Signal? Isn't that the app for drugs? /s

I'd be happy to write a bunch of sql for this type of thing and throw it on github if you have any more specific requests / if instance admins would find it helpful

50 years of C and still no sane standardized way of packaging dependencies 😫

Very cool!

Every time I see that URL, I wince

This, but then after you can do this solidly start halving the click tempo while still playing at the same speed so you get 1 click per 2 beats, bar, 2 bars, 4 bars etc.

Benny Greb (well regarded German drummer with a lot of instructional content) has a free metronome app for this purpose called Gap click that may be helpful, he argues for this as an essential exercise in developing your internal sense of time.

This is basically my view as a Fedora user.

I use openscale and a Beuer BF700 (I think that's the model #, it's a model listed in the github wiki) and it works great, although I had to do the initial setup on their proprietary app to get the profiles to work right, and the scale had to be imported/was a bit hard to find. The wiki includes instructions for modifying a scale to add an arduino and the necessary bits to DIY one if you're at all technically inclined.

I recommend it, but YMMV if you try to use a newer scale. If I ever have more time I would like to try to extend the drivers to support more scales, because openscale is very good software.

Yep, agreed! Just advocating critical thinking. Part of the problems of pseudonymous platforms with open signups is that it makes it easy and imposes low financial cost to control a bunch of accounts that people can use for ends like that.

Of course other websites and search engines themselves are doing the same, the cost for setup is just higher (hosting, SEO optimization, advertising, etc.)

I don't really think that's a solvable issue for open platforms, which is why I think critical thinking is crucial as an advocate for platforms. That's why I'm here!

Nothing is impossible to compromise. It's about making it not worth it (why go after some home lab when they can use the same methods to extort milliions of dollars?).

Unfortunately, these days it's quite possible it's coming from an LLM. I agree with your sentiment, you just have to always keep in mind what other possible incentives an actor on the internet may have for sharing a fact or opinion, whether it's simply monetary (corporate wants you to buy this product), political (this state wants to you to believe this thing), or personal (this person has a grudge against this thing and is willing to use bots to amplify their discontent).

Clips?

You can get most Dell laptops shipped with Ubuntu, but I don't think that's available at a brick and mortar retailer.

Thanks for the info! I might brave it if weather holds up then.

I've been wanting to do this but the bridge being down and the cold have stopped me! Did you just do it as an out and back?

Manistee?

Nope, 25 gb is just english language wikipedia compressed, no images. All the other languages are smaller.
