I clicked the link with nothing better to do, and woa, that's a really good maps app. Like, "I haven't seen something like this before" levels of good. Reorients itself with my phone, accurately - and in real time, not after I'd already walked ten steps in that direction. With other maps, I thought that maybe my phone's compass is broken. The default but optional 3D top-down view is the most comprehensible-looking map I've seen in a long time. It barely uses disk space, and going by my short experience with it, it really is very light on the battery.
Exceptional, this is what I'm using from now on. Just hope the iOS 15 support is maintained, that's a killer app to keep perfectly good devices productive even after they're restricted from everything else :)
Happy to have made you discover something cool :-)
> 3D top-down view is the most comprehensible-looking map I've seen in a long time
The 3D top-down view with building heights is possible thanks to OSM providing this data, thanks to people improving the map with apps like Street Complete and Every Door. Make sure to check them out :-)
There's with this 3D view though: it sometimes hides streets. I usually end up disabling it at some point.
So, those mythical IPv6-only internet users actually exist :) That's some great network engineering.
I once needed something like that for the perhaps more common inverse purpose, to work on something IPv6 from within my happy IPv4-only connection. A more limited, but quicker solution given full control of a server - I set up a SOCKS5 proxy, using:
ssh -D 1080 -N myserver
and set my browser to use it. I think that it could also be set system-wide, but wonder if that might break the original ssh connection, holding it all up :)
Hey that's a superb source, pairing a colorful visualizer with something like The Death of Ase seemed counterintuitive at first, but after trying, I think it actually works really well! Shall append to that readme, thanks :)
Mic input as a source, that would probably also be the simplest workaround to support for streaming services not really being possible, just direct the mic at the speaker :) So yeah, on the list, hardest problem: how to attach it to that wonky UI...
Hi there! You know the drill, long-time lurker, creating an account only now, posts a link... But I thought you might enjoy this :)
And "this" is Goom, a music visualizer; originally created by Jean-Christophe Hoelt, with releases between 2001 and 2005, it's one of these wowzer-amazing visualizers of old that have somehow fallen from their height of popularity into near-total oblivion, such that the youngins here may not have known them at all... I feel like I almost missed the window myself!
So when I found out that VLC actually supports so much more than boring bouncing bars, and that from within the selection, Goom closely resembles the effects I remember from my childhood, _and_ that sure, it is in VLC, it must be FOSS... Figured I could get it working on the web, and did just that!
So, just drag and drop a music file, and watch the magic unfold :) Watch also the battery, as it doesn't use WebGL or anything like that for acceleration; mind you, it should still be _fast_, otherwise check that your browser is not slowing it down on purpose - I actually saw Edge do this, says that it's because this is a relatively unknown domain, and now you know one reason why I'm posting it here :-)
