Despite not having any social media, muscle memory in unlocking the screen and getting stuck watching the screen is harder to fight than I thought.

Transcribe →HPR4321: Crux Linux
Feb 24, 2025Tap to summarizeThis show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Crux Linux is a minimal distribution using a BSD-style init, and a BSD-style ports system with tarball packaging. Its install process is very much a manual process, but it's fun! You should try it. https://crux.nu/Main/About CRUX is a lightweight Linux distribution for the x86-64 architecture targeted at experienced Linux users. The primary focus of this distribution is keeping it simple, which is reflected in a straightforward tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style initscripts, and a relatively small collection of trimmed packages. The secondary focus is utilization of new Linux features and recent tools and libraries. CRUX also has a ports system which makes it easy to install and upgrade applications.

Transcribe →HPR4320: Switching my Mastodon account
Feb 21, 2025Tap to summarizeThis show has been flagged as Clean by the host. One way in which the Fediverse is different from corporate social media is that there is no center. By definition, these platforms are a federation of independent servers. This has consequences in that you may have a server that is run by a single person and if that person gets tired of doing it, or faces life situations that get in the way, your server may have to go away. But the mechanisms are in place to handle this situation. I am going to explain in this short episode how you migrate from one server to another.

Transcribe →HPR4318: What's up with the dates on the HPR future feed in AntennaPod?
Feb 19, 2025Tap to summarizeThis show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Some stuff I found out when I was trying to understand why the HPR Future feed in Antenna Pod shows the release date for each show as the date I refreshed the podcast, instead of the actual release date that's in the RSS file. It's because AntennaPod ignores dates whenever any future date appears in the RSS file... https://forum.antennapod.org/t/filter-against-future-episodes/939 Provide feedback on this episode.
Transcribe →HPR4317: Recording an episode of HPR
Feb 18, 2025Tap to summarizeThis show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In this episode Kevie talks about the basic steps of recording an HPR episode. The first step is to plan the episode. What will it be about and also consider the purpose of the show: is it to introduce a topic, give information, entertain, be a tutorial or instructional, an informal yarn. Write down the points that you want to cover and any links that you are going to reference. This will help you when it comes to recording and also it can act as your show notes. For early stage simple and effective recording use your mobile phone. I recommend Audio Recorder as it allows you to record in WAV, you can change the sample rate and it doesn't include adverts or any features that are paid for only. For recording on a Linux desktop I would recommend using something simple like Reco . If you want to record a show with somebody else then you will need to use a PC as Google banned applications that have the ability to record calls. To do this with Reco you simply click on the Record from button and you are given the choice of microphone, system audio or both. Set this to both and whichever way you chat Reco will record the conversation. Once you have recorded your file then simply head to the HPR website: Click upload (top left) Pick an available slot Complete the show notes Upload the file Click submit That's it, we look forward to hearing your first show.Provide feedback on this episode.
Transcribe →HPR4316: Is Scratch a real programming language?
Feb 17, 2025Tap to summarizeThis show has been flagged as Clean by the host. What is Scratch? Who made it? How does it work? What can it do? What are the blocks and how they relate to coding? Can be dragged and placed Different shapes/colours represent different aspects Round ones are analogous to Functions Sharp ones are variables Control ones are Logic/Conditions Why is this good? Allows kids to focus on logic and the mindset of coding without having to learn or care about Syntax/lines of code Allows for direct visualisation of what the code does My own experience Started with blocks in Lego Mindstorm Evolved to C HTML/PHP and then Python The workshop Kids made 2 games that covered all basics Triggers/Input Functions Variables Were all customised by them Explain that each kid made their version the football crazy one turned my cat and balloon game into a Football Match They got to take them home The games covered the basics on this way Input using keyboard for triggering functions Use Functions to modify location parameters If/Then Conditions for when sprites are touching each other/the walls Variables for storing points Operands to increase Points in variable End conditions Loops for permanently checking the If/Then Conditions Ask about the organisation Mora Mundus Download and learn more about Scratch .
