People say me that #Kirchoff #EQ is great or even better than #FabFilter Pro-Q3 but...

Dynamic EQ is not a great tool for shaping transients as the filters are connected in series. This will result most "bending" transients as EQ points will interact and are interconnected. For shaping, band needs to be split into blocks, and this exactly what a multi-band compressor does.

This reduces the meaningful parameters to exactly one: dynamic range:

1. Define a dynamic range (in dB for an EQ point.
2. Figure out values for the parameters that keep it within that range.

So with the dynamic EQ below this would mean a manual tuning until you find some
values that seem to work, and depending on signal coming this could even mean automating those parameters, depending on how static the signal is. Also any change to the signal coming in would require re-adjusting them.

On the other hand, Pro-Q3 starts from the dynamic range as the input parameter, listens the signal and adjusts compressor parameters dynamically to stay within the range, without user intervention.

Not my cup of tea because the choice is between spending hours on it vs spending less than a minute figuring this all out 🤷

Announced today at @defcon is #RaspberryPi's new microcontroller, the #RP2350. Two #Arm Cortex-M33 cores, two #RISCV Hazard3 cores, and more of everything you liked about #RP2040. Congratulations to all my former colleagues at Pi on a lot of hard work! https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-2-our-new-5-microcontroller-board-on-sale-now/

@r1w1s1 yeah, so my packages change rarely :D And both Rust and Go provide pretty good environments to install tools implemented with them to the home directory. And for desktop, Flatpak today is pretty good (l install e.g. Signal from there).

So the packages that I actually install from distributions repositories are pretty basic and boring: git, vim (the regular one), gcc, msmtp and that kind of old and dusty stuff, which exists everywhere.

And I use my desktop exactly for doing work and not much else.

@r1w1s1 I could consider Slackware some day to replace my Fedora installation. It is like "Arch for adults" ;-) I use Linux first and foremost for executing work with the same set of tools I've used forever. I used in the distant past many years with zero issues.

In a leisure time I use Mac with the logic that changing operating systems gives me as a remote worker feeling of moving between workplace and home. And it is better place for watching crap and trying out new and flashy stuff because it is broken to begin with anyhow ;-)

@bagder I sincerely hope not.

Job situation is looking pretty good! I have now some options that I can cope with. Most likely not going hack the planet under the bridge after September ;-)

@rolle twitter oli paras alusta joskus konferenssiaikatauluille :-)

@vague Just checking but is codeberg the main hosting site where the PR's are to be sent?

@vague yeah so I get that encryption system in IRC client is something that no one wants to maintain. So that denial is from legit standing point.

However, having some to say that please run command instead of just reading password should not be tedious to maintain. Gives user a choice.

Problem implementing custom encryption storages is difficult and one can easily introduce a completely new set of security issues by doing that.

So I go through the official route but what I was thinking would be to add "-passcmd" to /connect.

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of actress Patti Yasutake. Fans will forever cherish her portrayal of Nurse Alyssa Ogawa on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Personally, I’ll remember her as a dear friend, whose sister was the late Irene Hirano Inouye, a founder of the Japanese American National Museum.

These will make my life so much easier! https://www.musikding.de/Rocket-Sockets_1

@Netux Linux has arch/riscv tree but that could be just as well arch/sifive tree. I.e. there is a single proprietary vendor for MMUfull RISC-V, which defines how that category works. Others will follow. Not that different from e.g. Intel in the end.

@Netux I'm not sure what RISC-V architecture even is.

The spec does not have any even pseudo code for opcodes, let alone upstream with official VHDL/Verilog.

How come RISC-V be open hardware when there is no hardware *at all*? It's like I would explain some imaginary specs for imaginary CPU in this comment would claim that here's a new open CPU ecosystem, fast-forward to the future and beyond ;-)

One can at most say from current specs that there is a collection of abstract ideas of register layout, opcodes (some of which are *ambiguous*) etc. AND a marketing brand for corporations involved :-) I still like to work on this stuff because when the shit is still broken, that is *exactly* the fun zone :-)

Have to add that I neither like the silly sec.conf in #weechat ;-) It sucks but is less worse than exposing passwords in plain text. I use weechat at least up until this has been fixed (if it ever will be). [the best possible solution would be obviously to have password command option like every other software]

I neither have motivation to add that option myself because it is quite obvious that it would be pain to get it landed based on comment that I responded to. I would only end up spending 1-2 nights writing code and 2 months collecting bad karma ;-)

@paul @jlewallen Cool thank you!

So earlier this year I wrote about this cybercrime rapper named Punchmade Dev, who wears outlandishly gaudy and expensive stuff around his neck and croons in videos in front of stacks of cash at ATMs, talking about how to do wire fraud, cashout PayPal and Cash App accounts, etc. The story showed how this Punchmade character seems to be a 22-year-old guy in Lexington, Ky named Devon Turner who operates multiple web stores that sell apparently compromised payment cards and identity information (alongside check printing software and tutorials on....wait for it...OPSEC!).

On a hunch that maybe Punchmade's lack of opsec might have caught up with him, I checked PACER and found instead that he recently sued his bank, alleging they discriminated against him for his race over his denied request to transfer $75,000 out of his account. Incredibly, Mr. Turner signed his pro se complaint filed in a Kentucky court with the same phone number and email address that are tied to the Punchmade domain names that are selling products like "ID+ High Balance CC, ID front/back, SSN, and 7$k-10k CC, for $80"

Here's the story:
In January, KrebsOnSecurity wrote about rapper Punchmade Dev, whose music videos sing the praises of a cybercrime lifestyle. That story showed how Punchmade's social media profiles promoted Punchmade-themed online stores selling bank account and payment card data. Now the Kentucky native is suing his financial institution after it blocked a $75,000 wire transfer and froze his account, citing an active law enforcement investigation.
