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.

I don't imagine this is a dire subject for most people, but thank you for the overview and the rationale. It's nice to hear about the trivia.

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)

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

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

RE: hpr4526::2025-12-08 Baofeng and SDR++ by Leefrom the series HAM radio.
00:09:33 Listen in ogg, opus, or mp3 format.
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.

RE: hpr4523::2025-12-03 Nuclear Reactor Technology - Ep 1 - Nuclear Basics by Whiskeyjack
00:11:24 Listen in ogg, opus, or mp3 format.
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 ?

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!!

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.

Hi to all at HPR. I like the re-design of the HPR website.

Hey Daniel. I enjoy episodes like this that cover FLOSS/Linux/etc news stories. I hope it becomes a regular fixture. Thanks.

Thank you, Mirwi for sharing that explanation. I sometimes forget to explain items like this when I am recording.

If anyone wants to learn more about the term "Silent Key", please listen to episode 3922 which I recorded about it back in 2023 at https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr3922/index.html

Trey said "...which once belonged to a close friend of mine who is now silent key.", but missed to explain the term for those, to whom it might not be obvious.
"Silent key" is the amateur radio jargon for a deceased person.
