Does anyone know the terms for traditional in-ear earphones that sit slightly outside your ear canal vs the ones fashionable nowadays that you stick all the way in with foam or rubber caps? Cannot find any consistent names to distinguish these even though they are totally different.

I cannot use the ones you stick all the way inside, but it's really difficult to find search terms for the traditional kind. I've attached a picture as an example of the type I'm looking for.

Die Linke sammelt Unterschriften gegen Kürzungen im Dresdner Nahverkehr
Das Gute an der Politik in einer Demokratie ist, dass man ihr nicht machtlos ausgesetzt ist. In Dresden stehen momentan schmerzhafte Einschnitte bei den Dresdner Verkehrsbetrieben DVB zur Debatte. André Schollbach, Fraktionsvorsitzender der Partei Die Linke im Dresdner Stadtrat, hat nun ein Bürger*innenbegehr

@mosgaard @amadeus if you just want distraction-free editing, you may want to look at #VScodium [1], #neovim [2] or even #NvChad [3] for editing depending on how you feel like and what suits you best.

  • I recommend using #Markdown for Text *until you want to turn it into something printable (unless you know #LaTeX), but noone's gonna judge you if you prefer @libreoffice to get a script written.

If you want or need to switch computers rather often, consider buying a SATA-(or NVMe)SSD with DRAM-Cache and a matching external enclosure and install your #distro of choice on that instead, as unlike #Windows, basically all #Linux distros allow installations on external drives.
-Don't forget to use #FullDiskEncryption!

If you need to share your work with others or sync it across devices, consider @nextcloud / #nextcloud.

  • If you don't have any admin already in your organization.and it's permissible but you don't want to setup your own, consider @monocles / #monoclesOcean and @Stuxhost for a fully-managed Nextcloud at reasonable prices.

As for #audio I'm shure you know #audacity and #LMMS...

If you use the terminal rather often, consider setting up some nifty aliases to make things faster.

  • For example if you want to just check if something is reachable, i.e. internet / network connection works, consider adding function isup() { ping -a -b -c 1 -D "$@"; } to your .bash_aliases file in your $HOME directory so if you use i.e. isup duckduckgo.com it'll do a single run of ping to reach said domain/FQDN/IP...

But the final #ProTip I can give you is to #backup your $HOME-directory under /home/yourusername because in it's hidden subdirectories, espechally $HOME/.config/ are usually all the settings for your applications stored so in case you need to setup a new machine or restore one from backups, this is where all the minor changes of yours to make your system work best for you are being stored.

  • You may need to press Ctrl+H IN THE File Manager to see hidden files.

  • For backups, tools like #DéjàDup make it easy to setup, backup and restore your files as you want or need, including encryption and deduplication.

I hope that'll help you not only get started but also get the maximum efficiency out of your distro as a creative tool without fuss.

also, are there any #audio #fediverse apps? i feel like the concept of the fediverse lands itself well to having something like Spotify where you can share playlists and the music is federalized. i’m sure there’s a lot of legality that goes into this and it’s not as easy as i make it sound, but just curious.

🧵 5/n KDE is just as convenient as #Gnome; i can control / mute the #audio of a single #Firefox tab, then every subsequently opened tab will also be muted, even if the previously muted tab has been closed - that's a very desired behaviour!

👉 multi-tasking / multi-tabbing audio control 👍

edit: scenario - i'm listening to a talk-show/vod-cast, and don't want audio of other tabs, disturbing me. (requires setup - not complicated, mute the 1st, then it's "full-auto")

HAPPY WORLD HEARING DAY!
I make my living on my ears, and I've been really concerned by the data that shows increased rates of hearing loss in young people AND a disturbing correlation between hearing loss and degenerative brain diseases.

We should be doing a better job of protecting our hearing, and educating our kids to treat their ears better too.

Here's a thread to continue some of that chat!

But, what if someone created a template that everyone could use? What if all a SFZ creator had to do was append this template to the top of the SFZ text file that the instrument creator defined? What if this template not only made the SFZ instrument MIDI CC capabile, but also provided GUI controls to the Sforzando or Sfizz plugin? Wouldn't this make SFZ more expressive?

There is one drawback that people complain about with SFZ, and today I want to share a discovery I have made that resolves this one problem. Most SFZ instruments are unexpressive. This is not because of the format itself, but rather it is because of the difficulty of adding MIDI CC information into the SFZ instrument file.
