Friends and Patron on Patreon with their generous donations, gave me the confidence to spend my savings on a new audio interface at 1100 euros, almost double the price, but I believe when all the funds come in a month or two I can replace a good part of it, thankful for friends who have my back ❤️

when I say I get lucky and get connected I mean I've spent money on 200 paid servers + around 6000k free servers I've gathered through GitHub and whatnot daily, test all of them. one might connect like now, the numbers on the picture are the number free servers I tested today.

RIP Bahram Beyzaie. I Love his movies (not that much his plays). A great artist. It makes me sad to think about all the much pressure that was put on him over the years, death in exile shoudn't be a thing. It's heartbreaking.

I wanted to buy one of these adjustable fretboard guitars since i saw them, so much can be done with them but the price keeps rising, I can't afford one if i sell a kidney. They're made in turkey so a relative can get them for me, this makes it more real than other things i can't afford lol.

Complete adjustable microtonal electric guitar price 3200 euros

I'm back in my hometown, here's a little snapshot of the vibe of my parents' neighborhood. Love it here, as much as I hate it there in Tehran.

very niche post, here's a quick way to just import tables fro OEIS like tables to your coll object: open Sublime Text and copy your table Press CTRL+h Enter this regex pattern in the Find field: ^(\d+)[\t\s]+(\d+)$ Then Enter this in the Replace field: \1, \2;

Siavash Amini @capgrasman.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

so the first part of this is done, off to make the next module so i can record the phasor based sequencer into the scores, and playback those with cc for vst with as little delay as possible. ugly little thing. every neat abstraction is just tons and tons of cable sweeped under the rug lol.
