    Convert an old telephone into a MIDI instrument

    [10:23] schestowitz

    The phone used in this project and most others like it have numeric keypads set up in the same way as keyboards, with a matrix reducing the number of I/O pins needed on a connected microcontroller. Multiply the number or rows in the matrix by the number of columns to get the maximum number of keys. This particular keypad had a combined row/column total of 11, which means it could support up to 30 unique [10:23] schestowitz keys. But only 12 of those are connected, so the tutorial includes instructions on how to identify the key that each row/column combo triggers. Once you know that information, you can connect the row and column wires to the I/O pins of an Arduino.

    Vulkan 1.3.226 was released yesterday and it finally includes the cross-vendor VK_EXT_mesh_shader extension. This has definitely been an important moment for me.

    Turns out, I still make lots of errors when marking up my hypertext documents. The HTML parser is so good at skipping over problems that I never discovered through my testing that these issues existed. Thats a pretty wonderful thing, but I also see how it led me to being lazy.

    Having a validator really helped me stay on point in writing my markup. I give the html-validator CLI tool two big thumbs up ! Maybe I'll get to their recommended presets one day and fix the other ~10,000 problems in my markup.

    Looking at LibreOffice's Windows installer
    [10:25] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nibblestew.blogspot.com | Nibble Stew: Looking at LibreOffice's Windows installer [10:25] schestowitz
    [10:25] schestowitz

    There has long been a desire to get rid of Cygwin as a build dependency on LibreOffice. In addition to building dependencies it is also used to create the Windows MSI installer. Due to reasons I don't remember any more I chose to look into replacing just that bit with some modern tooling. This is the tragedy that followed.

    [10:25] schestowitz

    The first step to replacing something old is to determine what and how the old system works. Given that it is an installer one would expect it to use WiX, NSIS or maybe even some less know installer tool. But of course you already guessed that's not going to be the case. After sufficient amounts of digging you can discover that the installer is invoked by this (1600+ line) Perl script. It imports 50+ [10:25] schestowitz other internal Perl modules. This is not going to be a fun day.

    Waste versus slack in production engineering
    [10:26] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-blog.relyabilit.ie | Waste versus slack in production engineering [10:26] schestowitz
    [10:26] schestowitz

    Economics teaches us that one persons income is another persons expenditure. But we dont think like that when we think of waste. Instead, our usual intuition for waste is it's something expended that we didnt have to, or something left behind after we did what we needed to.

    [10:26] schestowitz

    In todays distributed systems and cloud-first environment, however, that perfectly fine concept is a little trickier. Many apparently obvious examples of it become a bit less obvious when you look at them more closely. Its also hard to decide what to do about that waste, even when youve decided what it is.

    [10:26] schestowitz

    But fundamentally, there is one kind of waste which is ongoing, pernicious, and which nearly every organisation underestimates, and should be the real target of our efforts. Of which, more later.

    The red lines drawn in the letter concern the core of the planned EU legislation. Among other things, the ministries demand: No regulations that lead to chat control. Messages sent via messenger or email must be explicitly excluded from automated searches. This would remove the central and name-given measure from the planned regulation.

    [10:55] schestowitz

    Material that users upload to personal cloud storage and do not share with anyone, such as a backup of their own photos on their mobile phone, should also not be subject to the search orders.

    Are extremism and misogyny linked? Joan Smith documented how the great majority of the men who committed terrorist killings in Europe since 9/11, whether far-right or Islamist, display strongly misogynistic attitudes. Most also have a history of physically abusing women often in their own families before committing acts of violence against strangers. The Womanstats database, created by Val [11:06] schestowitz Hudson and colleagues, has uncovered many statistically significant relationships between the physical security of women and the security of states: authoritarian patriarchal attitudes undermine good government in multiple ways.

[20:29] Techrights-sec inotify seems not to work as it should, I thought it worked in the beginning [20:29] Techrights-sec but it is not reliable or seems not to work at all now.
