Feel bad for #news about #Intel. I was employed by Intel almost 11 years.

I hope they get their shit 2gether. #ffs

@dwagenk Yep, exactly. It is definitely still better than my previous approach ;-)

I've been looking this tool for years and it was there all the time: https://github.com/firecow/gitlab-ci-local

My workflow has been before:

1. Edit .gitlab-ci.yml without knowing what I'm actually doing.
2. git push
3. Hope for the best, fear for the worst.

It has been pretty difficult to learn it when I have to test every edit remotely and once I reach my quota wait for some weeks to continue.

And no, GitLab runner is not a solution:

1. I've never been able to successfully set it up.
2. It does not scale to multiple Gitlab instances easily.
3. Even if two former were somehow addressed I do not want to run random system daemons.

I.e. to summarize: A local Gitlab runner sucks. It sucks unimaginably hard.

@wamserma @drewdevault I can "test" the tutorial by executing the steps once I have bandwidth. I bookmarked it!

Japan, national morning news show:

An uninterrupted 10 minute segment about a new train running on a line to a popular vacation spot.

A journalist spends most of the segment being absolutely DELIGHTED by every single feature of this tastefully designed train. She sits in every class of car, tries every seat feature, eats a curry in the dining car, enjoys the view out of panorama windows. Arrives rested and gives us a whirlwind tour of town.

This is how you change car culture.

@bagder it is a better visual than one day or two ago because the colors do not cause immediate headache and no need to rotate head 90 degrees ;-)

Randomly noticed that one thing I was making noise about while ago is fixed in #Linux 6.10: you can now #BPF when CONFIG_MODULES=n. It was not my main goal to contribute, just make the issue visible, but there was also one of my patches in the final version (nice surprise because it was alien area in kernel for me).

The priority for me was to squeeze down the compilation time for testing/CI while still having up to date tracing capabilities.

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 🤷

@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 ;-)

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 ;-)
