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)

Hey Ken,
Is there room in the About page to list this a top episode?

Hi Al,

If you like tmux, check out hpr3845 :: Using tmux
- it uses tmux-resurrect to auto save multiple sessions between reboots.

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,
Archer72

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.

i think this is a really cool peek into a community that while i've heard of in passing had never really looked into until now. the interview was entertaining and its clear that elsbeth is well integrated into the community and has a lot of experience

- 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.

Posted at 2025-12-09 17:03:49 relating to the show hpr4523 which was released on 2025-12-03 by Whiskeyjack entitled Nuclear Reactor Technology - Ep 1 - Nuclear Basics

Very well done.

Many decades ago, we learned about some of this in a college physics class. We even had the opportunity to visit a research reactor at a local university, where we participated in the daily start-up process, observed Cerenkov radiation first hand, and even experimented with the effects of certain types of radiation exposure on semi-conductors.

I am looking forward to the remaining episodes in this series.

I listened to the first episode of this series, it is super interesting. Thank you! I am eagerly looking forward to the rest of the series.

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 ?

Posted at 2025-12-02 17:24:00 relating to the show hpr4424 which was released on 2025-07-17 by Archer72 entitled How I use Newsboat for Podcasts and Reddit

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!!

Hello Archer72,

You might try checking the ARRL Silent Key Archive https://www.silentkeyhq.com/

Posted at 2025-11-30 15:48:22 relating to the show hpr4521 which was released on 2025-12-01 by HPR Volunteers entitled HPR Community News for November 2025

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.

Posted at 2025-11-26 03:35:05 relating to the show hpr4517 which was released on 2025-11-25 by Trey entitled Cheap Yellow Display Project Part 4: The hardware

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.

Posted at 2025-11-20 11:35:22 relating to the show hpr4397 which was released on 2025-06-10 by Klaatu entitled Transfer files from desktop to phone with qrcp

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

Posted at 2025-11-19 18:34:36 relating to the show hpr4509 which was released on 2025-11-13 by Kevie entitled HPR Beer Garden 5 - Heferweisen

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.
