Krásné dobré ráno mastodonní bando! 🙋♀️🐶🐈 Archibaldík byl ráno štěstím bez sebe, že zase nastal ten den, kdy se jdeme ráno toulat. Ukecaný byl, jako trhovkyně na stánku. Nasadit mu kšíry vyžadovalo nadlidské úsilí. Ve finále jsem ho musela přišpendlit k zemi. Začátek cesty si pořád něco frflal a poblafával. Rychlý byl jako šipka. Vlastně je spíš chlupatý bumerang. Tam, zpátky. Tam zpátky. Tam, kolo, kolo, kolo, zpátky. Byli jsme venku od půl sedmé. Teď jsme přišli. Viditelně by si to dal znovu. 🧵
Zoom released New firmware for H1E. I am sending this again because i broke the first post.
You can set imput gain during recording but i don't know exact buttons
You can record and export to mp3
You can record with AI noise isolator. It analyzes the noise during first 3 seconds to get noise profile. you can enable it with shortcut, the third button in the top row (button which marks during recording) or in rec settings. Not bad but it filters just high frequencies. Do you guys testet this? @Andre Louis @Borris @Tomecki zoomcorp.com/en/jp/handheld-re…
I imagine given the extremely limited processing power of the H1E that AI noise reduction won't be too impressive. I'll play with this later, I.E. when it isn't 3:51 AM.
Since you have the H1E and H2E, how much do they actually differ. I have the H1E but was also considering the H2E, what do you use which one for. Is having both actually worth it?
They're very different. The H2E uses a M/S array, and it's side-address. You can record from front/back at the same time, which I don't really find all that useful. To do this, it uses a cute little trick where it has a front and back cardioid, and it inverts the phase of the sides to correct the stereo image depending on what side it's coming from. Or you can record from the front mics/external 3.5mm input jack at the same time, either to a mix file or separate tracks. You can adjust the stereo width of the microphones to three presets -- 90 degrees, 120 degrees or mono, or record in raw M/S and do all the processing in a DAW. To me, the microphones of the H2E are a bit cleaner, and have a totally different sound. The unit is also quite a lot larger. Not huge, but definitely a different form factor. IT's more like a little side-address studio condenser microphone with buttons and a display on it. There is also a slot for the BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter for wirelessly syncing it with other devices and setting the time.
@jonathan859 I also have the H1E, and the H2E, and absolutely love my H2E. in fact my H1E just sits in a drore collecting dust. smile. personally I like the way the H2E sits in my hand better than the H1E, but like I said this is me personally. I wonder why they don't have this update out for the H2E? that isn't cool.
@JamminJerry @jonathan859 Just guessing here, but the fact that the H2 essential isn't a standard stereo recorder (it's M/S) makes those changes a little more complicated than the rest to implement.
@jonathan859 Follow the update guide included in the firmware zip file. Part of it doesn't speak. Be sure to have it plugged into USB-C, either a PC or a power supply on the other end, or the firmware update process won't start.
BTW imput gain can be set on home screen before recording, pres forward and rewind buttons. I am comfused what it actually sets. I set it to max. With mp3 it seems that there is some limiter enabled, for wav I am getting distorted output e. g. I hear that it sounds like distorted.
So it's probably like setting the gain on all the other Zoom recorders. If you normalize one of those distorted recordings, it'll probably go down by a whole bunch of DB and clean itself right up. Not a chance in PCM land, but good that it has that failsafe for mp3.
oops, its not distorted, it just sounds like that when listening back on the unit, I get recording with +17 db, after lovering the volume it sounds fine. I am still confused when using it as usb mic, because you can set send volume and imput gain. But maybe people used to mixers understands how that makes sense.
Sounds like it's probably not actually adjusting the real input gain then. So no more headroom than before if you turn it down more and use sensitive mics, I'm guessing.
now you can with prew and next buttons or how thei call it. Two buttons at the bottom to browse recording and revind / fast forward. It works just on the home screen before recording. When setup at max and turing volume knob to max, you can set it really too loud.
