https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge
Program that bridges API calls from Windows VST in Wine to DAW

I heavily recommend using u-he plugins if you don't care about using proprietary software, especially the new Zebra3 (a CPU hog but sounds sublime and insanely versatile), Repro-1 and 5 (Prophet-5 and Pro-One emulations) and Uhbik2 (great suite of effects).
A lot of people swear by Diva, and Bazille is also pretty interesting if you are into weird modular sounds.

TAL also make good plugins with Linux native versions. Haven't tried AudioDamage stuff, but I've heard it's good too.

Otherwise, with yabridge, ValhallaDSP plugins run perfectly for reverb and delay. I had good experiences with the FabFilter suite in the past too. Native Instruments stuff generally works okay. Lightweight plugins from small companies that don't use iLok kind of shit DRM tend to work pretty well too, like Madrona Labs' Aalto or AberrantDSP SketchCassette II and Digitalis.
However, I had no luck with Serum 2 and Lexicon plugins, but I can do without them.

The only thing that sucks is that yabridge hasn't been updated in a long while, and it has a mouse cursor glitch with the latest versions of wine-staging, but it works fine with the normal version in Mint's repos. Let's hope they eventually fix this problem, but so far, I think there is everything needed to make great sounding tracks on Linux.
No Ableton Live and Max For Live sadly (there is Bitwig and PlugData tho), and tinkering and random bugs can be pretty annoying sometimes, but I think there is something really satisfying about having an audio setup working fine on Linux. It used to be much more complicated and restrictive 10 or 15 years ago.



 

was looking into minimal self-hosted alternatives and found texttotalk.org. plaintext only, no images, no markdown, no js tracking. sign up doesn't ask for email, just a username and password (hashed, not stored plain, checked).
no algorithm either, board is just sorted newest/top, nothing ranked to keep you scrolling.
somebody called out the site's html for being div-heavy instead of semantic in a comment, and the dev actually fixed it instead of getting defensive. small thing but tells you something.
worth a look if you're tired of platforms that call themselves "free" while quietly profiling you.

are you aware of the blatant FUD campaign happening
against PGP?

people are bringing irrelevant and wrong facts up about PGP just to call it insecure

somehow most (if not all) of them shill signal at the same time, some of them even suggesting whatsapp instead of PGP.

signal is a centralized IM app that requires your fucking phone number to register. they have huge aversion against 3rd party appstores and don't want any custom fork / implementation of "open source" signal client. somehow this is much better than PGP encrypted email over an anonymous network.

(taking gnupg as reference)

"it's old therefore it's bad"

it's continuously updated / modernized and uses a separate library for all crypto operations anyway. it even supports PQ crypto

Uhh exilent question, I like to use youtube and a bit of touching grass what about you guys?
also I like playing online games
There are plenty of social medias out there

>Youtube

>X
>Reddit
>Discord
> AND I don't fucking know
I'm banned from reddit and X is full of bots
So I only use discord and Youtube

God I fucking hate how everything has a Discord now, It almost makes me wish the old php forums could make a comeback, regardless of how toxic they could be sometimes.

systemd implemented age verification guess that about wraps it up for linux being the free and open operating system LOL

to all systemd apologists: we told you so

yeah i dont think its bad its just gonna make a second internet that doesnt suck or have the drawbacks of the darknet

It's not yet certain that laws of one country will be applied to citizens of another country where such laws don't exist. They could do this with cookie notices required in EU because it doesn't break websites, but this would break them completely by definition.

Western, particularly burger Internet has almost absolute monopoly outside of a few isolated countries like China and Russia. And it encompasses much more than just propaganda, there's a lot of technical and hobby stuff hosted on burger servers. If I want to look at source code or docs or submit a patch to a certain library hosted on a popular git hosting server, then in most cases I have no alternative but to visit to burger servers. Same goes for any other banal and hobby stuff, there's a lot of useful information out there hosted on burger servers. Cloudflare and Google captcha faggotry is already hellish enough.

I know, but those will be archived (or not, maybe you shouldn't use discord as a forum) and then moved to alternatives. Like lemmygrad did with the genzedong subreddit

why is it so often the case that hyper autistic tech workers without basic social skills regularly assume the hyperspecialized knowledge that they dedicated their life to is "obvious" to everyone but literal braindead people when in fact there are very talented and smart people who not only don't know but don't care what they are talking about?

its not just tech workers and it's naught to do with autism, it's just self-centered behavior, assuming that your mind is all that exists in the entire world and everyone thinks the way you think and knows what you know and cares about what you care about. it just happens to be particularly prominent in tech workers because they tend to not get out much.

we know theory of mind doesn't have to be taught. children as young as 3 have it… yet it seems that adults often lose it

if you point this out about marxism people accuse you of thinking proles are dumb

