    HPR4293: HTTrack website copier software

    The Wayback Machine by The Internet Archive is a very good resource for web sites no longer existing or older revisions of them. However, sometimes I have also found it is nice and useful to have my own copy of a web site. It means I have control over the copy, it can be accessed offline and no world wide wait for the page to load. My most typical use case if for web sites that I am manager of myself. For one or another reason, I want to keep a snapshot of the site. I have also used it for fact based sites which I want to always have access to, like a reference book. One of my recent use cases was a magazine that has closed down and announced the web site will also soon be terminated. Although it is available in the Wayback machine, I wanted to have a copy myself for a short period of time. The software I use for this HTTrack. This software is available for Windows, Android, Linux and unix-like systems. It is at least for some platforms available with a graphical user interface. I have myself only used HTTrack with the terminal interface on Linux. HTTrack is a free and open source software. In its simplest way to operate, it is just to type "httrack" followed by the url to the start page of the site to be copied. In many cases this works well, I get a perfect copy. In other cases, it works less well. First of all, of course, I do not copy very big websites, both for the amount of time it takes and the disc space. What is stated in the robot textfile can also matter for the result. Another issue can be the folder structure of the site, HTTrack may not find all folders in its default setup, for example how images are stored. I have myself also got issues when menues and links not works normally where I instead have to right click to open the link. The HTTrack web site has quite a lot of information in the documentation and it also has a forum. And in the terminal, there is also good help about all additional available commands. I have in general for my usage found the simple first attempt to copy sites gives perfect or good enough result directly without need to research details. So, when I want to preserve snapshot of earlier releases of my own sites or when I want to have an offline and preserved copy of an important site, I consider HTTrack to be an easy to use and yet powerful tool. I am aware other similar tools exist, but this is the one I currently use. HTTrack website copier website: https://www.httrack.com/

    HPR4291: AM on the Nyquist Prompt

    Studying for a license from the Radio Society of Great Britain lead to an interesting experiment. What happens if one sine wave is modulated with another sine wave? Similar to sending a pure tone over AM radio. Apparently the result is two frequencies, one equal to the difference of the two original frequencies and one equal to the sum. Creating two tones and multiplying them in Nyquist Prompt in Audacity then plotting the resulting spectrum concurs. (mult (sound (hzosc 1000)) (sound (hzosc 500))) The original tones were 1 kHz and 0.5 kHz. The result was a peak at 0.5 kHz (the difference) and one at 1.5 kHz (the sum). On another note, the manual mentions in practice if one of the tones is the carrier frequency and one of them is the signal, then the carrier should not be modulated all the way down to zero or all the way up to maximum. This avoids distortion and clipping so the quality is better when received. It is also more power efficient so the transmission can travel further given the transmitter has a limited power output.

    HPR4288: God's Pantry Food Bank

    Greetings and welcome to Hacker Public Radio. My name is Peter Paterson, also known as SolusSpider, a Scotsman living in Kentucky, USA. This is my second HPR recording. The first was episode 4258 where I gave my introduction and computer history. Once again I am recording the audio on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone, running Android 14, with Audio Recorder by Axet. The app was installed from F-Droid. Markdown For my Shownotes I learned to use Markdown by using the ReText app, which allows me to write in one window and preview the result in another. What is this show about? When I visited Archer72, AKA Mark Rice, in November 2024 in his University of Kentucky trauma room I reminded him that I work for God's Pantry Food Bank. He said he wanted to hear more, and highly suggested that I record the story as an HPR show, so here we are. I plan to ask the questions I hear from so many, and attempt to answer them as best I am able. What is the History of God's Pantry Food Bank? Reading directly from the About-Us page of Godspantry.org Mim Hunt, the founder of God's Pantry Food Bank, vowed to leave "the heartbreaking profession of social work" behind when she returned to her hometown of Lexington after serving as a child welfare worker in 1940's New York City. She and her husband, Robert, opened "Mim's," a combination gift shop, antique gallery, and health food store, but after seeing poverty in Lexington that rivaled what she'd fought against in New York, she found herself unable to remain silent. Mim began her work in Lexington by filling her station wagon with food, clothing, and bedding, and distributing it directly to individuals in need. Soon, neighbors were bringing food donations to what became known as "Mim's Pantry" located at her home on Lexington's Parkers Mill Road. But Mim quickly corrected them. "I don't fill these shelves," she said. "God does. This is God's Pantry." God's Pantry Food Bank was born out of this work in 1955 and remained mobile until the first pantry was opened in 1959. Since its founding, the food bank has grown in many ways. What started with one woman attempting to do what she could to address a need is now an organization serving 50 counties in Central and Eastern Kentucky through a number of programs with a dedicated staff committed to the mission of solving hunger. Mim Hunt devoted her life to helping others, and we continue to honor her legacy at God's Pantry Food Bank. Her work is proof that one person, with every small action, can make a large impact. We invite you to join us in continuing Mim's work. Where have been the locations of the main Food Bank facility? My ex-workmate Robert Srodulski recently wrote a reply in Facebook when our newest building was announced. He stated: "If I count right, this is the 6th main warehouse location in Lexington. Congratulations! > Mim's house and car Oldham Avenue garage A building next to Rupp Arena (which is now gone) Forbes Road Jaggie Fox Way, Innovation Drive." My friend Robert was employed by the Food Bank for 26 years. I am chasing his time as the longest lasting male employee. Two ladies have longer service times: Debbie Amburgey with 36.5 years in our Prestonsburg facility. She started on 19th October 1987. Sadly my good friend Debbie passed earlier this year, and I miss her great