Easy test: Turn it all the way down and thump one of the mics. Does it still say "input overload"? If so, then it's not actually setting the input gain.
Did you update the accessibility file as well? Sorry if that is an obvious thing or something, have just heard you need to update that seperatly or something.
BTW when you export to mp3, you get dialog with format selection, bitrate selection and then something where you can select on or off but I have no idea what that should be. Maybe normalization or limiting or something?
I have two complaints: 1) It seems that AI learning is just some kind of placebo. I tested it with various enviroments, noises, music... and I am getting the same result. 2) When you dont have headphones, you can set the imput gain volume too low so you actually record silence.
@tomecki@101010.pl @FreakyFwoof As to your second point, that's the way all their other recorders have worked for a while. Just bringing feature parity in line, I guess.
@Matthias @Tealk Hört sich genial an. Hatte mal angefangen ein Bash Skript zu bauen, das Friendica mit allem installiert. Aber wie das so ist mit der Zeit uns so.... Vielleicht sollte ich mich wirklich mal mit Ansible zu beschäftigen. Hab da sowas von überhaupt keine Ahnung....
Eig. müsst ich wohl jede software als eigenes Repo machen damit das andere auch einfach verwenden können, aber dann hätte ich so viel Codeduplication und Wartungsaufwand @feb
Solution to the alarm and many other apps and web pages that require slide, a gesture that is impossible with voiceover is the following. Go to settings, select accessibility, then select touch. Within the touch menu, simply enable the prefer single touch actions. In iOS 26, doing this allows me to effectively use the alarm like a normal person. If you do any stock or crypto trading and you aare required to slide to confirm transactions, enabling this option will stop that stupidity as well. An accessibility tip from the NER to you. Use it wisely if you need that kind of thing.
I'm pretty sure I'll regret making this, but upload your public monstrosity and let's see how it goes. Some fun may be had. I'll watch carefully for now 🕵️

@feld Running my own email server is probably why I couldn't receive the emails. I run my own server and it's stricter than most of the big companies' servers. Also, because I run my own server I was able to see the errors in the logs telling me why the emails weren't coming in, and change my config to grant exceptions to fix it.

Requests made via portal interfaces generally involve user interaction, and dialogs that can stay open for a long time. Therefore portal APIs don’t just use async method calls (which time out after...
flatpak, sowing: let's sandbox everything for security! flatpak, reaping: oh no we need a secure API for every high level desktop interaction people used to be able to do directly.
Just got a marketing kit from a blindness podcast in a rather inaccessible PDF. Not naming them now in hopes it'll be fixed, but definitely think about the optics if you out-source your marketing and don't have it checked for accessibility.

ahh yes, of course the problem that has been foiling my ability to make this automation continue to support Ubuntu 20.04 is because the Ubuntu package maintainers are outright unhinged.
When you install the Postfix package, it chooses to guess what your domain is if you don't have one set. Where do you guess your domain from? I don't know, let's just choose something from the /etc/resolv.conf

myfqdn() {
myhostname=$(hostname --fqdn 2>/dev/null || echo "")
# If we don't have a name with a dot (which includes ""), then we have work.
if [ $myhostname = ${myhostname%.*} ]; then
# If it's empty, and we have /etc/hostname, try that.
if [ -z $myhostname ] && [ -r /etc/hostname ]; then
myhostname=$(cat /etc/hostname)
fi
# If we are still lacking a domain component, then try resolv.conf.
if [ $myhostname = ${myhostname%.*} ]; then
if [ -f /etc/resolv.conf ]; then
# The resolver uses the last one found, and ignores the rest
mydom=$(sed -n 's/^search[[:space:]]*\.*\([^[:space:]]*\).*/\1/p;s/^domain[[:space:]]*\.*\([^[:space:]]*\).*/\1/p' /etc/resolv.conf | tail -1)
myhostname="$myhostname${mydom:+.$mydom}"
else
myhostname="$myhostname.UNKNOWN"

echo $myhostname
}
oh and to make things even worse, the comment says it picks the LAST one. But it's picking the first from mine:
Next someone's gonna be like "oh hey bro here's a simple GUI program I've known about for 8 years that does just that!" or something haha. Hey, it was worth the learning.
