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.

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%.

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

Archiving VCR or any other RCA media After my Father passed away, I volunteered to archive his Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) collection to disk for the family. You might be aware that Europe used Phase Alternating Line (PAL) is a colour encoding system for analog television. It was one of three major analogue colour television standards, the others being NTSC and SECAM. Ireland used PAL-I, a version based on CCIR System I, which meant that none of the VCR players in the Netherlands would work. So in

TIL 1:Movement in the galaxy and mass extinctions Throughout the history of this planet there have been a number of mass extinctions. There are various theories about what has caused this. I came across one of these recently. The solar system doesn't orbit the galaxy in parallel with the orientation of the galactic plane. There is a difference in the two orientations in other words. Sometimes it's in the galactic plane, and at times it's "above" or "below". When in the plane the solar system is
