LOL, didn't know I'd be the one signing off everyone for the NYE show. Sure was fun and I look forward to the next one! :-D

Thanks for this Community News episode! It is an honor to be part of this community, as listener and sometimes as contributor.

Hi Trixter,

Great talk, thank you.

While I may never face such a situation, I would appreciate to get a link to one or more of such Panel-Shows to listen to it.

Cheers

We're willing to find out but you also need to help us.

Please see the issue https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr-tools/issues/12

All we need is someone with a sonos setup to run some tests. If noone volunteers, then it won't get fixed.

Why do most of your podcasts not play back on Sonos speakers

Hi,

I noticed that one of your topics is ham radio.
My call sign is KD9VMW (kilo-delta-niner-victor-mike-whiskey)

I haven't had a chance to transmit, but would like to hear about your experiences in the field, and how you did on the licensing test.

I enjoyed your introduction, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

Good show Elsbeth, nice to hear a different perspective on journeys into tech, look forward to more shows in your subjects of interest.

I agree with your comments about distros. I think the most important thing is to pick a distro and stick with it. Get good at understanding how it's built and maintained, and ideally start to engage with the community behind it. When a problem arises, you can then fix it, and perhaps upstream the solution. I will never push my choice of distro on others, but if they are interested I will share and support their efforts to use it. (It's not arch, BTW!!! ;))

Hi Elspeth,

Thanks for the great show, and welcome to HPR! I look forward to some interesting shows in the future - it sounds like you have many things to share.

Congratulations on your first show.

We have something in common, as I also collect Raspberry Pi's, at least one from generation 1 to 5. :)

Welcome Elsbeth!

Thank you for sharing your introduction, and how you got where you are. It is sad that so many cyber jobs require a 4 year degree, when there are extremely skilled self-taught people ready and willing to be part of the solutions.

It is great to have you on HPR.

Hello, and welcome to our community.

For your interest in books, may I recommend the audio book club episodes.

Google cybersecurity certification sounds interesting. Even though I personally don't have experience in this field, there are people here that do, like operat0r.

Congratulations on your first show, and thank you for giving me credit for getting you to take the first step. I think you have many topics of interest to the HPR listeners. I would certainly like to hear more about your guix experiences, and org-d20. You home automation journey would also provide a rich seam of topics of great interest.

I look forward to your next show!

Hi, Sgoti! I thank you for coming, listening, and bringing your gentle and useful feedback!
Hug!

I still use AutoHotKey on windows 10, mostly for gaming and a few auto complete commands when web browsing. I'm not sure if I can still benefit from this tech, years later in my Linux journey, but I'll have a look at it for sure.
Thank you for the show, Sgoti.

I paused the episode to quickly run a backup of my data. Make certain you label that compact disc then store it in a sleeve; sounds like you may need it again. Thank you for the show.

I agree with Andrew regarding the sound transitions (mostly the first few sound transitions). Thank you for the show and I enjoy knowing the information provided is based on someones personal experiences. Reminds me of the good old days when one could request information from a person, a real human being, without creating an account and submitting a payment method first. Cheers, Sgoti.

Thank you for sharing your experience. TBH we are so guilty of doing things quickly, especially when they are tasks that we are quite familiar with. I'm so glad that you didn't corrupt the hard drive. Excellent pointers for anybody wishing to edit partitions.

The one thing that I always do is put the swap and boot partitions etc at the start of the drive and then have my root followed by the home. This means that if I need to resize then it doesn't need to move the partitions, this has been where I've had the majority of issues in the past.

It shows how much distros have changed over the years, Brasero used to be included with them all but nowadays the majority of computers come without optical drives.

Thanks for your first show.

There are a few show topics that would be of interest.
1. Elder Scrolls - basic idea of how to play (I am not a gamer)
2. More detail on org-d20
3. EXWM

Hello Antoine,

I was listening to the Community Show hpr4351, and Ken was right.
This would make a great show, or series of shows.

Audio setups are *definitely* of interest to hackers :)

One issue I have come across--probably do to the graying of my memory along with the graying of my beard--I have been using the keyfob to open the Yamiry lock for the last month and the other day I tried to use my pin code and apparently can't correctly remember it.
:)

Thank you for this review; I'm in a similar situation with some of my "roommates", and this might be a good compromise.

I will never understand people who complain about locked doors and physical keys!

Hi, Andrew! I thank you for the tip, I'll take it it account for any other future show! =) Hope you liked it.
Hug!

I need to sort out backups on my Jellyfin server, and this is useful information to help me sort it out. Thank you!

I loved the video. Thanks for sharing, Dave.

I'm not a musician, but I've always been fascinated by unusual musical instruments, including the Nyckelharpa.

YouTube just offered me a video about this instrument, so I thought I'd share it in case anyone else might like to see it.

Hi Antoine, I liked hearing about Brazil - Thank you! It's always interesting to hear about places from someone who has lived there.

Regarding the sound transitions, I'd suggest lowering the volume and fading them in/out to make them less jarring. However, they really aren't needed at all.

Thanks for your HPR show!

I was a fan of Zareason as well. Unfortunately, it is one of many businesses that disappeared due to the Covid pandemic.
