Does TaskWarrior support CalDAV ? I use todoman, it is a CalDAV-based todo manager. Todos are read from individual icsfiles from the configured directory. This matches the vdirspecification.
https://todoman.readthedocs.io/
It is part of pimutils project [ https://pimutils.org ]
vdirsyncer can be used to sync with CalDAV server such as Nextcloud.

Also the Futurama episode “Parasites List” has a similar concept. But à la Futurama style. Go Fry!

It's a really nice simple command line task app, I've been using it for a while. Are you able to like make a one off show like that? I don't think I'd have the material to make a lot of shows...

Hello candycanearter07,

What is Taskwarrior? I know enough to google it, but it would be great to hear a show about this, and maybe another show comparing and contrasting the two.

Hey SGOTI,

Personally I am not a fan of any of the "universal" formats. Back in the day, Slackware had .tgz, Debian had .debs, and redhat had .rpms, Then people said "that is too convoluted, AAA game designers will never put up with that!" So each of them started working on their own "universal" package format. So here we are years later, with (again) three primary formats, ubuntu has snaps, redhat has flatpak, and whoever did appimage. But now we still have 3 so called universal package formats...So how are we any better off?

You remember the old saying, "The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.” :D

I vaguely remember hearing the title Flowers for Algernon. Thank you for sharing about the story here. I will be checking out a copy from my local library soon.

The app seems incredibly cool, but I'm still most likely going to stick with taskwarrior. Best of luck with development, though!

Hey enistello,

I'm afraid I won't be able to submit any more podcasts to HPR if I want my career to end at a high point. So much flattery is dangerous.

Glad you enjoyed the episode

(oh, don't worry, my inner troll is too strong, before I know it, I'll be spitting out my next soap box episode. Haven't decided who I'll insult in that one)

You remind me of my Uncle Benny and Santa Claus. Nice deep voice!!

Thank you trollercoaster for an inciteful and genuinely funny (yet bittersweet) episode.
Whether or not the audience loves or hates AI, you covered the MIT research paper objectively and in a way that made me LOL more than once.
Thanks again!

I really like this idea! The whole thing of having thought provoking poems is pretty cool, despite the length being kinda short.

Also, is the League of Better Villans a real thing?

Thanks Trey,

I really appreciate your feedback! Didn't even think of touching the topic of degenerative brain issues. I guess my own brain (full of degenerative thoughts) blocked that idea out of my head.

Looking forward to your HPR episode on how to train the brain (in not going insane - quoting Cypress Hill here)

Keep on (t)rolling!

Posted at 2025-09-29 13:32:40 relating to the show hpr4476 which was released on 2025-09-29 by Trollercoaster entitled Does AI cause brain damage?

Trollercoaster, I love the way you put this episode together and delivered it. You addressed a serious issue in an entertaining and informative manner!

AI is a powerful tool. And for a select group of people with challenges like ADHD and/or a genetic propensity for dementia, it can be a very dangerous one.

I try to daily exercise my brain to help minimize degeneration brought on bu some of the above mentioned issues and complicated by age. But, I also need to be able to leverage the powerful tools of AI. Thank you for the reminder to practice moderation... And to think for ourselves, more often than not!

A big congratulations to HPR for 20 years! A little late on my end to respond, but better late than never.

I really miss when the fancier TI calculators, the ones that you COULD program on, were more popular. I personally never got to load any games on it or anything, since our school never gave us a transfer cable or the software to do it, but I was always fascinated by the idea. I used to love messing with the builtin programs in class.

Hi Chaps,

Can you do an episode on how you go about classifying a beer?

Do you use a FLOSS beer tracker possibly on f-droid ?

Thanks !

I have been following this series on the Future feed.
This has been an interesting use of the CYD so far, and I look forward to future, Future shows ;-)

Hi المحمودي

Thanks for the feedback. I have a long history of mispronouncing peoples name on the Community News. It's not intentional and not just you.

The more shows you send in, the better the chance that I'll get it correct. ;-)

Hello,
There was a mistake pronouncing my name, the 'ح' letter sounded like 'kh', which is actually the 'خ' letter.
The way to pronounce the 'ح' leter is described in the following URL:
https://arabicalphabet.net/arabic-alphabets-the-letter-%D8%AD-%E1%B8%A5a%CA%BE/

Funny thing is that this same mistake was done by British teachers who were at my primary school, although I used to write my name in English letters as 'Ahmed', I would expect an English speaker would pronounce 'ح' as a silent 'h', yet that's not what happens it seems.

i like how the quality of the mics were tested in a controlled way and played back so you could hear the sound quality. obviously, different mics would produce varying quality, but its something i at least dont usually think about beyond "this sounds a bit crunched"

Posted at 2025-09-09 21:32:12 relating to the show hpr4453 which was released on 2025-08-27 by beni entitled IPv6 for Luddites

Hi Beni,

This was a great show! It really alerted me to how complacent I have become with my networking. I checked my ISP (Zen in the UK) and they offer IPv6 on request.

I need to teach myself more about the details though. Of course, if someone were to make some shows on this subject on HPR, I'd be well on the way :-)

I would like to set up VLANs on my network so I can isolate gadgets like my EV charger and the monitoring thing Octopus Energy sent me that apparently needs to be on my WiFi. I also want to isolate any IoT devices I install.

I also need to know how to allocate fixed IPv6 addresses for my Raspberry Pis, and so on and so forth.

A long time ago I used to be in charge of networking where I worked, but that was when we ran X.25, so my brain needs a lot of updates...

Dave

Posted at 2025-09-09 18:27:50 relating to the show hpr4453 which was released on 2025-08-27 by beni entitled IPv6 for Luddites

I think your explanation of ipv6 was very clear and understandable. My home network is ipv4, even though I have an ipv6 ready ISP, and a static ipv6 address (range, as I now understand!). I feel like the time has come...
I will be listening to the show again, in order to learn enough to get started. I don't know if it would be practically possible, but we could make a show together setting everything up on my home network? What do you think? We would have to find a way where you don't have to do much to make it happen (i.e. - I am _not_ scouting for free consulting)!
Thanks for a great episode - Paul

Hi everybody,

Thank you for the positive feedback. It is much appreciated!

Since the show the article has been published with the NVO, the national professional association in the Netherlands and was the heading of their newsletter. It was received very well.

All the positive feedback is a real boost. It makes me want to spring into action to do more.

So thanks once again for your comments.

Just wanted to say that your HPR show / technology origin story was great to hear. Your English and audio were both fine. You do speak quickly, but having grown up in New York (USA), speaking fast sounds perfectly normal to me!

Thanks for keeping HPR interesting.

Hello Wojciech,

For me as a non-native English listener, your English was fine; well understandable and in a good speed.

Thanks for your first episode!

Posted at 2025-09-04 13:12:45 relating to the show hpr4459 which was released on 2025-09-04 by Wojciech entitled How I got into tech

It is an interesting beginning on tech! An "horror" show would be interesting, I agree. :)

Audio and English were good for me!
