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!

Paul

I am glad you enjoyed it. There is more to come from Arthur C. Clarke, Dr. Who, Robert A. Heinlein, and E.E. "Doc" Smith.

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)


Ken Fallon says: Agree

Posted at 2025-12-22 20:05:48 relating to the show hpr4536 which was released on 2025-12-22 by Deltaray entitled Welcome to the Linux Community

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


candycanearter07 says: cool setup!

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

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 :)


Trey says: SDRs

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.


Trey says: Looking forward to this series

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.

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 ?


Ken Fallon says: Checking for أحمد المحمودي to see if there are issues.

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!!

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.
