I used it in the middle of (light) bavarian forest, and it worked quite well. It had some misdetections, but overall it worked to identify all birds I could hear. Don’t know how well it works in the middle of a city, or in other parts of the world.

But if you remind me in about four weeks, I can give a review of how it worked out in southeast asia.

Tried it with 3.7.0, but somehow the app stopped working, and I’ve continued using Ultrasonic, but will give Tempo another try, as soon as 3.8.0 is available on F-Droid. Liked the Tempo-UI more, than Ultrasonic’s.

I have an HDD with… I think 4 TB laying around. What would be the best option? To just plug it into the server and leave it there?

Thank you, I’ve downloaded the .md for my Obsidian notes :-) Great starting point!

Thank you for sharing this article! This prevented me from working on projects and software. Not only FOSS projects should refrain from using Discord. Community-driven projects like Skywind are barring themselves from helping hands, they desperately need, by using proprietary, privacy-threatening software as their way of communication.

Hello, Audio Engineer with some little knowledge regarding AI here.

What you think of is restoring frequencies, this is possible, and commonly used in plugins for audio restaurization. I might be mistaken, but this does not improve the bitrate, but the perceived quality (which is still lossy).

I don’t think that there is a real interest to upscale quality (not perceived quality), especially for longer (> 1 minute) material.

I’m on GrapheneOS since a few years now, started out with a second-hand Pixel 3A, moved to a Pixel 6, and am now on a Pixel 8 Pro.

GrapheneOS works great for my needs, and the sandboxed Google Play feature comes in handy if you really need to use an infested app, on another profile.

NFC works for me though, without an issue.

Yeah, it has its flaws, yet it is still under development. I’m not sure what to think of the idea of renaming the game though, Fruity Game is such a wonderful name!

Lost over an hour of my life because of Fruity Game. Amazing game :D

Yes, lovely game design. Need to dig into the latest update, as the patch notes state - Improved Mango

I got so stuck on Fruity Game for over an hour, before I could even get up off toilet. :'-)

Why did you measure inside the cabinet? Don’t you want to dampen the perceived noise outside of the cabinet?

Physically speaking, 3 cm will absorb all frequencies above 12000 Hz, and dampen everything beneath at least a bit, ignoring the absorption capatbilities of the material. I’m no expert in the field of material sciences, I just know by word and experience (insert “trust me bro” here) that its absortion capabilities are really good.

It will lessen the perceived sound by a measure, but do not believe, that all sound will be gone. But a 3 cm-thick paddening all around will to a good job.

Think twice about glueing. Glue is nasty to remove, maybe just push cut-to-size pieces inside of the ducts to make them fit? You could make ones, which you make snug around the cables leaving the cabinet?

Regarding sound proofing:

Measure the loudness level in dB (A) [the A is important, don’t get measurements in just “dB”], and if possible check the frequency spectrum. RoomEQ Wizard is a free software, that does a great job. Otherwise, an app with similar possibilites does the job aswell, and you don’t need to hassle with an external microphone.

This is important, so you can check which frequencies produce the most noise, thus you can proof more effectively. Example given, you’ve got a noise level of 120 dB (A) around 100 Hz, you would work on this task differently, as if you’ve got 70 dB (A) around 1000 Hz.

The higher the frequency, the shorter are the wavelengths, which leads to thinner dampening methods needed. The lower the frequencies are, the bigger the more absorbant the material should be.

Regarding non-flammable materials with good absorbation, check out Basotect, which you can buy and cut to your needs.

Currently I’m using Dashy, which has great features, but I fail to make it accessible through my Reverse Proxy, as I would like to have my Dashboard “on the go”.

Aaah, Tenacity finally released! Yaaaaaaaas

Yeah, the development for the Pine products take their time, but I wouldn’t want to trade my PineTime for something else. Great gadget for an incredibly low price!

But do you really wanna miss out on those sweet Twitch drops? /s

Ardour is open-source, but I couldn’t get to work with it.

I highly recommend Reaper from all the proprietary DAWs out there.

My SO has to work with Audition professionaly, and it is a pain in the ass. What are you doing with it, that you are able to find love for it?
