For Christmas, I got an Omega Engineering talking multimeter... I have one, but it's in storage, possibly forever, and they're damn near impossible to find at a reasonable price, if you find them at all.
Also got an Ebow for an electric guitar that I don't have, which is interesting, and an Orba2, which seems to be an odd little round thing that makes musical noises.
I had an Ebow, but lost it when I moved to New York.
A beautiful story of kindness and love for Christmas day.

I'm never quite sure whether Advent should run 24 or 25 days, so if you're of the "24" persuasion, consider today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent a bonus 🙂
Today it's rss2email¹, which is I read my RSS feeds². I prefer to read my RSS via email for a number of reasons:
• I don't need to learn Yet Another Set of Keyboard Bindings because I already know my MUA's key-bindings
• I can use any standards-compliant MUA to read my RSS feeds, whether I have them delivered to my mbox file and read with mail(1), or delivered to my normal mail account and read them via mutt/neomutt/Claws/Thunderbird/whatever
• I have offline access via OfflineIMAP/mbsync and any changes (deleting entries, read-status, flagging, stars, tags, filing, etc) gets synced back up to my server, even across multiple machines
• I have all the filtering power of my MUA
• plenty of utilities also speak IMAP, so I can write scripts to (post-)process my RSS feed too
• sharing an interesting article with friends is as simple as forwarding an email
• my backup process for email also automatically backs up my RSS feeds too
• because it runs from cron(8) on a schedule I establish, I have more control of my distractions (I usually run it around 4am gathering feeds for me to read with breakfast). I found if it ran hourly or even multiple times per day, I'd get sucked into constantly checking to see if anything new/interesting had arrived
• control remains with me on my machine rather than handing my reading habits over to some 3rd party RSS reader-service
And I love RSS because it is a pull rather than a push. If I subscribe to your email newsletter, I have to trust that you'll respect my email address and not share it or lose control of it, and cutting off email subscriptions is sketchy. But with RSS? I just stop polling that feed if I'm done with it and it's gone.

If you have the ability to send mail from your machine (even if it's just configured to use your mail-provider as a smart-host), rss2email should still work.

Granted, if your email provider is MS/Outlook, they don't play well with third-party SMTP/IMAP clients, but that's on them and the folks who choose to use them 😆

@clv1 Huh. It's there in the man page shipped by the Debian stable package. manpages.debian.org/trixie/rss… That one refers to this repository which is *way* more recent: github.com/rss2email/rss2email

I'm not sure I really get the logic behind the antizionists who also want to kick fellow Jewish citizens out of their diaspora countries.
Like... where are they supposed to go specifically?
I'm joking. I totally get the fucking logic.
"A violent #antisemitic incident unfolded Sunday evening in #Istanbul, where a group of #Jews heading to light the eighth and final #Hanukkah candle at the Neve Shalom #synagogue were attacked by #proPalestinian #protesters.
According to footage circulated on social media, the attackers charged at the group while shouting, “These #Zionists should leave this country.” Police intervened and dispersed the demonstrators, who waved #Palestinian flags and attempted to approach the #Jewish group."

Ich habe den Eindruck, dass Matrix weitaus problemloser läuft als XMPP.
Bei XMPP kann sich nicht jeder Client an jedem Server anmelden (ich habe diverse Clients und Server, nicht nur meinen eigenen mit ejabberd, getestet). Und auch die Kommunikation zwischen zwei Accounts funktioniert manchmal gar nicht, manchmal nur in eine Richtung und irgendwie nur selten problemlos. Auch da wieder stark abhängig vom Client.
Ein Problem mit meinem Server mag sein, dass er unter einer Subdomain (xmpp.example.com) läuft. Ich mutmaße, dass nicht jeder Server bzw. Client damit zurechtkommt. Zwischen meinem Server und dem von Mailbox.org klappt jedenfalls gar nichts. Aber ich habe noch nicht einmal eine Möglichkeit gefunden, für Mailbox.org einen andeten Client als deren Web-Client zu verwenden. Ich glaube fast, die sind nur zu sich selbst kompatibel.
Manche sagen freilich auch, dass ejabberd recht eigenwillig sei.
Mit Matrix hingegen hatte ich bisher keine Probleme (auch da habe ich einen eigenen Server am Start).
Unter der Voraussetzung, dass für den Server SRV records eingerichtet sind wären mir keine Fälle bekannt in denen eine subdomain Probleme machen sollte. Im Gegenteil ist hostname ungleich domain part (der Teil hinter dem @) eigentlich fast schon Standard.
Das sich Clients gar nicht verbinden können (korrekte Certificates und korrekte SRV records vorausgesetzt) wäre auch eher neu.
Sonst hört man manchmal das nicht alle Clients alle Features können. Das ist wahr.
@daniel
Die SRV Records meines Servers sind m.W. korrekt, trotzdem gelingt es mir nicht, von Mailbox.org aus eine Verbindung zu meinem Server aufzubauen. Die Fehlermeldung (ich habe sie gerade nicht parat) deutet darauf hin, dass Subdomains nicht zulässig seien.
Mailbox.org ist eh speziell, weder mit Conversations noch mit atalk kann ich mich dort anmelden. Ich kann es nur über die Weboberfläche von Mailbox.org nutzen.
Ich habe noch einen Account bei 5222.de, da kann ich mit Conversations mit meinem Server interagieren, aber nicht mit aTalk. Mit aTalk sehe ich von meinem Server aus 5222.de, aber umgekehrt kommt keine Verbindung zustande.
Ja, @mailbox_org nutzt meines Wissens einen sieben Jahre alten #ejabberd. Möchte nicht wissen, wie viele längst gelöste Bugs da drin sind, schlimmstenfalls auch #security bugs.
#aTalk kenne ich vom Namen her, aber ich kenne niemanden, der diesen #Jabber client nutzt. D.h. es wird vielleicht etwas schwieriger dafür Hilfe zu kriegen.
Bei Matrix ist es auch so: Manche clients funktionieren nicht mit manchen servers 🤷

By the way: indoor positioning using our Android app is already working and we're working on making it better than ever before this year!
If you have a phone capable of Wifi RTT measuring (unfortunately that's mainly Google Pixel and Samsung), you even get more precise positioning :)
If you have an iPhone, there is no app. It wouldn't have any advantages to adding our site as an app through your browser, because iOS doesn't allow apps to scan for WiFi networks. #39c3
@blitter No, F-Droid is horrible at updating apps on short notice, so you want to use our F-Droid repo at f-droid.c3nav.de/fdroid/repo/.
Alternatively you can also use Obtainium or similar to get the release from our GitHub directly.
This is repository is for the c3nav app. We use it to rapidly provide updates during chaos events.c3nav F-Droid Repo

@volt4ire I think I'd like to take you up on this offer.
I'm at CCH now and probably for maybe ~2 more hours. Otherwise tomorrow.

in reply to Borris • • •Well, that's a bummer.
It looks like, in order to get full functionality from this Artiphon Orba 2, I need to download an iOS app that is no longer in the app store, and the company is apparently in administration.
Without the app, it can still do some interesting stuff, but not as much, I.E. you can't change keys or load new presets.
This is why having your product tied to an app creates so much ewaste.
There is a desktop app for both Mac and Windows, and an Android APK you can download from the website. Chaining this tiny little palm-sized thing to a desktop app for some basic functionality is silly, though.
