Another take, I am super on it with gun safety, but not storage. There are never minors allowed in my home, and a gun isn’t useful unless you can get to it easily and it’s ready to go. Only guns resting inside the safe are unloaded, all the guns that work for a living have loaded magazines and a round in the chamber (I don’t own any 1911 pattern guns, if I did, they would not be chambered.) Also, no exposed trigger, everything is in a holster.

Not really. It can all be faked. Virtual Directory Servers are a thing. Live javascript transformation of data from a non MS LDAP server, functioning as AD. Just match up the schema, and go. You get real multi master replication (no idea if MS has this now, but they didn’t at the time) and an actually performant server. Plus all the logs just pipe over to your syslog server so you don’t have to rdp into a server and look at event viewer. It can all be done from the shell on the jump server you use to manage everything else.

AD is just LDAP with extra steps.

Gentoo. They’re talking about Gentoo.

I’ve managed to banish all but one windows and one osx install from my house. What’s stopping me is a bazillion little windows utility programs for things like updating firmware on radios and such, and some hardware integrated commercial software: Ableton Live, and Serato DJ. I’ve tried lmms, mixxx, ardour, xwax, and many others. I just haven’t been able to be creative with making and mixing music with the open source tools out there. Mixxx is getting really close, but doesn’t have video integration last I checked.

I keep asking these two companies when they will put out a build for linux and have been met with varied responses from corpo garbage to laughter. It’s disappointing.

How many pairs of underwear do you have? How many screwdrivers? After you pass 2 of something, it becomes something you don’t keep in mind. I know where all the guns I have that are not in the safe are around my house (no kids), but I have to take mental inventory to get a count of how many I own. Same thing with computers, rc cars, and other hobbies.

Am over 30, sign me up.

Bo Burnham sounds like a fucking idiot. Despite his size, Goliath was defeated by a well placed projectile.

Lilygo uses old stock bb keyboards, I think. Looks exactly like the one an employer had me carry.

If you can, I highly recommend you try it out. There’s relatively inexpensive tube amps, even on Amazon that you could play with and box back up if it’s not your cup of tea. I just looked at the compressor I use and the price has gone up to a point where it doesn’t make much sense anymore, but it is SUPER useful to add some warmth in between a digital source and the class d amps I use in my PA system.

I’m curious if you’ve tried listening to lossy compressed audio through a vacuum tube output stage? I use a cheap tube compressor with the attack and release turned to minimal and just a little bit of extra makeup gain so that the tube colors the audio a small amount. Think of it like sanding the layer lines of a 3d print, but for audio. It does introduce a small amount of hiss and colors the midrange a bit more prominently, but you can eq that out.

If you are using the files played back at different tempos or keyshifted, the difference between lossy and lossless is a lot more apparent. For standard playback at normal pitch, mp3 is just fine.

Every time I try to slow down my car, I hear chopped up and recontextualized Amens…

I hate it that you’re so right about this.

This has nothing to do with DeepSeek. The world has run out of flashy leather jackets for Jensen to wear, so nvidia is toast.

I’m delusional, then. Spotify hasn’t paid me a red cent, but piracy has indirectly put money in my pocket and food on my table.

Sometimes it does. Piracy drives up sales of traditional media (think: vinyl), as well as increasing crowd size at live performances. Also, merch sales scale with awareness of an artist. All of these things equal the payout of millions of plays on spoffy.

I did not know this.

The Salesperson is incredibly important. They take the person responsible for making the purchase decision out to lunch and for rounds of golf, after all!
