not a new tool but i just found it when looking for tool to solve the problem it solves, super useful: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu #ncdu

@zethtren I don't really know anything about where trends and hype is at either :-) I just see bunch of useful applications with emphasis on modernising legacy C software (thanks to robust FFI) and also anything where executable size is critical it seems to have its edge...

@zethtren thanks for the remark! there's other things also that i like, e.g. fine grain control to memory policy. it allows to easily at least mitigate from memory allocation failures, which requires effort in Rust. and I like the way FFI works in zig. that said, not real experience with the language but i think it does deserve its existence :-) it would be interesting see how those ideas mature over time...

this why i got #sitala, for archiving without issues of finding samples. #audio #musicproduction

i hope #zig will be sustainable. i like its way more than #rust. and like in C or even RISC-V microarchitecture, but not so much in Rust and C++, the language definition is compact enough so that it just stick into your head. also, comptime is really cool invention in my opinion. #C #rustlang #riscv

i got more interested on #clap #audio #plugin format as i realized that the SDK is usable with plain C :-) pretty trivial to start experimenting too nice work

@cbleslie dude, you are throwing adjectives as an argument just saying :-) i've tried it, even used a bit professionally, have found uses for it, in other places i don't like it (e.g. in my desktop). there's zero argument here, right?

I know what NixOS's selling points but I just don't like it in the host. And I neither like that there is a declaration/specification that is defined by a community that I'm not involved with to getting in the way. I get it for autonomous nodes, like a data center or something. Does not fit to my workflow or how I work. Great that there are options, right?

@IslandUsurper I use Nix in remote shells with nix-user-chroot :-) So not really trying to put these three great tools in order. For whatever I do I just take the shortest and easiest path, no ideology here tbh :-)

I’ve found #ubuntu #multipass to be sweet-spot for me for creating #development environments, meaning environments with toolchains, project specific assets and stuff like that.

Like if I spin up a new project or whatever, I just:

multipass launch \
	--name project \
	--cpus 4 \
	--memory 8G \
	--disk 100G \
	--bridged \
	23.10
multipass exec project -- yes '' | ssh-keygen -t ed25519
multipass exec project -- cat .ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Totally get #Podman and #Nix but learning them only to do this would be a total overkill…

@oathboundFamiliar @spinach traditional version of this "code of conduct" is that you should look into eye when you meet a new person, associate or whatever. i somewhat get this version, not the serial killer-version really. :-) i mean when you greet that person not continuing to stare like a maniac after that...

fun related fact is that quite many table manners etc, which are recommended still today, inherit from royal courts of the old days, and their function was being security protocols. this way it was possible to mitigate the risk for murdering the ruler with a knife or other weapon at hand :-) not a joke

@monsieuricon @oathboundFamiliar@akko.elysium i fully get what you are saying with the attenuation factor that sometimes there can be language barriers and cultural differences can cause some misinterpretation :-)

@oathboundFamiliar @spinach tbh, autist or not, i'd find it creepy if someone would "maintain eye contact" through the whole discussion, like in any discussion :-)

one thing that came to mind about bass drums. i often start with my self-made synthesized kick but then i finally pick a kick sample possibly e.g. from a sample pack or even splice. you make much more educated pick and less time spent. thus i have more knobby kick in the template... so even if not being a professional audio engineer and have studio grade room treatment, making own kicks can be turn out to be many ways useful. at worst that gives you some idea what you are looking for

this is my project template kick ATM. it is not meant for referencing but more like finding something reasonable in bitwig, then knobs are bit nicer IMHO. i like to do presets that have barely enough stuff and refine per project :-)

Additional notes:

  • Signal path has the bare minimum in order not to add any possible extra latency. The point is to play in low-latency.
  • Sampler takes care of transient peak in the same instrument rack.

My next thing is to write a script that takes KICK2 preset file, parses the XML and saves two Bitwig curve presets :-) This way I get away from having to edit programmatically an actual Grid preset, which would be probably too complicated. KICK2 has pretty simple format…

i hope some way we get Compressor+ to #Bitwig, which is more like Glue in #Ableton, i.e. VCA/feedback-style bus compressor. I have The Glue from Cytomic now but still would nice to have at least a track template with stock only... The Glue is the exact same compressor as Ableton Glue and thus pretty good workaround to the issue. #audio