>>33719

it's nothing to do with expertise or being an expert on something, and very often the kinds of people who act this way aren't even really experts on the subject they pretend to be experts on. it's just egocentrism reaching its ultimate conclusion, where a person can no longer see where their own mind ends and the world begins, they're so up their own asses that they think they are some kind of godlike entity who is above everyone else and therefore they don't find it embarrassing to bloviate at great length about some arcane trivia in front of confused unfamiliar audiences whom they view as lesser peons rather than equals. it's a side effect of being insulated from everyday material reality, being in your own little curated private world where you never have ego-deflating interactions with random people who are smarter than you and can really tear you apart and humiliate you directly to your face. introvert dorks who spend all their time on the internet often become this way due to being alienated from reality by their social ineptitude, and extremely famous celebrities such as kanye west tend to get this way due being so famous and wealthy that they never really have normal social interactions anymore and they are just surrounded by bootlickers who worship them 24/7 and nobody ever dares criticize them in-person. people need to be roasted and humbled from time to time or else they get weird and crazy and forget how to just be a person and talk to other people.

Assuming you can't use linux for one second. Which is better. MAC/Apple OS or PC, for a desktop computer?

You can still get celeron tier laptops for $100-200, plus they will often sell old thinkpads that aren't a meme second hand at even lower prices, plus i know a guy who will buy the PC parts from multiple sources and sell me a build without VAT. Burger treatlerites might no longer have access to the same cheap PC and part imports, but that doesn't matter as much, when those still have the superior economies of scale.

even if it's not linux, id still use a unix os over windows slop

>>33532
even those will get scalped as soon as some youtuber hypes them up as cheap alternatives

>>33532
Those 4GB N150 shitbooks are going to chug like crazy running windows lmao.

a mac isn't even a computer, it's just a really expensive desk lamp.

The only time I would Torrent is if I had a custom workstation consisting of a MilkV Jupiter wired to another MilkV Jupiter router board via cat6 cables to your default ISP router also. Run IP over DHCP for all connections, give the MilkV Jupiter router board a ath9k PCIe Atheros Wifi card, run a custom SOCKS5 proxy written in Python on both Jupiters, with X25519, Poly1305, ChaCha20 and Kyber for cryptographic post-quantum protection, with libsodium, PQClean and OpenSSL integration, a firewall (use firejail), pyshark, fail2ban, nftables with Suricata or Zeek (Bro) for LLM traffic scanning in pyshark. It should shut out any threats. After encrypting your traffic on your desktop MilkV Jupiter board w/ PCIe connection to a PCBway computer-class printed circuit board, w/ LiteX and Lattice ECP5 NAND + NOR controllers for memory instead of proprietary SD/eMMC/NVMe. Then wire a ECP5 HSM (Hardware Security Module) Module to hard brick the device in case it gets tampered with. Give it a Modos paper display, Keyboardio model 01 keyboard, 3D printed Ploopy mouse, use passive speakers (like Micca e.g., MB42X) w/ two more chips soldered to the PCBway printed circuit board for support (use a PCM1802 / PCM1808 (TI) ADC and a MAX98357A (Maxim) DAC). Then use a Microsoft Lifecam VX1000 / VX3000 or a Ligtech Quickcam 4000 / Quickcam Express 1999 web cam. Optionally, wire three more MilkV Mars SBCs to the Jupiter workstation board via PCIe inference, if possible via bifurcating or modifying the SBC board. Give each "accelerator" board a smaller PCBway corcuit board with the same modules for memory, ADC / DAC, and HSM. Likewise, use a MNT Reform laptop for programming boards via SiFive development boards. You can wipe amd program boards (like your MilkV Jupiter/Mars SBCs), to erase the proprietary DDR4 training controllers and replace with UberDDR3 via LiteDRAM. But that would require unsoldering and rewiring to a custom modified MilkV Jupiter/Mars board made from PCBway. Use ECP5 FPGAs for DDR3 controller. Now you have a fully libre board!

You can use the Mars SBCs for LLM LAN acceleration as a mini-cloud (like PyTorch or llama.cpp) using open wifi. Install Gentoo on the boards, harden the kernel, secure the bootchain, and when compiling it from source, refuse any proprietary packages and now run it over Sway. Gentoo runs smoothly on RISC-V (and so does Linux From Scratch, although that's a nightmare setting up, let alone maintaining). I would use kvm/qemu and a cuPost too long.

telnet is the most insecure remote-connecting protocol there is baka-kun

>>33436
Connecting with netcat over tcp literally is telnet (what the client program does) though, unless you tunnel it. OP is obvsly larping.

>>33431
why does everyone act like they never meet their friends and family and coworkers IRL anymore? what happened? you don't live in an urban core and go to cafe every day? lol wat. throw your car away and live life.

sorry but i don't listen to imperative sentences from random internet strangers. why don't you use netcat? why don't you go fuck your mother too while you're at it?
