Stop listening
Google Home devices and Apple HomePod both have voice commands to mute the microphone from across the room — “OK Google, mute the microphone” and “Hey Siri, stop listening” — but not Amazon Echo devices.
On Amazon Echo devices you have to push a mute button. But this will not help against Amazon Echo Remote devices. The remote microphone (which is push-for-use and not always on) remains available even if the main unit has the microphone array disabled.

Projekt GITenberg
Alle Texte von Project Gutenberg in Versionskontrolle und mehr…
Ein Post auf go-to-hellman gibt einen Eindruck vom Projektstatus
“So here’s what’s been done:
- Almost 57,000 texts from Project Gutenberg have been loaded into Github repositories.
- EPUB, PDF, and Kindle Ebooks have been rebuilt and added to releases for all but about 100 of these.
- Github webhooks trigger dockerized ebook building machines running on AWS Elastic Beanstock every time a git repo is tagged.
- Toolchains for asciidoc, HTML and plain text source files are running on the ebook builders.
- A website at https://www.gitenberg.org/ uses the webhooks to index and link to all of the ebooks.
- www.gitenberg.org presents links to Github, Project Gutenberg, Librivox, and Standard Ebooks.
- Cover images are supplied for every ebook.
- Human-readable metadata files are available for every ebook
- Syndication feeds for these books are made available in ONIX, MARC and OPDS via Unglue.it.”
