Also, I see now that your error message was looking for kernel sources inside the module folder. This may be what's causing the issue. Thanks for all the help. Ended up buying a 15,- class compliant usb midi dongle and got it to do what I wanted straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zkom Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just realized that if the pandemic actually starts to be over in 2021 all the postponed events and travels will hit back to back starting possibly from March or April. I'm counting 7 family celebrations, like a huge ass wedding that got postponed, to start with. Oh shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh shit. it's a pain. a few years ago i had to go to a bunch of fmaily weddings. like 4 in one year.. and i skipped one. and now there's another scheduled for this summer and i don't think i can do it. they're all on the other side of the country.

It's not like the people who have been vaxxed get to go back to their normal lives while everybody else waits. People who have been vaccinated can still carry and spread the virus. 2021 is probably going to look a lot like 2020 did. EDIT: Sorry, slightly reactionary post. What you said still stands, but it definitely won't start in March or April. Here in Canada, we're thinking maybe September if we're lucky. International travel = who knows. This. Early-mid 2021 is wishful thinking in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who have been vaccinated can still carry and spread the virus. 2021 is probably going to look a lot like 2020 did. Yes, the life isn't probably going to be back to completely normal until the end of the year, but it will start to get normal in a few months if the vaccinations continue as planned. As the percentage of population being vaccinated rises the R0 infection rate will start dropping which means less restrictions. Countries that now have banned foreign travelers will probably start allowing them if they have a proof of vaccination. The older people that are vaccinated first can visit family members more safely which means that larger family gatherings are possible, just maybe with some minor precautions. And so on. There isn't going to be sudden change back to normal in short term but probably things will start to normalize by summer. As soon as the vaccinations started here the sales for flights to places like Thailand for the next year already shot up by 500% and music festivals with 10.000 visitors per day next summer have had their ticket sales going on for some time.

zkom Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 3 minutes ago, toaoaoad said: Still I think it's highly dubious that people who can show "proof of vaccination" get to go out and do shit while others wait. I can see a LOT of social conflict arising out of this, and it's quite dangerous. This was already the case before the covid-19 pandemic in case of some countries for diseases like yellow fever. That's why I have the WHO vaccination passport to show that I've had the yellow fever vaccination. The other option is usually to have the required vaccinations on entry. It's pretty standard procedure for some countries. 5 minutes ago, toaoaoad said: Also, as I mentioned, people who have been vaccinated can still carry and spread the virus. I get the impression that most people are only thinking of their own safety, and that is dangerously faulty thinking. It's not clear how infectious the vaccinated people with the virus actually are because they probably have much less of the virus in their system and don't have the symptoms that act as vectors, but it remains to be seen.

zkom Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Yes, there is still a lot of unknowns. We might even get a vaccine resistant strain given the huge amount of cases and the evolutionary pressure the virus will have from the mass vaccinations. But my original post also had the "if" . So if life starts to get back to normal early-mid 2021 all the postponed shit will start to fall on me in a very short time span. Just realized also that since I moved to my new apartment about a year ago that a bunch of relatives have promised to visit me as soon as it is safe and I've promised to visit a lot of people when it's possible. I should be enjoying the relaxing alone time while I still can. Edit: and my monthly work trips will resume Edited December 30, 2020 by zkom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDEM Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 1 minute ago, toaoaoad said: Yeah. I'd never heard it before either (UK slang?). Google says:To curve someone is "to reject" them, that is, veer away from their romantic interests and advances in an indirect, non-confrontational way. I kinda like it, do we have a similar catch-all slang for this in North America? Maybe you can coin the term "to swerve someone". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather molest friends at a party, as usual, but not possible. But in all honesty, some part of me never wanted to party and always wants to be alone at home, so that part of me is definitely satisfied. I feel a bit bad about how good I feel about it. I haven't talked to my dad for quite a bit, I think I will call him today. I miss the old fella. Hope he won't die too soon. But realistically, he will die in one of the coming years. I need to call him a lot more often. yeah this'll be the first nye in like...six or seven years where i'm not working or going to a party (so far, anyways). honestly not too antsy about it: i did all the typical nye party stuff last year & it felt completely devoid of meaning. i only have a few ppl i'm genuinely close to irl these days & i've had good one on one interactions with them this week already as for the dad thing: i wanted to call mine on christmas, and he emailed back "no son, don't rack up those long distance charges". i mean like i have unlimited national calling but i was able to read between the lines with that. if you've ever seen the movie swiss army man, my relationship with my dad is basically like that scene where the main character is explaining how he showed his dad how to set up an automatic birthday card email sender, and now the only interaction either of them have with each other is mutual reception of generic cute emails greeting cards on each other's birthdays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
