Instead of a WhatsApp group or whatever, my two oldest friends and me have a private non-federated Mastodon instance running on my laptop for some time now 
It's all private and closed so only we 3 use it to communicate and share stories with each other!
You can just disable federation and set everything private so it becomes a little intranet for friends!
#Mastodon is really amazing 
Now, if only there were better availability of super affordable USB sound cards with Line-In. Most of them only have Mic-in, although they probably have the line-in capacity on the chip, just not connected.
Any recommendations?
Happily surprised to find that I can #stream stereo #radio using #OpenWrt out of the box on a #Mango Mini Wireless Router (the GL-MT300N-V2).
#libopus is only using 40-50% CPU.
I also tried with #lame for #mp3 by the way - which was hopeless. Every possible configuration I could find immediately maxes out the CPU, causing constant overruns.
This is the comand I used:
arecord -q -f S16_LE -c2 -r48000 | \
opusenc --quiet --comp [0-9] --raw --raw-rate 48000 --raw-chan 2 --bitrate 128 - - | \
oggfwd ICECASE_SERVER_IP 8000 hackme stream
You can also get away with higher values for comp (at comp 9 I get about 90% CPU usage, comp 10 is too much for it) bitrate of 256 is also working.

Thanks @rafael2k for pointers!
Stephan offers a new album, but you CANNOT get it online. 😃 😃 😃
"I have just finished my third album and I don’t want you to buy it and I’m not giving it away either.
Actually, it’s not available.
Not on Spotify, not on Apple, not on Google, not on Bandcamp. Not as a YouTube video forcing you to endure forty-three ad breaks.....
To get this album [....]
You need to do something creative… and give it to me."

Three days until #39c3 and many people are preparing their first visit at Congress. Welcome! I know many of first timers are planning to help, especially when they got a friends ticket. We do not expect anyone to do work at the event when the have a friends ticket.
Being an Angel at a chaos event is fun but please die not make your whole visit about working there - especially when you are a first timer.
