Yeah that sounds about right - VST is such an awful standard, and is only made worse by all the copy protection nonsense that companies pile on top of it. I wish there was an open standard that was cross-platform, portable and used PGP encryption for standard licencing, but alas, it’s too late for that.
I’m quite surprised Ableton haven’t released a Linux version yet. They would have had to do some of the legwork to stand up Ableton Push.
Honestly, I wouldn’t trust most commercial VPNs these days, especially the ones that are nearly always on 100% discount sales. If they’re not making their revenue from customers, they must be making it some other way. And that’s a mighty fine data set they’re sitting on.
Yeah I think at this point we can slap a 1 in front of that badboy and call it a day. Though as an engineer I also appreciate starting from 0, ha!
Liquid Trees! Slam it down fast!
Holy shit, TIL Mexico has a legally prescribed 6-day work week! That’s brutal.
He’s a sharp one, the ol’ Donny!
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of switching, if Google still get to harvest all your data?
Isn’t this asking for trouble with spam, bots etc?

This is the best write-up I’ve seen - essentially a force sensitive resistor on the bed slats and an ESP32 will get you the results you’re after.
Now do crypto.
If it is, get ready for the subscription plan.
I have no mouth but I must scream
Ditched Ubuntu last year for Hannah Montana Linux and haven’t looked back.
I chuckled at this bit:
The breakage should nevertheless be fixed as soon as possible, ideally before the breakage reaches Linus.
I’ve played around with using PLA to make plant pots on an old Ender 3. It wasn’t quite waterproof, but pretty close. If you wanted a perfect seal for underwater shenanigans, I’d probably experiment with different wall thickness settings, and maybe temperatures/fan cooling settings. You want to try and minimise the tiny air pockets between layer and filament drawing lines. (Resin 3D printers are probably better at this tbh.)
I had reasonable success using a hot air gun to melt the outer layer of PLA to make it perfectly smooth, but this can deform your object if it heats up too much, so I’m guessing very hot temperatures and less contact time would be the ideal setting.
You could also try smearing Vaseline or resin coating the outside of the object.
This doesn’t mean that Meta denies using shadow libraries, its argument is that using such data to train its LLM models constitutes fair use under U.S. copyright law.
Oh wow, I’m very much looking forward to this argument… “We believe pirating the copyrighted commercial works of others en masse to develop our own commercial product constitutes fair use… China bad!”
I had a good experience with Daikin split systems, but it’s really going to depend on your region and what’s available in your area, or what you’ve already got. If you’re looking for inspiration on what works well, check the Home Assistant forums.
Not that surprising considering Japanese government only retired floppy disks in 2024 and fax machines are still in widespread use there.
