Sons of Anarchy. There's a season ender where some Irish bloke kidnaps a child and sails away. They had to make an entire season in Ireland because these knobheads of criminal but also mechanics can't figure out to follow the kidnapper on water, even though they're standing on a pier with hundreds of boats.

blur, Suede, Pink Floyd.

I don't know if any of them will tour again anytime soon, but I'd definitely recommend seeing them live if possible. The reason is that it's beautiful music played honestly. There's nothing else to it.

it will just be like a great fairground ride

Ok, if you say so Mr. Bones.

You're right. I agree, but also have to believe that we can make a way out of it.

I initially wrote a long rant but regretted, because I think the two of us could spend all night long writing back and forth and I need to sleep more than arguing in agreement online.

Remind me: I'll buy you a drink if we're still alive in 5 years.

At least they're not pretending that this is anything other than another Holy War on both sides.

The good thing is that none of the alliances on either side have any political need to intervine, due to the religiousness of it.

Russia is looking at Iran and going "who the hell is Allah and why are they fighting for him?" and NATO is "What kind of kind of mess did the Megachurch get into this time, oh well whatever."

Yeah there's too much stuff to restore.

Every time anyone wants to do anything new in my city, there's a choir of old people moaning about the removal of old stuff.

Seriously.. if they want to keep that shit, put it in a museum. We don't need your old railways in the center of the city for memorials. We don't use them. You don't use them. They haven't been used for 70 years. The same kind of shit is present in each and every city throughout Europe. It has no preservation value. We can remember your great grand uncle's achievement in other ways. Take a photo and look at it as fondly as much as you want.

It's apparently wildly surprising that humans were all over Europe thousands of years ago. Come on. They had feet, of course they shat in the shrubbery where we live. We do not have to preserve all of it.

I surely don't hope future generations dig out the shit I've posted online.

When they invented LIDAR scanning and flew over Germany, they found a lot of old stuff in the dense forests that had never even been investigated. It was silently decided not to even attempt to dig all that shit out. Good call Germany. We don't need any more stone axeheads in the museum. They're not that different, and I don't care if you can trace your lineage to the man who made it. We're not keeping that rock.

People should have a right to be forgotten.

Ötzi never asked to be dug up. People made stories about how he died of cold. Other people say it was sacrificial. The latest I've read was that he a tumor in the ass.

Have some decency. Leave that shit alone. The wearing of time is prettier than restoration anyway. It's a solid reminder. Restoration of artifacts is like botox to a 70 years old.. you're gonna look like shit either way.

Disclaimer: Put on a tinfoil hat.


The only reason this is all over the news is unfortunately not because it's a despicable crime. Which it is.

However. The story is that: She turned herself in. They were intoxicated by alcohol. She's hot for 40 year old. She's "independent, blablabla. both sides".

No, no, no!

The media is showing this because they want to normalize rape.

There's something a lot worse that never make the news.

Maybe it's the drug epidemic, causing this shit to happen on daily basis in the southern states. Maybe it's people of importance who don't turn themselves in. Maybe it's not the alcohol or libido at all.Maybe it's the ..

Maybe it's in the Epstein files.

Money.

Money up front this time.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 17 hours ago

We don't need to. It's assumed.

Jeg tvivler på at det faktisk går hurtigere med just eat end når pizzariaet selv bringer ud.

Det er selvfølgelig afhængig af stedet, men hvis de er en smule seriøse, så kører de med faste intervaller så det passer med at maden først bliver færdig når buddet er klar til at køre den ud. Hvis den er kold, så er der noget andet galt end om buddet bruger 5 eller 10 minutter.

Just smurf them in the smurf. Smurfette lets you do that when you're a smurf.

I recently got fed up with spending hours making my MIDI devices work in Windows. Everytime I plugged the USB hub with my controllers into Windows, it would reassign the ports and I'd have to use the ancient Korg utility to remove dead ports. This is a really old issue that Microsoft claims was fixed ten years ago, but never was. So I decided to test if Linux can handle MIDI devices better.

It seemed to work fine on an old Mint laptop that I have around, but since I'd rather use the newer laptop and since I still need Windows on that for work, I decided to try out putting everything on a USB stick for portability. Also, the old laptop which I might use sometimes is a bit too slow for Mint, so I needed something smaller.

So, the idea is to put the OS, the DAW, the plug-ins and samples on one single stick. I happened to have a 8gb USB that I found on a parking lot. It's kinda dirty and broken, so I figured it was perfect for the experiment. Yes, I do know that flash drives aren't good for this, and when I'm done playing around, I will probably get an external SSD for this purpose instead.

8gb is not a lot for this, but I like the challenge.

At first I wasted another evening trying to make Slax boot. I gave up and found Poppy Linux instead, since I do want the tiny and persistent kind of installation. It's a bit slow to boot into ram, but it's nice and quick once at the desktop.

For a DAW I got Reaper working just fine simply by extracting the files from the official webpage. No install required.

It recognized my MIDI devices and audio interface instantly. No issues at all, no missing dependencies or drivers or whatever, and better yet: It's still works after rebooting. I made a setup of the devices to control mixer actions in Reaper and that also saves fine as expected.

Now getting plugins is a bit of an issue. It seems that most people run Wine to use VSTs, but I decided to stick with free native Linux plugins and those are somewhat more difficult to find.

So far I've found Helm for a synth and LSP for a samples. I plan on recording real instruments mostly, so I only need the essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised that the linux download for LSP also ships with a bunch of effect plug-ins. Highly recommended: https://lsp-plug.in/index.php

I have yet to make any music other than test tracks, but it seems that my idea works so far. The installation is completely independent of which computer I have available, so I guess I will be using Linux in one way or the other to make music going forwards.

 

I get notifications on new messages that don't show in the inbox, and mark as read doesn't clear the message from unread.

Manually switching from all/unread seems to work and clears the read messages
