@unfa hmm maybe some synth or midi plugin has a bug and stops working after receiving all-notes-off? what plugins were you using there that used midi?

@unfa same recommendation as last time - use the carla patchbay internal plugin and do whatever stuff is needed inside. parameters are exposed to the outside, so you can tweak things a bit even with the extra patchbay window closed

@unfa cool, let me know if you find any issues! You got VST3 now on Linux too btw 😎

@unfa I saw you were having issues there finding newly added plugins. I just fixed that! https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/commit/c986c868602c7c3fa7e90ae2747074aa8341608d

@unfa the code size is quite big and is templated (so many variable types like int, float, double, etc) can re-use the same code. this makes the final object binary too big

damn juce is now so bloated we need to use "-Wa,-mbig-obj" for building in debug mode... 😱

@unfa what if you used the instance at chat.kx.studio? I would be quite happy to have you onboard, can certainly tweak things as needed for you.
I already added a few channels based on what you also have \(^-^)/

@unfa maybe.. but there are some tools missing and needs more time to mature.
I would not trust it to run a big application like Ardour at this point.
PipeWire is like Wayland, it is coming and for some people (mostly Gnome/Fedora folks) it is already there. But still needs more time before it works well for everyone, everywhere.

@unfa I think long-term this will pass through pipewire.
If it has a good configuration tool, it will basically "just work".
You don't need to care about alsa, or pulseaudio, or jack.
I specially like that there is no setup required in order to support multiple audio cards.

The MOD Dwarf kickstarter campaign has started!
Proud to be part of the team.
Check it out, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modduo/mod-dwarf 😎

Glad to see it is not just me avoiding discord.

We have much better freedom-respecting options nowadays anyway.

@gcrkrause @unfa almost everything is better than google, in regards to tracking (except facebook lol).
I was being pedantic there.

It is generally okay to use peertube sites, much better than youtube in terms of leaking data for sure. But it is not full leak-proof. Maybe nothing is.. :(

@unfa @gcrkrause correct. from what I see in your link, the page does not load anything that is external, so no connection to google analytics, hotjar metrics or anything like that.
peertube sites for now require enabling JS which is not ideal, but understandable...

@gcrkrause @unfa peertube uses p2p, so I would not consider it much better in terms of leaking data...
It is great in the sense that taking down videos is much harder, but p2p solutions leak data by default :/

Videos for FOSDEM 2020 are up!
https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/ 😀

As someone that cares about data privacy, after watching this video I must absolutely recommend it.
It is a good take on a person trying to explain the issue to someone not very conscious/caring of it yet.

Let's play a little game.
Spot the new plugins! https://kx.studio/Repositories:Plugins

@Sturmflut@mastodon.technology the calculator is opensource, so that's something...?

Microsoft gets a *lot* of money from their EOL OSes, it is working quite nicely for now. I doubt they will change anything about it. I will be very glad to be proven wrong.

@unfa I use ublock and didnt see such a thing. It was the first time for me using this site, so I am not sure how good or bad it is.
I can understand the adblock thing, speed tests are very expensive to maintain. But for sure it is not an error to have it, they just scare people into disabling it there.
