Again, we're getting closer to Hyperion Cantos here.

SSDs shall be single sided and gonna need heatsinks, but I believe it works well and is not tied to any manufacturer for anything.

If you want go all-out get ASUSTOR's Ryzen based systems. You can use the stock firmware or disable it without wiping it and deploy TrueNAS on it. It's a beast.

TrueNAS has containers and applications and VM support so you can run any service you want on it.

From my perspective, it's absolutely not. I have a couple of vaults, and only one of them has one community plugin installed, and that's edit history. I'm pretty happy with what it provides out of the box.

I have a couple of friends who uses bigger/heavier plugins like media manager to basically transform Obsidian to other tools, but as a note taking tool and wiki/digital garden publishing platform, it does a great job out of the box.

I currently trust it to keep my most valuable notes, to be honest.

Please keep it up that way. I really feel sad when the tools I like go haywire and I'm forced to stop supporting the people behind that because I can't use the tool anymore.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Thanks again.

It turned out that I have grown out of Evernote anyway, so no big loss.

Now I have to pay another company to be able to have a proper backup solution. Why trash your own competent solution for monies and data extraction? It's not a wise move.

This is a video about Amen Break, read from a wax disc which can't survive more than 5-6 plays.

If they are using well refined conversion paths with enough bit depth, that buffer stage will be completely invisible even at the waveform level.

As a person who likes, buys and listens vinyl, I don't care how it's processed to that stage as long as it sounds fine. Note that I don't buy vinyl because of the "sound quality per se", but for the experience of listening it. I like to make time to listen my favorite albums properly, and vinyl is a part of that for some albums. I'm equally fine with audio from a CD or a well encoded lossy codec. I can distinguish between lossy and lossless encoding of the same album, but I don't always have time to appreciate that.

So, some references (This guy has enough knowledge to write his own DSP plugins):

This coupled with generous amount of Valgrind testing allows me to catch problems early and fix them immediately. Doing this allowed me to write very performant code without any leaks or accuracy problems.

Another thing I do is making some cases mathematically impossible. If this promise is broken, code is guaranteed to crash at that point, so it’s self verifying in a sense.

Of course enforcement of this is possible due to fact that I code solo most of the time, and has the discipline to do boring things as well as the exciting and fun things.

This is not unheard of. The most famous models are emacs & SQLite. SQLite doesn't accept outside patches, emacs is developed opaquely and only releases are put forward.

You can do this with GPL, too. You put out tarballs of the releases only.

There's a great misconception between Free Software, Open Source, and Open Development (bazaar model). They complement each other, but they are completely independent things.

Addenda: Looks like emacs' Git repo is publicly accessible now, but it's not a requirement for GPL or Free or Open Source software.

It's easy to compare new and old languages, and saying older languages are wrinkly. Let's see how other shiny programming languages look like when they are 40 years old.

Otherwise it's not different for me. I don't feel different while writing with any other language. I guess the main reason is I always think like the computer first and translate that thinking to the programming language at hand.