@Jage Does this work with more than mp3 files? The benefit with ffmpeg is that theoretically it works with most formats under the son. For example though entirely untested, the command I posted might work with video even, and likely loads of audio formats like vorbis, opus, flac etc. I'll have to play with it more tomorrow, right now it works great for what I specifically need and I'm worried about testing it more tonight because knowing me I'll break it and spend a pointlessly undo amount of time trying to make it more versatile instead of enjoying a relaxing night and sleeping well knowing that what I made just works lol. One of my most double edged traits.
Well there you go, that's one big advantage already, no don't work on it tonight :). I used what I had to trim extra long intros off songs to put on my radio station and that's about it.
@Jage certainly thanks for the info, obviously that insane command string I posted is not something that can be easily remembered combined with ffmpeg not being everywhere, so great to know about in a pinch.
@Jage Who knows I might even make a little GUI program myself out of it later, ffmpeg is a free open source program that can do what 100+ smaller very focused converter or multimedia manipulator programs could do together multiplied. The problem though is that it's entirely command line based and learning even a fraction of it's feature set can be highly exhausting depending on how far down the rabbit hole you go - I mean this thing can literally apply hrtf to audio in multiple hrtf database formats, stream something to an icecast server, rotate images, reverse audio while adding a hipass filter to it, concatinate/chunk audio, demux multitrack recordings, convert between any audio/video format you want - I'd exceed the post limit and it's all one ffmpeg.exe binary. I need to evaluate what all exists because many such gui's exist - I'm not the first to think of this by any means, but like we need an explorer context menu with loads of useful options that call into this binary complete with a UI progress display and other useful gadgets. So many people charge for audio converters that work with a few formats. One single freely distributable binary can do all that and a million other things at no cost, and I think the community could seriously benefit from a good UI to it.
Sounds like mine and @Arfy's cobbled together thing we call 'the SendTo Project' where we took a bunch of shortcuts, stuck them in the send to menu and allow you to convert between various audio files as easily as we could think of. There's hopefully a comprehensive readme that goes with it. 3.onj.me/programs/SendTo202508…
@Onj @Jage Thanks, I used to use this on the daily many years ago and had no idea it was still being updated! Perhaps I will play with it soon and see how much of it I can get to all use ffmpeg, because I'm pretty sure correct me if I'm wrong that aside from the included youtube-dl binary that ffmpeg can do the work of lame, oggenc2, opusenc, NeroAacEnc and maybe more. This package does not have a license attached, am I free to please use it as a base to improve upon for potential redistribution with original credits left in tact of course? My main goals would be to make everything possible use ffmpeg, then to make a little wrapper program that can show a status report and hopefully a progress bar in an optional UI window that the send-to options use, thus making the entire system more unified without terminal windows popping up after having clicked on a menu option in a GUI.
@Onj @Jage Honestly, if you're going to make an FFmpeg wrapper, you might be better using the various av libs, much easier to get progress and such from and doesn't require constructing arcane command lines, especially important for filtergraphs. Although I will always recommend QAAC and audiotoolbox over any other AAC encoder, potentially even Nero. FFmpeg's FDK is definitely not as good.
