From "doffiles to ducttape" should be the name of a presentation; not so sure if #opensuse, #fedora or #linux audience would be interested in this.

@kitten_tech@fosstodon.org @paul@notnull.space @doctormo@floss.social I understood they do not store al lot of this information, but retrieve when needed and on interval; i could be wrong. but makes sense, as storage is expensive.

@SuperMoosie@mastodon.au @krnlg@mastodon.social residential proxies should be made illegal. Note: and manufacturers who do, placed on a list and prevent import/sales. It seems also domestic companies do this.

@krnlg@mastodon.social right, but this seems kinda awkward. looking for updated install instructions? It might be helpful to understand who they are, and as projects take a stance to do something about this in a more coordinated fashion. shared ip blocks, agent refusal, etc.

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems Even worse, it leads to deskilling. Cutting out that process makes people dumb to the solution. There is not even an abstract idea of how it works anymore, just a prompt that was given, ... Which might not even match expectation.

very rough around the edges as most functionality from the RasPi build have been disabled; most views are missing, and some stuff might not trigger/work as expected.

Made a web/wasm build of Schwungspiel. Did a quick test to see if my own format loaded, as the ableton files are still only on the backup disk. Waiting for a new machine, as this computer mysteriosuly keeps crashing due to a thunderbolt dock issue. It should take Abelton Bundles like Move/Note does. Midi in/out has been untested, and there is no drumkit or synth in this build; so sample clips playback only

WSL can be a great tool to enable cross-platform development from Windows. However, you might have to move machines, ... and what if that is actually not a Windows machine? You can use your exported environment easily in a container runtime like #containerd or #podman I just got my 99G environment with mingw64, android-sdk, etc moved over. ... and can continue developing.

@JenMsft I noticed that, while you Move a game to another disk, like "Forza Horizon 5, it still uses "WindowsApps" on the C-drive to keep things in sync. This is annoying, especially if this is a smaller SSD meant to make the machine portalble. I am always out of disk space, because it auto-updates ... and uses my main disk instead.

Got the minimal skin working across two screens with AHK. Wish Mixxx had a way to do this, like a bordeless option... or even two windows. This works for now with some gotchas (it can NOT claim the full workarea as the 'taskbar' is still claimed in size, though not visible).

Simplified it a bit... now only need to handle state, so Meister understands what is happening. (playing or not) I also learned loopMIDI on Windows is very unreliable! tomorrow this will hopefully be resolved with a CME H4MIDI.

Got the first version working of a custom minimal skin for #Mixxx and my web-based control interface; Regrooved and Regroove Meister.

I am not satisfied with the faders I made for Mixxx, but it got close... and took a LOT of effort. More than I hoped was necessary.
