https://i.imgur.com/MX6Djj5.png Spent quite literally all of yesterday designing CNC schematics for a case for my split keyboard. This is the acrylic top, M5 bolt holes etc. Enormous amount of effort and expensive, too. Not sure if worth but pretty interesting to do.

I so want a split ergo keyboard with the dactyl-style concave bed. Shame they are absurdly expensive forever. Something like an Advantage360? Hell yeah.

Drank out yesterday. There was this random band, but the guitarist shredded something incredible. Actually possibly the best solos I've ever heard, I need to incorporate some of the ideas he used into my own playing.

The graph-based audio routing of pipewire/Jack is amazing. Want to route your guitar VST into a Discord call? Pull L/R from vst to call. Done. Want to go deaf? Pull sound card outputs to inputs. Done. Want to mix sixty audio outputs into a single channel for some reason in any given application in the entire system? Somehow... done. Actual magic.

Oh look, EU's chat control doing rounds again. Won't die. Desktop computing dying. Internet becoming a locked-down monoculture. Hmmm... give it 10 years, irrespective of any societal upheaval- feel like it's over. Won't be 2005 again, it's just going to be cable and tech literacy a thing of the past. I don't know anyone who owns a computer irl, anymore.

Hmm practicing some Rust for fun. Ow my pinky, must rebind everything so I never need to press shift or ctrl. Already bound {}/\&% onto right hand lol.

Ahhhh. Guitar Rig 7 on Linux. I'm in love, Guitarix wasn't cutting it, this sounds *incredible*. Yabridge + Carla, had to roll back Wine to 9.0 since it's kinda broken with it since 9.4+. Incredible, incredible sounds. Super good compressors.

I config til there's nothing left! Just got Photoshop 2021 working on openSUSE, with GPU support. If that works in a stable manner, Windows is pretty much completely obsoleted for me. Haven't logged into it for over a month (except to grab some fonts that were symlinked.)

Played Indika. Fuck me that was bleak and cynical, but very effective. Big fan, though could've been a movie.
💬 0 Replies · 1 Thumb · 1 month ago
Turns out Guitarix is... *pretty* good. Definitely passable. Also, inexplicably, Linux's audio is better than Windows'. ASIO hijacks it all, but Pipewire? You can just record it with anything. Still trying to make presets that compete with my Guitar Rig 5 presets, but I'm sure it can be done. Just a bit'a fiddlin to be done.

What's your guys' preferred app for android - linux local network file share? I don't have dropbox on this side and I'd rather not write the thing myself, lol. Just something that can quickly share pictures and such.

After two more reinstalls, (Lol my boot USB was in BIOS mode. Figures.) I am finally properly dual-boot'd. Lagrange idents imported, most everything reasonably up to speed. Another evening spent fighting keyboard customisation with Wayland, I've simply fixed my X11 and abandoned the former for its /evil/ lack of kb customs- my poor wrists can't take all that shifting lol. Oh and a new Ryzen 5600 coming in a day or so, small upgrade over the old 3600.

Got a roll of portra 400 comin in next wednesday. I got em digitised too so I'll look at whether any of them are worth posting. Should have a few cool ones. Next one's on Ektar 100 since it's so bright out.

I have a couple cool new lenses: a 70-200mm f4.5 and a 28mm f2.8. Been shooting a bunch with the big zoom tube, lotsa urban photography. Precious, sweet, *cheap* old FD mount.

I got a pop-up today announcing that win10 will reach its EOL next year... I think it's time to finally install Linux properly on my desktop hardware. Ordered a little nvme so I can keep my music/gaming software on the win-side that I'll just... allow to "upgrade" to 11 and keep it compartmentalised away from anything else. I'm thinking... EndeavourOS maybe. Eh, will see.

Ahhh finally found a good way to get my speakers outta the way- hooked them on the bookshelf on the other side of the apartment to an old laptop, also on said bookshelf, ssh into it to run cmus or mpv etc. Ideal apartment audio.

I just discarded 2 days of code and now am fixing the 40 bugs that I created in the process. I'm surrendering this codebase to a higher power now. Attached is me currently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJUhlRoBL8M

I have coded more. TIl 8am last night. Welp, everything is automated, as many bits as you like per colour channel. Turns out even 4 bits of info per channel is barely noticeable. I am 100% over modular arithmetic forever. I dreamt of it and slept very poorly, lol.

Random chat platform idea: every user starts with 1 "socket". Press "connect" on that socket and you're randomly connected to another user, and after chatting a bit, you can accept/deny the connection. Getting an accept gives you 1 extra socket. (you can close connections at will). Getting 2 denies loses you one. You can choose to open the new socket for a new connection, which will randomly be sampled from all users, biased toward users related to more "accepted" users. Slowly you gain available sockets and are paired with a dynamically changing graph of users who share your interests. Like an evolving omegle.

Been feeling all dizzy and very forgetful, foggy for four weeks since having a mild cold. I swear to god if I get some sudden long covid thing that stays with me forever, bring on the ME/CFS, gaaahhhh.

The new Shogun adaptation is pretty great, though some clever cinematographer got the clever idea of using a wide-open anamorphic lens for every shot, making the whole thing look like a hazy fisheye dreamscape. So much vignetting, chromatic aberration, and distortion.

Developments in AI make me think about whether I should consider humanity's greatest strength its ability to deduce and think logically, which is being challenged, or just the ability to enjoy one's life, outside the nihilistic perspective of everything turning to dust and being forgotten in the course of thousands of years of history. Of course, for some, enjoying one's life is synonymous with intellectual challenge and accomplishment, but I guess I fear most that the average person will no longer feel impelled to challenge oneself when an unsurpassable creative force can dictate to them any mechanical course of action, or even thought.

Heyy, just got my first roll of film in. I'd say 30% good pics, 30% technically ok, terrible composition, 40% bad shots. I'm actually really into the ones that were underexposed on a strong light. Pet photos were obviously a gimme with an f/1.8 so those'll be popular. I got double prints cause it's free on mondays.

My important service to the world today: you probably mean "raises the question" when you say "begs the question", unless you mean the logical fallacy of assuming the conclusion in the premises, /petitio principii/.

My favourite existential philosophy is the mathematical universe hypothesis, which asserts that the universe is fundamentally nothing but math, and truth. A Turing machine can add numbers together... play a game... theoretically simulate a finite universe... The fact that that mathematical structure obviously can exist can give birth to a reality simply by being an even theoretically sound idea. You and I, its natural consequence at some unfathomably high-numbered step.

I'm considering signing every diary entry and blog post and whatnot with "in the year of two plus two equals four" in 2024. It's too good to pass up.
