Not sure why HPR in general might play better than others on wireless speakers. If talking about this particular episode, it was submitted as a .flac file, though as you can see it's been converted to a choice of formats. All other things being equal it could just be the frequency range of the recording. Personally, I still haven't settled on a 'favourite' recording setup, and generally just use whatever equipment is to hand.

Hi trying to understand why this podcast plays ok on my sonos, as not everyone does

That sounds like a great setup.
Are there details you can share in a show?

I am cautious of --delete because of nearly lost data of my child's younger pictures and the day after her birth video. Of course my backup strategy was not great either. I ended up using testdisk (or photoRec?) It has been a while, and I'm sadly lacking documentation.

I'm sure operat0r only used eggs from his own chickens.

Welcome oxo, looking forward to the next show.

Hi oxo and welcome aboard.

I always like hearing SGOTI. It's great how he drops in the odd laugh. He'd put just about anyone in a good mood.

Hi Oxo - Thanks for the show.

One question - Doesn't rsync only copy the files which have changed in the source or destination directory? In other words, you wouldn't need the "find ..." part of the command. Or did you only want to transfer new changes, and older changes are not to be transferred across?
I use rsync for keeping my server music up to date. I have a local copy of my music (ripped from CDs I actually own!!), and have an instance of Jellyfin running on a server. I mount the server music directory on my local machine, and run:

rsync -avt --delete /var/lib/mpd/music/ /mnt/music/

This copies files from my local directory into the mounted folder, and deletes any files in the latter which are not in the former. If I understand your show, you are working to achieve the same thing - have a master copy on one machine, and update the directories on other machines.
I like the -print0 option - I haven't seen that before, and it looks useful.

I look forward to your next episode!

Alas, the fate of male chicks in the egg industry is horrific [mass maceration / mass suffocation / mass gassing]. Have you tried making this soup with an egg substitute?

LOL, didn't know I'd be the one signing off everyone for the NYE show. Sure was fun and I look forward to the next one! :-D

Thanks for this Community News episode! It is an honor to be part of this community, as listener and sometimes as contributor.

Hi Trixter,

Great talk, thank you.

While I may never face such a situation, I would appreciate to get a link to one or more of such Panel-Shows to listen to it.

Cheers

We're willing to find out but you also need to help us.

Please see the issue https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr-tools/issues/12

All we need is someone with a sonos setup to run some tests. If noone volunteers, then it won't get fixed.

Why do most of your podcasts not play back on Sonos speakers

Hi,

I noticed that one of your topics is ham radio.
My call sign is KD9VMW (kilo-delta-niner-victor-mike-whiskey)

I haven't had a chance to transmit, but would like to hear about your experiences in the field, and how you did on the licensing test.

I enjoyed your introduction, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

Good show Elsbeth, nice to hear a different perspective on journeys into tech, look forward to more shows in your subjects of interest.

I agree with your comments about distros. I think the most important thing is to pick a distro and stick with it. Get good at understanding how it's built and maintained, and ideally start to engage with the community behind it. When a problem arises, you can then fix it, and perhaps upstream the solution. I will never push my choice of distro on others, but if they are interested I will share and support their efforts to use it. (It's not arch, BTW!!! ;))

Hi Elspeth,

Thanks for the great show, and welcome to HPR! I look forward to some interesting shows in the future - it sounds like you have many things to share.

Congratulations on your first show.

We have something in common, as I also collect Raspberry Pi's, at least one from generation 1 to 5. :)

Welcome Elsbeth!

Thank you for sharing your introduction, and how you got where you are. It is sad that so many cyber jobs require a 4 year degree, when there are extremely skilled self-taught people ready and willing to be part of the solutions.

It is great to have you on HPR.

Hello, and welcome to our community.

For your interest in books, may I recommend the audio book club episodes.

Google cybersecurity certification sounds interesting. Even though I personally don't have experience in this field, there are people here that do, like operat0r.

Congratulations on your first show, and thank you for giving me credit for getting you to take the first step. I think you have many topics of interest to the HPR listeners. I would certainly like to hear more about your guix experiences, and org-d20. You home automation journey would also provide a rich seam of topics of great interest.

I look forward to your next show!

Hi, Sgoti! I thank you for coming, listening, and bringing your gentle and useful feedback!
Hug!

I still use AutoHotKey on windows 10, mostly for gaming and a few auto complete commands when web browsing. I'm not sure if I can still benefit from this tech, years later in my Linux journey, but I'll have a look at it for sure.
Thank you for the show, Sgoti.

I paused the episode to quickly run a backup of my data. Make certain you label that compact disc then store it in a sleeve; sounds like you may need it again. Thank you for the show.

I agree with Andrew regarding the sound transitions (mostly the first few sound transitions). Thank you for the show and I enjoy knowing the information provided is based on someones personal experiences. Reminds me of the good old days when one could request information from a person, a real human being, without creating an account and submitting a payment method first. Cheers, Sgoti.

Thank you for sharing your experience. TBH we are so guilty of doing things quickly, especially when they are tasks that we are quite familiar with. I'm so glad that you didn't corrupt the hard drive. Excellent pointers for anybody wishing to edit partitions.

The one thing that I always do is put the swap and boot partitions etc at the start of the drive and then have my root followed by the home. This means that if I need to resize then it doesn't need to move the partitions, this has been where I've had the majority of issues in the past.

It shows how much distros have changed over the years, Brasero used to be included with them all but nowadays the majority of computers come without optical drives.

Thanks for your first show.

There are a few show topics that would be of interest.
1. Elder Scrolls - basic idea of how to play (I am not a gamer)
2. More detail on org-d20
3. EXWM

Hello Antoine,

I was listening to the Community Show hpr4351, and Ken was right.
This would make a great show, or series of shows.

Audio setups are *definitely* of interest to hackers :)
