Ah yes, good old Jenny. I use the same trick for persistent door knockers or sales drones.

I packaged that driver on the AUR, since I’ve got the same device. I can’t get the binary blob to work (admittedly, I haven’t tried very hard) and it’s not high on my list of priorities so I’m okay using it as a dumb MIDI tool.

Arch package manager here, there is ongoing work behind the scenes to support multiple architectures (aarch64, riscv, etc), but as our volunteers (myself included) are doing this in our free time, progress is up in the air.

They've also been working on emulating the JP-8080, as per recent discord announcements.

The JP-8080 uses custom DSP chips designed by Roland, and Roland do not provide a Virtual Instrument (VST) for this much desired synth.

Arch package maintainer here; we generally encourage building from source for packages provided by the official repositories. As far as I know, we only ship pre compiled binaries if there is no source available, i.e. commercial programs such as reaper.

I’ll never understand these big companies, they often seem to be allergic to money.

Realistically, it’ll be when the patents expire.

Apple (and other streaming services) have been caught out replacing people’s local songs with censored/blessed versions. That is the main reason why some characters will not stream music; because they do not have full control over their own files.

Well yeah, how else do you stop color bleeding out and staining your other dishes?

Does anyone know how to access any of the repos listed in this vault? I’m after a particular one that was deleted earlier this year; has zero forks and does not show up in the way back machine.

I don’t know what I would do without sieve, I use it to manage my mailing list subscriptions, eg move to folders, mark emails from specific chatty users as read, etc.

It automates a lot of manual cruft and I’m endlessly thankful for it.

I do wish it was more widely supported, and I try to do my part to encourage adoption (I maintain several sieve related packages for Arch Linux).

Do you have a PKGBUILD available? I'm currently running into this particular issue when installing the requisite chicken libs:

Maybe there’ll be an article or two, once it’s released!

Oh wait…

Hey! Thanks for writing this, this really helped me setup VyOS as my main router/firewall for my homelab.

Do you have any plans to expand into IPv6 functionality?

Do you know if any of the official FreeCAD tutorials go through using data planes instead of sketch on face?
