Thanks. I’ve installed it and looking at it now.
The experiment I need would be… Acoustic Amplitude, right?
And the steps would be? (sorry, I’m not very scientific)
“Calibrate” tab > “Calibrate”: do this when there is no/little noise?
“Calibrate” tab > “Offset”: no idea what to do here.
“Amplitude” tab > when there is noise I want to measure, press the play button?
“Amplitude” tab > after a bit, press the pause button?
Then, other? 3-dot menu > “Export data” or “Share screenshot”?

Thanks for the info.
So, imperfect but perhaps one might help at least for comparing noise levels, e.g. the noise they’re making now compared to last night.
[He didn’t really say that, but he might as well have. And I do feel the EU needs stronger procedures for dealing with an anti-democratic member? Hopefully more steps before expulsion that could bring a straying member state back into the democratic fold. Orbán sure loves bashing the EU while taking its money.]
Nah, simply so pedantic as to give a Hungarian name in Hungarian name order.

“Hungary under me will drain every euro, forint and zloty and spend it on undermining European families, farmers and industry. Slava Russki!”

You’re welcome.
Re Peertube, I believe you can start watching without setting anything up.
Re setting up an account and choosing an instance, I’m not a content creator and just went with peertube.wtf when I saw it promoted by its admin here on Lemmy.
Handy post on Peertube instances here:
Thanks so much!
There are no such slashes in the original URLs, and thus not in what I posted. They’ve been added here by Lemmy somehow after I posted them.
Thanks! I was looking in a user’s profile, right-clicking in various places etc.
Thanks for the info.
I’ve never messaged someone on Lemmy. Currently using Tess front-end and I see no way to do it.
I’ll chop them up here:
Others have already made good suggestions for older movies (libraries, Kanopy, Hoopla, Tubi, Archive.org etc). Also try buying second-hand physical media (DVDs, BDs).
Specifically re an old Kurosawa movie, there are a couple of channels on Peertube with old movies they say are in the public domain (I am not a lawyer).
A couple of such channels
And ClassX has Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai
There are also YouTube channels that claim to have public domain or licensed movies. I recently found an “all-in-one” site that collates movies from many such channels.
If you don’t want to go via a third-party site like Cinetimes, you can try some supposedly-legally-free channels directly on YouTube:
Warning: the movies on the channels are free, but not necessarily any good :) A lot of dross and only a few gems, unless you love trashy B-movies.
A couple of possibly decent films (in my watchlist, haven’t seen them yet)
All the ones I’ve given above are for video on demand (VOD), i.e. you pick what you want, press play and it starts.
There are also linear channels, i.e. like old fashioned TV where things are shown according to a schedule and you see whatever’s on when you tune in. Nowadays sometimes called “live TV”, even when watching stuff made years ago. ( TheArchive.tv does both: VOD and one linear channel.)
A lot of free linear channels (including some with old movies and TV shows) are available through different ways:
For apps on your phone or computer, you might need to add a “playlist”: a big list of channels that you can pick from to watch. Currently, I use the English language playlist from iptv-org (over 2,000 channels from around the world).
There is also the IOTV app for Roku, which I think uses the all languages playlist from iptv-org.
Warning: using these playlists can mean a bunch of the included channels won’t work for you, e.g. because they are geoblocked to a specific country.
Some example channels with older stuff:
For anyone unfamiliar with the source:
TV in the UK has a substantially different regulatory framework and environment to the US and some other countries.
That’s why even when Sky News (UK) was Murdoch-owned, it was a respected news source; it was the prestige loss leader he used to help get the rest of Sky regulator-approval. Compare to Sky News Australia; same name but full-on swivel-eyed Fox News-style bollocks.
At least for now, I believe it’s easier to keep this sort of thing in check (on TV; the papers, oof!) in the UK. But people have to stay vigilant and make sure regulators know folks are keeping an eye on both them and the likes of GB News.
I know so much about owls thanks to the Infosphere.

Thanks. Step 1 seems to make sense to me, but…(excuse me if this seems a silly question) this means I need a sound loudness measuring tool in order to use my phone as a sound loudness measuring tool? At least to do the calibration?
EDIT: Doh, re-reading, I see you already addressed that, thanks.
