j_bertolottiDear <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/HiveMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HiveMind</a> Can you help me find an old blog (?) post describing the story of a <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LaserSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaserSafety</a> accident at a small company where people decided it was a good idea to take the <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/laser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laser</a> out in the car park without realizing their beam was hitting a car's door and reflected all around? 🙏

Something that can print out media stats like average loudness, or something like that]I have a directory with 3.5GiB of audio files (chiefly opus & m4a) which are spoken word recordings.Some of them are quite low, and some of them are quite dynamic such that it's a whisper at times and nearly a shout at other times.I've processed a lot of them with <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/audacity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#audacity</a>'s compressor filter or <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ffmpeg</a> (<code>ffmpeg -i audio.m4a -filter:a "speechnorm=e=50:r=0.0001:l=1" audio-normalized.m4a</code>), but there are some unprocessed files in the collection, which are a pain to individually find and fix.Is there a way from the <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/commandline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommandLine</a> to detect the loudness and/or dynamic range of audio files so that I can automatically flag them for processing with ffmpeg?Thanks!!<a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/audio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#audio</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/sound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sound</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/soundengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoundEngineering</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/hivemind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HiveMind</a>

FishercatI'm looking for advice.I'm considering trying to cook chicken breast in something like a double boiler for a sous vide effect, minus the microplastics. I want to try this because I cook large enough quantities at once that it's hard to ensure all of it's thoroughly cooked, and none is overcooked. I know the "correct" answer is to not overfill the pan. I don't have the spoons to do that.

Plague Island Resistance<a href="https://todon.eu/tags/HiveMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HiveMind</a> So my boss has 'invited' me to a client facing Teams meeting.This is not a normal part of my job, not something I'm comfortable with and definitely not something I want to happen again...So... Any ideas on how to sabotage the meeting? The sweet spot obviously is the boss deciding not to invite me again while staying on the side of me not getting sacked. At this point I am looking at ways to fry the router. 🤣

Moss Wizard<a href="https://beige.party/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HiveMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HiveMind</a> I am trying to identify two short (under 30 minutes) movies I saw on amazon about 5-10 years ago. They were both dystopian speculative fiction, not quite <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> but I think that’s the search term that fed them to me.First was I think from northern UK, and it featured an orphanage school for special children who were kept isolated from the rest of society. They seemed normative, but the public viewed them as creepy aberrations. For Christmas they got a donated load of broken toys and other old cast off junk, and each year they looked forward to “a bumper crop” of that. “I hear it’s a bumper crop!” The children were being raised for a shocking purpose.Next one featured a post-apocalyptic society of hunter gatherers, living in the jungle and hunting with spears made from old industrial parts. Every month a drone flew over and dropped a shipping crate of consumer goods like sneakers. One day a brave heroic girl decides to catch a ride on the drone to see where it comes from, and why they keep delivering these shipments.

R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵Update: a cheap "HDMI passthrough *sink* dongle" might just be the fix for this Thanks to <a href="https://mastodon.social/@metaning" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@metaning</a> for the idea! ---------------------------------------- Yo <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/nerdfriends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nerdfriends</a>, Is there any way to make Linux wait *longer* for an HDMI monitor to wake back up? What happens a lot of times is that my laptop monitor will wake up, HDMI monitor will *start* to wake up, but by the time it actually becomes fully available, the desktop has given up on it and re-sized all of my windows to fit within the smaller resolution of the laptop monitor. It's... annoying.

Schalk Neethling<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/JavaScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JavaScript</a> question: When using event delegation, one often runs into the situation where a button can contain both a span and an SVG.

Rachel has moved...!If I record myself reading a copyrighted book and share the recording with some friends (for free), is that copyright infringement?If so, can I claim fair use by, idk, dressing up in a funny outfit or something and turning the reading into a performance art piece, which I then record and share?Is it copyright infringement to extract the audio from said recording of such a performance art piece and share that?

maxsidmanHey <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/HiveMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HiveMind</a> and <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a> fans/users… Does anyone use the Stories function in Signal? And if so what’s your take on it? I’ve got a growing number of friends and contacts on the app (finally) and am intrigued by, but not yet sold on, the prospect of using Stories to share moments (in lieu of similar time-bound post types on corpo social apps that I’m not on anymore). Thoughts and ideas welcome. Thanks in advance.

Curtiss Grymala (he/him/his)Quick <a href="https://higheredweb.social/tags/Analytics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Analytics</a> question for the <a href="https://higheredweb.social/tags/hivemind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hivemind</a> I noticed that GA4 uses a "traffic_type" parameter to allow you to exclude/include batches of visits. The docs tell you to set up a tag that adds that parameter based on IP addresses.However, if I'm trying to filter automated actions coming from 100s of IPs, can I include `?traffic_type=uptime` rather than trying to figure out how to add their IP adds?Is a query param acceptable, or does it have to be an internal Analytics parameter somewhere?