Sometimes I end up with a collection of *lossy* audio files that have silence at the beginning of them. I don't care about silence at the end usually but I do not like waiting to hear audio because the beginning of it is silent. When trimming silence though, I don't want to make a choice between storing the audio in flac (much larger filesize) or losing a generation of audio quality by reencoding the files with silence trimmed. I finally solved the problem for myself and anybody else who has xplorer2, ffmpeg and awk installed. If you installed git with git bash you likely have awk. I can now select several audio files in xplorer2, then press control+b to execute a command script. I simply paste the following very tragically messy sequence of batch commands into the template box and modify any of the variables at the top if needed before hitting alt+x, leaving me with copies of the selected audio files that have silence dynamically removed from the beginning of them without any reencoding! No idea what formats this all works on though probably quite a few, (tried M4A here). Have... fun? set silence_threshold=-60dB, set output_dir=output, set max_silence=10s, set presilence=0.030, set silence_min_duration=10ms, set silence=0, for /F "usebackq delims==" %%i in (`ffmpeg -hide_banner -i "$N" -t %max_silence% -af silencedetect^=noise^=%silence_threshold%:d^=%silence_min_duration% -vn -sn -dn -f null - 2^>^&1^|awk '$$4^=^="silence_end:"^^^&^^^&$$5^^^>%presilence%^^^{print^^^($$5-%presilence%^^^)^;exit^^^}'`) do @set silence=%%i, if not exist "%output_dir%" mkdir %output_dir%, echo silence for $N is %silence%, ffmpeg -hide_banner -v warning -i "$N" -y -ss %silence% -c copy "%output_dir%\$N"
Are you aware that any newlines were destroyed in this post? ALso, that is some true magical shit with FFmpeg right there. I knew about lossless codec trimming, although take care, it rounds to a block! So you might either end up with just a bit of silence, or having chopped off some audio...
@x0 I am not aware, because there are no newlines. In xplorer2, the command template accepts multiple commands split by comma. Also as for the block rounding, this is the purpose of that presilence variable. When silence is detected, we subtract presilence from the duration where it starts, then trim from there. This could probably be made a send to shortcut very easily, just by replacing $N with %1 or a filename and $$ with a single $ then comma space with newline to undo the xplorer2 specific stuff, making it a batch script and making a shortcut to it in the send to menu.
@Scott So I really love xplorer2. It has a couple of querks, but the tradeoff is... spectacular, at least in my opinion. It's very very fast. You can have as many folter tabs open in one window as you want. You can make a hotkey run a shell command, including bookmarking entire tab sets and jumping to the bookmarks with hotkeys. You can calculate subfolder sizes, show any column you want for a selected file from audio metadata to the certificate an executable was signed with, create new textfiles or new folders with a single keypress instead of a menu, paste text from your clipboard directly into a new file which you are then able to rename, I can select 12 files, hit ctrl+f11, jiggle my selection and do whatever and press f11 later, on a per-folder basis, to reselect the 12 files I'd selected earlier. You can create these temporary folder views called scrap pains where you can drop any file from any folder into - not actually copying the file, and now you have a folder view list with all your selected files from all over in one place. You have templatable mass renames that can access metadata columns, I could go on. It's amazing. But the thing to keep in mind is that though it is very accessible, it's kind of like a mini version of reaper if reaperaccessibility.com and theglobalvoice.info/reaper didn't exist, at least beyond basic usage. You might not like how it looks by default, it might take you quite a bit of tweaking to get it how you want, and a couple things you just can't fix E. I know someone who really hates the fact that if you press backspace in one folder, NVDA announces the wrong parent folder name at the backspace press, you won't fix that with a config option. I don't mind that because there are too many amazing features for me to care about jiggling up and down arrow once to review the folder I'm on, I probably remember it anyway. Most dialogs are just normal and accessible. The settings panel is no exception, accept that the developer implemented some strange arrow key navigation into it which must be used over tab just in the options dialog. I really love the thing honestly especially the more I discover about it, but either a good tutorial needs to exist for the new user (I might make one) or else the new user needs to be good at learning software and/or be prepared for a slightly long day getting it all working. That might be slightly untrue for just basic folder browsing, but there is a lot this thing can do much of it I missed for years.
@Scott Yeah I'd really appreciate a tutorial honestly. I see many people using it, but installed it like 5 times and couldn't get along. Kinda similar with Foobar ngl. Once you figure it out it's awesome. But, the way to it, uh... Especially the Xplorer^2 settings dialog is indeed quite weird.
