I agree with dnt. You listen to shoes like Ask Noah and they are doing the
same (though not as good editing wise, or as funny) thing. I like the shows.

I think you responded off-list to a message, as I don't see it in
my inbox.

If you are talking about the controversy with the Microsoft Repo
being added to people's RPi's: (a) it's definitely not ruined
forever, (b) it's easily reversed if you don't want it, and (c) it
only affects systems running the official Raspberry Pi OS.

To summarize the issue: Pi users have been finding that the
Microsoft VSCode repository has been silently added to their
systems, even if they aren't using VSCode itself. There are no
packages from the repository being installed.  The main issue that
people have with the repository being added is that Microsoft's
GPG keys are added to their system automatically without their
consent, and even though they aren't using the repository, the
system will ping Microsoft every time you add, remove or update
your packages (or check for updates to the packages).

As I mentioned above, this is pretty easily fixed be removing the
repository file from your system, and creating a un-writeble repo
file in it's place so it doesn't get re-added.  (Here's a video
that talks about the issue, and how to fix it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuYPIohzo2Y
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuYPIohzo2Y>). The other option
is to use a different distribution (like Manjaro) that doesn't
have / won't add the Microsoft repository.  There is a discussion
thread about this on the RaspberryPi forums here:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63=302591=Microsoft

<https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63=302591=Microsoft>

So, IMO, yes there is an issue.  However, it's not the end of the
world or the RaspberryPi was we know it.  There are plenty of ways
to deal with it.

Maybe someone out that is and can do a show or two on the
controversy, is Raspberry Pi ruined forever, are
there alternatives worth trying instead?

Re: [Hpr] Gitlab Server Getting Retired

There are also gogs and gitea if you are going to selfhost and want 
github-like clones.


Personally, with the amount of devs that we have fossil-scm seems 
like the best fit. My favorite fossil feature is the immutable commit 
history.

Hi Folx,

I want to let you all know that the current GitLab Server is
getting ready to be retired at the end of the month.

There are a few reasons for this:

 1. It is running CentOS6 (this server has been alive since the
beginning)
 2. It was Wrong Sized (Way larger then was needed)
 3. We had an issue with a ton of spam accounts at one point
(That issue was mitigated, but due to the process that is
required for removing the accounts, they have only been
disabled.)

There are more but I figured I would keep it short and sweet.

My question to you all, as the HPR project(s) are the only ones
that have any real activity besides some of my own, is there
really a need for a private gitlab server?  Would a free account
with GitHub serve the cause, or am I missing something?

Look forward to hearing back from everyone.

Little windows that come up when the mouse hovers over, tool tips you

Most screen readers have a keyboard way of moving the mouse pointer to
where the virtual review cursor is, and then simulating a left or right
click with the keyboard, but these little hovers do not show up. It may
be a setting in my screen reader, but those things are distracting.

Better to link as much of the sentence is necessary to describe where
the link goes instead of just 'here'.

I think it is bootstrap that provides a 'popper' to do the little tool
tips, but again, pretty useless for us.

I am doing this from memory, but I think markdown is something like:

[Find the Template manual here][tt]

And then:

[tt]: 

That would work better than:

Find the Template manual [here][tt]

Because again that will create a link that just says 'here'.

In Markdown there's a so-called "reference link" through which a title
can be provided. This populates the 'title' attribute in the link. I use
these in my notes a moderate amount, partly because hovering over the
link shows the title.

Do screen readers read the title attribute at all? If they do is it
helpful, since it doesn't necessarily provide the sort of information
that you're referring to?

Re: [Hpr] Content Query

2020-07-24 Thread Brian
Listening back to old HPR episodes there have been many show series that 
have seemingly been people trying out their podcasting chops


on hpr to see if hosting their own show was something they wanted to do 
( talk geek to me and the alien brothers comes to mind ).


Some are better  than others ( talk geek to me; good : alien brothers; 
not so good ) but they both helped 'keep the lights on' at hpr so for 
that i am


thankful.  I've never had a problem getting a slot for the episodes i 
have produced and I always think I'm addressing the hpr audience itself 
when I'm doing a show.


What ever happened to deep geek and monsterb? They produced some great 
shows, i'm a little sad that I wasn't part of hpr, but its nice to hear 
what they had to say.

ps if monsterb or deep geek read this, "you owe ken a show!"

Hi Marcus,

If you create material and post it first on HPR then it meets the
requirements you mention. That means once you upload it to the HPR
server you can publish it anywhere else you like.

You can ping the janitors at admin@hpr for more technical
questions, as
this list goes to the community.

That said, this question (and three other queries I have had off the
mail list) does bring a fundamental question as to what HPR is.
Are we a
Content Publication Network like youtube, or are we a Podcast that
random people contribute to ? Or to put it another way, is the host
addressing the Internet in general or the HPR Audience ?

I would like to hear the opinions of the community on this please.

Hi All,

Most of the shows we process require us to make some level of
modifications to get them posted. This ranges from fixing tags to a
complete rewrite of the shownotes, or verifying whether intros were
actually added or not.

Each modification that we make means that it requires more human
intervention and prevents us from being able to completely
automate the
upload process. In addition there is a non trivial amount of time
needed
to fix these issues. This can range from a few minutes to an hour or
more per show, and with 260 shows a year this mounts up.

We normally don't contact hosts about these issues as it is usually
quicker to fix the issues than composing emails, and waiting for the
reply that may never come. For the most part our experience has been
that hosts are more than willing to fix these issues if they are aware
of them.

As part of the ongoing steps toward automation, would hosts be open to
the idea of getting a processing report once we have posted the show?
This would list all the issues the test tools found and the steps that
we needed to take to rectify them.

this kind of escalation seems to be common lately. let us not allow it to 
invade... our community is one of inclusiveness, and i have not seen the 
contrary, except for a brief spaceman/vulgarity moment. i feel we were civil in 
that instance, and we can remain so now. realize that tone and tact are left to 
be interpreted by the reader. paul was offering a positive thought in my 
opinion, while it may have been heard as callous to jason. i still have no 
context with this incident, so the discussion is of harassment in general. this 
has many connotations to us all.

Re: [Hpr] Harassment on HPR

2019-12-14 Thread brian via Hpr
perhaps we could remove the host links from the show page, and make people 
"find" the info on the "hosts" page... this wouldn't stop all harassment, but 
perhaps a little of the lazy kind...

[Hpr] uploads

2019-01-25 Thread brian via Hpr
greetings,
i tried the ad...@hackerpublicradio.org address, and it bounced... perhaps it 
did go through as in previous years...
i may have made a mess today, when i thought i would be able to upload from my 
work wifi on my mobile device... i have successfully uploaded hpr2747... if 
there are other shows "processing" for me, please remove them as they will not 
actually be shows.
thank you.
