Comment 1: zen_floater on 2024-05-30: "WVDiAL" Mailing List discussions Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This discussion takes place on the Mail List which is open to all HPR listeners and contributors. The discussions are open and available on the HPR server under Mailman. The threaded discussions this month can be found here: https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-May/thread.html Events Calendar With the kind permission of LWN.net we are linking to The LWN.net Community Calendar. Quoting the site: This is the LWN.net community event calendar, where we track events of interest to people using and developing Linux and free software. Clicking on individual events will take you to the appropriate web page. Any other business Proposed policy change In the past month we were asked to remove a show that had been added to the database, and uploaded to archive.org. This was done, but: The amount of work to do this type of change is not trivial. It's not possible to remove archive.org items, only to remove their contents and replace them with whatever comes from the replacement show. The processes involved in this deletion and replacement are not complex but are somewhat labour-intensive. There are ramifications into existing feeds (podcast players cache episode details and do not replace them, etc). It is proposed that the policy be changed to discourage this, except in severe cases - perhaps those with copyright or other legal consequences. Obviously, we normally take great care that incoming shows are unlikely to trigger such problems in the first place. The Future Feed There is a feed which is normally referred to as the "Future Feed", which can be found on the RSS Syndication page. It receives shows which are posted out of order as they come in and may be replaced/reposted if errors are found. This is intended as a means to find issues with metadata or the audio quality of new shows before they hit the main feed. Recently a show was posted to this feed which was truncated. Unfortunately, although the Janitors and a number or listeners follow this feed, this truncation was not spotted until the show was released. It would be much appreciated if you could assist with watching this feed for errors in the future. Please contact the Janitors if you notice anything. Janitorial Team We have had some recent contributions to the development of the HPR software from norrist and kdmurray. We also added them to the "HPR Janitor's Closet" on Matrix to speed up discussions about open tickets. If anyone else wishes to help out with the development please do so by creating an account on our Gitea server. Denial of Service Attacks on the Internet Archive There have been a number of DDoS attacks on this service in the recent past. Jason Scott (@textfiles@mastodon.archive.org), Free-Range Archivist at the Internet Archive, has been mentioning this on Mastodon. These attacks mean that we can sometimes be delayed when we need to upload shows to the IA.
