Hello,

I've set: download-filename-format "%t.%u"
which works fine for all podcasts except for HPR, where the filename extension is php instead of mp3. Is there a method to have a special downliad-filename-format for HPR podcast ?

There are extra checks when you upload a comment on an episode outside the main feed, so in the future feed or episode going back 10 slots.

Thank you, Kevie, for the shoutout concerning CYD.

You sent me on a quest to find and listen to your podcast. It took me a bit to figure out how to spell TuxJam, but I finally got it and am listening.

Nicely done!!

I heard again about the 'silent key', and was reminded that an Electronics instructor of mine in a local college was a fan of the paddle key as a Ham radio operator. I'm left wondering and on a mission to find out if he is 'silent key' or still alive. This graduating class was 30 years ago (1995), and he also taught me to use the 8080 processor assembler, which the chip could only be re-written after erasure from exposure to a UV light.

Hi to all at HPR. I like the re-design of the HPR website.

Hey Daniel. I enjoy episodes like this that cover FLOSS/Linux/etc news stories. I hope it becomes a regular fixture. Thanks.

Thank you, Mirwi for sharing that explanation. I sometimes forget to explain items like this when I am recording.

If anyone wants to learn more about the term "Silent Key", please listen to episode 3922 which I recorded about it back in 2023 at https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr3922/index.html

Posted at 2025-11-25 17:19:26 relating to the show hpr4517 which was released on 2025-11-25 by Trey entitled Cheap Yellow Display Project Part 4: The hardware

Trey said "...which once belonged to a close friend of mine who is now silent key.", but missed to explain the term for those, to whom it might not be obvious.
"Silent key" is the amateur radio jargon for a deceased person.

Regards,
mirwi

I really enjoyed this dive into the UCSD P-System/Pascal. I have always wanted to know what it was like from someone who actually used it, and this episode delivered on that many times over. I hope WhiskeyJack does more episodes.

Even if you trust what people say on their sites about keeping it private, it still is putting your files into the public domain in some form or another. The site can be compromised, or can be ordered to disclose your information by the local authorities.

Even if that were the case that this did not occur, on a corporate network it's also very likely our out and inbound traffic is also been analyzed.

Using qrcp keeps it local, and that means transfer is as fast as it can be, but it also means it never goes out.

Posted at 2025-11-19 20:53:10 relating to the show hpr4397 which was released on 2025-06-10 by Klaatu entitled Transfer files from desktop to phone with qrcp

I remember having a lot of issues with qrcp on corporate networks where like it doesnt let you connect to other devices directly, i'd personally reccomend something like 0x0.st over qrcp for a lot of cases as long as you know how curl works

Thanks again for this episode and this Beer Garden series, fellas! Both of these I've had here in the USA, and they are pretty good. My eldest son likes the Schöfferhofer and I'm quite fond of the Edringer Dunkel. I only get the Dunkel every once in a while as it's not something I'd be drinking consistently. Just something to enjoy every now and then when I'm feeling a little dark. ;-)

Posted at 2025-11-18 19:04:43 relating to the show hpr4397 which was released on 2025-06-10 by Klaatu entitled Transfer files from desktop to phone with qrcp

I ran into two issues using it which `qrcp --help` allowed me to get around.

The first was which of the many network interfaces to bind to, `--bind 192.168.0.123`, and the next was to fix a port so I could open a firewall port and not have to change it for the next files `--port 43210`

Don't forget to then open a port on your firewall, `43210` in my example.

Posted at 2025-11-11 23:30:43 relating to the show hpr4503 which was released on 2025-11-05 by Whiskeyjack entitled One time passwords using oathtool

@candycanearter07 - Using oathtool OTP is no different from using a special smartphone OTP app. Both follow the Oath standard.

The reason that I started using oathtool was because Github and Pypi made OTPs mandatory. After putting it off as long as possible I was determined to find a solution that didn't involve giving either of them a phone number to send an SMS to or to install their OTP app. I thought there must be a way to do this with a free software application on my PC, and there was. It just took a bit of digging to figure it out.

Any website that uses an Oath standard OTP will have some sort of key that they need to give to you, typically by going to a web page where you generate one after logging in. It's not any more difficult than say changing your password and you only have to do this once for each site.

The main issue is as said, Github and Pypi at least did not document their Oath options, or at least they didn't when I started using it a while ago.

Anyone who wants to use oathtool for Github or Pypi though now knows what options are needed after having listened to this podcast episode.

This was a fun blast from the past for me! I remember working on several projects using LSI-11 UCSD Pascal systems in our computer science laboratory back at university. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

congrats on trying out linux! its way more fun over here :).

for the multiple browsers thing, i found using two different profiles and creating a seperate desktop link for each is useful?

Posted at 2025-11-10 13:30:48 relating to the show hpr4503 which was released on 2025-11-05 by Whiskeyjack entitled One time passwords using oathtool

I think it's really cool that you can generate OTP's locally, and I'm a bit annoyed that companies don't let you do this in the first place, but I think it would be a bit impractical for me to actually use daily, since you'd need to figure out the secret code for each website individually, as well as which sha version they're using.

Also, theres a pretty easy way to automatically copy the code to the clipboard, its something I use a lot in my own scripts:

printf $CODE | xclip -selection c

(using printf to remove the leading newline)

I thought this was good coverage of my current favorite style. I too, and constrained by what I can find in America, but sampled and loved both Erdinger and Franziskaner while living in Germany. They may be mass produced, but they are good. I look forward to reviews of new brews to explore.

I was surprised to see this show being referenced again after three years or so.

I had fun preparing this (since there's a bit of opinion in it _and_ a script - an ideal combination in my view). I'm glad if anyone is able to get some benefit from it :-)

The site is looking magnificent BTW ;-)

Thank you very much for your help, Archer72.
It works perfectly on LIbrewolf and I would guess on the other browsers in the family too.
