Having done zero research I submit a link that I got from Hackaday
roo_display is a feature-rich, fast, and easy to use library intended for building 'smart home' and similar controllers with graphical UI and optionally touch control.

Nice community news, as usual. Thanks for this one!
Kevin said that to encourage someone to migrate to Linux desktop, is the best start to use software available for Linux already when on the other desktop, then will the hurdle to step over to Linux OS be relatively low. Good advice!

Hello all,
A show with WhiskeyJack as Homer Simpson on the Beer Garden series would be interesting, I'm sure.
Cheers, *clink*

Hello أحمد المحمودي,
In the short term, you can use
`download-filename-format "%F: %t.mp3"`
which forces all feeds to download and show up as mp3.
I know this is not ideal, and I am working on a better solution.
In the mean time, you can use
`newsboat -C custom-hpr-config` for just the HPR config.
Cheers,
Archer72
P.S. HPR would like to hear you on a microphone of any sort.

Hi Brian, Thanks for a very informative show. I have and use three X270 Lenovo laptops, and I am writing this on an X390. I have never considered a Yoga version (with the touch screen), but may well do so in the future. I also appreciate the other information you have shared.
Best wishes for the New Year!

Nice podcast episode! I agree that Arthur C Clarke made a very good book on "Rendezvous with Rama"! Science Fiction without killer robots, or evil aliens is so uncommon!

Nice hearing your voice for the first time CliMagic! I love Linux too and I’m liking a lot many tools that help you fix stuff like codex, gemini-cli and Claude code. They integrate very well and are awesome way to learn new commands. This year I’ve learned about aseqdump, ss, iw, loginctl and wowlan magic-packet wakeonlan.

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. I'm glad this landed well as I was a bit uncertain about it. Also, thank you to Sigflup for proof-listening to it. If you're serious about having this linked to from other places then maybe we just need to post it to some forums, Reddit, FB, etc.

hi,
i find it pretty cool how the intro/outro is all automated, and im legitimately suprised that people dislike it! the music is really calming and sets the mood well, and i was always kinda wondering what tts you were using since its a lot more understandable than espeak is (or at least the default voice for it)

Hello, candycanearter07
I'm glad you are enjoying our community, and a happy belated birthday.
You mentioned SDF, which I have an account on but rarely used
- I should try it out again
- anonradio is good to hear on a road trip :)
- Do you use an instance on Matrix or Mastodon?
Cheers,

I also have to use a laptop for my main computer, though it is nice to have the same exact setup both at home and when I'm not.
I will say that TLP supports setting charge limits directly, and I'd reccomend setting it up there since it persists after boot.
Localsend looks interesting, I'll check it out!

This is a good tip for any new project. I like to see success early, so I try to start with something small just to see something work. It is good motivation to keep going, and a solid foundation to build on.

decided to put my responses into one bc i didnt want to spam the comments, uhh let me know if thats not allowed and stuff sorry
- im suprised someone recorded a 8 HOUR SHOW?? that seems way too long to keep talking for :(
- i mmaybe will make an episode or two on my scripts, tho ill start with the taskwarrior one (which doesnt use xclip) since thematic followup to my first ep :>
- peertube is a cool concept but i only occasionally watch videos on the anonradio/sdf instance, so i dont have the experience to make a episode about it :P
- agreed, ai freaking S U C K S as both an artist and coder
- you cant listen to regular books, lol
- happy late birthday to archer :) (also my birthday is in 2 days :))
- either the news list has been going to spam or i missed it bc i completely forgot about it :( ill double check that once i finish listening
- RE: Trey - thanks for introducing me to TuxJam, i have another podcast to dump into gPodder :)

Posted at 2025-12-09 17:09:11 relating to the show hpr4526 which was released on 2025-12-08 by Lee entitled Baofeng and SDR++
Well done, sir.
SDRs have really opened up parts of radio technology experimentation to a wider community. I have noticed a significant difference in performance and quality between inexpensive SDR dongles and higher end devices like the SDRDuo I prefer.
I have not tried the SDR++ software, but regularly use SDRConnect and SDRangel.
Continuing to experiment is the best way to learn and grow.
