Hi Ken,
I get the same failure, and found that there was a release in 2023
github com/rhasspy/piper/releases/tag/2023.11.14-2
I put the downloaded piper directory in /opt, along with the piper-voices/en directory and have a successful voice output.

Thanks for the comment dnt.
It's good to know that you also have a Studio C. There have been changes here studio-wise, but I'll probably leave the details until our next meeting.
I'm glad to know you're enjoying our meetings. We are thinking of getting together for another in September.
Henrik Hemrin says: Where in the world and the interest to preserve
RE: hpr4168::2024-07-24 Beyond Economic Recovery by Trixter00:05:52 Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format.
I believe it should be taken into consideration where in the world
- the legal owner is located
- where the archiver is located
- where the archive is located
- where the archive server is located
Secondly, without knowing, I would expect that several legal owner would not mind that many of their old products are preserverved, if asked for permission. Do you have any experience of that?

RE: hpr4148::2024-06-26 Cheap Computers by Moss Bliss00:03:42 Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format.
Thank you for this. I had been thinking about doing this for a while. After some research, I bought a Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 SFF (small form factor). It was less than $50 on eBay, the only thing wrong with it is the front USB ports don't work. It is very upgradable. I hadn't had a desktop computer in about 20 years. Thanks!

I have enjoyed these shows so much. Today I listened to half of it in the car (Studio C, for Corolla) on the way to work, the other half on the way back. Finished it sitting on the porch while opening some mail. Thank you for putting it together and keep it up!

Great to hear from someone else in E. Tennessee! So many people associate Tennessee with Nashville, not realizing that we have a completely different environment on this side of the Cumberland Plateau (Environmentally, socially, politically, and more).
Already poking around Bandcamp to hear more of Moss' music.
Thank you, Moss Bliss & Ken Fallon.

For those a little bit confounded by Freds rabbling of the notes, there is a place on the nets where you can find the notes:
http://www.folkwiki.se/Musik/88
It has a little bit more ornaments than in the version we are used playing, But you will get the hang of it. As Fred said, there is no definitive version in traditional music.
I hope next time they will speak with me before posting something, so informations like this could put directly in the shownotes. ;-)

Thank you Alexander for your first episode!
I had to look up on the map, I've never been further north than the border area, that is Newcastle region several times and trips along the wall. But your place is far up in the north.
Interesting listen to your experience and interests!

Hi Henrik, thanks for the nice comment. Yep that project does sound cool. It also sounds a bit complex! I’ve seen a few mechanical teleprinters being sold at the odd junk sale I think the price was five UK pounds. From memory I think it was still there at the end of the night. It was very large and I doubt anybody would be able to lift it and get it into there car. How things have changed.

Hi Trey thank you so much for the great tip. This is something I never knew existed and will defiantly keep in mind. The product looks incredible unfortunately the same can’t be said for my rather cheap and battered table. It’s interesting that the man in the video talks about the reformulation of products as we recently noticed that our bars of soap now melt away leaving a mess everywhere!

When you talked about your old computers and usage for amateur radio, I remembered I read in a DX-ing magazine about building an own teleprinter with the short wave radio (or whatever wavelength they operated on) plus a computer; getting news from the international news bureaus directly to me. I never tried myself, but I remember it as a cool project.

I just watched this video a few days ago, about an amazing very hard finish. It is pricey, but may be perfect for your tabletop

Henrik Hemrin says: Refurbished computers
RE: hpr4148::2024-06-26 Cheap Computers by Moss Bliss00:03:42 Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format.
Thank you Moss for both your general suggestion to buy an old machine and also for the detailed technical suggestions.
Until a couple of years ago, I have always bought new computers (except early days when it was possible to get very old almost for free at my work).
I have instead of using eBay equivalent bought my old refurbished computers online directly from companies (here in Sweden) focused on refurbished IT. They might be somewhat more expensive and the offerings more limited, but the advantages to buy from those selected companies with good reputation are that they grade the equipment plus gives warranty. When I have bought with the best grade, the computer (and phone) looks as it is brand new.
So I indeed agree with you to consider to buy an old computer, as well as to consider Linux of choice.

RE: hpr4144::2024-06-20 Running a Self-Hosted Mail Server by Lee00:11:43 Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format.
Kudos on running your own mail server! I often hear hardened server admins shying away from mail, and I am glad to hear that people are still giving it a go.
While mail servers do have the potential for abuse and headache, I think your approach of using a mail suite like iRedMail or mailcow, and hosting a non-essential domain, are a great way to go about it.
Thanks for the informative episode!

RE: hpr4133::2024-06-05 Mastodon as a way to comment to HPR episodes by norrist00:19:40 Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format.
I agree with the concept of using Mastodon in theory. Ken brings up good points. We as a community can still use Mastodon to boost our favorite shows, past and present. I also use Antennapod, and the comment page is very easy to access. I think that highlighting past shows every so often would bring up the variety of shows one can record.

Hi Swift. I liked your description so much I ordered a pair from Amazon. They are now here, and of course because I am blind I cannot read the instructions. I wonder if you could describe the four buttons from top to bottom, which side they are on, right or left ear, and how to pair the phones and how to answer calls. The phones feel very nice on. Thanks for the timely review

Great episode. I have been using a Pi samba share and using a Pi to rip DVD's and Blu-ray discs for a few years now. I'm not sure if there is a show on this, but the newer Pi's (3 and up?) can be set to only use the SD card to boot, but run on a small USB thumb drive for stability.

Hello! I enjoyed this episode very much. I absolutely adore keybr and was pleased to hear it mentioned. If you get bored or if you just want a decent typing game might I suggest https://zty.pe/ You are a small ship and there are larger ships flying towards you with words or letters under them. As you type the word you shoot at the enemy and once you spell the word they are destroyed, but to keep it from being too easy you must finish a word you start before moving to another. Its got many levels and a wonderful sound track. Good luck on hitting 90! I may give dvorak a go!

I am not familiar with this sw and for the moment I think I will not benefit of it. But now I know it exist, and I can go back to this episode whenever I get curious to try it.
Thanks for your good presentation of Atuin!
Henrik Hemrin says: Batteries and hydrogen gas
RE: hpr4140::2024-06-14 Battery and Charging Technology 2024 by Ahuka00:15:39 Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format.
Thanks for this review of car batteries and charging status and development. Over here, Sweden, charging stations; number of them, country coverage, payment options etc are big topics also here.
If - when - I will buy a car, those questions are really interesting.
Actually I am also interested in hydrogen gas cars, combustion or hydrogen coverted for electrical. I know it is a big efficiency loss when producing hydrogen from electricity. And we do not have the infrastructure at all here, far far behind battery charging stations. But I keep an eye on the progress.
Another big topic for all new cars is the surveillance.
Kevie says: A good, balanced and informative talk
RE: hpr4140::2024-06-14 Battery and Charging Technology 2024 by Ahuka00:15:39 Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, it was both informative and taken from a neutral point of view without the political spin that we are used to hearing when it comes to electric cars. Whilst there are many reasons for us to adopt these, the technology is still in it's early days and the infrastructure, especially for those of us that live rurally, simply is non-existant at this present time. I totally agree with you: the governments still have a huge role to play if electric vehicles are to become the new norm.

norrist says: Clever use of transparency data
RE: hpr4135::2024-06-07 Mining the web by Cedric De Vroey00:15:14 Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format.
Using the transparency logs is a clever way to get a list of active domains. Lets Encrypt certs expire every 90 days, so the domains are more likely to be active. I don't have any suggestions for managing the data, but it sounds like a solvable problem.
Can you post more about how you are parsing the transparency logs?
