Was going to say this exact thing, good thing someone else of sound sense has typed the correct answer. Just turn the screw pictured open (counter-clockwise) ever so slightly to let air out (makes hiss) and tighten once water comes out (makes no sound).

At least as far back as keyboard instruments have been around I could be a musician. Ending up further in time, I’d be a composer; the guy that revolutionised polyphony.

When you log out, have a script take screenshot, blur it and save to a known file.

Conf your display manager to use that file as background.

I do this! Friendly reminder: the Arch Wiki is also in the repo an arch-wiki-docs.

Haha, no. Off by one alphabet, proudly representing X! Referring to the Oriental meditation tradition Zen.

There’s a lot in the Balkan basket that would be on topic, but let’s go with AALKO’OL!

Zenster here would go with weighted blanket grey. ‘Nothing special’.

Here’s one who always liked customising the daily driver computers - Sway, custom configs, painting the laptop cover with very permanent enamel paint. Reasons are to make it run reliably, serving my preferences and looking nice and cared for.

Similar reasons apply with the car and motorcycle, only with the car it’s not cheap fun (bike stuff is actually very reasonably priced). But I figured since I get paid every month, I’m going to use money on what sparks joy. And I’m keeping it sensible, only one car and bike at a time :}

My scheme might come useful to somebody.

On the home server, there is a 2 Tb solid state drive and a 2 Tb spinning drive. Stuff goes on the SSD, it’s a regular ext4 volume mounted at /work. The spinning drive is configured to spin down after 10 min when not in use.

Once a week a script mounts the spinny one, runs an rsync from SSD to it, then unmounts. Thus the spinny one only runs about 20 min per week: it’s going to last forever. If the SSD borks it’s easily replaced and repopulated.

I’ve ran a 4 in, 4 out ADAT-CAT5 snake thingy on Linux, so 32 channels in and out. The remote end was synced via Word Clock with the Linux box providing master clock. RME RayDat for a soundcard, RME converters in the remote rack. Worked 100 % flawlessly, I even did live sound on it. ADAT is a ‘just works’ thing, go for it. You just need to understand that one device needs to be the clock master and others follow that.

Thumb-key by Lemmy’s own dessalines. I even contributed a layout early on, and it’s still there.

Thanks for this 😊 It certainly wasn’t easy to let the muse go, here’s hoping you will manage it smoothly - or better, find a way to keep the flame going ❣️

Music. I played piano since very young, started making tracks on 4-track and the Amiga around 10 years old, kept going deeper with the demoscene and playing in + recording bands. Went on to do a music degree, got a job making music…

Hobby became serious, then it turned into a ball and chain. I turned around, did a second degree and started working in a different field. Thought I’d keep music as a hobby, but now it presents a different face: no point in making tracks if nobody but me ever listens, nor is there point in producing other people for free with all the invested time most likely never being too fruitful.

I did find a new hobby though. Working out is the antithesis to working on art projects. Put an hour in, get an hour’s worth of gains back. Love it :D

muusikoiden.net

Finnish board for musicians. The marketplace is still where the real deals are at.

The meta aspect of ‘shit’ has to be up there.

One more for Inkscape - I’ve made antenna stencils that need millimeter accuracy with it. LibreOffice Draw is even easier and can do much of the same stuff.

Thank you all! Over 25 years on Linux and still new learnings to discover…

Thanks - this is what I did with a ‘you had one job’ look beaming at the terminal after realising the hidden files were missed and indeed it did the trick.
