Mit trådløse netværk forsvinder næsten hver fredag lidt efter frokost. Meget mystisk. Det er hos Oister/3, men de melder aldrig fejl i driftstatus.

I believe it's called data poisoning, which theoretically could be used to hack something in some theoretical situation.

It's not the case here. He simply left a turd on the sidewalk and then the AI picked it up.

I think you overestimate how much time the companies buying ads spend on analyzing the data, or if they even get that data.

The company selling the ad also doesn't have much interest in transparent reporting.

The end result is that neither the company selling the ads or the company buying the ads have any interest in the ads. They both only care about their own sales numbers. Fuck the consumers, fuck the product, fuck the ads. Only sales.

I don't think they even care about profits anymore.

Billionaires live in the balance sheet, not the P/L statements.

I don't want rich people to behave.

I want them to pay back the money that they stole, so that there will be no rich people.

Energy production being local is a benefit.

Just like the fediverse being unaffected by some servers going down. Deliberately or accidentally, doesn't matter, the rest will keep up.

Smaller production is also easier to scale up. You can erect a solar farm in a month or shorter, while a nuclear power plant takes a decade to build.

It's possible in Denmark too. However they usually only get to the conclusion that they need help after they have been caught in possession of illegal materials.

The psychologists working on it have difficulty getting funding for research. The questions are if it really is a disease on it's own and if it's treatable. There's not a lot of valid data to work with. This made the news last year or so.

I'm no psychologist but my impression is that it's more like a symptom of a different trauma, which might make more sense to throw money at. It would be interesting to hear from the psychologists who work in prisons.

Anyway, the foundation Save The Children has hotlines for young people who are concerned with their sexuality in one way or the other.

It appears to be a line signal, so it should be fine. But then again, we can't see what's on the other end. Could be a nuclear power plant for all we know.

Sometimes they're right though.

Of course not if it's a verifiable fact, but as I've grown older, I have seen plenty of historical "facts" getting proven to be wrong. All it takes is for a young mind to challenge the existing views.

Having an open mind is more important than being right. Most inventions happen by accident while pursuing something else, something wrong.

I recently got fed up with spending hours making my MIDI devices work in Windows. Everytime I plugged the USB hub with my controllers into Windows, it would reassign the ports and I'd have to use the ancient Korg utility to remove dead ports. This is a really old issue that Microsoft claims was fixed ten years ago, but never was. So I decided to test if Linux can handle MIDI devices better.

It seemed to work fine on an old Mint laptop that I have around, but since I'd rather use the newer laptop and since I still need Windows on that for work, I decided to try out putting everything on a USB stick for portability. Also, the old laptop which I might use sometimes is a bit too slow for Mint, so I needed something smaller.

So, the idea is to put the OS, the DAW, the plug-ins and samples on one single stick. I happened to have a 8gb USB that I found on a parking lot. It's kinda dirty and broken, so I figured it was perfect for the experiment. Yes, I do know that flash drives aren't good for this, and when I'm done playing around, I will probably get an external SSD for this purpose instead.

8gb is not a lot for this, but I like the challenge.

At first I wasted another evening trying to make Slax boot. I gave up and found Poppy Linux instead, since I do want the tiny and persistent kind of installation. It's a bit slow to boot into ram, but it's nice and quick once at the desktop.

For a DAW I got Reaper working just fine simply by extracting the files from the official webpage. No install required.

It recognized my MIDI devices and audio interface instantly. No issues at all, no missing dependencies or drivers or whatever, and better yet: It's still works after rebooting. I made a setup of the devices to control mixer actions in Reaper and that also saves fine as expected.

Now getting plugins is a bit of an issue. It seems that most people run Wine to use VSTs, but I decided to stick with free native Linux plugins and those are somewhat more difficult to find.

So far I've found Helm for a synth and LSP for a samples. I plan on recording real instruments mostly, so I only need the essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised that the linux download for LSP also ships with a bunch of effect plug-ins. Highly recommended: https://lsp-plug.in/index.php

I have yet to make any music other than test tracks, but it seems that my idea works so far. The installation is completely independent of which computer I have available, so I guess I will be using Linux in one way or the other to make music going forwards.

I get notifications on new messages that don't show in the inbox, and mark as read doesn't clear the message from unread.

Manually switching from all/unread seems to work and clears the read messages
