Posted at 2025-08-14 06:18:54 relating to the show hpr4435 which was released on 2025-08-01 by hairylarry entitled Philosophy, Cosmology, Physics, and just what is up with Hairy Larry's brain.

Thanks @Hairylarry - I enjoyed the background information, and loved the music.

It would be great to hear how you can get into Jazz improvisation - perhaps another show? ;)

Thanks for sharing!

Loved learning about this profession and themes related (children with learning difficulties and their environment).

Thanks for talking about.

Hi Manon,

Thanks for the show. It was excellent.

I now understand what your job entails, and might be able to pronounce the word if I listen some more and practice :-)

Regards,
Dave

Thanks. Definitely outside of my plain text programs wheelhouse.

In fact it originated as a From The Archives Of Something Blue musicology podcast. But, I thought, cosmology, physics, noumenology ... maybe this would work on Hacker Public Radio.

And I don't think noumenology is a thing. Noumena is a thing in philosophy as I described. So I wrote the title of the piece as a joke and then that led me here. So I guess, henceforth, noumenology is a thing.

Hi, Elsbeth. I'm happy, really, that it was enjoyable to you.


Bob Jonkman says: How could playing music fit HPR?

Posted at 2025-08-10 22:58:56 relating to the show hpr4435 which was released on 2025-08-01 by hairylarry entitled Philosophy, Cosmology, Physics, and just what is up with Hairy Larry's brain.

I didn't think that playing music would fit with HPR's goals, but Hairy Larry's intro on phenomenology and nuemenology was definitely of interest! I didn't know what nuemenology was (or even that it was a thing) so I learned something today.

And I'm a Hairy Larry music fan anyway, so this was a nice episode.

I loved listening to this podcast, especially since I am one who loves life hacks as well as tech hacks.


FXB says: HOPE Conference Talks

Posted at 2025-08-09 15:14:40 relating to the show hpr4440 which was released on 2025-08-08 by murph entitled The HOPE conference.

Also worth noting :- If you are unable to make it to HOPE (I have never attended the conference myself) you can still benefit from it.

The folks at 2600 who organise it do, eventually, when energy and resources allow, post recordings of most of the conference talks online for all to enjoy. It does sometimes take several months to a year, but given they do so for free one cannot complain. These can be found on both the internet archive and youtube.
2600.com also sells complete sets of audio and video recordings for download and on flash drives for convemience.

The talks from this year's HOPE won't be online for a long while after the conference but recorded talks from previous HOPE conferences both technical and not often remain interesting and relevant, especially given some of the individuals that regularly talk at the conference.

Hi Ken et al. I'd rather HPR was kept as a secular place.

Posted at 2025-08-04 08:42:29 relating to the show hpr4429 which was released on 2025-07-24 by Elsbeth entitled Handcrafting and Bartering discussion w. Elsbeth

Hello Elsbeth,

If any show would be helpful to my wife, this would be the one!
She is a fellow craftier, making jewelry part time.

If only a podcast were her 'thing'.

Have you thought of this type of show with a video in addition?
She is a visual learner.

Thanks,

Hello Jeroen,

Another great show in this series.
I have been working for a bit on using virt-manager for virtual machines, and this is the perfect project to try out.

Looking forward to the next show.

Archer72 says: Interesting approach

Posted at 2025-08-04 08:26:11 relating to the show hpr4442 which was released on 2025-08-12 by Manon entitled Orthopedagogiek - what it is.

Hello Manon,

Thanks for the show, I learned a lot about this subject.

It is a very interesting approach that should be implemented worldwide. I am located in the U.S., and doctors here will be the first to increase a dose, or add another medication to 'fix' an issue.

It is pleasant to see this whole person / situation approach.

Hello Jeroen,

My wife has a side crafting business, and this is an interesting application that I will most likely self host solely for the inventory management aspect.

Is there an option to upload a photo of each item in inventory?

Thanks,

Hello Jezra,

I was just thinking about this a few day ago at the grocery store.
Telegram has a checklist option, but of course it is a paid 'feature'

I am very interested in something like this that could be self hosted.

Looking forward to hearing the rest of the series.

Posted at 2025-07-31 09:57:06 relating to the show hpr4417 which was released on 2025-07-08 by Dave Morriss entitled Newest matching file

Thanks. I like your use of 'dir' as an alternative to 'find'.

I have used 'find' in the past for its alternative pattern matching (limited as it is), and have probably become stuck in a 'find' rut as a consequence.

I shall resolve to use 'dir' more often.

I would probably have added a 'sed' call to the pipeline to return the newest name and remove the double quotes, but that's just me.

I sometimes use the lynx browser for focusing on work.
It has been helpful in the options menu to select VI keys, then to save options to disk.
There is also an option for Emacs keys if needed.

Hi, interesting podcast, thank you!

I heard you use neofetch. I did too, but found out recently that it is no longer maintained.

I switched to fastfetch instead:
https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch

I configured a basic theme for it here:

I was listening at night, on the bed.
When you talked about lemmy.'sdf'.org, I wanted to know that instance of Lemmy. I thought I listened 'str' instead, and there I went to the website (that has no Lemmy, but it was not a problem once there), came to know it, grateful for you having presented.

Hi Ken. I loved Ubuntu Podcast (2008–2021). I find that Linux Matters is no where near as good.

Hi Ken. Thanks for the tips regarding running an SQL DB. I'll likely let it go as I find it all too convoluted. I'd love to see a feature on HPR to easily find all past comments by folk - like can be done on general internet forums. Regards.
