Have you tried building SDL programs with DirectFB or nano-x backends? They don't require you to have X Windows on your system. SDL 1.2.15 had good support for Linux framebuffer as well, but SDL 2.x doesn't have that option. I used to maintain a fork of SDL2 for the linux framebuffer, until the ...

The biggest difference for SDL2 is that the new more permissive license allows static builds. With musl libc and tinyx, that allows you to build apps with no dependencies that are sometimes smaller than the shared lib versions with dynamic gnu libc and xlib. This is because the compiler and linker ...

Espeak is text to speech... thought the original question was speech to text.

There are plenty of python bindings for pocket sphinx but I can't recommend a specific project since I have only used it in C directly. Hopefully the python bindings have simplified it a bit because the C ABI is almost ...

Carnegie Mellon has/had great speech speech synthesis and recognizition tools. I am most familiar with their Flite ( text2speech ) and pocket-sphinx ( speech2text )utilities. They're pretty light and have permissive licenses and c bindings which makes them useable in nearly any programming language.

You may want to goto archive.org for goingnuts most recent post .... did anyone archive the tarballs?

Ok, going from memory here typing on a phone, so beware of syntax, but it may simplify things

while read Line; do

set $Line #put "fields" into numbered variables
echo cell 1 is $1, cell 2 is $2, etc...

Reminded me of this old thread

Where I demonstrated 1 way to use your filesystem as a database using only a shell script... just a proof of concept

I use google to search the forum. Just append site:murga-linux.com to the search criteria i.e.

searched for text site:murga-linux.com
Unfortunately google ignores everything inside code blocks... unfortunately half of the comments that I may want to google are in code. We really need to upgrade ...

I'd suggest including lz4 compression also. Very fast (but relatively poor compression). lz4 -Xhc tends to be more like gzip for compression, but is slower (relatively speaking), so not really worth including that IMO when gzip is available (unless you want very fast decompression also), just the ...

Robert De Niro?

That's what LD_PRELOAD is for... once you reverse engineer what functions they are looking for. There's a similar project that adds GNU libc stuff to musl - I don't recall the name.

Back when flash player was a thing, I wrote a script to replace the version number in the plugin module to trick the players into thinking they had the latest version 99% of the time it still worked fine.

Something like that could be useful for the 32bit version of chromium.

Note: if you can prefilter fresh water, you can probably also use this to sanitize it with UV and heat to a great extent without losing all the minerals in a much shorter time.

You can make your own filter using a plastic bottle, cloth, charcoal, sand and rocks.

Is anyone interested in premade ...

I was checking out Barry's blog and his solar still project reminded me that I once made a solar still using a couple of old chip/crisp bags (the inside is reflective) a black garbage bag (dirty water side) and duct tape (rolled into hose).

It occurred to me that if done properly, my old hack could ...

Some practice porting C code to use vector extensions (from https://github.com/easyaspi314/xxhash-clean/blob/master/xxhash32-ref.c )
#include <stddef.h> /* size_t, NULL */
#include <stdint.h> /* uint8_t, uint32_t */
typedef uint32_t __attribute__ ((__vector_size__ (16))) u32x4t;
#define PRIME32_1 ...

As MochiMoppel has pointed out, you definitely need additional square brackets here. [^:digit:] is the same as [^:dgit] and it matches anything but 'g' and the other four characters.
So, if all you want to match is something like AAANNN where A is not a digit and N is, then this will do:

/([^0-9 ...

It may save you some time to test it here:

When you use parens, you can usually print out the matches with \N for debugging (where N is the Nth set of parens), I don't recall how to do it in awk though.

Where is the microphone icon for input / text?
Pocket Sphinx
and the speaker icon for translation?
Espeak or Flite

I had a thread with pocket sphinx continuous and associated bash helpers, but the binary itself got lost when the forum lowered the limit on file size.

There is no question on the re-usability of 0BSD, CC0, unlicense, WTFPL or similar public domain dedication. MIT, ISC and BSD have minimal requirements.

Only crap from the FSF makes it require an organization with a staff of lawyers to ensure compliance. Any license that is shitty enough that ...