@jonathan859 @Scott So the settings dialog is actually entirely accessible, but it doesn't use standard keyboard navigation. It's kind of like the dev was thinking of us and wanted to make it work but kinda wrote his own thing to do so instead of relying on the accessibility layer/standards that already work. Note that this weird navigation is not the case with most dialogs, only the options. So you open the options dialog, you'll be in the general category. You use up and down arrow to navigate what setting you are editing, press space to edit the setting, if it brought you to another control like a list or a textbox you can press escape to jump back to the setting list. To change categories, shift+tab once and the tree is accessible, just once you've selected your new category, tab once or twice until you hear the first setting (not the search field but directly after), and you can continue the same interesting up/down arrow navigation to change the settings in that category. Once done it is accessible to shift+tab to the OK button. So once you know those little details, it's actually a completely accessible dialog, just using quite nonstandard keys for whatever reason.
I wonder how many people actually write their own UI without relying on a toolkit or framework? This is the second time I heard of custom accessibility implementation, the other time was for ExplorerPatcher also: github.com/valinet/ExplorerPat… @jonathan859 @Scott
I hope everything is fine with everyone. First I would like to apologize, this text is translated, I am Brazilian and I speak only Portuguese. I am visually impaired and I use this application, as ...
Thanks for going into so much detail. Sounds like it'll be worth a shot here. Even if I just scratch the surface, having lighter, faster, more stable file navigation and tabs will be a win.
@Scott No problem, you'll find that I casually write long messages like that more often than I don't lolol, for whatever reason I'm a very long winded typist - I should check my typing speed after years of doing it. The blog posts I'd write for Survive the wild were like 50+kb of text sometimes and yet all my readers would just tell me to keep that up instead of to shush and write shorter :D point being if you decide to try it and need help, I'm happy to answer any questions in just as much detail haha.
@FreakyFwoof @Scott Unfortunately yes it does. While you are focused on the correct item in reality, NVDA speaks the wrong item and says not selected. If you quickly press up then down arrow though you'll see you are indeed focused on the correct item. I do wish the dev would fix it, but for me anyway it's extremely minor because not only do I usually know what folder I've come from but it's so easy to check my folder position anyway, making it a small ding in the polishing rather than an actual accessibility problem for me.
The mini scrap is useful when doing some operations so I don't have to worry about the selection, plus subfolders. Flattened view, select filters? I can just, select all the wav files in a folder or something.
@Scott One thing I find myself occasionally doing when I get new Cymatics packs uses xplorer² for certain. I go into all the subfolders, select all the files beginning with "Cymatics - " and press control+s to send them to the mini scrap. Once I've done all that, I shift tab to the mini scrap, select all, mass rename, and use a predefined preset that stripts that leading "cymatics - " from all the file names across dozens of folders with one click, then control+r to see it empty because all the files have been renamed.
@Scott Some people nitpick at the fact that only tab switches between panes, shift+tab does not, it goes to mini scrap unless that's disabled. And that unless you turn the address bar off, trying to do complex multiletter nav starts typing into it. When it's off though, and you unbind the default space keybind, I've proven multiletter nav up to 14 characters to function.
@x0 @Scott Oh yeah I just fixed that. Tab is just a custom keybinding you can alter however you want, same with shift+tab. Basically in the hotkey editor, you need to move to the section where all the key presets show as numbers. In there, if you use obj nav to go to the bottom of the dialog after focusing on a numbered shortcut, you'll see an actual description of it. Almost every keyboard shortcut in the program is properly labeled accept for those misc ones at the bottom where the label is just in the wrong place.
@Scott I don't mind it really, as there's only two panes. I should rebind the tab switch gestures though, right now is control alt left/right, I should make it either ctrl tab or just ctrl left/right, the current gestures don't work with JAWS or narrator due to table bindings.
@Scott For initial settings, I recommend changing from ribbons to menus, turning off the addressbar under view toolbar, unbinding space from the keyboard dialog, disabling redirect DOS command output to local console for accessibility, enabling natural number sort, removing the extension column in select columns (NVDA invoke on a column to move it between the two lists), setting the second pane style to details also and tweaking it to match your first, and some other settings I can't remember. Unfortunately, the advance settings editor is completely inaccessible.
