Mechanical keyboards often need to pay more attention to Linux support because manufacturers see developers as a little too niche and difficult to make a product which works. Now, Launch Heavy aims to fix those issues at a price. [05:33] schestowitz Released this week, the Launch Heavy is a Numpad-equipped version of the earlier 84-key Launch. The Launch Heavy's 105 keys aren't in a traditional layout. System76 had its way with the keys to the left of the numpad, getting rid of some completely. The Launch Heavy adds keys above the numpad for media control. [05:33] schestowitz Unfortunately, there still need to be buttons for controlling the volume but you cant have everything.

[09:17] schestowitz[09:18] schestowitzobarun stands for OpenboxRunit but has been the home for arch based s6 implementation with tools (currently 66) to make s6 less hostile to MOST users of linux. Runit only lasted a few weeks before s6 was implemented and runit dumped. Currently featuring a graphic installer of base, openbox, jwm, xfce4, and plasma desktops and a setup of s6/66 to get you going.
[09:17] schestowitzjoborun stands for JwmOpenBoxObarunRunit, so it is everything Obarun can be, plus runit that can coexist and alternatively boot instead of s6/66, but also replaces most core Arch pkgs with ones built in vaccuum of systemd/logind/udevd. Currently not including an installer, or an iso image, but an old fashioned tarball of the base and instructions on how to make it a bootable system within minutes. Joborun is [09:17] schestowitz basically a source based distro, although it provides 2 tarballs, base system, and builder system, and binary repositories of all packages it provides source for. You always need a binary system to build your binaries, joborun just makes the process easier and quicker, without frustrating fails.

[09:21] schestowitz[09:21] schestowitzWere ages past the time when a YouTuber could get away with sloppy camera work. If someone wants to achieve any level of success making videos today, they need near-professional camera equipment. But even that equipment isnt enough if its still used for static shots. Many makers build sliders and other rigs, but James Bruton skipped those small steps and jumped straight to a versatile robotic [09:21] schestowitz camera operator.

[09:23] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.dedoimedo.com | SimpleScreenRecorder - Does as the title says [09:23] schestowitz[09:23] schestowitzLet's start with a spoiler. Recording one's desktop in Linux is a fairly easy task. There are tons of tools that can do the job. Over the years, I've tested perhaps half a dozen of them, and even wrote a bunch of articles, both tutorials and reviews, right here on Dedoimedo. But I last did that in anger around 2010-ish. An infinity ago in Internet terms.
[09:23] schestowitzIndeed, it has been quite a while since I last had an actual need to record my Linux desktop session screen. But the need did arise, and I wondered whether to go back to my oldies and hopefully still goldies or start from scratch. I opted for the latter, as it makes for a better blog post material. So let's have a look at a lovely little program called SimpleScreenRecorder, which will be our hero savior of the day. [09:23] schestowitz

He achieved this by first creating a new Edge Impulse project and gathering samples for four classes of sound: OK, anomaly 1, and anomaly 2, as well as general background noise. After designing an impulse and training a classification model on [09:29] schestowitz the samples, he was able to achieve an impressive accuracy of about 95% on the test samples.
