Ken Fallon says: Can I have an example

Posted at 2025-09-16 12:01:13 relating to the show hpr4456 which was released on 2025-09-01 by HPR Volunteers entitled HPR Community News for August 2025

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. ;-)

I love exploring beers. I enjoy a stout from time to time. I have never tried a dessert stouts, but plan to. I curious what you think of hefeweizens - my current favorite.

Posted at 2025-09-12 14:18:48 relating to the show hpr4456 which was released on 2025-09-01 by HPR Volunteers entitled HPR Community News for August 2025

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.

Posted at 2025-09-12 12:45:59 relating to the show hpr4461 which was released on 2025-09-08 by Lee entitled Battle of the mic's

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"


Dave Morriss says: I was surprised to find that my ISP offers IPv6

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


Paulj says: Fantastic show - thank you

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 Wojciech,

Many thanks for the show - your sound quality was great, and no problem with your english delivery.
I look forward to more shows from you in the future!

Best regards,
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.

Manon

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.


Henrik Hemrin says: Thanks and welcome

Posted at 2025-09-04 18:58:43 relating to the show hpr4459 which was released on 2025-09-04 by Wojciech entitled How I got into tech

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!


Antoine says: Welcome!

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!

Posted at 2025-09-02 23:24:59 relating to the show hpr4445 which was released on 2025-08-15 by Jezra entitled doodoo one

I think you touched on a nugget of programming wisdom in this episode: functions should only work with one thing. If you need to apply the same function to a collection/group, every language has a loop/construct that can help you do that. :)

I'd even take it a step further; functions should do one thing, to one thing. Keep it nice and simple!

i probably couldn't make an entire show about making some basic mods, but i appreciate the positive comments and making little code projects for myself is really fun!

Posted at 2025-09-01 08:40:26 relating to the show hpr4459 which was released on 2025-09-04 by Wojciech entitled How I got into tech

Hi Wojciech,

That was a great first show, with lots of interesting topics.

To your question, your audio was good, and so was your English.

I for one look forward to your October story. :)

Posted at 2025-09-01 08:34:16 relating to the show hpr4393 which was released on 2025-06-04 by Some Guy On The Internet entitled Journal like you mean it.

Hi SGOTI,

While I have not started a paper journal, I have started an electronic one (backed up by Syncthing) soon after this show.

I do like the idea of a bulleted list, and this is done with Digraphs.

Dave Morris could tell you more about that one.

This also prompted me to write more on actual paper.

Hi Antoine,

Yes, your comment is a good encouragement, and it was interesting to hear the Portuguese meaning of "AI" :)


Antoine says: AI! ("Ouch" in Portuguese)

Posted at 2025-08-30 02:20:09 relating to the show hpr4454 which was released on 2025-08-28 by Archer72 entitled AI, It's a Trap!

Hi there!
A relevant opinion show, giving something about the use of AI (in Portuguese, "ai" means "ouch"), and a good conclusion.
Thanks for sharing.

I hope this comment comes as good Mana. It is sincere.


Ken Fallon says: I opened a bug, you can help fix it.

Posted at 2025-08-29 10:35:24 relating to the show hpr4453 which was released on 2025-08-27 by beni entitled IPv6 for Luddites

Hi wheresalice,

I have opened a bug(https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_hub/issues/97) to track the issue.

We are a volunteer service so please consider helping us out with resolving it. Please read the developer information(https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_documentation/src/branch/main/developer_information.md) before you decide to contribute.

There may be additional costs associated with this, so we need to check. Josh pays for the entire HPR website hosting and if anyone wants to support him you can by going to https://anhonesthost.com(https://anhonesthost.com). We need to move hosting location soon and I have asked Josh if we have ipv6 support there.

You can also help by adding some IPv6 shows to our Networking series. You can contribute your own shows about IPv6(https://hackerpublicradio.org/about.html#so_you_want_to_record_a_podcast), as you clearly have some experience debugging dns at least ;-).

If you prefer you can cohost with Beni who is looking for people to help with sitting in for his shows.

I've updated the Requested Topics(https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_documentation/src/branch/main/requested_topics) page to include some more IPv6 requests.

Feel free to do overview shows, but also deep dives eg, into the structure of the packets.

I hope you get to present at the BSD conference you mentioned.
But you can always to a HPR show about using OpenBSD as a router for a IPv6 only home network

Posted at 2025-08-27 14:22:23 relating to the show hpr4453 which was released on 2025-08-27 by beni entitled IPv6 for Luddites

Did I want to be reminded that I am old enough to remember when IPv6 was first introduced? No, but loved the conversation, and does have me wanting to try out IPv6 on my home network. A nice test for my ASUS router running DD-WRT.

dear boat builders,
let this episode be your inspiration to carve a name plate to attach to your vessel so that future generations will know the name of your sweet sweet boat.


candycanearter07 says: "moddable" games

Posted at 2025-08-25 11:05:27 relating to the show hpr4451 which was released on 2025-08-25 by operat0r entitled Game Modding

making your own game mods is one of my favorite things to do, like the kinda indie games that are written in scripting languages (lua, gdscript, dreammaker) are really good to kinda slap your own thing onto, especially since a lot of them have a built in mod loader. imo providing something like that and making it easy to modify is one of the best things a game can do, esp if its open source as well


jezra says: noted!

Posted at 2025-08-23 16:07:31 relating to the show hpr4445 which was released on 2025-08-15 by Jezra entitled doodoo one

yes, I will discuss the file structure in my next doodoo recording. Thank you for the suggestion.

A small test app was partially developed, but I gave up on it due to reasons, mostly I'm lazy. but I'll expand on that in the next doodoo recording as well. :)


jezra says: development happened faster than the show release cadence

Posted at 2025-08-23 16:02:02 relating to the show hpr4438 which was released on 2025-08-06 by Jezra entitled doodoo zero

@archer72 doodoo is *feature complete* and I'm using it in production already; self-hosted on digital ocean. If you want to try it, please do, and feel free to ask questions (which will be answered in an HPR episode).

Posted at 2025-08-18 22:05:14 relating to the show hpr4446 which was released on 2025-08-18 by Trollercoaster entitled Calling on AI to resque HPR

Hey candycanearter07... I actually wanted to point out how different LLM's are very different in their biases, and you should be aware of that when you use an LLM.

But I agree that the last thing we need, is LLM generated scripts (or even worse... AI generated voices playing AI generated scripts)
While it would solve the problem of empty slots... I agree that I'd rather have HPR end than that it gets stuffed with AI slop.
