I get a lot of questions about my Linux voice chain! Here's what it looks like~ 🎤
It all runs on Carla on my M2 streaming machine next to OBS and Inochi2D! All the plugins are from the LSP, x42, and Calf packs (except DragonFly which is stand-alone), all open source!

@ostapkobender oh this was one of the cheapest actually, a noob like me needs nothing fancier than this for a while

how come we have a 🎸 emoji but not a :bass: emoji? ridiculous!
I just got a BASS 😀
No, I don't know how to play. This is for having something music related to do that does not involve being on the PC.
Why a bass? Well it is unconditionally and objetively the best string-based instrument, specially when slapped.

Microsoft paid money for this. A lot of money. And they gave it to us for free.
@ildus I dont want to use any apps. Plus requiring to use a specific kind of phone seems ridiculous to me.
anyhow none of these tools are opensource, my use of them is as limited as it can possibly get
Found a workaround for my online banking woes... run the iOS app on a M1 mac mini machine!
Needs an Apple account, which personally I think is better than a Google one (which I no longer have and do not wish to have).
The iOS ecosystem is very closed down, so no iPhone/iPad whatever for me thanks (lets see what they do after the EU thing passes).
It is a bit of a weird setup and the shitty app even wants biometric data for some things.
But the main tasks work, can do transfters again lol 😅

I wrote a bit about my experience with applying for #funding 💰 for #ArchLinux related projects over the past years:

any video platform where you go to watch a single video and it starts automatically playing other shit afterwards loses my respect.
why do platforms need to copy shitty behaviours from each other?
does anyone actually want automatic playback of unrelated videos by default?

I've taken some time off to recenter myself, and now I'm officially re-entering the job market.
If you're in need of a technical editor, writer, or manager of either, or if you know someone who'd be interested, let's talk.
I've worked on tutorials for DigitalOcean, books for O'Reilly and Pragmatic, and other stuff besides.
Boosts for reach are appreciated.

Synapse (the Matrix server implementation) is moving to an AGPL+CLA model.
Their announcement reminds us that this allows them to ship non-open-source derives in exchange for a fee. The wording is very clear: they intend to move from an open source model to an open core model.
Take great care when relying on this software. All the legal elements are in place so as to pull the rug from under you and screw over the community. There is no ambiguity here.
@MrMagne there are usb-midi expression pedals, fastest way would be through that.
@graves501 it is *done*, as in, I already presented it.
Presentation done, "Making a standalone effects pedal system based on embed Linux".
Underestimated how much time it all took, needed more! 😅
But the parts I skipped were all optional if there was enough time, so no real loss.
There are no live-streams for stuff outside the main hall like mine, so online folks have to wait until the recordings are up. Might take up to 2 months.
Anyhow, now to better enjoy the conference. 🎉
