Dear @c3voc Once again: Thanx for your excellent work @ #39c3! π
And some constructive feedback on #Audio: I saw a user complaining about the Intros of recorded talks being too loud.
Did some measurements. (Perceived) Integrated Loudness compared:
βΆοΈ 1h Talk without Intro/Outro:
-24.1 dB LUFS
βΆοΈ 15sec Intro-Part:
-12.3 dB LUFS
Intro = nearly 12dBs louder than actual talk β that's a lot!!
For a more pleasant experience I'd recommend aiming for similar LUFS levels i.e. β€6dB difference.

It's my first day on Mastodon, so I'm starting by introducing my cats.
This is Max. He's a black cat so photos are tricky - but here's one where he looks like he does in reality: the single most beautiful cat in the world (if you don't count all the other beautiful cats, which is all cats)

Because unlike commercial social media, fediverse doesn't attempt to silo you with people in the same linguistic & geopolitical bubble to make you more lucrative to advertisers and less of a threat to nationalists.
Vondelkerk in Amsterdam is burning down, neighbourhood is being evacuated π
Help from neighbouring cities was called in because the local firefighters were also very busy with people being assholes with fireworks π
Gotta wonder if the two are related, heh.

This year I have exclusive buckets for the four particulate matter sizes. That means e.g. PM2.5 does not include PM1, which better allows understanding the intensity of the various particle sizes.
We're just shy of 5pm now, and you can clearly observe that people already started launching their fireworks here and there.
