Další rozhovor P. Procházkové s ekonomem emigrantem z Ruska. Tentokrát je to více data-based. #odemceno denikn.cz/1712638/prichazi-do-…

Přichází do Ruska hlad? Ruský ekonom vysvětluje, co čeká průměrnou ruskou rodinu

Ekonom Igor Lipsic není moc velký optimista, nemá rád úvahy nepodložené čísly a daty a na svět se dívá velmi pragmaticky. V brzký konec ruské války nevěří, a to přesto, že Rusy podle něj čekají fronty před obchody i potravinové lístky.

If I use Gemini, which is how I'm transcribing stuff these days, it's different every time.

1. Build Shit, Fix You, and Sorry is Better and Body for you, for you.
2. Deal Sheet, Visual and solid, is better and body for you, for you
Let's try through Whisper:
They'll cheat this you and sorry it's better and party for you, for you.

A transcription I got earlier had something about "aesthetic", which I can actually hear if I listen now.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Please join me in giving a warm welcome to my interns Riyen (@patel.riyen) & Sam (@samaaberg). They will be working with me through the end of June on videos promoting the Fediverse. This is their #introduction.

Sam & Riyen are two talented film students who are #NewHere: a mere 7 days ago they had no idea what the Fediverse was. I have the immense honor of introducing them to it.

We are filming this week! Send us good vibes 🎥✨ #EleFediVideos

Three people sit on a couch. On the left: a young man with black hair and a beard wearing a black blazer and white pants; in the middle: a woman with long brown hair (me) wearing a blue and white striped t-shirt and blue jeans, holding a clapper with the text: "Fediverse Promo no.1 by Elena Riyen & Sam - May 2nd 2025"; on the right there is a young man with glasses and light brown hair wearing a red hooded sweatshirt. A bookshelf and various items are visible in the background.

I tried it. It's got a long way to go before prime time. Not sure if it's due to limits set by #Gemini or what. But, Yes, you can tab through the elements, but not much else. Plus, it seems to take over windows when that screen is in view, to where I can't alt tab or anything until I close this app out. This after generating what's on the screen. Can't even use jaws navigation keys.

Virtual machines need to be configured to get the best experience. So I wrote down the steps I use when I'm building a Windows virtual machine. And after 18 months of using Linux as my daily driver, I have added KVM specific steps!

How to get the best experience from Windows guests under Linux KVM

After making the leap from Windows to Linux over 18 months ago, I have been using KVM for virtualization. Like most hypervisors, virtual machines under KVM need to be configured to run at their best. KVM is not different.

Do any well-known C libraries handle JSON web tokens? I found two:

But both seem relatively unknown, and I want to try to stick to C dependencies that are at least known and used enough to have a distro package.

Something probably stupid that I wish I could do as a blind music producer is look at the waveforms of my tracks/mixes in Reaper. like yeah your ears are the best and most reliable tool but they can be biased by headphones, how you slept, allergies like I'm experiencing today, etc. Plus there would just be something super satisfying about putting something together until it sounds good, then looking at the master's waveform and tweaking the frequencies until it fills out the entire frequency spectrum just right. I'm assuming the answer is no because I can't even begin to fathom how something like this would work, but is there an accessible tool to do this?

Gotta say having been in many so-called professional studios is that waveform looking makes certain engineers lazy as all get-out and I hate it.
'Oh let me just drag this thing here, OK looks like it's lined up with the other tracks...'
Don't even bother to play it, bounce it, test it in the car (and yes this *has* happened)
only to find out it was off by a noticeable amount.
I wish I was lying to you.

Ask yourself *why* you want a mix to fill out the frequency spectrum though?
Did it sound good *before* you did that? Did it sound any better *after* you did that?
Is it possible your track *might* be used as a bed for someone to talk over, and there's just no space for voice because you phattened it up like a mix pig for slaughter with your waveform frequency-spectrum-filling?
Did you watch some video on youtube that says 'OMGOMGOMG if you don't fill this mix right out nobody will ever listen, and you're a bad, bad evil bad person if you don't do these 15 steps to waveform filling right now!'

