Replace B with N, supposedly.

Employers figured out years ago that caffeine has excellent ROI for productivity. (Amphetamines are probably a close second, but we won't talk about that right now.)

For Intel to cut basic morale boosters was just pure silliness.

I have been seeing some positive vibes coming from .ml over the last day or so. Kinda cool, actually.

~~wrong~~ different

There is no such thing as normal, so embrace who you are in all of your different ways.

Even if physical handicaps are involved, like you actually can't walk a straight line or if you have difficulty breathing, that has its own challenges but it's not wrong.

And yeah. People can be really dick'ish sometimes and that sucks. The sooner you stop giving a fuck what they think, the sooner you can be happier with yourself.

The second I embraced who I was, in my own ways, I could stop killing myself slowly with booze. Alcohol was just my own way of coping and it really sucked.

It's impossible for me to fully understand what you are going through, but FWIW, I can relate. And trust me, life can get better if you let it, but make no mistake: I know it ain't as easy as saying the words.

Chin up and keep on keepin' on!

I see an incredible history of shit posting, but as far as I looked back, there wasn't any spam. Bulk posting shit posts still sticks with a general theme.

B. No illegal content.

While this particular community probably would not have an issue with "illegal content", it still remains an extremely vague depending on where in the world you live. Are we talking about international law or laws in some random community in Texas?

Using simple numbers can help determine an unknown formula, sometimes. While there are easier formulas I am sure, I am just going to "reverse engineer" this one with the data I have.

In that example, I have a 2:1 ratio (3 parts total) with a final volume of 10fl/oz.

10floz / 3 parts is ~3.3 per part. 2 * 3.3 = 6.6, 1 * 3.3 = 3.3

6.6 + 3.3 = 9.9 (close enough..)

So, what we do is determine what is "one part" of the mixture, and then do some basic math on the given ratio.

The lead would make the bacon a bit sweeter and should mask the gunpowder undertones.

 
 

I have two MacBooks that I acquired through two different startups. Both companies no longer exist and I was basically given the laptops. (They have just been sitting in my closet for a few years collecting dust, and it seems like a waste.)

Unfortunately, now that I want to use the laptops as part of a local k8s cluster (or even dedicated music production hardware), I am locked out of wiping the things because they want to connect to MDM servers that no longer exist or have admin passwords that have long since been forgotten.

Since these laptops are essentially "bricked" I have no problems opening them up and attempting hardware hacks to get around this stuff.

Both laptops are in various states of reset or wipe due to previous attempts to reset. (Funny thing, actually. I was personally responsible for locking down one of these laptops at the time they were in corporate use...)

Trash or treasure? I dunno. I am apple-dumb.

 

I am seeing this on more places than just catbox now. Sometimes on instance based hosting or other types of hosting services.

 

Edit: Deleting this post. It's starting to get controversial, but that's OK. Not what I planned on, but whatevers.

 

The one trick that Big Music doesn't want you to know!

I was absolutely struggling when I went to do a final mix after writing everything in stereo. For me, it was a whack-a-mole game: Fixing one problem created ten more, bass was unmanageable, highs tended to blare or everything was a midrange soup and I constantly struggled with frequency cancellation.

Above all other problems, music was not portable. It would sound great with headphones, but became a blown out mess on external speakers.

Mono. Just write everything in mono. If the track sounds good in mono, even just the slightest bit of stereo separation makes it sound awesome!

As a perk, it forced me to learn more about compression and limiting and when it is applicable. If something is inaudible in mono, it's going to sound like absolute garbage in stereo. (It also forced me into EQ'ing nearly every component of a song at first. I am not nearly as aggressive with that now, but again, it opened up new doors that I didn't realize existed.)

Why, oh why, is this technique not pushed more to hobbyists and beginners? Is there a shortcoming that I am not aware of?

Obviously, this isn't a cure-all and I kinda framed this post as a magic trick. Its one hell of a teaching tool, if nothing else.

 

(Wait, what? This is from 2022??? I have known about CAL for a while, but this glass stuff is new to me.)

CAL: computed axial lithography

Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a new way to 3D-print glass microstructures that is faster and produces objects with higher optical quality, design flexibility and strength, according to a new study published in the April 15 issue of Science.

 

I am fed up with resin slicers.

Chitubox is about as stable as a drunk on a tightrope, Lychee is bad for engineering models and over-priced if you just want some basic support functions and PrusaSlicer is under-developed. All of these solutions work for different things based on the goals of the user. (For some, Lychee is an excellent value so my distaste is likely not universal.)

What really pissed me off is that support painting shouldn't be a paid feature. You hold the mouse button down and drop a support at specific distance from the last. It doesn't take massive cloud computational clusters or huge storage requirements but yet, money. Fuck. That.

I want a completely FOSS tool that is stable and includes functionality for auto-positioning models and has a full set of knobs and levers for support generation, support painting included.

So, I spent the morning getting a dev environment setup for PrusaSlicer to use as a base for resin-only tools. Over the next month or so, I'll take some time to strip out all the FDM support and get the slicer into a bare-bones state with only the existing resin features. Of course, it'll be on GitHub.

Back to the main subject. I was hoping that y'all had references in regards to anything resin printing: Support placement methods, model rotation optimization, resin strength data, FEP peel force data or anything that could be coded and implemented into a slicer. Hell, even discovering different methods for hollowing an STL would be nice.

Data and strategies for various tools would be nice to have at this point to at least start forming a roadmap for development. (One of the first goals is to integrate UVTools as a snap-in, somehow.)

FDM tools are plentiful because of wide spread adoption. Resin printers still seem niche so printer manufacturers naturally gravitate to writing their own tools for their own hardware in their race to the bottom.

With all of that said, I am actually curious if others would even want to see a project like this kicked off.

 

I have been using FL Studio for years. It was easy to pirate when I was younger and broke, and it's still flexible enough for anything I want to do now without hassle. (The license these days is "meh" for clips and plugins. However, I am designing and beginning to record most of my own instruments now with a core set of plugins.)

I would like to experiment with an open source DAW, but not sure which routes to take there.

 

Spinner shows while thumbnail is being shown after upload and thumbnail is being generated, but not when actually uploading. (I am attempting to attach gif to this post, but not sure if upload has failed, still going or just not possible.)

I am mobile while I am creating this post, so uploads are laggy anyway.

 

Search is fine, but there have been several cases where I have wanted to manually enter a community name and instance.

Search can be odd at times and being able to have connect at least attempt to jump to a community would be a nice to have.

 

Edit: I can now post and view cat pics. Yay!

Searching for "cat" or "cats" yields [email protected] with Connect, but not from web. "cat" is an invalid community.

[email protected] should be correct community and listed in search results.
