[Hpr] HPR Gitea instance migrated to new server

[Roan Horning]

Hi,

Josh is updating the infrastructure of AnHonestHost. Our Gitea instance is now 
migrated to a new server, so if you get an error doing a push to 
repo.anhonesthost.net  that is why.

Its new IP is 34.212.55.19--just in case.

Thanks,

Roan (Rho`n)

[Hpr] Publicly accessible repository for the HPR static site generator [REDUX]

[Roan Horning]

Hi,

Thanks to the interest shown by Mechatronic and Norrist to show hpr3797 :: How 
to submit changes to HPR, I have created a publicly accessible repository on 
Gitlab (actually it was where I originally hosted it--I just forgot that it was 
there). The Gitlab repository will be updated once a day from the one on 
repo.anhonesthost.net.

Visit: https://gitlab.com/roan.horning/hpr_generator

No worries, I should have stated that at first. My position was not well

the Internet Archive. They already provide an API, and they provide the hosting

HPR shows that have gone live are hosted from, so what value would hosting on 
HPR provide ?


The value of hosting your shows on HPR, at least initially, is a fairly large 
audience with presumably similar interest is introduced to your content.


Well doesn't that make those Syndicated Shows?

/we are only releasing material created exclusively for HPR./

https://hackerpublicradio.org/stuff_you_need_to_know.php#syndication

We put that rule in because other podcasts sought to post to HPR to gain 
audience, and we started having no free slots for HPR only content.

Over the years we have stopped a lot of podcasts from airing on HPR because of this rule, 
but what's to stop them "hosting" on HPR instead and by passing this rule ?



Ahh, I didn't realize that was an issue. While I have recently worked with the 
syndication page, I obviously haven't read it thoroughly :) How is this decided 
currently--whether a podcast can post through HPR or not? Is it on a case by 
case decision through the mailing list?

From my point of view we keep the same direction. A podcast that happens to allow other 
podcasts to post their episodes in our feed. By direction, do you mean the same, or is 
that the question about direction: allowing other show's to "host" themselves 
through the HPR feed?

I feel we should be a podcast, and should maintain the same policy towards accepting and airing 
shows from other podcasts that we currently have. As long as they meet the requirements of posting 
on HPR--i.e. shows of 'any topic that "are of interest to Hackers"', they post on the 
accepted schedule (currently not more than once every two weeks, if I am not mistaken), their show 
can be posted under the same CC license that HPR uses, and they are generally not a disruptive 
member of the community. The gray area is when a podcast is wholly hosted through HPR versus 
playing an episode from one which is hosted elsewhere. I think we ask the host to give a brief 
summary of any external podcast being aired on HPR at the start of the show, before including the 
external material. For podcasts which air regularly or are wholly hosted on HPR, the summary isn't 
requested. So far, I don't feel like anyone "hosting their podcast" on HPR has abused the 
spirit of posting to HPR.

For me the connotation of a podcast hosting platform means either some kind of 
monetization going on in the background, or some kind of sharing of resources 
between the podcasts, and I am not sure how that would look and work as HPR is 
currently structured. I doubt Josh and AnHonestHost.net would mind some extra 
capital coming in to offset the HPR resources they graciously give to HPR, but 
it would be a completely new dynamic that would need to be worked out. If we 
went that route, I see a Hacker Public Network (HPN) or Hacker Public 
Broadcasting Network (HPBN) to which HPR would then become part of that 
network, but HPR would remain basically the same.

I would be interested in helping develop an upload API. I have contemplated an

phone or tablet. Also have ideas for a command line script which reads a file 
that has the various upload fields in it, and then posts to the website. From 
my Guix install adventures, I was looking to become more familiar with scheme 
(in particular Guile), so started working on a script to upload shows. I don't 
have anything working yet, but I now create a .scm file with the various fields 
defined when writing my show notes. Then I just copy and paste them into the 
browser input fields.

Not that a script/program couldn't make the post calls to the same location 
that the webpage form does, but it is easier to parse the response, 
particularly error responses.

