You can find the binary files sound files of the Mastodon beep sound at
They were created by [Wayback/Archive] Josef Kenny (blog: [Wayback/Archive] josef.one; Mastodon “i made that mastodon boop sound”: [Wayback/Archive] josef (@jk@mastodon.social) – Mastodon) early 2017 and updated with metadata later that year. In 2022 it became clear that using the sound is allowed as long as there is credit:

Interesting tiny battery powered remote Lavalier microphone with USB-C receiver: [Wayback/Archive] It’s Practically Invisible…
The video covers the Hollyland LARKM2S.
I wonder about other devices like it.

It has been a very long time since I played around with ripping audio from audio CDs and wrote software for audio handling. I lost access to that source code some 20 years ago, so part of this post is from memory. Hopefully that is still good memory (:
Yes, I am one of those old farts that still has computing equipment with optical drives (:
Much has improved since then, so one needs to write far less code nowadays as a of tooling is now open source or has been open source for quite some time. The hardest part was finding back CDex (which I think is still very useful especially as it handles not-so-well-handled audio CDs quite OK).
Anyway: I didn’t document much of my audio history. The only post I mentioned CDex in was Streaming your mp3 collection through an Icecast server using ezstream, which does not does it justice as back then it had been reliable for such a long time.
Funeral web-site
That web-site was horrible, especially as it was picky on audio formats. In the end, it handled 128-bit fixed bit-rate MP3 files best.

A while ago, within a week time, I got reminded of a project I did some 15 years ago involving low-latency audio using the .NET platform on Windows XP Embedded.
For that I used the BASS.NET wrapper classes and P/Invoke methods around the Un4seen BASS Audio Library.
Back in those days there was not much documentation about this, but now there is more.
Some starting points are:

[Wayback/Archive] FemFM – 〝50% vrouw in je oor, of we zappen door!〞 werd in 2024 gelanceerd vlak voor de Women’s History Month en Internationale Vrouwendag door Felienne Hermans.
Felienne is bekend van bijvoorbeeld haar promotieonderzoek naar de impact van Excel op de samenleving, maar vooral van haar drive te onderzoeken hoe zo veel mogelijk mensen – ongeacht hun achtergrond – kunnen leren programmeren), Joy of Coding, de Hedy programmeertaal (met veel support voor andere alfabetten dan wat we in de westerse wereld gebruiken) en haar boek The Programmer’s Brain: What every programmer needs to know about cognition.
Ze is enorm goed in haar werk, en komt daarmee regelmatig in aanraking met vooringenomenheid over vrouwen. Daar verbaast ze zich terecht over, en ook dat het lastig om content (op allerlei soorten gebieden) te consumeren gemaakt door vrouwen. Dat overkwam haar bijvoorbeeld bij het luisteren naar muziek op de Nederlandse radio: daar kwamen veel meer mannelijke artiesten aan bod dan vrouwelijke.
Vandaar FemFM, en Felienne zou Felienne niet zijn als de source code niet openbaar was, dus hier wat linkjes:

Given my health uncertainty, I am looking for maintainers for the fritzcap project (it captures calls from a Fritz!Box modem/router and is written in Python).
History
The fritzcap project was originally started in2007 by [Wayback/Archive] spongebob | IP Phone Forum, first as a binary fritzcap.exe Windows executable (see his first post at [Wayback/Archive] FritzBox: Tool für Etherreal Trace und Audiodaten-Extraktion | IP Phone Forum). In 2010 it became an open source Python project at [Wayback/Archive] Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

Given that Audacity became toxic last year, and I should have recovered enough to be both working again and having energy to do audio processing, I should install [Wayback] ardour – the digital audio workstation
[Wayback/Archive.is] Ardour repositories:
