Just created jarkk0.bsky.social, as "jarkko" was already taken but that will do :-) Never got invite so arriving a bit late..,

Cool, the firmware update for #1010music #Bluebox digital mixer brought an USB audio interface to it. I was super happy with it already but do not complain!. https://1010music.com/product/bluebox

Changing user account name in #Linux-based operating systems is not hard, but can at least be inconvenient dance to do for various reasons. Just to give an example, sometimes root account needs to be enabled for password login temporarily so that home directory name can be changed without issues.

It would be super nice if this could be done similarly as with TPM chips and machine over keys (aka MOK managed with mokutil). I.e. there would be a way to set out a request for username change for logged in local account and upon next reboot there would be a query for new account name, and this process would be taken care of renaming username, group and home directory.

User name and group name are trivial because they don’t really change any identifiers associated with the user but AFAIK usermod completely denies home directory name change for a logged in account.

another thing that still puzzles me in #yubikey: i do not get short and long press, other than that if someone else gets access to my key,it is game over :-)

perhaps i've misunderstood the feature but at least on surface it looks insecure by design...

OK, so I've been wondering for a long time why my #yubikey's fails sometimes, and sometimes works: it goes to #USB-A both sides :-)

I switched year ago...

We are now in the middle of "Oops"

it is funny how old school #tracker's got it right but modern drum #plugin's do not: preset should be self-contained with the samples packed to the preset file.

I like ToguAudioLine's Drum, and more recently Klevgrand OneShot, but both carry this gltich in their arhitecture. Sitala on the other hand does support zip package with the preset file and samples so I use that to archive curated samples and then move them to appropriate drum plugin for playback.... It is no that inconvenient but feels a bit counter-productive tbh.

Bitwig's Drum Kit does the right thing but it is unusable in other DAW"s.

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

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

ordered new #headphones: https://aiaiai.audio/headphones/tma-2-studio-wireless-plus
can't wait :-)

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…

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

This is my de-facto approach to kicks with #Bitwig: I put the reference made with KICK2 to the sampler and then fit my curves to it :-) #audio

despite being #tpm maintainer had no idea of this https://lore.kernel.org/tpm2/. not eagerly subscribing because there is too much email already :-) neither idea what it is about

i think this is time give a shot lei, which @monsieuricon and synchronize maildir so i can check what is going on from time to time but it does not interrupt if i do not want to.

#linux #kernel

Switched from "Hack" to "Iosevka" because people do not know these days what Enter-key is 🤷 #email

So how does Rust Linux use misc? I do not see bindings for misc_register(). #linux #kernel #rustlang

#cmake is all things considered pretty nice tool for orchestrating projects with e.g. #buildroot generated image, documentation and some other assets. age and maturity also brings benefits, and it is not nearly as torture as autotools...

i don't really use it as a tool build a C-program. i almost solely use it for invoking other build systems etc. to do what they are good at.

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.