Good point. We'll move the discussion out after the community news, where the

I have started my HPR site generator project and it is currently hosted on

I propose we move the general discussion about updating the HPR website code to the

please create an issue with the label "General Discussion" 
(https://gitlab.com/roan.horning/hpr_generator/-/issues).

I do prefer some sort of forum or mailing list for this type of discussion, but

In this situation, we have no information to make an informed decision. We have

Following the above argument, I don't consent to move the show.

Please don't take this as a lack of trust in the Janitors. As my first response 
puts much trust in them. I can see Ken's worry of just moving things without a

and two, provide an audit trail if an issue of censorship does come up. Say 
every other post by Rho`n suddenly gets postponed ;) I feel at this point a

If we take a look at the possible makeup of a show we have 7 possible sections.

1. Show Synopsis
This is the text to speech. I was in favour of it but everyone hates it. It 
should go.


I do like the text to speech synopsis of the show. I see it as a hack/geeky part of the 
podcast "brand".


2. Thanking our Hosting provider
IA don't know we do this, and Josh never asked us to do this. In speaking with 
him, unfortunately the mentions don't convert to clients. So with his 
permission, I'd like to move that to the start of the community news so that 
it's handled as a personal thank you from the Janitors.


While the attribution to An Honest Host may not have generated bunches of 
sales, I still think it is a good thing to do. I have at times looked at using 
their services, they just haven't met what I needed at the time at the price 
point I wanted to pay. I did recently make a donation to them towards HPR

I found that link on the About page when exploring the HPR website the other 
week. Maybe we should stress the donation link--many podcasts mention at least 
once if not multiple times their Patreon or other donations links (not saying 
we need Patreon--just highlighting the method we do have)

I often listen for years to a podcast before I start financially supporting it


3. HPR Introduction Music
There are a lot of themes available, all long
http://hackerpublicradio.org/media/theme-music/

I do believe we need to add a theme to maintain the "HPR Brand", otherwise we 
risk been considered an amalgamation feed.

There is no need for it to be as long or as *LOUD* as it is


Other than the levels on occasion, i don't mind the current intro and outro music. I have 
heard it so much that I occasionally hum it around the house, and as far as branding 
goes, the other night I was humming it and my partner asked "are you humming the 
music to your podcast?"



So in summary, I'd suggest dropping everything but a very short intro and move 
the rest to the community news.



I feel there is value in keeping a fair amount of the intro and outro the way 
it is. Finding a way to tighten it up is fine, but for me part of the HPR 
experience is the intro and outro.

Hi anarch0re



The intro song is loud, low bitrate sounding trumpet chiptune fanfare, which is 
fine.  The thing is, the shows are often recorded at a low volume level so the 
volume must be adjusted upward to hear them... then after being soothed by a 
soft spoken hacker voice, the blaring, loud chiptunes are blasted again at the 
end of the show.


Fair point and you're not the only one that mentioned this.

We have several volunteers who will help us clean up the audio and help the 
host improve their setup. We will on occasion farm the poor audio out to 
auphonic.com to see if they can fix it.

However you don't mention which show in particular you are having a problem 
with. Or do you feel that this is a problem with all of them ?


I have noticed for my shows that often the intro/outro is louder than my 
recordings, both when I record using my phone or my computer. I have tried to 
boost the audio levels to match the intro and outro. My audio editing skills 
are still minimal, and often my audio would start to sound to harsh when I try 
to amplify it too much. Until today, I didn't think about trying to download 
the intro to use it help match the level.

I did download 
https://hackerpublicradio.org/media/theme-music/intro-music-slick0-cc0-mono.flac. This 
seems to be the standard intro clip used to attach to shows. One thing I did notice when 
importing this clip into my Audacity project, the average volume db levels showing on the 
meter fall between -12db and 0db, often being around -6db. When recording on my phone the 
average levels are between -18db and -12db. Given how "hot" the recording 
levels are for the intro clip along with type of audio it is -- it has a perceived 
loudness much greater than a typical voice recording.

Perhaps a simple solution to the production process for the janitors, is to use 
a clip that has its db levels decreased by -9db to -12db. This range seemed to 
match the loudness of my default recording levels. Granted that would make the 
situation much better for me ;) I have a Samsung Galaxy S9. I am sure the 
recording levels vary to a degree from phone to phone, but maybe a quick survey 
would give an average range to target.

