Running Kitty the past year and a bit and really like it. Used to run into weird laggy issues with other terminal emulators, but Kitty runs like a beast for me.

A bit of context:

I am a long time user of Proton (5+ years, Unlimited user) services. I am also a long time user of 1Password (since 2016). Understandably I have hundreds of items currently in my 1Password account, and a safe work flow on my devices with that.

Would it make sense to start moving those entries to Proton Pass (as it is included) and be off a bit cheaper, or keep them separated as to not throw all the eggs in the Proton basket?

Ideas, thoughts, tips or experiences?

My brain is not wired to be proud of things (chase the process!).

But i think achievements that I would put on my resume of life:

  • Smoked for 15 years, quit, now 10+ years, nifty to think of. (i like number go up)
  • Still alive even though i never thought that would happen a lot of times in my life, keep on keeping on
  • I have released a bunch of cool music with other people and it has been a 'getting out of hand' hobby also for the past 15+ years
  • Up until now haven't screwed up the next generation bonus-mini-me, today was their first day in high school, so pretty proud of them (not my achievement though, i just supported along the way).

So how many days do you take a year? As the other comments also touch upon, it becomes an outperform thing with co- workers, to take the least amount to "perform better". Also how easy and often do managers then deny requests?

With a fixed set it has an actual value, at the company they can't deny PTO's as they are yours. Of course planning comes into play a little bit, but if you let the company know that 2 months from now you take 4 weeks off for a good long summer holiday, that is what you will be doing then in those 2 months.

ps. I have 25 personal paid days, a bunch of public holidays. Doctor's appointments are on the 'please try to schedule them outside working hours if possible, otherwise, well, that's life, you need to visit that doctor'. Full travel reimbursement (fixed amount per month, can spend however i want), A lot of secondary items in my contract as well dealing with having to take care of partner / children if they become sick (is paid time off), etc etc.

I love this watch! Just wear it and forget, never thinking about having to charge it. One thing that i miss is a vibrating motor for the alarm. I know other models have that, but i miss it on this one.

I have experience with the following DAW's (disclaimer: I am not a recording engineer, i can do basic operations, and a bit of mixing)

Reaper

Starting with Reaper, the one i will recommend first to anybody starting out. It is not the easiest one, also not the prettiest one, but, you can use it for free! And a personal license is only $60 (you can keep using the free version, but it will throw a popup every now and then).

So price is great! Next, it works cross platform, I run it as easy on a Linux machine, as well on Windows and Mac. Getting your audio devices working properly on Linux is a whole different topic!

Currently, we work together with multiple people on demo material and preparation for in the studio, and using Google Drive (i know i know) to sync the files and easily work on top of each others work. I can load the files directly from the sync folder and save when done.

Logic Pro

If you have a mac, and Garaband doesn't give you what you need anymore, Logic Pro is the next logical step. It works great within the Apple ecosystem, it looks nice, and works great. It will cost you $199,99 dollar though. And it only works on MacOS, so forget about easily sharing work files.

Ableton

Price: between 79 euro and 599 euro

If you want the flexibility of using a DAW for live performances (or a non-linear approach) combined with a classic linear approach, Ableton is your go to! Focused more on live performances, solo artists, sampling, sound design etc it is still a very powerful candidate for recording instruments.

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).

At some point you might want to record some of the music you have been playing. Of course you can hold your phone next to your guitar and record, and at times you don't need more than that. But what if you want to do a bit more, actually record a full song, or multiple layers of instruments. That's when DAW's come into play.

What are some of your favorites? What are the ones that in specific cases do a thing really good, but in other scenarios not so much.

Your classic introduction (with a twist) topic. What instruments do you play, or what do you want to start playing?

[-] ff0000@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Can't think of a word, but want to add 'automagically' to that list.

Updated the link in the body of the post, hopefully this will work now for everybody. 🫣

So to start this community with a question I have myself.

A little bit of context:

I am a drummer, and for shows currently using a Behringer in-ear system where I will get a mono or stereo xlr as input.

This is already a lot better than having to rely on the wedge and I have a little bit of control over at least the volume.

The rest of the band is currently using the wedges.

I would like to upgrade this setup a bit to have more control over what i will hear on my in-ears, and be it more consistent for every show. Next step would be to get the other members to also use it.

Any recommendations on what would be a good starting point that is not immediately breaking the bank, but can be expanded over time and gives us that control.

  • The band consists of 5 people. (1 drums, 2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 vocals)
  • We bring our own sound engineer to shows
  • price range around ~ 1000 euros

More like putting a post-it on the ads in magazines. You are not altering anything for the next person, or even for yourself after reloading a page.

I created a new community for musicians. To create a place where the more technical and logistical aspects of being a musician can be discussed.

Topics like: live rigs, hearing protection, song writing over the internet, your favorite DAW etc.

Come and join!

Welcome to the musicians community!

You play an instrument, you are a musician.

This community is focused on the creative and technical aspects of being a musician. Good brands of guitars to play, how to create music outside of the rehearsal space, your vocalist won't stop snoring on the tour bus. That kind of stuff.

To some degree, certainly! If at some point it comes out that a certain sponsor is just total shit, a content creator can be made aware of that. Although, with all these things, it is not always as easy to just drop a sponsor i suppose, there is always contracts involved and all of that. So not expecting a creator to be able to drop a sponsor all of a sudden.

UPDATE: running pnpm run translations:generate (and also the other translations tasks, just to be sure) fixed the issue.


When trying to setup a local Lemmy instance (for development), the lemmy-ui repository throws an error when trying to start the dev server.

I followed the guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/02-local-development.html

When running pnpm dev to start the dev server, it presents me with two errors:


ERROR in ./src/shared/services/I18NextService.ts 14:0-40

I do see that these files nor the folder exist where I18NextService is trying to locate them. But i also see in the root a lemmy-translations folder.

I am able to get it sort of working by updating the paths in I18NextService, but i guess that is not the preferred approach.

I am trying to create a filter within Proton Mail, that adds a label 'mailing list' whenever Proton marks an email as from a mailing list.

It doesn't seem so easily possible as far as i can tell and I don't have the time (or will at the moment) to try and create it with a Sieve filter.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I'm trying to get rid of my Google dependency and one of those steps was moving over to Protonmail. Now in the past few days i have been picking up signals that even Protonmail is not as clean as it might be.

Does this really impact the privacy of how i use email and so is moving to Protonmail a step forward from Google, or is Protonmail just as bad?

If so, what could be alternatives?


edit:

Some of the alternatives being mentioned in the comments are:

Email:

VPN:

edit 2 (2023):

There seems to be some new activity around this post. At the time of writing the post (2 years ago) there were some stories going as user @UnfortunateShort described in their comment. This made me question the best options available at that moment. Currently i am still a Proton user, using their Mail and Calendar service, and Mullvad for VPN.
