Important update regarding our projects

We have posted an article about improving the build system for our projects. This involved updating the build scripts to make them more flexible than before by making necessary changes. This is part of the bigger improvements that will be made to all our projects.

In the coming weeks, we’ll make more changes to our projects so that we can present better experiences to both the developers that want to contribute to our projects and to the end-users that want to consume them. Making sure that our projects are delivered in the highest quality possible, we are committed to providing better experiences by identifying areas for improvement.

As for the project code, we will keep working on improvements to make sure that bugs are fixed in all of the projects. We are prioritizing bug fixing and general improvements to adding new features to make sure that stability is at its maximum. For example, the next BassBoom is going to use a different native library to add support for more audio formats effortlessly and in a cross-platform manner.

We will also announce any major changes to our projects and any major release to make sure that the developers utilizing our projects will be able to get the latest information about the new releases. This means that future releases of libraries that don’t currently see the need for a major version will only contain bug fixes.

The “Oh No, My Server Is Out of Space” Problem (and a Fix!)

Ever had a server quietly run out of space while you weren’t looking? Yeah, me too. Instead of manually checking disk usage (because who has time for that?), I wrote a Python script that monitors disk space, filters out unimportant partitions, and sends an email alert befo
