Hey people — quick follow-up to the earlier announcement. Oscilla v0.4.2_beta is out with the first standalone binaries.

The Linux build has been tested on Debian, but I’d really appreciate testing on macOS, Windows, or other Linux distros.

A quick “works / doesn’t work” is perfect — and if it doesn’t work, any error message or screenshot helps a lot. Thanks!

Conservation agreement landholders trained to use wildlife cameras and audio recorders as part of a NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust pilot project.

"Across eight regions in NSW, more than 1.4 million camera images and 15,000 hours of audio recordings were logged throughout the 12-month pilot, which began in August 2024."

"We got so many threatened species, including the sooty owl, the powerful owl, heaps of different microbats, including threatened microbat species...See[ing] what the species are doing over seasons and time will be really useful."

"The second stage of the project began in March this year and will wrap up in March 2026."

What bird is that?

There's this thing about resilience engineering being more about being ready for dragons around the next corner than trying to guess where all the holes are in the swiss cheese.

I enjoy high nerd humor.

I don't understand the words but by the topic being the albigensian crusade, I presume there is horrible things there. #ThereBeDragons
