I haven’t had enough sleep and read this as you having an 82 year old girlfriend when you were 12

Have you read the story of Panko breadcrumbs?

It came from food and fuel shortages in WW2 where the ingredients for bread but no ovens or equipment to cook it into anything. One guy hooked a bunch of dough up to a car battery and electrocuted it and created a crustless loaf with a weird texture. He also discovered this weird texture made for great even sized crumbs with a uniform colour and after the war ended decided to turn it into a business.

Haha I’ll have to listen out for it!

I’ve been hooked on this tune for a couple of weeks and it’s got both the wheel up signal and the ray keith squeak lol

Mate I’m Crim in MP… nothing to be ashamed of haha! No fucking way!? In MWIII?

Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture

Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)

Where were you hearing it?

That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

The sample is taken from this song

It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

At 1h3m36s

Also known as a “dub siren”

You can also switch the theme to base16 to use your term colours

Yeah a lot of pro audio discussion still happens on gearspace (formerly gearslutz), KVR, dogsonacid, etc

Probably just wanted a higher number than windows or didn’t want to get leapfrogged. Also makes more sense with iOS having a similar schedule.

No they ditched OSX and yearly point updates in 2020 and went from Mac OSX 10.15.7 to MacOS 11.0

The next yearly release was MacOS 12.

It’s now up to 14.2.1

For pure sync between machines, syncthing is amazing and pretty simple.

Nextcloud/Owncloud/Seafile/etc are much more involved, expansive pieces of software with many integrations and possibilities available, which is great if that’s something you want to be the sysadmin for but way overkill for just syncing files between a few of your own machines or between a small group of people. They’re more like a replacement for the google drive/docs suite and better suited for things like offices or if you want to get your whole (extended) family off google drive/dropbox because you can create multiple users and have different levels of admin privileges, shared calendars, document editors, etc.

Fwiw I used to run a fairly modest nextcloud instance but eventually retired it because it was overkill for my needs, required too much upkeep and I was always stressed that if I messed something up, the files in encrypted database would be inaccessible to me.

Now I have a simple little master syncthing server that my machines all sync to and copies of the files are always available on all machines.

You are indeed resurrecting a 3 year old post haha!

Glad to see so many of you here now though!

That’s good to hear, I’ve got very little idea of how the fediverse works nor how moderation works on these types of sites so thanks for clarifying. I had a look to see if c/the_donald existed and although it seems to, I could see the following:

Does that mean the community has been removed by a mod then or something else?
