HPR4143: Learning to touch-type using the Dvorak keyboard layout
After 40 years of 'hunt and peck' typing I finally bit the bullet and learned to touch type, using the Dvorak keyboard layout.
I found plenty of online tools and listings of software designed to help, and I cover some of these in this episode.

HPR4142: A Shared Shell History With Atuin
In this episode Marcus / mnw walks you through the install and
initial configuration of a shell history replacement called Atuin.
My first show I'm quite nervous!
Config Options
These are the settings suggested to change in the config file
~/.config/atuin/config.toml
auto_sync = true
style = "compact"
inline_height = 10
enter_accept = false
Trouble Shooting
Is my postgresql working ?
psql -d "postgres://atuin:ak4hTNms5Y@127.0.0.1:5432/atuin" -c "select now()"
Is my service running?
service atuin status
Syncing
On the first host you register on you want to grab your key.
atuin key
Then login and use that key on the other clients with
atuin login -u username -k "the word soup from the atuin key command"

HPR4140: Battery and Charging Technology 2024
It is obvious to most people that we need to stop burning fossil
fuels to prevent even worse global climate change. Options like solar
panels and windmills are options for providing clean renewable
electricity, but since so much of our fossil fuel use is for
transportation, we need to make strides in improving batteries and
charging. Fortunately there have been some very positive developments
that will show up within just a few years

This show is about gaming, more specifically gaming on Linux. This
episodes is about Factorio, a survival strategy game focusing on
automation. I currently don't have show notes to go with this show.
Customer Reviews
Love this idea
Keep it up
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.
