I benchmarked that in the time window of one hour meeting I can prepare lasagne from zero to oven. This is my official Google Meet lasagne.

When using audio plugins with Linux DAW's, I'd use unconditionally Windows plugins:

1. Everything in one basket.
2. Wine folder is easy to backup.
3. Plugins suck as software and they spray your system with worst garbage ever. This way they spray only (backed up) Wine folder.

At least I pick always Windows version even if there is option to install "native" Linux plugin.

In the case of audio plugins Windows plugin is as native as Linux plugin because they don't produce any audio. An audio plugin is just a data sink, source or pipe wrapped into a fancy packaging :-)

Quick recipes to get OVMF and AAVMF anywhere:

OVMF:

curl -sSf https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/ovmf-0.0.202308-r2.apk | tar zx --strip-components 3 usr/share/OVMF/OVMF.fd

AAVMF:

curl -sSf https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/aarch64/aavmf-0.0.202308-r2.apk | tar xz --strip-components 3 usr/share/AAVMF/QEMU_EFI.fd

Distributions place these files in variable places when they deploy QEMU and EDK2 so it is is good to have ubiquitous method for acquiring them for e.g. kernel testing.

Just for plain interest: why bunch of MS Surface patches are out-of-tree?

I don't know the topic too well really but does not sound on surface (pun not intended) that complicated, does it?

I know some projects who build their own kernel just for the sake of this particular set of kernel patches.

Do you like saying "perkele" a lot?

After I turned some health crap on in my iPhone, I realized that I walk at minimum 5km almost every day. Health benefit on not driving a car 🙂 I tend to walk all less than 10km distances.

Good morning! ☕

Ah the memories one finds at the bottom of a desk drawer... Once upon a time this was a really cool thing.

One could also call a reject patch series "job security" ;-) I would not complain...
