This is a screenshot of the most beautiful karma post of 2024.

After having abused his ownership of X for two years, Brazil becomes the first country to simply shut down X.

The legally elected social democratic government of Brazil experienced a January 6 style coup attempt by anti-democratic, hard-right nationalist Bolsonaro in January 2023.

They have since fought a long legal battle to get Musk to shut down X accounts related to this coup.

Musk refused.

So they shut him down.

I have accountant for my company now. Had a meeting yesterday. I decided to go to a traditional accountant office and pay for personal accountant. I think this spending will come back!

I.e. not using one of those fancy Internet platforms. IMHO, great accountant is the same for a company as a great doctor is for a person.

Yet another audio post. this is my basic "per-channel" use case for tape emulation. I care about the eq curve here mainly. for most sounds you want to soften the top and bottom.

It is like perfect placeholder EQ + saturation for a channel. Then by adjusting mixer gain I can go a long way before doing anything more sophisticated :-)

Essential tool with #Storj: https://cyberduck.io/

To save some time upgrading all U-he plugins I did:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

wget -q --show-progress -r -np -nd -l1 -A Mac.zip https://uhe-dl.b-cdn.net/releases/ -P dl/
for file in dl/*.zip; do unzip -j -o "$file" -d staging "*.pkg"; done
for file in staging/*.pkg; do sudo installer -pkg "$file" -target /; done

This is great because MPE-parameters can be misused as automation parameters :-) Less automation curves better...

Beware, there is an ongoing spambot attack in issues in several projects were random people suggest "the fix" is to download a random file from mediafire.com. Like this:

IMHO, the most useful thing in its simplicity at least I've had for MSEG in Bitwig: drop-in replacement for LFO Tool.

I actually still use LFO Tool to "design" the side-chain curve and then just match it with Curves modulator and Tool device.

Actually this is what I do a lot: use VST first given e.g. nicer visual feedback and then replicate with stock devices. Best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned :-)

I could imagine world without virtual memory ;-) Like back 80s memory model. You could have security by CPU enforcing the borders (and actually would address quite many modern attack vectors).

Not a serious proposal. Still would be totally doable. Like if you have 128 GB of RAM with my normal use I could pretty much do all my tasks easily in partitioned environment.

Considering Durov's arrest, it is not huge surprise since:

1. Telegram's security is not that great. Not sure if it is legislation compliant but I doubt it.
2. It has become the place for buying malware and stole data.
3. It has become the place for buying narcotics.

For two last I have no idea why is Telegram preferred over Tor these days.

Just in case anyone's still stuck with the SBAT issue on the Linux systems and can't easily disable secure boot for whatever reason - boot a live Fedora image, open a terminal, run

sudo mokutil --set-sbat-policy delete

and reboot. shim should now clear the sbat policy and you're back in business. Don't allow Windows Update to run again until things are sorted.
