Yes, but all synthesis types are transformation unless you are just replaying/outputting a waveform in one way or another without manipulation so that is really an all encompassing way of describing all synthesis methods.

Subtractive synthesis has a particular meaning in common use whether it’s right or wrong.

As soon a I read Unbank I had the tune in my head, it is rather good.

20 years ago, I was a massive Postgres fan and I still am, but I bought and used SQL server for production systems - it was better (particularly in replication), and more importantly had better support as in being on the phone with the lead dev type support.

Today I have no idea about SQL server but if the support is as good today as it was back then it can be worth it.

Just having farmland be fields is not very good for the land or the eco system. Breaking up farmland with hedges, woods, wetlands or whatever nature decides it should be is often a good idea. Next best thing is to manually plant trees.

Edit: add planting trees

Not sure I agree having had them. The keyboards instantly remind how both are horrible to use and that is the overwhelming memory.

If its SFP then intel, they have seem to have good ability to go into power saving states. My mellanox cards don’t.

10gbase-t ethernet is harder to pick, a lot of those cards run incredibly hot particularly the ones that expect server style cooling. Heard bad things about all of them.

Also heard that Windows has a hard time reaching 10G anyway.

You started in the right place with music theory. As for learning synths, you can do it in two ways - just start using them, fiddling and playing (whether its a software synth or hardware synth) or you learning actually the fundamentals by books, video and articles like these: https://www.soundonsound.com/series/synth-secrets-sound-soun...

I started the first way in the early 80s and did the second and have a life long love of synths ( I don't even know how many I have now but probably around 30-40 hardware synths, samplers and drum machines).

The edginess and rawness might be the limitations of the equipment used and the people using it, but for me the edge was that the music it wasn’t pigeonholed into different genres at the time. It was all working together like a Weatherall set.

I can recommend more if you like and of course the Chris Cunningham video https://youtu.be/MWCSw_cNxKc

Not sure I would class it as jungle though.

What I look for is, 128GB RAM minimum, decent number of PCIe lanes because I want two fast NVMe drives, a HBA card ( though this I guess could be external ), two network ports minimum, ZFS, sane terminal, native support for containers and VMs. Native support for UPS interfacing, native support for backup of containers and VMs. And lastly a community of other users doing the same.

Dual power supplies is a nice to have.

As someone that used all season tires I have moved to proper winter and summer tyres /wheels - the difference in handling and braking performance I find is worth it.

When was that? I remember Apple always having multiple products except at the very start.

B2B founder, selling a software product and as little as possible services.

We built up a partner network worldwide, so we had to find relevant partners who would help serve our potential customers in the relevant way that already had those customers. They are easyish to find and approach because they are trying to achieve a similar goal, although sometimes more generically if they are integrators (selling software, hardware and services). Sometimes they sell a competitive product so our USP had to be tight - such as not requiring a year of services to start up but maybe an hour or two.

Others were complimentary tech partners and very kindly helped spread the word, and got a foot in the door for direct engagement.

If each partner has 10 good customers, then thats 10 partners you have to engage with. We were more often than not involved with the relationship with the customer, and got direct knowledge of the customer problem, how well we fit solving the problem, identify UX issues, sales issues, support issues etc..

It’s been a successful way to start.

You bought it? How come you announced that you launched it 70 days ago?

It’s not inherently unreliable, but can be a bit depending in what you are doing. Debian stable on very mainstream server hardware is fine. Newer filesystems, cutting edge kernels, interesting hardware and your results may vary.

I’ve run SmartOS, but mainly use OmniOS. As with all these, they are very good but make sure to run them on supported hardware. They have good documentation, very small community, and if you run into problems then debugging them is very possible - but not for the technically challenged.

OmniOS I basically run as an appliance and has been trouble free since the start.

I have run Linux, BSD and other unix for a long time (since the 90s and the very first Slackware) and continue to this day.

I prefer BSD because to me it’s more logical, it rarely changes, the documentation is first class and it’s very stable (yes more so than Linux). Plus I like its networking stack and PF

I prefer Linux when I need to run something popular and want a community.

I prefer Solaris clones for storage.

I prefer macOS for doing music, graphics and every day work and for laptops.

It’s no problem jumping between them. BSD is my favorite though.

It sounded to me more like the system was being used for Backups, not that they expect RAID to be a backup.

Because Plex and gamers streaming is not the only use case for transcode

It’s not all hardware encoded - we have huge numbers of transcodes a day and quality matters for our use case.

Certainly for some use cases speed and low CPU matter but not all.

Pretty much the same here, except IMHO Spotify is worse. And my own music mostly sits alongside the streaming.

Bambu labs. Pick your price point. I got one a couple of months ago and it’s been great and so far has worked without hassle.

I don’t have it to each room personally, but I do have it to my garage, and between floors for connecting switches together. Oh and to servers.

Fibre is cheap and you can get it cut to whatever lengths, and it’s somewhat future proofed.

I have to agree with this to a point. I went with Mikrotik a while ago, which delivers great bang for the buck but oh my god the UX is terrible. Not helped that I don't want to spend more time learning it fully (it would be more cost effective to trash it and buy something else).

TP-Link and omeda is probably an alternative, but after spending time trying to figure out what they offer and what their alternatives are for my needs I just give up with their confusing model numbers and half hearted explainations.

The problem I really have with Ubiquiti is when I look at their offerings and what I need I am immediately put into their Enterprise offerings and I am running 48 ports.

Have managed all that in the past with bare metal and more (you forgot configuring routers, installing OS, managing upgrades, dealing with hardware swaps, etc). Its soooo much more sane to deal with that than AWS configuration, actually relatively easy for someone half competent. Luckily we can just employ people to mess around full time with AWS.

Vendor lockin. Knowledge transfer.

And I disagree that AWS is less complex. Managing services across AWS is complex, K8s is as well but I would rather manage K8S on bare instances.

I don't think you get the point. RDS is expensive, just because you having pricing parity with it doesn't mean that you are going to be at the same pricing level as cheap hosting.

And thats fine, you have features on top that can be worth paying for certain customers and expenses of your own to pay. Those of us that have been around in this business for 30 years know how expensive PAAS and IAAS can be and how easy it is to roll your own solutions and when not to do that.

Do you have any more details such as a blog post on what you did?

I find it weird that they use M4A and the previous blog post explains that there are preferred file formats with a link to a list which doesn't contain M4A at all.

I have always thought that covet means strongly desire ( which the link also mentions ). Nothing about sexual fantasy.
