Scaramouche Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Hearing test today. As expected, Noise Induced Hearing Loss. chunky notch around the 4k mark. I was surprised that it's my right is ear that seems most impacted. Still early stages, in the "mild" bracket. I really need to upgrade my ear plugs and general ear care when out. Hey ho.

Zephyr_Nova Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I can remember a time before the internet, but I can't remember a time before "you're almost out of storage and may not receive emails." Yet I can't ever seem to stop getting emails. How are all of these things true at once? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought covid let up in the hot seasons. Maybe just something I tell myself. It’s unpleasant wearing a mask on the bus with this scorching heat my areas been getting.

Interesting. Well, I’ll continue to get my vaccines despite some of my family’s anti-vaxxer views. I have yet to get sick. My brother in law is constantly bringing it home from the college he works at. Edited July 11 by YEK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law is constantly bringing it home from the college he works at. knock wood i've not had it either. at least not that i'm aware of. had a light flu right at the start of covid and that could've been it but it was before everything closed down and before it was a thing. i had a shit job for several months a while back and talked to some people there who had it 3 or 4 times. my brother has had at least twice. mom is on her 2nd go round as well.

Zephyr_Nova Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Rhymezone.com claims "world" is 1 syllable, and has a list of "1 syllable" rhymes that are actually two syllables. It is physically impossible to say the word "world" in under 2 syllables, and I am offended by such an outrageous claim. My lyric writing has been completely derailed by this.

It is physically impossible to say the word "world" in under 2 syllables, and I am offended by such an outrageous claim. My lyric writing has been completely derailed by this. Fuck that. If "strengthed" is a monosyllabic word then so is word. My FWP: Last October I broke a rip and it still hurts when I lean right. About a month and a half ago my foot started hurting like crazy. Felt like some sort of inflammation but then pain moved to my ankle. Went to the doctor today because I was worried that I had inherited my dad's osteoarthritis. She said it was nothing. My wrist hurts from carrying my daughter around. A couple of days ago my shoulder locked up and I could barely lift my arm to pick up my cup of coffee let alone use a mouse. But let's flip it up and look on the bright side of things: I fucking love getting older! The older I get the less I care. It's wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zkom Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I'm buying a new laptop and I'm already dreading re-installing everything on it. Particularly anything with license keys. Makes me want to start using only free software. Which kind of gave me an idea that I could create a virtual machine that has all the music producing software that I need and then just copy it from place to place. Or hear me on this.. dockerize everything and then just build and run the container wherever I need and mount the music projects from a network drive (with a version control and automatic backups?). I can foresee dozens of hours wasted on this project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the finding keys and passwords but reinstalling everything and validating the keys etc. If I could put everything in a Docker container I could just build the image and then run it with two commands on any computer that can run the same architecture containers (f.e. it could be remote desktop connection to a cloud based virtual machine). Granted this would mean that I would probably have to start working 100% in some Unix based system and it would mostly just work with free software that don't require registering with some GUI app or web page. Although it works with software that just need a license key file because the Docker can handle that. And at least some Windows software can be ran with Wine. Is this worth the trouble to go through? Probably not, but it would be an interesting exercise to create a fully containerized music production environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
