Wow never heard of this platform. RIP

they are only ‘hardcore’ because of the poor desktop environment integration.

I’d leave the sorting up to the users. So for a post where 5 users tagged it as ‘baroque music’, and 5000 tagged it as ‘boring’, one could sort the feed by ‘total tags’ on a post indicating general interest (5005), or just ‘total tags I follow’ which might just be ‘baroque music’ (5). Or maybe reverse sort by tags so ‘boring’ stuff is towards the bottom.

I’d think that ignoring tags would be a thing for users, so “libtards” or whatever could be ignored.

Tag mods could ban problematic users, so someone could get banned for tagging ‘corporate lies’ where the mods think it doesn’t belong. Offenders could make their own ‘corporate liez’ tag though, I suppose.

A tag hierarchy might be desirable, like everything tagged ‘baroque’ also getting ‘music’ automatically. Perhaps through agreements with the mods of each tag.

‘archive of our own’ I’ve heard has a solid system of tag moderation. Not sure it would be appropriate for a system like this.

What I think would be interesting would be a link aggregator based around tags rather than subcommunities. Moderation would be based around these tags. Your feed would be based on tag queries. Posts could have multiple tags, assigned by the original poster or by users. Assigning tags would have a similar effect to voting, so a post might get tagged by 1000 people as ‘corporate lies’, or as ‘music’, or whatever else.

Nice thing about this would be finer grained queries with news, for instance. Could get ‘politics’, but minus ‘corporate lies’.

I went the jank monstrosity path. Well, a few scripts anyway.

I use an app called SimpleSSHD on the phone that lets me ssh in. Then rsync to transfer files. The script to sync pictures is like this:

# file 'droidip' contains the local wifi ip of the phone.  
dip=$(cat droidip)

rsync --append-verify --progress  -avz -e "ssh -p 2222" root@$dip:/sdcard/DCIM/Camera newphonepix

Truthfully it was as much about learning rsync as anything, and now I’m sticking with it because momentum I guess. adb is way faster if you really need to move a lot of files.

ok where these files at?

pricing is in line with the top ipad. I consider it kind of an activist move to buy one of these though, more about supporting a cause than getting a device with maximal functionality.

I like this approach of having a model locally and running it locally. I’ve been using the firefox website translator and its great. Handy and it doesn’t send my data to google. That I know of, ha.

I use keepassxc to generate the code.

I’m more looking for a federated RPAN than a tiktok.

Got it working. The problem was really dumb: I use xmonad. When I run mixx, it opens a modal dialog where you have to select a file, or cancel. I didn’t notice the dialog, maybe too many windows or it ended up behind the main window. Dialog never returns, program never gets off the splash screen. 😅 Still get the warnings and errors, but apparently that’s normal.

Anyway, working now, definitely a lot of bells and whistles in this. Inspiring if I ever want to take up DJing.

I’ve had a dell precision 5520 for several years now. Its been solid from a software support standpoint. Downside is the stock batteries swell up; I’ve settled for lower-capacity aftermarket batteries instead. On my second keyboard, second charge port and second power supply. Unfortunately a screw fell out and then the hinge broke as a result, and charging has gotten wonky, maybe since the charge port’s attachment point broke too. If you put the charge cable in just the right place it’ll charge, but sometimes I can’t find that position.

Pluses:

• 32g ram
• nvidia graphic accel
• replaceable keyboard, battery, memory
• touchscreen, webcam, etc all work.
• high dpi screen
• good linux support.
• daily driver for 5+ years

Minuses:

• USB3 dock doesn’t charge enough, still needs power supply.
• front edge of the laptop is a bit sharp
• swelling stock batteries, keyboard and mouse gradually stop working.
• should have used locktite on screws, some fell out and now hinge, power wonky.

I also have a thinkpad w520. Super solid, but gets hot when the gpu is enabled. Probably needs a thermal paste refresh. Still on the original keyboard. On second power supply, first one’s cable is getting sparky. Slow compared to the dell, short battery life, very heavy, still working though!

yeah could be a packaging bug.

Autohotkeys is cool but its a windows prog, so won’t work for me on linux.

When you speed up/slow down the recording, it has to process the whole file. That takes a while. You can’t just slide a slider to different pitches to see what’s right. Then you have to save the file someplace, think of a file name, put it somewhere reasonable etc. Or remember the pitch and do everything over again next time.

thx. and looks like you can set up an af-command for bumping the playback speed up and down with a keyboard shortcut. presumably that’s possible with pitch as well.

seems like libmpv would be a great back end for a specialized music practice tool.

Wow huge wall of text. How do you select a section of a song and loop just that section?

Looks like you can adjust playback speed. But I don’t see where you can adjust pitch, nor do I see where you can select a section of a song for looping.

I use that timestretch web one already! But an actual app would be nice.

Sonic visualizer is pretty maximalist. Feels maybe not exactly designed for music practice but can do it and a lot else too.
