I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

It runs in or in a headless environment and is easy to configure a local apt-mirror repository, link persistent images, customize package lists, and so on. I've been daily-driving this on my laptops/desktops/servers for 2 years.

A nice perk of using a configuration like this is that it eliminates the need to upgrade your system and be concerned about migration issues. To upgrade, simply re-flash the boot drive to the newer OS version and use the same script to configure it.

I created a tool to make it easy to customize a Live environment for real-world use, enabling optional persistence and numerous quality-of-life improvements to an immutable OS. Boot up, run the script, and you're done.

Battle for Wesnoth  

I'm happy to formally announce that Wesnoth has joined Software in the Public Interest (SPI) as an associated project.

SPI is now the legal entity responsible for keeping track of money donated to Wesnoth as well as Wesnoth's trademark rather than Wesnoth Inc, which costs significantly less than what it did to have Wesnoth Inc's taxes filed.

Additionally, donations to Wesnoth are now tax deductible for donors in the US and can now be made via the Donate button on spi-inc.org/projects/wesnoth/.

As someone who has held a variety of tech roles, it's near impossible to align even the majority of my expertise and interests within a single job title. Job hunting has got to be my least favorite thing ever.

published an objectively solid review of vs (& a little ). If you're in the camp of owning and your own media server, I hope you check it out! Also, if you're interested in contributing, Joshua Boniface (Jellyfin's project lead) also left a video comment describing several technical and non-technical ways to get involved.

some quick testing makes me confident that amlogic A311D is another interesting SoC upgrade candidate for MNT Reform (and Pocket) for the future (if there are no surprises with DSI). 4x A73@2.2GHz + 2x A53@1.8GHz is neat, plus Mali G52 which is well supported by panfrost.

F-Droid  

Have you heard about #ReproducibleBuilds? This is one of the biggest #security benefits of #FOSS. On #Android, this technique ensures that the #FDroid version of an app exactly matches the developer's version.

Read our article below for more details and to see how easy it is for developers to get set up:

Is there any way that I can embed a toot into an article I'm writing, the way I can with tweets and FB posts?

Hey there. I've been missing my music tech friends in London and Berlin, so I'm starting a new series of events for sound hackers here in Portland, OR.

Join the meetup group below if you're into messing about with sound. I'll set up streaming for the talks and performances, so there is no need to be local!
