A Sound Canvas takes on beatboxing. And it... actually kind of works. This is a karaoke cover of Dopamine, a song composed by WING of BEATPELLA HOUSE, a South Korean beatboxing group. Two versions of this cover exist. A simplified version designed for sound cards from DREAM SA, which are essentially compatible with the Roland SC-88, and a second one designed for the SC-8820. Both covers lean into the strengths of each source. Both played on my SC-8820. From KY Entertainment karaoke machines. DREAM SA version sequenced by Yunseong Choi (최윤성) currently unsure who the 8820 version's sequencer is due to encoding issues with the file. Original song: youtube.com/watch?v=qlrpeYdm9E….

I'm sure that Quebec has pretty bad numbers too because of that piece of shit of Dubé (and Legault). $180 is the cost, and most no-choice-of-private-insurance don't cover it either.
Before heading to the Hill Country to spend Christmas with my grandparents, I stayed up a little too late packing and writing. This post is a quiet reflection on the past year, family, and trying to slow down even when I am not very good at it.
I GOT A STORY TO TELL ALL OF YOU. AND @ChrisDuffley you might like this, so i'm pinging you in. so it's Christmas day, right? around I dont' know, 9 ni the morning, we open presents. there's a few things I got like (yes) a brand new mini PC, small yetp owerful, and gummy bears, chocolate bars. that was it.....except it wasn't! after my sister and I (at least I thought) was done, I get told there's an extra present waiting for me. I get drove to a hill as part of our property, and what to I find? and i'm not kidding, what you're about to hear what I found is totally real. a 100 feet #ham radio tower. yes, I now have a ham radio tower ready to be installed and, once I get my license, used! I can't believe it! this has to be one of the best Christmases ever!!
I don't know how it was done, but now I have a 100feet ham towert!

(for future readers: this table is wrong, #DeltaChat doesn't require phone numbers or #email for registration can be used anonymously without providing any data at all, for #telegram encryption is not supported in groups at all, only in 1-to-1 chats using the "secrets chat" which don't even sync across devices so is highly impractical and not much used by people in the end)
From all of us at HKC Radio, we wish you a Merry Christmas.
As a result of some oddities surrounding schedules, we have chosen today to let you hear music on shuffel most of the day, and at a time TBD, run the Lessons and Carols service @coasterfreak88 submitted to us, in its entirety, as it was cut due to a technical error last night.
Replays will begin late tomorrow night after Christmas unwrapped and Home Alone II.
If, like me, when you think about AI your thoughts drift to the organic composition of capital, here’s a thought you may find interesting: capitals with a high organic composition can only maintain profit levels so long as they can prevent excess supply from entering the market.
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.
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.
www.virtualhere.com through www.tailscale.com and a wireless hotspot? Honestly, sounds a bit impractical, but it's better than carrying a desktop/laptop around. It would be really helpful, for this sort of thing as well as for a ton of other reasons, to have virtual machines running Windows on phones. The processors and RAM can probably support it.
Very cool! Would love to hear a demo of the multimeter. Ebow is a lot of fun for the first few hours! :) Unfortunately for my Ebow, I got a really cool Ebow library from SoniCouture! :)

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.
I would like to read my RSS via e-mail as well, but I don't have a server. I know there is Blogtrottr.com, which delivers RSS to e-mail, but it doesn't allow me to customize the "from" header to fit the article's author.
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 😆
Probably old news but my mind is always blown by all the stuff #curl can do. I had zero idea that curl has a —form argument that lets you simulate filling out a form, complete with a file upload. Let me automate a super annoying task for a friend with a dead simple bash script.
Great! NiceGram's text box no longer works either. There goes an alternative. If multiple developers would stop using the native Telegram interface (because yes, tons of these third-party clients do), we wouldn't have to deal with things like this. Bright Guide is outdated and hasn't been touched in ages either. If anyone has any Telegram client alternatives, I'm all ears.
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."
Pro-Palestinian protesters assaulted Jews on their way to a Hanukkah candle lighting near the Neve Shalom synagogue, shouting anti-Zionist slurs as police dispersed the crowd, some of whom waved Palestinian flags
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.
Na sodwas. Wirklich erstaunlich diese Erfahrung. Ich habe noch nie von solchen Problemen gehört. Mein Server spricht mit allen, und alle Clients verbinden sich ganz normal: Einerseits mit meinem und ich habe auch Konten auf anderen Servern ohne Probleme, genutzt mit verschiedenen Clients.
@debacle @mailbox_org Conversations sollte sich aber eigentlich trotzdem mit dem mailbox.org Server verbinden können. Bin mir vergleichsweise sicher das es Conversations Nutzer gibt die den nutzen. Gibt es irgendwie eine konkrete Fehlermeldung?
J'ai été voir s'il y avait des commerces ouverts ce jour de Noël. Pour ce je je vois, même les boulangeries habituellement ouvertes le dimanche sont fermées. Les imprévoyants qui n'ont pas fait leurs courses risquent de devoir attendre samedi pour trouver quelque chose à manger. #Strasbourg

I still miss UseNet. Trying to use this platform as well as I can. The assumption is that people who engage with what I post are also likely to post things I might find interesting.
This year will be my first time attending #39c3. If you have any recommendations, just want to say hi, or would like photographs taken of something, my DMs are open!
Christmas is a bit melancholy this year. I don't want to ruin anyone's mood, so I'm trying to keep it on the down low, but there are definitely some saddening differences between this year's Christmas and last year's.
Somehow it won't get into my head that another year is over. And this is not even trying to be that "time flies" type of post. I just, can't really grasp it. I read old messages from a year ago, and there's just nothing. I feel like I've been stuck with nothing new, or old, or left. Not sure how to describe it. Like things kinda fade away, but somehow don't, nothing is really, worth building on, or completely trustworthy. Idk it's all a mess. And 25 didn't make it better at all. From a technical perspective, I've learned more than a ton this year, and improved a huge lot. But the satisfaction only lasts a few moments till my perfectionism takes over again, what do I know really, it's still a long way. Yet I don't even feel the progress I've made this year, cuz there's no one really to share it with. Cuz ultimately nerdy is only cool as long as someone else understands what you're up to, and at this point I feel like I'm at a position where it's kinda impossible to. All right you may move on or something, guess these words wheren't really informative at all.

in reply to -/mondstern • • •Linux Mint is a good choice :)
There may be some Linux cafés or repair cafés near you willing to help with this. endof10.org/places/ lists a few but I am sure more exist :)
Maybe people at the Linux Mint forum on forums.linuxmint.com/viewforum… know places you can go to too but I have no experience with that.