If nothing else, having the intro/outro clips be a little lower than the users content 
would solve the "sleepers" issue. They would turn it up (or not) to hear the 
intro, then turn it down to the desired level while listening to the content. If they 
fall asleep, the outro will be lower and not wake them up.

On another point, I did notice the "Loudness Normalization..." effect in 
Audacity. I am going to try using that for my next show. After editing the main track(s) 
of the show, I will then use this effect to try and bring the level up to the level of 
the intro clip.

The takeaway from that page: an adaptation of material licenced under

In HPR's case the Attribution-ShareAlike elements, but the older

After a quick review, I vote to move to the newer version of the

Maybe adding one or two others if they seem to be a big source of
legitimate traffic, won't be a problem, but if any of them changes their
parameter name, then the rewrite breaks, and needs to be updated. The

As Ken points out, we already sanitize the parameters, and treat any extra
as an attack. I assume the above rewrite rule occurs before the php
sanitization code, which now allows it to pass. Would a more generic
solution be to modify the sanitize function to just drop invalid
parameters, log as potential attack, and then do a redirect from php with
just the valid parameters, or just show the page using the validated
parameters?

This reminded me of an article I saw the other day on Hacker News : URL
query parameters and how laxness creates de facto requirements on the web (
https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/web/DeFactoQueryParameters)

While I generally fall  on the side of "Why are you putting your parameters
on my URL", does a hard "NO" hurt spreading the goodness of HPR more than
it provides a security to the site? Personally I don't find many links on
socail media i want to click upon, but I would hate to lose a potential new
listener/contributor because they followed a link from Facebook and then
didn't end up where the poster originally intended. I know this does add
some overhead to the code, but I feel it is worth it in this instance.

I have published my git repository of the site to gitlab.com:
https://gitlab.com/roan.horning/freeculturepodcasts
It might be nice to merge it with yours/the HPR one to capture all the
various changes.

On another note, I assume you or Ken is working on the domain suspension
notice for the website. I have been seeing it since this afternoon (Monday
the 27th).

Roan

Hi,

Attached are updated TT2 templates that fix issues with Apple webkit based
browsers.

Dave:  I didn't have your latest changes, so are not incorporated (but
happy to do that if you post them).
There is your initial .tpl template using the default start and end tags. I
have also created a .tpl.html one
which uses  for the end tag. This allows
for a valid html file to be a template
file.This is convenience for anyone editing the html, their editor should
automatically colorize the html.

I tested this on my computer using:

> tpage --starttag='' feedWatcher_2.tpl.html
>

Thanks,
Roan

Hi Dave,

I will incorporate your template along with my css changes this weekend. I
have the page and logos in a local git repository. Should we host the git
repository somewhere publicly?  I have a gitlab or github account I can
use, or happy to submit patches/PRs to a repository under an HPR or other's
account.

I also plan to add a CC0 license to the page, and add meta data attribution
information to the logos.

Thanks,

Roan

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. I haven't had a chance to look at it on Apple
devices (other than using Firefox's developer emulation tools). I will try
to address it this weekend.

Attached is an updated version of the page.

   - Adds site "tagline" I missed in the first version
   - Fixes responsiveness issues for small devices (with the power of
   flexbox comes greater responsibilities).

Hi,
Attached is a stab at a simple one page site, that should be easy to
generate. It needs some love for small screen devices. If this gets picked,
I am happy to keep tweaking.

Re: [Hpr] SGV Files

[Roan Horning]

I was not able to view it in my browser or using the Preview app (I think
it is the default Gnome one) once I downloaded it to my laptop. I opened it
in Inkscape, selected all, and then adjusted the page size to the selected
drawing area, and then saved the file. I was then able to view it with the
Preview app. I haven't tried uploading it to test from a browser.

Re: [Hpr] Different width in same column on one LO Calc sheet?

[Roan Horning]

I think you would have to use two tables. Maybe even three. An outer table
with just two rows and one cell, and then in each row put the tables with
the data. The top row containing one table with the first column widths,
and the a second table in the second row with the different cell widths.
