    HPR3869: 5 minute war game

    Grab some toy soldiers (Games Workshop, BattleTech, Lego, whatever), a handful of six-sided dice, and clear off a 20x20 cm space on your desk.

    Arrange the soldiers within the play area. Place 3d6 by each soldier.

    On its turn, a soldier may move or attack. Never both.

    To attack, remove 1d6 from a soldier's dice pool and roll it. Ranged attacks hit on 4 or greater. Melee attacks hit on 3 or greater.

    When a soldier takes damage, remove 1 die from its dice pool.

    When a soldier's dice pool is reduced by damage to 0 or less, tip it on its side to signify that it is dead.

    The last soldier or soldiers left standing when there are no dice in the play area wins.

    During 2015, Lourenco opened 23 credit cards using the identities of
    three victims he had befriended, two of whom were senior citizens.
    Lourenco’s victims did not know he was using their identities to obtain
    the credit cards, nor did they authorize Lourenco to obtain the credit
    cards. Lourenco used the 23 credit cards to make more than $423,000 in
    unauthorized purchases. He also used the debit card for a joint bank
    account belonging to two of the victims to make an additional $57,000 in

    victims was a vulnerable victim when he used the victim’s identity to
    commit his crime.

    HPR3866: Introducing myself

    HPR3866: Introducing myself

    Hello, my name is André Jaenisch. You can find myself online under
    Ryuno-Ki as well.
    This is my first episode on Hacker Public Radio!
    It is recorded on 8th May 2023 using Audacity.
    It is published under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0
    International License.
    Today I want to introduce myself.
    I'm a web developer for ten years now and recently turned into a
    freelancer.
    My area of expertise is with Frontend technologies, although I also know
    Node.js and Python. I taught myself these languages because my studies
    in mathematics did not cover them.
    During my studies I switched to GNU/Linux. I started with Ubuntu but
    discovered that I prefer Rolling Release distributions more. So I jumped
    to Sabayon Linux which was based on Gentoo back then but pre-compiled
    the binaries while staying compatible. Now they decided to turn into
    another direction so I was looking for another home. I tried Gecko Linux
    based on openSUSE for a while until they had bad news in the press. I'm
    currently running Kaisen Linux which is based on Debian Bookworm.
    Speaking of, I love to read. I have whole shelves filled with books
    here.
    There is so much to learn from books even in the age of the Internet. I
    enjoy that they have a finite amount of content you can walk
    through.
    I learned about Hacker Public Radio at FOSDEM 2023. When I mentioned
    that I have a RODE NT-USB microphone at home already I was encouraged to
    contribute to the show. Now I have been listening to the podcast since
    the beginning of the year and already heard some of the emergency shows.
    I noticed that the hackers on the show are mainly from the United
    States. I hope you welcome people from other parts of the world as
    well.
    I'm from Germany in Europe. A beautiful place to live and I bet as
    diverse as in the States when it comes to the landscape. We have more
    than Berlin and Bavaria here!
    I'm not quite sure what kind of content you would love to hear about.
    I have the requested topics page in front of me and could talk about
    different items. For example, my first smartphone ever was a Firefox OS
    (I still have it. As well as a tablet).
    I switched to Android with F-Droid when Mozilla was cancelling the
    project. I'm running on a Fairphone here, which is a small Dutch
    manufacturer that already managed to move the whole industry into a more
    sustainable direction. Because we produce lots of waste. So I could talk
    about that.
    Or I could talk about building things for the web. Usually I blog
    about that because I feel like text feels more natural to it. But then I
    saw that some episodes contained code snippets in the show notes.
    I could talk about mathematics. We don't have enough podcasts about
    math! My focus was on statistics and numerics so that might be
    interesting?
    What I would love to hear more about is music theory. You see I
    haven't learned to play an instrument in my life. Mainly because those
    are expensive. My personal taste goes more into heavy metal but I'm not
    sure whether you would call me a fan. What does make a metalhead anyway?
    But in order to improve my game development having some sort of music
    and sound effects is important. So I was really enjoying the episode
    3792 on reading music sheets. I lend some books on the library to learn
    more. These subjects weren't covered in depth in my school days!
    Another subject I would like to learn more about is electronics.
    Especially repairing one's computers. Look, I'm using ThinkPads since
    years now. I have a X250 (from FOSDEM) in current use. But I also have a
    X200 and a T520 gathering dust here. Mainly because something „broke”
    with the hardware and I'm too afraid to crack them open.
    Then there's a HP Pavilion standing under my desk to wait for repair.
    And even one of the old machines from the DOS era with an original
    Lemmings installed! But I have no idea how to refurbish them into a
    bootable st

Andrew Erickson ,

This is real Open Source

With a different host every day, you get people's once every few month bit of tech awesomeness every day, not oh no we have to do a show, let's throw something together. Great job on this show community. Way to go open source podcasting.

Mixed bag, at best

Some of it is moderately interesting from time to time. But after just listening to a guy (probably drunkenly,) ramble about installing an SSD and 16 gigs of RAM into a decade old MacBook for 18 minutes straight, I can't recommend. (Real hacker stuff, that...) There's plenty of better podcasts that are more consistent and technology-focused out there.

Hit or Miss, but worth subscribing to

This is a community based radio show, so anyone can make their own podcast for HPR. This results in variable quality, with shows that cover a topic well, to shows that are uninformative or banal, like "What's in my bag today". Since the topics covered are so broad, some of them will not be relevant to you. I personally don't care much for the libre office podcasts, but a libre office user would find them helpful. Still, I enjoyed and learned from many of the shows featured here.
