HPR4205: Trollercoasting almost getting a heart attack

Hacker Public Radio ·

2024/09/13

Trollercoaster reacts to the community news podcast of August - in a way fitting to his handle. With a little touch of drama and a little touch of humor. I hope I didn't offend anyone (oh well... I'm trolling a bit, so I guess I don't care that much... but I do a bit though... does it show that I have a chaotic brain?)

Here is an example of a StatsCan (Statistics Canada) tabular page of nasty UX. NB: in this case, you may d/l the csv, but you'd still have to do the same work. The point is to show a horrible UX case and how you can fix it in LibreOffice Calc

HPR4202: Replacing backup batteries in my Kenwood HF...

2024/09/10

Picture 1 shows the radio hanging over the edge with the front panel rotated down before rotating it back into place. It shows the cramped working condition I had to deal with. Link to the YouTube video I used that described the process of removing the two backup batteries in a Kenwood TS-940S. The video was very useful and informative however as usual it looked far easier than it actually was or perhaps I’m just rubbish at taking radios apart. Picture 2 shows the clock display immediately

2024/09/09

TIL 1: Incrementing times with the date command I have been working on an HPR project which is restoring external files to shows which lost them when we migrated to the current static site. As I make changes I want to be able to check that they are correct, but to make this check I need to wait for the next update of the static site. Ken was away recently, and set up a cron job to refresh the site every three hours. Each show page shows the refresh time in UTC form in the header. Being a bit

Hacker Public Radio ·

2024/08/28

Dave records an episode using AuphonicEdit,edited with Audacity, processed with Auphonic, and uploaded to the HPR website... to show how straight-forward it is to do! This is very much an unscripted stream-of-consciousness episode, complete with heavy breathing, wind noise (meteorological, not flatulent), road noise, and one instance of having to ask for directions because Dave got lost. ... in his own town. ... where he's lived for 18 years. ... quite embarrassing really.

HPR4191: rkvm software KVM

Hacker Public Radio ·

2024/08/26

rkvm is a software KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switch - minus the video. From the README: rkvm is a tool for sharing keyboard and mouse across multiple Linux machines. It is based on a client/server architecture, where server is the machine controlling mouse and keyboard and relays events (mouse move, key presses, ...) to clients. In this episode I discuss the steps I took to install and compile rkvm, my experiences running it, and what led me to this software in the first place.

Hello HPR, this is your host Archer72, for another episode of Hacker Public Radio. My subject today is Piper voice synthesis, continued. In response to Ken's comment on my show, hpr4172 Re: hpr4072 Piper voice synthesis, I am responding to his comment with a solution. I'm glad that Ken commented, because I had put the problem on the back burner and forgot about it. Both of us had the make command for the Piper github repo fail at 22%.

This is a fantastic card game suitable for 3 or more players. We've even played it with up to 7 players. The game utilizes a standard deck of cards. Each player is dealt 7 cards. The remaining cards form a pile in the center face down. The objective of the game is to have the most sets of cards by the end. A set is defined as 4 cards of the same rank, such as all the 3s or all the kings. The suits of the cards are irrelevant in this game. Determine who will take the first turn. This player must have
