The chord names not matching the keys on my keyboard are throwing me off a lot on this, but that's difficult to get anything other than major chords. Maybe it would be playable by using modifiers to shift to minor and 7th etc.

Another idea I had was being able to bend by holding two keys like monophonic synths.

Bokeh doesn't have different blur for different circles, it's always projecting the exact shape of the aperture.

Oh I really enjoy it when I get random emails from people that have read my posts and have occasionally mailed maintainers of software projects that it is working perfectly for me. It's always a nice change of pace from bug reports.

Oh that looks incredibly similar, thanks for the tip!

Author here, the best solution I think would be just ripping the temperature sensor from the battery pack and soldering it to the contact in the microphone instead, then you can just pop in regular rechargable batteries and it'll work. No need to add lipos to this.

I'm glad most of my music gear isn't battery powered. I do have a painful amount of different camera chargers though...

Linux from scratch is quite a lot of fun, did it a decade ago and learned how to bootstrap a linux system after installing Archlinux got boring. Never went past the initial "get a working" system stage though.

Now I'm building LFS/BLFS again but hacked the Alpine package manager into it to actually be able to install multiple machines with this and crossed the point where I'm daily driving it on my laptop

Ah you've never encountered /dev/null not existing yet, so when you try to trash data it will actually create a normal file there so every other program that uses it will actually append that file.

Luckily it's usually a tmpfs

This does happen, but it seems to depend on the ISP. In the Netherlands I've seen ISPs block the internet connectivity when they've detected infected devices, sometimes they send a letter before blocking and some ISPs seem to dump your internet connection in a captive portal. In all these cases it's been enough to call the ISP after finding the problem and you're connected again minutes later.

I'll have you know my grandma was using Linux just fine... was certainly a lot easier than windows changing random UI elements every time.

I always bring my telephoto lens. Since moving to a full frame camera I'm using a 70-300 most of the time and I rarely want a wider lens, more often I wish I brought my 600mm instead.

I also brought a 85mm prime which has been a lot of fun, while at the same time I've been lugging around a 35mm prime and barely used it.

You don't use them normally in the US, I've been referring to europe/amsterdam or europe/paris all my life in Linux installers and various equipment. I've never ever encountered netherlands/amsterdam or something like that.

Magic lantern is amazing. I'm still hoping a project grows for the other camera brands since I only have Nikon and Panasonic cameras.

Both cores are actually ARM cores, but you can switch both cores to be RISC-V cores as well on boot.
