Hello all! My name’s Evan, and I’m starting development on an idea I had a few years ago. The Synharmonium is (going to be) a microcontroller-based synthesizer with control elements based on the accordion and the Suzuki Omnichord, and an algorithm to solve the centuries old musical problem of versatile just intonation.

Today we are sorry to announce that we are not able to bring the Libera Chat bridge back online. We have already begun working through clean up tasks, such as clearing ghosts, and expect to be done by December 22. If you see any bridge artifacts left past that point, please let us know....

I’ve used sleek as my primary todo.txt UI for a while now, and I’m really happy with it. If you are interested in a simple, but useful way to put together a todo list in plaintext, the todo.txt spec is a great way to handle it, and sleek is by far the nicest GUI I’ve found....

Does anyone have any experience with this file manager? Is it similar to Keep It or Devonthink for Mac?

Hello folks!...

For those that aren’t familiar, Anki is a very popular multi-device flashcard app with spaced repetition. It’s one of those FOSS apps that’s fairly popular even outside the tech/FOSS community, and it is used by a lot of (most?) med students, pre-med students, etc. It’s definitely the best flashcard software out there....

Titan Tactics came out in 2020 as a jam game made with Godot. It’s a simple tactics game inspired by the likes of FF Tactics and Fire Emblem and it’s made to look like it came out in the PS1 era, with sprites and simple 3D backgrounds. Since its initial release, development has happened on and off....

I’ve got a Sony android TV and it… Kinda sucks with the constant 'reccommended content’s (ads). Every update just adds more scrolling shit I don’t want to see.I want to know what different programs I can try out, and maybe a different os I can put on it. I’m looking at smarttubenext currently, and I want to know of...

I’m trying to move away from a fitbit, once in a while I forget to charge it and I have to install the app and fork over all of my data to fitbit to set the time....

I wonder whether Sony has ever contributed anything to FreeBSD codebase or the FreeBSD foundation.
