Build a patched snapd
#!/bin/bash
# Build snapd with longer time between forced refresh, effectively
# allowing systems to prevent any refreshes at all, "easily".
# While it's possible to defer updates to a later date, like this:
# $ sudo snap set system refresh.hold="$(/usr/bin/date --iso-8601=seconds -d '+30 days')"
# After 60 days, snapd will eventually force refresh, even if you run
# the above command every day to push the refresh time back continuously.
# All this script does is build snapd with a way longer interval between

Editing

After recording, each person drops their .flac file into a sub-directory called Dropbox/UbuntuPodcast/{S09E00}, where S09 is the season number, and E00 is the number of this episode.

  • Take a copy of the episode directory. Don't work inside the Dropbox directory because it annoys people when they get all your changes sync'd.
  • Use the ~/Dropbox/UbuntuPodcast/Audacity/audacity.sh script to launch audacity (it kills and re-enables pulseaudio for you)
  • Create a new project
  • Import all the FLAC files as seperate stereo tracks. They will be slightly different lengths and volumes, but should all start at the same point in time.
