this is not how power over ethernet works

a screenshot of an amazon listing page for a US wall outlet plug to two C13 plugs (commonly used for desktop PCs and such). the photo in the listing shows a power conditioner (or something similar) plugged in to two network switches. it's obviously AI generated. one of the two plugs is plugged into an ethernet port.

if you're a nerd looking for offsite backups i gotta recommend rsync.net (not sponsored, just happy with the service) they sent an email with setup instructions in plain text. you can run (some) commands on the server. the dashboard is clean. you can even get an rss feed with usage stats/idle days.

Does anyone have any idea why clangd insists on importing a header from "src/" rather than the relative directory? The file which needs to include this is in the "src/" directory already.

I don't mind macOS Tahoe, but grabbing a corner this rounded is strange every time. They should at least let me hold Cmd + right click to resize anywhere (like on many Linux WMs).

I wrote a cross-platform CLAP plug-in test host in < 2000 lines of code with no libraries (other than CLAP + system libs). If that is not a testament to how simple and straightforward the CLAP API is idk what is. Here is it playing a sine wave through Pro-Q 4, ST4b, and the MiniMeters plug-ins.

i did not think they were going to go this hard

Live 12.2 saw the introduction of Bounce to New Track. With 12.3, you can now bounce an entire Group track in place – or bounce a portion of a Group track, including all its processing, to a new audio track.

The all-new Paste Bounced Audio feature allows you to paste a copied clip or selection as bounced audio into any track or take lane. Just hit cmd/ ctrl + opt/ alt + v and whatever you’ve copied can be pasted as bounced audio multiple times, even with tweaks to the clip and processing between each paste.