When I say 'You' by the way, I mean the general You, not You, Quinn.

My students sometimes come to me and say
'Why don't we do this particular compression trick in every mix?'
I have to ask them
'Do you need to? Is it important that you do?'

And so on.

@FreakyFwoof EDM is full of that kind of thing, although I think it's more commonly ensuring that you don't have a bunch of instruments all crowded in one band, E.G> when this happens in the lows it becomes muddy, and filling is a sort of side effect. Totally understand though. It makes sense for some genres more than others. And that's still a spectrogram, not the actual waveform. All the *waveform* is good for, IMO, is aligning transients and carefully avoiding pops and clicks from joins. And maybe micro edits to clean up a sound, remove little pops etc.

@x0 @FreakyFwoof I do think you can still achieve a similar mix, even at comparable loudness, without having access to tools like this. It would definitely be nice, but it is not a must. If you know the techniques and if you reference often, you can get there easily. It is a tool that won't automatically help you make your mixes sound great. You can check mono compatibility, frequency crowding, all of those things purely by sound as well using utility plugins. So I agree I'd love to have those kinds of plugins, but it's not what stops me from trying.

Filling out the frequency spectrum is not quite useful, white, pink and brown noise do that already with some changes to the lower frequencies for the two latter ones.

What you are looking for is an even distribution of the existing frequencies (Teote, Ozone, Hornet Thirty-one, WavesFactory Equalizer, Grand Finale, DSEQ3, Gullfoss, etc) do this, exciters and saturation to add new harmonic content, just to mention a few things. Ultimately, these tools, despite the aggressive marketing some of them have, can't replace your ears but they provide fast results if you don't want to focus on mixing and mastering. You still need to tweak things and it's very easy to overprocess your sound of course.

Several books could be written about how many things could influence your sound, both while mixing and mastering (from the headphones or monitors you use through the room you are in, to what your genre needs), not to mention when your final master reaches your listeners. Their hardware, environment, ears, etc, will color the sound as well. You could have a perfectly neutral master and someone could quite easily make it heavy on bass just by listening to it on gaming headphones, or better yet, listen to it in a car.

This is a very complex and overwhelming topic, but if you need advice and you really want to make your sound better, listen to the same genre as much as you can. That's how you train your ears to get accustomed to things that stick out (resonate) and over time you will learn what instrument is problematic in what specific frequency areas. Most importantly, less is more.

More and more I am looking through @Delta Chat apps and resources I believe this should become number one messenger of choice for screen reader users.
The developers are constantly improving its #a11y. It's secure from the start of using.
Additionally the desktop chat has under gone an #accessibility audit and accessibility issues are clearly documented in public.
I am not sure other messenger style app on the planet has such dedicated commitment to accessibility ever.

@Paweł Masarczyk While testing I have used gmail or my own classic email account. It worked but I have understood using #chatmail servers is what makes it most attractive. I think I have read a blogpost from someone a few months ago explaining this very well that inspired me, however I can't find that article in my browser history right now. CC @Cleverson @Delta Chat

@Paweł Masarczyk @Cleverson I know you are looking for a way to stay in contact with people you are already connected to using traditional email. Still I would recommend creating a #chatmail account on your relay of choice just for testing so you can start with an empty profile and you'll get to experience the @Delta Chat the way it has been meant to. Then as an exercise continue with other more advanced scenarios such as classic email login.
The #chatmail based onboarding is really very simple, there is nothing to do wrong.

Dutch public TV has (only) three channels, but it still offers you some freedom of choice. Like right now you can choose whether you want to see the very same footage of Remembrance Day watermarked with the logo of NPO1, NPO2 or NPO3. 🙄

If this was not enough, there are four more extra online only channels - broadcasting the same thing again (NPO1 extra is a small exception as it adds sign language)

NPO1 broadcasting nationale dodenherdenking 2025
NPO2 broadcasting nationale dodenherdenking 2025
NPO3 broadcasting nationale dodenherdenking 2025
