Rent situation in Berlin is beyond ridiculous, to the point where I am curiously looking at other european cities to compare... 👀

But then it only makes the problem worse, I rather not be one of those "expats" that ruin a city by means of gentrification.

Don't see many alternatives, already tried (re)living with parents and it is really not the best for many reasons...

This whole situation sucks

I must have done it more than 10 times today, I keep writing "22.07" even though we are in 2023 right now.

What happened to 2022 you silly brain 🧠 ❓

It is release day!

Today we get new Ildaeil:

And also Cardinal:

Enjoy!

Just updated the OBS + Carla (plugin hosting) Ubuntu PPA.
See https://launchpad.net/~falktx/+archive/ubuntu/carla+obs for details

This PPA is basically a repackage of the official OBS one from https://launchpad.net/~obsproject/+archive/ubuntu/obs-studio
See https://github.com/KXStudio/Repository/tree/master/sources/apps/obs-studio for the script and patch file used to generate the custom OBS packages.

@trummerschlunk please ping/forward our CC friends about the update :)

noticed a bunch of CI failures lately, a quick investigation reveals github updated their CI images again, of course 🤦‍♂️

there goes another afternoon debugging and figuring out something that still makes it all work...

On the topic of #ubuntusummit submitted a talk proposal just now, 50m for talking about the custom Linux-embed based OS created by https://mod.audio/dwarf/

Basically talking about what I do as a job, there are not that many chances for that typically.
(in the right context that is, talking about it without getting boring to the ones listening 😅)

ok workshop abstract submitted for #ubuntusummit

let's make use of the latest OBS + Carla feature integration to help the common folks get a nice and "all-in-one" live-stream setup!

nothing prepared for it at all yet, besides the software itself.
initial idea is just to show off some initial OBS audio setup, then demonstrate adding some simple plugins (noise gate, eq, etc) then going wild with the full carla patchbay stuff 🤘 😄 🤘

1h should be enough, right?

Preparing for submitting a workshop idea for #ubuntusummit next November.

Everything is fine and easy, except:

> Please provide a short bio (up to 150 words per author) that we can use to tell readers more about you and what you do.

😱 errr why you do this. presenter doesn't matter, the content does.
I also really dont want to talk about myself.. I guess some generic boring description will do.

Slowly preparing for the new releases, all main blockers are done and even managed to handle the new Cardinal module coming for next release in 7 days - reintroducing AIDA-X, now on your modular! :D

Assuming AIDA-DSP folks are ok with the design that is, but the DSP side already fully works.

It is basically the very recent https://github.com/AidaDSP/AIDA-X inside Cardinal.

Finally wrote something on Patreon trying to explain current situation.

It is more of a personal note than anything technical, so not sure if that much interesting, depends on the people..

Anyhow since there was a recent influx of new patrons, and I hadn't posted in a while, it was about time for a little update.
So there you go :)

Are these cool? Should I make more of them?
