. That's good to hear. Right. And we also have got a comment on HPR 4269. What is on my podcast player 2024 Part 2 by Ahuka? The comment is by Ells Mossels, updates, Ahuka states at the time of recording that Mike Duncan's revolutions podcast has ended was on hiatus. It has restarted a new season on the Martian revolution as I wonder. He has stated that he'll be getting back to the 20th century when he's done with Marsh. Duncan's other new venture is the Duncan and Co history show co-hosted with Alex Poe and the link to Alice S. Feet is given there. Well, very good always nice to know when the show gets resurrected. There we got HPR 4302 by Lockhebo or or wait is yeah, by Lockheboi. Lockheboi. New campaign trail playthrough and we have Simlove St. Louis played it. What finding you give us what finding you give us to find I'm not an American. So the mechanicals I thought would fit to my reality. Anyone went there and there is a mod option to play. Are you ready? Paul the Apostle. I am a Bible reader so I went to it a very deep and interesting playthrough. I played on hard and couldn't win against the Barnabas and well in adventure and I appreciate. Oh, so it's not just limited to American elections, there are other plugins as well. Kind of cool. Yeah, I didn't know about that and actually when I was speaking to the Wii game, he was saying, oh yeah, he says there's quite a few different add-ons on mods you can do but he says he actually tried, he tried it after hearing this one and it was like, I can't remember it's like, you know, he played as Paul the Apostle and he went up against someone I don't know, like Jimmy Carter or whatever, he didn't get a single vote. Okay. Okay, I think that is all done unless you want to extend the show for some unknown reason. No, I've been biting my tongue the whole show, I'm not going to start talking now. Yeah, I'm not afraid. Um, yes, guys, thank you very much for attending and tuning in tomorrow for another exciting episode of Hacker. Public? Rio! Rio! Rio!
