Misc

• Jamie's Custom EqualizerAPO Configs
• AutoEQ - Provides EQ settings for various headphones to give them a more neutral profile (ie match the Harman Curve). Combine with EQ software such as EqualizerAPO (for best results, use the GraphicEQ settings).
  • Note: Be sure to use the results from the oratory1990 folder, instead of rtings, as they are more accurate.
  • See Oratory1990's personal database here: HeadphoneDatabase
  • For speakers, hardware bass/treble eq (on DAC/amp) seems superior.
• List of Software Engineering Blogs
• ntfy.sh - Send push notifications via POST
  • To self-host, see the github repo
  • Can be ran from script/CLI (eg curl -d "Backup successful 😀" ntfy.sh/mytopic)
