This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4129 for Thursday the 30th of May 2024.
|
|
Today's show is entitled, How I Found Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
It is hosted by Henrik Hemrin and is about four minutes long.
|
|
It carries a clean flag.
|
|
The summary is, another podcast led me to Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
Welcome to Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
My name is Henrik Hemrin and I am your host today.
|
|
My topic today is actually not about experience and knowledge sharing in any Hacker topic.
|
|
Instead I want to tell you about how I found this podcast Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
When you have listened to my story, feel free to write a comment on the website for
|
|
this episode about how you found HPR or record a show about it.
|
|
Anyway the reason I found HPR can be traced back to the 1990s when I first heard about
|
|
Linux and got interested in Linux.
|
|
But it was not until ten years ago that I actually started to try Linux for real.
|
|
A friend was enthusiastic about Linux.
|
|
Although he did not have a computer himself, he made CD copies of multiple Linux distributions
|
|
and gave them to me.
|
|
And this happened more than once.
|
|
At this time I was on Mac OS on Mac Mini.
|
|
But I also had a cheap laptop with Windows 10 for a few programs.
|
|
That laptop was too cheap with too little memory and soon, despite it was not old, it
|
|
could not manage to keep Windows updated.
|
|
It had too little memory even with additional software.
|
|
It had 32 GB hard drive and a 2 GB RAM.
|
|
So, this was my drive to install Linux for real.
|
|
I installed Linux Mint, XFCE, and the laptop was now usable again with an updated operating system.
|
|
My interest in Linux Mint led me to start listening to the Mint cost pod some years ago.
|
|
One of the hosts of Mint cost was also an HPR correspondent and in his presentation
|
|
of himself at every pod episode, he told he gave shows at HPR as well and shared his ID
|
|
number.
|
|
And every Mint cost pod episode also had a nolexments where Mint cost thanked HPR for letting them
|
|
use the HPR mumble server.
|
|
And at the end of each year, Mint cost has also sent the jingle for the HPR new year show
|
|
where everyone is welcome to live chat or just listening.
|
|
And I know I tune in and listen to the new year show.
|
|
Eventually, I have also listened to one or another show in earlier years.
|
|
However, when Mint cost this year, 2024, talked about Hacker Public Radio, they have mentioned
|
|
it was lower episodes and encouraged Mint cost less listeners to contribute.
|
|
And it was after this, I finally became a regular listener to the Hacker Public Radio and
|
|
at the same time recorded my first show.
|
|
I like HPR for its community-based host approach.
|
|
I like that shows mostly are given under the creative common attribution share like international
|
|
license.
|
|
I like the concept of knowledge and experience sharing.
|
|
I like that the content is what matters most, the equipment and presentation skills are
|
|
of less importance.
|
|
I like the monthly community shows with feedback and review of shows and comments.
|
|
I like the occasional comments to my shows and my possibility to comment on other shows
|
|
on the website.
|
|
That is how my journey with Hacker Public Radio started.
|
|
Thank you for listening, take care and goodbye.
