One reason for phasing out #Github and migrating to #Gitlab is this #copilot that #Microsoft is pushing all over the place. According to the latest news even to Notepad.

It would make sense for many companies to simply ban e.g. #vscode because anything with assistant-in-the-cloud is objectively a
#security incident.

reminder to myself: in #asustor #NAS-servers the web interface is at ports 18000 18001. this is really hard to find from web documentation and always keep forgetting #note

#Bitwig's Transient Control is pretty neat side-chaining device, which has one outstanding feature: attenuation/amplification factor for the body. Just the sake of an example Kilohearts Transient Shaper has a side-chain but body can be only amplified. Body attenuation is great for giving space in other percussions for a kick hit (works also for bass body). I wish there was equivalent VST available because it is really useful especially for more non-standard basslines where bass hits are all over the place at times..
.
it gives more pleasant results than (audio side-chained) volume shapers in my opinion when the bassline is like something more funky having long notes, polyrythms and generally notes are all over the place.

@alxlg i'm sure that everything essential missing for typst will eventually get there. it is pretty mature considering the time span of development but that "svg preview" might possibly be less capable than pdf :-) i'm not really expert in this, tbh i don't even know does SVG file format have a feature for having links....

@alxlg probably not in svg output in the pdf at least the links work :-)

Installing all existing U-he plugins: https://gitlab.com/jarkkojs/home-directory/-/blob/main/.local/bin/linux-uhe-install-plugins?ref_type=heads

I'm planning to also make macOS version of this some day (there must be a way to silently batch install pkg's, I suppose because #Homebrew does something like that).

NOTE: this is not polished script so do not guarantee that there are no any glitches.

There's also stuff that is really easiest done in Linux vs other operating systems. One would be routing audio from any app to any app. It is what Pipewire does... So e.g. sampling something from any possible video stream is dead easy. For macOS you have to pay something like $100 to get that capability in more limited form by buying an OS extension called Loopback.

These days I sometimes use #Linux for #music. I use #Bitwig and @uheplugins so much that it is not really a big deal. I hardly even remember sometimes which OS I'm using. After certain point I might switch to #macOS but for constructing basic composition any OS delivers really,.

There's easy ways to run also Windows VST's under Linux but I like to use always what is there native because limitations are great for creativity :-)

Also I love Audio Damage's Eos2 reverb, which has also native Linux version (by a chance, used it before knowing this) so yeah, pretty much covered despite limited number of choices...

With #mdbook, any ideas how to:

  1. Disable theme picker.
  2. Enforce light theme especially never pick vomit looking navy on any possible machine…

#rustlang

@kidney thanks! i still keep on using mostly the date update as for me the most common use case would be to update a patch series, which sometimes can contain a patch or two from another author even is 80% patches are my own work. less risk of collateral damage :-)

i've most of my own repositories to #Gitlab. the main driver has been that the "core" open source projects that i care about live there like buildroot, keyutils, pipewire and some others. And i like that it is more "in the shadow" than Github. I'm not looking attention with Git's :-)

Two of my own palette designs for #BitwigStudio:

1. #Dracula/#Monokai inspired "Monocula".
2. "Amstrad" which is what it s Amstrad CPC 464 color palette, which was exactly 27 colors, i.e. match with the Bitwig's palette size.
