I wonder why @aranet_home 's app needs my location in order to start detecting my device via Bluetooth, and why it needs to contact those external companies. Sentry is possibly for crash reporting, but my app didn't crash.

We are thrilled to have been funded by @sovtechfund to rewrite @gstreamer's RTP/RTSP stack in Rust. Their investment in @gstreamer has allowed us to lay a strong foundation for replacing the existing C stack—with improved safety, better perf, and a more flexible architecture.
We’re excited to announce that the Sovereign Tech Fund is supporting @gstreamer and investing in the re-writing of foundational components of the multimedia streaming framework in Rust. sovereigntechfund.de/tech/gs… @centricular 1/2

Over the Easter holidays I experimented a bit with building Rust code with meson instead of cargo. I tried building a GStreamer plugin with 40+ Rust dependencies, but the same applies in a similar way to GTK/GNOME applications or anything else. coaxion.net/blog/2023/04/bui…

We did manage to achieve a lower latency of ~90.5ms (±10%) with an uncompressed @gstreamer #16bit #44100hz #RTP stereo stream via #UDP to a local handler server and then #websocket transport to the listener device. The drawback is occasional audio dropouts due to lack of buffer.
Among the fastest consumer available systems was @ParsecTeam which was able to achieve ~131.8ms (±10%) latency between source audio device and #LTE listener. Sadly Parsec ghosted me when asking about the SDK ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯

This looks very interesting. Vanadium dioxide seems to be able to store and recall information in the atomic and molecular configurations of its glass structure. Said information is not binary, but can have several states. bigthink.com/the-future/vana…

Over the last few days I wrote a new ✨​ @GStreamer MP4 muxer ✨ plugin in @rustlang 🦀 It's merged now into gst-plugins-rs: gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstre…

Compared to existing MP4/MOV/etc muxer this, by design, does not support fragmented MP4. Handling both cases in the old codebase together made the code quite confusing.

A newish fragmented MP4 muxer can be found here: gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstre… Together these two new plugins will hopefully become a good base for the future.
