rtpmidid VS RSS-Link-Database

rtpmidid[1]. After getting some hardware synthesizers and wanting to connect them without using a computer.. but being able to use them too using the computer I stumbled upon with rtpmidi the protocol and it ticked all the boxes I needed. I could connect all my gear to a raspberry pi, use ALSA sequencer to connect devices to each other with another of my programs AseqRC[2], and then use my synths from my DAW without touching any cable.

So after a fast prototype I created rtpmidid and I'm quite happy on how it works.

And it also helps with the USB ground loop noise that it seems unavoidable some times.

For some time I had even two Orange Pis connected to two sections of my gear, using USB gadget support so my MPC One could speak rtpmidi. MPC One has support to connect as host to MIDI devices, but as guest (connect to the computer) only in controlled mode which is not what I needed to convert my MIDI tracks to my DAW.

My hope is that they finish the MIDI 2.0 rtpmidi protocol, and that starts to be truly used in real hardware, not half used as current rtpmidi.

This would allow easy connectivity with very low latency over normal LAN, including switches, power over Ethernet...

Disclaimer: I created a rtpmidi implementation for linux https://github.com/davidmoreno/rtpmidid

I've been using rtp-midi, using rtpmidid and it's working fine.

I'm trying to figure out how to use rtpmidid by David Moreno with my iConnectivity Mio XL. Just running rtpmidid makes all ports show up in Carla and in Reaper, but no MIDI seems to be sent. In Bitwig i can't even see the ports. Maybe because it uses jackmidi and rtpmidid uses alsamidi?

On the other hand it is not 1995. Time has moved on. I wrote a Simple RSS feed, that also serves as search engine for bookmarks.

I am able to run it in attick on raspberry pi. We do not have to rely so heavily on google.

It is true that it does not serve me as google, or kagi replacement. It is a very nice addition though.

With a little bit off determination I do not have to be so dependent on google.

Here is also a dump of known domains. Some are personal.

...and my bookmarks

Some more years, and google can go to hell.

These are exported then to github repositories:

[5] https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database - bookmarks

[6] https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2023 - 2023 year news headlines

[7] https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database - all known to me domains, and RSS feeds

My own repositories:

- bookmarked entries https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database

- mostly domains https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database

- all 'news' from 2023 https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2023

I am using my own Django program to capture and manage links https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive.

That is why I wrote [1] for myself. It stores links in database, which I can query. Everything is later on exported, like in [2] and [3]. I can browse history, I can find useful data. I do not say it has replaced google for me. It is a nice addition that helped me gather data I encounter on the Internet.

It is a link database, at first glance resembles Reddit clone, but my focus is on creating link database, not on providing social media experience cancer.

Links:

[2] https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database

[3] https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2023

- https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2022 - all captured links in 2022

- I think newsboat reader does not provide advanced search mechanism

There is also a repo in which I store entries which I find interesting, useful: https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database
