Got #Arturia #Minifreak and it is my main #MIDI keyboard now. I was worried that it has the same problem as with #Microfreak, i.e. low audio signal but it is all good. I guess it has better DAC's or perhaps a built-in preamp. The low signal in Microfreak has been a real turnoff for me and have not used it that much, which is a shame.
The synth engine is capable of doing all the basic sounds, except it lacks wavetable oscillator but I'm 100% sure that it will land at some point in firmware update. Why I think it is great synth to use as starting point for any track is the matching #VST plugin. I'm planning to use that instead of #Serum to do placeholder sounds for first versions of new tracks and later phase replace some of them with other synths. Only thing I'm sticking to #Serum is bass because there the wave shape of the oscillator is too crucial to make compromises (as important as the filter).
I'd also like to have 18 dB filter for bass as it is sort of in the sweet spot but as the other engine can act as digital filter, the combination of analog and digital filter can probably be used to find the sweet spot (I some times use two 12 dB filters in series, if a synth lacks 18 dB slope filter).

There's also #IBM software TPM. It might be less messy but it does not have any community so thus I've been ignoring it: https://sourceforge.net/p/ibmswtpm2/tpm2/ci/master/tree/. It is a single person project and almost no commits by anyone else. I trust more community projects.

If I did not have anything else to do I would reimplement this in Rust: https://github.com/microsoft/ms-tpm-20-ref. The code quality is not great in the original and it is not particularly complicated thing to do just time consuming. Looking how bad code quality is, I wonder why e.g. #OPTEE implementation is based on it (if I got this wrong please correct, 99% sure it is).

probably the most useful effect chain i've made either for #Ableton Live or #BitwigStudio. No longer automating on/off buttons.

For more esoteric architectures than x86 and ARM, I find these tools superior to IDA Pro or Binary Ninja just because of out-of-the-box support for all possible ISA's in the universe.
Ghidra is probably cool but it is also written in Java. Thanks NSA but no thanks.

jarkkoconsidering #radare2 vs #rizin, i’ve settled with rizin because of the standard build system:
meson setup --buildtype=release \
--prefix=/home/jarkko/.local \
--default-library=static \
-Dblob=true \
-Dstatic_runtime=false \
build
ninja -Cbuild install
updating is a breeze. no idea what happened to that community, just using what works for me…

@deanpierce this spinned of something you said back in 2011. probably you do not recall it but sort of realized what you meant only recently 🙂

@alex_02 yeah i have absolutely zero disrespect for infosec researchers but sometimes it has unfortunately gone other way around. it is always best to respect any possible work that you have no experience, starting from selling burgers at mcdonalds 🙂 otherwise, in the end, you are just making fool of yourself.

having worked with many #infosec #researcher's over the years sometimes (definitely not always) they have a misconception that being able to build and/or detonate a bomb gives you capability to be a great #programmer.
if this was the case, safe thieves should build safes, and police department should be recruited from organized crime groups.
an infosec researcher can also definitely be a great programmer but they are different crafts.

"Toinen yllätys oli se, että poliisi sai avattua vahvasti salattujen palvelimien tiedot auki. Niitä suojannut salasana oli 64-merkkinen, ja sen poliisi onnistui selvittämään."
Tämä jäi itselläkin kytemään, että millä tempulla salasana saatiin selville.

En käytä ruokalähettipalveluja, koska bisnesmalli on moraaliton. Omistajien verojen maksu on taas tämän tosiasian valkopesua.Toisten selkänahasta revitty fyffe on väärin, vaikka siitä maksaisi kuinka paljon veroja.

@dpom @neovim A quote from Helix home page: "By starting from scratch we were able to learn from our experience with Vim and make some breaking changes."
This is totally incorrect. It is a different beast. Is Eclipse vim "with some breaking changes"?
Sorry, now I think I've flushed all this out of my system :-) Apologies...

@dpom @neovim And people doing their "new" and "better" thing tend to get bored fast too: https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/1243. I mean vim and neovim have decades of time span. E.g. the first Amiga version of Vim was implemented in 1988 being older project than even Linux kernel. Many of the maintainers of the new better things were not even born yet.
