[#LETTURE] Stefano Benni, "La battaglia del letame",

Ho conosciuto Benni, come allora firmava i suoi articoli, sulle pagine del quotidiano il manifesto, nella seconda metà degli anni settanta.

Da allora la lettura dei suoi racconti, romanzi e poesie mi ha accompagnato per quasi 50 anni, anche a scuola nelle mie letture ad alta voce in classe.

Per ricordarlo ho scelto di leggere "La battaglia del letame", un brano che fa parte dell'articolo "Diario di una campagna elettorale a Bologna" inserito nel libro Il Benni furioso pubblicato nel 1979 da il manifesto.

Breve spiega, per chi per ragioni anagrafiche non avesse dimestichezza con le elezioni degli anni '70.
Covelli era un esponente monarchico, segretario di Democrazia nazionale, una scissione moderata del MSI.

Lucio Magri è stato uno dei fondatori del manifesto rivista e gruppo politico, segretario del Partito di unità proletaria per il comunismo e ha avuto una parte importante nella mia formazione e militanza politica.

I feel like everybody who has a turntable probably has a copy of Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells". But is yours designed for people with four ears? SQ quadrophonic format

"It was important for me to have this lead character who’s going through it and is not being pretty and sweet and nice about it.”

So happy to announce this partnership! I've partnered with Sean Crisden to provide his backstage pass folks with audio recordings of my blog posts! This is how he's able to financially narrate these posts, so pick a slot, and subscribe! The first will be a Sensual Exploration of Chocolate, and then an introduction to my work, so check out https://seancrisden.com/pages/backstage-pass#Audible#Audio#Audiobook#Audiobook#Blog#Blogs#IndieWeb

Here's another one for the #blind#hiveMind primarily, but feel free to chime in if you have a good idea.
For an upcoming video/stream, I am looking into video editing as a #screenReader user. I'd like to cover both #mac and #windows and am curious what solutions have worked well for people in the past.
Conditions are no mouse usage at all, app needs to be screenreader-compatible, ideally somewhat full-featured both for #audio and #video.
Be it #iMovie, #Clipchamp, #quicktime, #reaper, a dreaded #AI tool, tell me thy success stories, thy struggles and thy findings! 😊 #accessibility

Dodge the dodgy #AI infested corporate #streaming services and zoom out, as on the #fediverse we own the stream. Here are platforms that offer #streaming of #video or #audio in real time or near real time, with live chat and other #social capabilities.

On the fediverse our 💜 #lifestreams meet people and humanity and we engage our favorite fedi crowds. Fedi is where outreach matters.

Dear sound/audio folks and engineers,

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 #audacity's compressor filter or #ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i audio.m4a -filter:a "speechnorm=e=50:r=0.0001:l=1" audio-normalized.m4a), but there are some unprocessed files in the collection, which are a pain to individually find and fix.

Is there a way from the #CommandLine to detect the loudness and/or dynamic range of audio files so that I can automatically flag them for processing with ffmpeg?

Thanks!!

As promiced, I wrote a blog post about how to create NAM #audio files using ardour on #FreeBSD (although not FreeBSD specific). https://meka.rs/blog/2025/04/15/neural-amp-modeling/
