Since I'm celebrating my 35th birthday today, I wanted to give you a little birthday gift. 🎉
I've launched a brand new interface for my music library! You can now download tracks in both FLAC and MP3, or grab the entire collection as a FLAC or MP3 bundle.
Hope you enjoy it! I would like also thankt to all who donated. The content is the same, I will add more stuf later. ondrosik.sk/music #cc #freemusic

Damn, spent a few hours trying to scrape a website using python requests to find out error 104 connection reset by peer is caused by their server software only speaking ancient TLS ciphers. Ended up writing custom SSL adapter accepting all the protocols.
It's a pity it took me so long to figure it out.

#AudioMo day 4. Showing off an audio clip from the ambience genorater on my website. It's a 3d binaural engine that genorates synthesis. The key is I think b flat, the scale is yo, a japanese scale. I think that's correct, it's been a while since I made this recording. Basicly the gist is, choose your world, choose scale and key, click genorate. It'll genorate a random latin sounding name too! It's based off of "syngen" an engine coded in js by this person named shift backtik. Would definitely recommend finding out more. In the meantime, if you want a direct link to my website, try www.gigasoundproject.com

@jonathan859 @ZBennoui It's not a skill issue, it's a don't give a damn issue. Also I may have to do something since I'm thinking of how to make this mobile friendly. I mean it already works on Android with a controller, but there's more than could be done for a native experience on both.

I have found out recently that it's possible to add call recording to modern android versions by using shizuku with some 3rd party apps. The one I like the most is Call recorder by skvalex from callrecorder.skvalex.com/get . Tested on android 16.

However this is not yet tested, I'm also thinking it might be doable to repackage the OTA image by adding BCR (basic call recorder) as a system app using github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroo…

This sounds kind of scary as I don't want to break security of my @GrapheneOS install. But I'd enjoy having BCR as a system app.

There is a domain audio.pub. It's for sale. My initial though was that it's cool to have such a domain name, the price is about $5...
This sounded like a nice idea until I have realized I misread the price and it's a premium domain for 5000 dollars.

@ondrosik @NV Access Also there is Equalize editor that is a web app. It allows linear editing of math in various input modes including braille mode, qwerty mode, home row mode that allows entering braille on a computer keyboard. It works with screen readers to provide speech and braille, it can generate nemeth braille, mathml. For browsing mathml output screen reader support or mathjax in the browser can be used. As input it takes ascii math, latex, and mathml. It looks very robust.

The equalize editor is at lakepinesbraille.com/ee/

There is a little discrepancy with the #Foobar2000 mobile v2.26 beta that it display url encoded file names when browsing webdav shares that are not indexed into its media library. I am using it like this when playing my audio books / audio drama. If you are using Foobar 2000 mobile on android for playing media from webdav remotes, perhaps you can support my wish so this will be looked into at some point.

#marschine 07 They Flipped the Call, featuring @FreakyFwoof and @raywonder on the sample chop, which is a derivative of the Nokia ringtone. The iconic Nokia tune is based on a 19th-century guitar piece by Francisco Tárrega. Nokia licensed it in 1994, and it debuted on the Nokia 2110. By the late ‘90s, it was the world’s most-heard melody, ringing billions of times daily. Now it will ring in your head all day.

On thursday I managed to help a friend to update his #mikrotik #routerBoard G750 running ancient version of #routerOS from v3.29 to the latest Router OS version v7.20.8.
No hacking, no 3rd party software required. I had to do the upgrade in multiple steps for each major version upgrade seperate but still I am seeing this as a huge surprise.
I can run up to date software on par with todays security standards, even run services that were not available at the time of producing that device e.g. #wireguard. #tech #networking

For those using ReFX Nexus: Some presets which consist of drum loops (mostly hollywood percussion loops) don't play all loops. e. g. every single note should trigger one associated loop but there is just one single loop triggered by every note. ReFX staff reproduced it and it should be fixed soon. It is probably broken in last latest version, I can reproduce it after last update.

Perhaps you remember I am occassionally running #emacs on android with speechd-el and espeak-ng providing speech output. Up to now I was using termux for doing that.
Now I'm trying to get it to run on a pixel 9A with @GrapheneOS and the terminal app with #avf under the hood.

The thing is I'd like to get more up to date packages in that virtualized environment running on my phone. I'd prefer #ArchLinuxARM based image or #Debian testing. Upgrading it by following debian's instructions I am getting broken image. I have found there's nixos-avf however I can't find more.

Do you know if someone has succeeded building other images that might help me to get to my goal easier?

Dear friends, screen reader users, teachers and assistants.
I am trying to find out what tools can I use to create math content. I know #mathml is supported accross variety of screen readers and browsers but that seems to be only one side of the puzzle and that is reading.
How do I as a student collaborate on math content with my teacher and the other way round, how do I as a teacher create accessible math assigments for my student allowing them to complete it with a screen reader?

For this answer let's explore that both student and teacher are blind or visually disabled or teacher is sighted, student is blind. How to collaborate?

When I was in college over a decade ago, I used MathType Equation Editor to convert from Microsoft's equation objects to and from LaTeX. Hopefully there are good options now, especially since mathematics wasn't even my field back then.
