brcon2025: Recordings/Slides day 2, Jamsessions.

Today is a special day, it's my (20h) birthday. So we did something
special.

First of all, we are increasing speed of recording to online. All is
online now, in just 10 minutes.

You will realize, there is some "Jam Sessions".

We visited the Zuse Computer Museum in Hoyerswerda and the Schwarze Pumpe
coal power plant, one of the biggest coal power plants in Europe, today.
It was exciting, to see old computers and you could even touch single
bits!

To try out a format proposed by subline, we did a simple jam session in
the car, a zusejam, where we make jokes and language fun of what we
experienced! Have the same joy we had!

Additionally, out of random event, subline was on a Toronto, Canada
suburb train and joined into mumble, so we had a first tryout of such a
trainjam. You can listen to result.

After the secret talk I made a second session to explain why we do this.
It is a new format, plus the automation allows easier publishing,
reducing the burden on maintenance people and moderators.

There is also the revelation of our new feature, the auto transcription
using the new gpu server / secret project to transcribe the audio to txt.
So expect results based on how well we have spoken and the accent. It
should be usable for blind and other impaired people. Plus for text unix
people it reduces time to grasp, if listening is worthwhile. It is a
feature youtube is missing but bitreich implemented first!


See you tomorrow for gopher fun!

Keep on hacking the planet!

Sincerely yours,

20h
