The number 17 is considered unlucky in Italy, but that didn't stop me from releasing my new album just today... "Loser" is finally out! Faircamp link below, but available for purchase on Bandcamp (with a bonus track) and Mirlo too. music.lminiero.it/loser/ Reposts welcome 🙏

The real AI discussion we should be having

First pathetic attempt to record myself playing the flute... I still super-suck, but at least I'm getting somethere! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj4h...

I literally don't have room any more, but that didn't stop me... a new baby's in the house, a second-hand Cort G200DX, in beautiful natural wood! The guy who sold it to me tweaked it a lot and it's such a joy to play. I gave it a test with the gorgeous "Lena" by Gamalon #guitar #cort #gamalon #lena

Drop a THREAT. "None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me".

I wonder how many people among my German friends would tell me they voted (or will vote) AfD, if I asked them. This reminds me of the old Berlusconi days in Italy: no one ever admitted voting for hm, and het somehow he always won. Dark days ahead.

In case you're interested in the presentation on how I started adding some #QUIC #RoQ and #MoQ to the #Janus #WebRTC server, you can find my slides at the link below. If you've never attended RTC.ON before, I really encourage you to go next year, a ton of great content! lminiero.it/talks/rtcon2...

Apparently SlideShare stopped accepting new uploads a few weeks ago, and never enabled them back again... I was never very fond of it for sharing my slides, so I guess it's time to find a replacement. Which alternative would you recommend, possibly (not really needed) some more open than SlideShare?

Dear #MusicProduction lovers! #FOSDEM opened their call-for-devrooms, and we'd love to have the MP devroom again, but I won't be in Brussels (family reasons) and Steven may not either. Want to help organize this year? I can take care of everything except the day there. Get in touch, reposts welcome!

It's #BandcampFriday today, which means more money for artists if you purchase their music there. Yours truly has some music here too, including my latest album "Loser" *wink* *wink* *ca-ching* lminiero.bandcamp.com

It looks like Ruby liked @bhaalspawn.bsky.social 's painting so much she's going to play Monkey Island next!

Coming soon(ish) #loser #album2026 #Music #OriginalMusic

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

At the latest #IETF in Vienna, we decided to run a peculiar experiment... stream the #MoQ sessions using #MoQ itself! All using our existing #WebRTC infrastructure as the source for the media. This blog post is an overview on that. Feedback (and reposts) welcome! www.meetecho.com/blog/moq-iet...

Today marks the 20th anniversary of my Master's degree! The fun thing about it is that I always remember the date (30th of June) because it's Malmsteen's birthday 🤣 And the year because it's when Italy last won the World Cup, shortly before disappearing in football nothingness...

I know, I know... I literally shared a #MoQ and #WebRTC blog post just a few days ago! But I was on a roll, and I wanted to play more with MoQ and media (in a browser too), so this push-to-talk demo came out... feedback and reposts welcome! www.meetecho.com/blog/moq-ptt/

After a long period of hiatus, due to a gazillion changes in my music production workflow (orchestra, mostly), I have a new track to share, called "Luminaires". Link below is from my Faircamp, but if you're feeling generous it's available on Bandcamp and Mirlo too 😁 music.lminiero.it/luminaires/

If you missed my @commcon.xyz talk, I just wrote a more detailed blog post about everything I presented there, also touching on many aspects I didn't mention in the presentation. The focus is of course on the #WebRTC / #MoQ parallels/differences/gatewaying. Enjoy! www.meetecho.com/blog/janus-m...

Xbox should never have bought the studios it keeps closing

Thanks @danjenkins.bsky.social and Sipgate, it was a great @commcon.xyz 2026. It is always a pleasure to meet old friends, make new ones, have nice chats and watch all the great talks.

Second up on Day 2 of CommCon is @lminiero.it talking about combining the worlds of WebRTC and MOQ. 2026.commcon.xyz

I wonder how many will recognize this track? If you were a kid growing in Italy in the 80s/90s this should be close to the 98%... www.youtube.com/watch?v=51jS...

Is that 10-year challenge from a few months ago still a thing?

Here are the slides for the "Adding real-time AI pipelines to VoIP/WebRTC calls with Juturna" talk I just presented at #kamailioWorld, which I followed with a dangerous demo too (that against all odds I ended up winning 😱 ) www.slideshare.net/slideshow/re...

Now speaking at #kamailio world, @lminiero.it (celebrating 10 years of speaking at KamailioWorld)

It's been some time since my last technical blog post, so I thought I'd write one on some of my efforts to integrate #QUIC, #RoQ and (partly) #MoQ in the Janus #WebRTC server. Mostly experimental, but it could be a useful testbed for the future. Feedback welcome! www.meetecho.com/blog/janus-r...

Would I use AI to do writing or animation for me? Absolutely not. Do I enjoy writing and animating? Absolutely not.

Robo-barista is coming for your job

I chased the Pope-mobile

The only European leader with a spine

I spent a month and a half trying to learn the piano part (hey, Im no piano player, and I suck!), but eventually I did it... a cover of both guitar and piano of the beautiful intro to "Illumination", by Marty Friedman. I hope you'll enjoy it, it was fun to learn! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6yz...

A message from your ZX Spectrum.

I think I figured out why I can't stand the music of the likes of Tim Henson, Polyphia, Ichika Nito, Marcin & co... It basically sounds like what AI thinks a guitar-based song full of solos should sound like

Is it #BandcampFriday? Yes it is! And it is #FairtradeMusicFriday too! So why not go and buy one of my albums so that I can pay for some medicines for my flu? *cough* *cough* (too shameless? 😁) lminiero.bandcamp.com mirlo.space/lminiero/

If you weren't at #FOSDEM and missed our #MusicProduction devroom, here's a "short" summary of what happened! (short is in quotes because, well, come on, we all know I can't write anything that isn't a few bibles long 😁) blog.lminiero.it/fosdem-music...

I suspected I had not really survived #FOSDEM unscathed, and in fact there it is... Stuck in bed with the flu! At least this time it happened *after* FOSDEM and not before 😁

We know that video links might still throw errors, but that should resolve itself within 24h, it's the mirroring that happens and might connect you to a mirror which is still syncing...

The Music Production devroom at #FOSDEM starts in a couple of hours! You can find the schedule here, which is also where you'll find streaming links to follow the session remotely 🙏🏼 fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Just did my presentation on #imquic, a WIP QUIC library for real-time media( #roq and #moq), in #openmedia. Seemed well received, so I'm happy! Slides (and soon a video recording, in case you missed it) at the link below fosdem.org/2026/schedul... #FOSDEM #FOSDEM25 #FOSDEM2026 @fosdem.org

It seems the crypto community has found a new way to extract money from people. They are creating tokens for popular open source projects and inviting maintainers to get in on the scheme. Here is the email I got earlier today.

I looked up the real answer, but it’s boring, so I’m just going to stay irritated at the concept of putting crackers in a barrel. Why would anyone do that? Crackers are square. Barrels are round. The geometry is unpleasant to imagine. Also fuck ICE.

My humble attempt to play "Waiting for 22" by Queensrÿche, from that masterpiece called "Operation Mindcrime". You don't want to know how many takes I had to record to get it (mostly) right 😁 www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVqv... #guitar #harleybenton #kemperprofiler #queensryche #operationmindcrime
