T-Mobile has gotten worse, but I'm still not switching androidauthority.com/stay-with…



In my 20 years of podcasting, I’ve tried many services for recording podcast interviews. I’ve found nothing better than Cleanfeed, because it’s reliable and flexible. While there are services that record locally and then upload, all of them glitch out at one time or another, because there is a lot of complexity in getting that right. It’s heartbreaking to lose a good interview because your double-ender service had a bad hair day. It happens far too much.
Cleanfeed is also good for broadcasting and other live events. During the lockdowns, many broadcasters were using Cleanfeed to send entire shows, including high quality stereo music streams, back to radio stations.
I did an explanation and demonstration of Cleanfeed in The Blind Podmaker podcast which is still relatively current.
I say all this because Cleanfeed has just come out with a very nice update for iPhones using USB-C. You can now use a USB-C audio device including audio interfaces, come into Cleanfeed through safari for iOS, and Cleanfeed will recognise the audio device. This is going to be a big deal for people who want to participate in high quality podcasts or live broadcasts while on the go. If a radio station has a broadcaster in the field for some reason, coming in through Cleanfeed and a USB-C audio device is going to sound way better than a FaceTime call.
Best of all, Cleanfeed’s developers care deeply about #accessibility. They’ve responded positively to many of my suggestions and those of others in the blind podcasting community.
You can find Cleanfeed at cleanfeed.net.



Apparently mask are optional at the Covid vaccination centre.

Oh and they rightfully say that vaccine don’t protect against transmission. But yet nobody is required to wear a mask.





I had a talk called "Unbreakable Linux for Entire Family" today. It had nothing to do with Oracle #Linux, it was about concepts and approaches around #Fedora #Silverblue to make a truly free ChromeOS-like system for friends and family.
I was happy to have a full room of people. It's good to see #OpenAlt bouncing back in terms of attendance.

The recording of the talk (in Czech) is already available online:

Why is it that I just found an abnormal amount of duct tape rolls and when I'm looking for duct tape, it's nowhere to be seen? I blame the duct tape minions. They are hateful little creatures.

we have it with batteries. I noticed we were getting low on AA's so bought a fresh pack last week, only for Halloween to come and the kid to use half the damn things within a few days of their arrival. We've not even opened the drawer for 2 months before that!
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo I refuse to by non-rechargeable batteries now. Spend a good chunk of change on lots of AA and AAA, a good charger or even two of them, don't buy batteries again or at least until you lose those ones.
in reply to Andre Louis

@FreakyFwoof I don't think I've actually used any this year until this weekend. My last battery top-up order was in 2019.
in reply to Andre Louis

@FreakyFwoof it's the bigger cna d cells in the outdoor lights that never last when they're rechargeable.
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo Lol, sounds about right. We also have a problem with scissors. Buy scissors, because the old ones disappear. than the old ones resurface and the new ones disappear. So annoying.
in reply to Scary Martin

ha we have a scissor block in the kitchen next to the knife block, which itself has a scissor slot. that's 4 scissors right there in theory. In practice ...


Bezos deliveries it's either:

- We drop shipped your delivery and didn't tell you.

OR

- We ring multiple times and then bang on your door in case as the dogs freaks out.

How about you just ring once?