    HPR4287: Schedule audio recordings on the command line

    TuxJam co-host Kevie does a follow up show to episode 4249 with a look at scheduling a stream recording using crontab and the ffmpeg command. The two things that we will need to set this up are the audio stream url and the time of the show. To set this up we need to go setup a new Cron task: crontab -e and navigate to the bottom of the file. The first thing that it will expect you to enter is the timing for this task, this will be written as * * * * * with the information needed being converted into an appropriate number: minute hour day of month month day of week (0-59) (0-23) (1-31) (1-12) (0-7) * * * * * Then we need to enter ffmpeg -i followed by the stream URL. It is important that we include the duration of the recording, so that this doesn't output a huge file. To set the time enter -t HH:MM:SS making sure to replace the HH(hours) MM(minutes) and SS(seconds) with numbers. Almost done. The last thing we need to do is to enter the location for the file to go along with the name /path/filename.ogg. So in short form the command is * * * * * ffmpeg -i https://streamurl -t HH:MM:SS /path/filename.ogg. The example used in the show for Dan Lynch's Mid Week Pick and Mix: 00 19 * * 4 ffmpeg -i https://arrowestream.radioca.st/;?ver=737183.mp3 -t 02:00:00 ~/Recordings/DanLynchPickMix.ogg

    HPR4284: HPR Developer Information

    Taken from https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_documentation/src/branch/main/developer_information.md Developer Information. Hacker Public Radio (HPR) is a long term project run by volunteers. Project Principles There are a few things you need to be aware of before you decide to contribute to HPR. Our prime directive is that "HPR is dedicated to sharing knowledge". Any software development is done with the goal of supporting the distribution of the podcast media, locally so they can be played on as many devices as possible. The priority is to keep the flow of shows coming in and going out, fix any accessibility issue that arise, then work on any other feature requests. Some things we can change without discussion but other things we need to get input from the HPR Community . Changes can take a long time, community approval can take several months, while other changes require a lot of work from volunteers who are focused on other priorities. We allow redistribution by releasing all our content under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) . In the same vein all our code is released under aGPLv3 , or other OSI approved licenses . We do not track statistics to the detriment of our prime directive. We make the entire delivery ecosystem redundant using native Internet standards, and the cooperation of community members. All Data is available by default. Community Members, sponsors, and hosting platforms will change over time. We have a distrust of online platforms, libraries and niche tools (that we do not support ourselves) as they can and have disappeared overnight . We are very conservative in our choice of tech. As a rule of thumb, all software choices tend to be technology that was developed years ago, and is likely to be around for years to come. We make our code as simple to understand as possible as our replacement may not have the skill set we do. That said, we move with the times when there is a clear advantage to do so. We run up to date patched stable software. We have a long tradition of supporting and sharing hacker culture. Any identified vulnerability are fixed with credit if requested. We use RSS as a delivery mechanism, which is by default fault tolerant. Our primary domains HackerPublicRadio.com and HackerPublicRadio.org are registered with different providers, and the DNS is served from different locations. All our code is on GitTea , please clone locally. Our database is updated frequently, please copy locally. Our media is served from our Community Content Delivery Network (CCD
