  • I haven’t tried with Linux, but it is a standard USB mic: Samson Meteor.

    It’s $30-$40. It folds for travel. The audio quality is great. It can be mounted in an arm.

    A post on linux.org from May says:

    I bought a simple, cheap and cheerful usb mic - Samson Meteor condenser Microphone Analogue - and it all works great. Just plugged it in and away it went. I opted for a mic that didn’t need any drivers. Apparently only the cheap ones don’t come with drivers.







  • I’m upvoting (especially) because you included a bit of the article instead of just a link.

    It upsetting though because only an Al would be a good replacement: Al Franken or “Weird Al” Yankovic. And that’s unlikely to happen.

    Otherwise don’t bother. We’ve already got a “not Trump” candidate who is good enough for now. Get Biden elected, and continue putting pressure on the administration. We’re going to need something like a general strike to make any big changes anyway. We cannot rely on those currently governing to do it for us. Let’s at least prevent a christofascist dictatorship this election.


  • Using the UniFi WiFiman app on a gigabit fiber connection from my phone to a U6 Long-Range access point (802.11ax, 40 MHz, crowded suburban area, channel scanning each night with auto-select enabled), I’m getting 321 Mbps down and 402 Mbps up.

    For anything for which I care about getting the most speed within my network, I use Ethernet.


  • SpaceX has won the right to tackle a monumental task: destroying the International Space Station (ISS). The demolition will shove the iconic and enormous station down through Earth’s atmosphere in a fiery display. And if anything goes wrong, a cascade of debris could rain down on our planet’s surface.

    Conceived and built in a post-cold-war partnership with Russia, the ISS, like so many of NASA’s major projects, has lasted far longer than its initial design life of 15 years. Nothing lasts forever, however, especially in the harsh environment of outer space. The ISS is aging, and for safety’s sake, NASA intends to incinerate the immense facility around 2031. To accomplish the job, the agency will pay SpaceX up to $843 million, according to a statement released on June 26. The contract covers the development of a unique deorbit vehicle to usher the unwieldy ISS to its doom yet excludes launch costs.
