# spotify_focuser.applescript
# An AppleScript script that decreases Spotify volume while you're not using work related apps and websites.
# by Samuel Mortenson

# To install, download this script and open it in Script Editor, then select File > Export and export the script as an Application with "Stay open after run handler" checked. Now you can run the exported Application and GET BACK TO WORK!
# You shouldn't normally run random AppleScript or give it permissions, so uh read the code first before doing something dumb.

# Other notes:
# - Volume is only changed when a song is playing
# - Volume does not change while Spotify is open, to stay neutral about whether or not that is work related

Just had to debug yum returning a 503 on a server deep in a private network, but curl worked fine. Was able to use tshark and pipe it to my local wireshark and re-assemble the HTTP request that finally told me it was blocked by the internet gateway and who to email!

Here is the command that piped in realtime the tshark dump to my local wireshark GUI. Don't worry about the CLI filter because we can just use display filters to get what we want. Then find a GET packet, right click and "Follow" > TCP||HTTP Stream

ssh user@host 'sudo /usr/sbin/tshark -i eth0 -f "port !22" -w -' | wireshark -k -i -

Ahh, the only reason this worked was because the URL was http. Need to figure out how to do https now.

Veterans from all eras are reacting to the events in Afghanistan, such as the U.S withdrawal and the takeover by the Taliban.

You are not alone. Veterans may question the meaning of their service or whether it was worth the sacrifices they made. They may feel more moral distress about experiences they had during their service. It’s normal to feel this way. Talk with your friends and families, reach out to battle buddies, connect with a peer-to-peer network, or sign up for mental health services. Scroll down for a list common reactions and coping advice.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It's come to my attention that some people have been spamming issue trackers with a link to this gist. While it's a good idea to inform people of the situation in principle, please do not do this. By all means spread the word in the communities that you are a part of, after verifying that they are not aware yet, but unsolicited spam is not helpful. It will just frustrate people.

A number of things have happened since the last update.

Pipewire is the replacement for JACK and PulseAudio, Pipewire allows low latency compared to any pulseaudio tweaks

Here is a short list of what you should do to get the lowest latency in Osu!

Higher audio rate equals less latency always, unless you increase your quantum
to calculate node latency for your audio device take the quantum size divided by your audio rate
so 64/96000 = 0.00066666666 * 1000 = 0.6ms this is 0.6ms node latency

To check client latency use pw-top, take the quantum size and the audio rate of the client then use quantum / audio rate * 1000
to get overall latency for the client

This gist lists challenges you run into when building offline-first applications based on IndexedDB, including open-source libraries like Firebase, pouchdb and AWS amplify (more).

Note that some of the following issues affect only Safari. Out of the major browsers, Chrome's IndexedDB implementation is the best.

Backing file on disk (WAL file) keeps growing (Safari)

When this bug occurs, every time you use the indexeddb, the WAL file grows. Garbage collection doesn't seem to be working, so after a while, you end up with gigabytes of data.

Random exceptions when working with a large number of indexeddb databases (Safari)

If you're using a high-end bluetooth headset on your Macbook Pro it's likely your mac is using an audio codec which favors battery efficiency over high quality. This results in a drastic degradation of sound, the SBC codec is the likely culprit, read more about it here.

Find out what codec you're using

1. Play a song on your headphones
2. Option (⌥) click the Bluetooth button at the top of your screen
3. If you're using AAC or aptX, you can stop here—those are the highest quality codecs.

Change your codec to AAC or aptX
