This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Isaac Asimov first invented the Three Laws of Robotics in a series of short stories. But he then imagined how a future society might develop with robots, and he pictured this in a series of novels that have become classics in their own right.

HPR4357: Short introduction by murph.

7 giorni fa

—

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This is just an introduction, here is the rough text of the audio: Hello HPR: I'm murph, I've been an HPR listener for a long-time, into the TWAT days. I'll try to keep it quick. I started in computers in the early 80's with a VIC-20. After a few of the Commodore 8-bits, I settled into the Amiga line, which I daily drove up into this century, and stll have a few. In college in the 90's, I had a dilemma. I wanted to do C programming homework from home, but the expensive Amiga compiler wasn't compatible with the Sun workstations at school. Another student introduced me to Linux, and I promptly ordered a set of Slackware CDs and figured out how to install. I was looking for the compilers to complete my studies, but have stayed for the freedom, and the communities, like this one. I've used countless distros over the years, and use a few for different needs. I am still a Linux user, and system administrator. I've given a few talks on things like gnu/screen, mastodon, tmux ay conventions like Penguicon, SCaLE, HOPE and some more regional conferences. I was inspired by Lyle and Thaj Sera's HPR birds of a feather talk, and thought that it would make a good presentation, and asked them to let me base a talk off of it, which they encouraged. Part of that is how to submit a show, which resulted in me finally, after all this time, finally submitting one of my own, as opposed to the occassional show I've crassly barged into. If you want to reach me, the best ways would be by email or on the fediverse, @murph@hackers.town Thanks for listening. Provide feedback on this episode .…

HPR4355: Record player audio - Streaming with Darkice

11 giorni fa

—

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Intro Hello, this is your host, Archer72, for Hacker Public Radio. In this episode, this is my third show involving my record player. I am using a Zoom H1essential Stereo Handy Recorder microphone, recording into Audacity for this show. Why visit the record shop? Picking up a record at the record shop expands my music choices. I get a chance to talk to the owner on the weekend when searching for new music. He is an archaeologist and a teacher at a local college during the week, and is knowledgeable on all the music in the store. One Year With the Institute - Archive.org I wanted a way to listen to the records while on my laptop, preferably with headphones, as to not disturb the household. How is this accomplished? This is done using a combination of Darkice to capture the stream, and Icecast to stream it to the local network. What is Icecast? Icecast is a streaming media (audio/video) server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 streams. It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction. Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. The default config file is located in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/icecast.xml.dist.gz icecast.xml.dist if the default config gets mangled or corrupted by myself. Several other types of configs are also in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/ that include a bare bones config and the installed icecast2 config is located in /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml Configuration needed to be personalized Cynthiana,KY ricemark20.nospam@nospam.gmail.com Change the passwords from hackme to a more secure password hackme hackme admin hackme 192.168.x.x mountPoint = live # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server name = DarkIce Vinyl Stream # name of the stream description = This is my Vinyl stream # description of the stream url = http://localhost # URL related to the stream genre = Podcast # genre of the stream public = yes # advertise this stream? localDumpFile = recording.ogg # Record also to a file metadata = yes # enable metadata What is Darkice? DarkIce is a live audio streamer designed to record audio from an audio interface, such as a sound card, encode it, and send it to a streaming server. It supports various streaming servers including IceCast 1 and 2, ShoutCast, and Darwin Streaming Server. DarkIce can encode audio in formats like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. To use DarkIce, you configure it with settings such as the audio input device, sample rate, and streaming server details, including the server’s address, port, and authentication information. This description of Darkice is a result of using the Brave Search LLM, or Large Language Model . The default config file is located in /usr/share/doc/darkice/examples/darkice.cfg.gz and is copied to the /etc directory. From there, use the gunzip command, for example gunzip darkice.cfg.gz I used the config file from a blog by Steffen Müller on stmllr.net August 10, 2012 as a template for my configuration darkice.cfg This is the configuration I used in the end. darkice-pi.cfg Changes to the template The audio device is configured in the [input] section, defined by arecord dash lowercase ‘L’ to list the capture device, which in my case is the Behringer UMC202HD USB Audio Interface [general] duration = 0 # duration of encoding, in seconds. 0 means forever The section of the config file for audio input looks like this. [input] device = plughw:0,0 # This refers to card 0, device 0 Start Darkice darkice & Update Metadata I was looking for a way to update the Currently Playing metadata, but my coding skills are not too good. For this, I used Claude.ai to generate code from the prompt: BASH script to send HTTP request to change metadata on icecast stream update-metadata.sh Default values HOST="localhost" # 192.168.x.x PORT="8000" # Default Icecast port MOUNT="/stream" USER="admin" PASSWORD="hackme" # Icecast admin password SONG="Unknown" Usage update-metadata.sh -s "HPR Test" If there are any suggestions for improvements, please leave a comment or upload a show. I look forward to hearing about if an how other people are using a personal streaming server. Also, I am looking forward to the show from the Reserve Queue, 2024-10-13 Fred Black What LP records do I have Other References Radiostreaming for Beginners Provide feedback on this episode .…

HPR4348: Resizing the root partition on a PC

20 giorni fa

—

Background It all happened when I noticed that a disk space monitor sitting in the top right hand side on my Gnome desktop was red. On inspection I discovered that my root filesystem was 87% full. The root partition was only 37GB in size which meant there was less than 4GB of space left. When I thought back I remembered that my PC was running a bit slower than usual and that that the lack of space in the root partition could have been to blame. I had some tasks that I wanted to complete and thought I’d better do something about the lack of space before it became an even bigger problem. What happened As per usual all this happened when I was short of time and I was in a bit of a hurry. Lesson one don’t do this sort of thing when your in a bit of a hurry. Because I was in a hurry I didn’t spend time doing a complete backup. Lesson two do a backup. My plan was to get some space back by shrinking my home partition leaving some empty space to allow me to increase the size of my root partition. For speed and ease I decided to use Gparted as I have used this many times in the past. Wikipedia article about Gparted Official Gparted webpage It’s not a good idea to try and resize and or move a mounted filesystem so a bootable live version of Gparted would be a good idea. The reason for this is that if you run Gparted from your normal Linux OS and the OS decides to write something to the disk while Gparted is also trying to write or move things on the disk then as you could imagine very bad things could and probably would happen. I knew I had an old bootable live CDROM with Gparted on it as I had used this many times in the past though not for a few years. As I was short on time I thought this would be the quickest way to get the job done. I booted up the live CD and setup the various operations such as shrinking the home partitions, moving it to the right to leave space for the root partition then finally increasing the size of the almost full root partition. What I didn’t notice at the time is that there was a tiny explanation mark on at least one of the partitions. I probably missed this because I was in a hurry. Lesson three don’t rush things and be on the lookout for any error messages.
