  • I didn’t even know these sorts of mini racks existed. now I’m going to have to get one for all my half sized preamps if they’ll fit. That would solve like half the problems with my studio room and may help bring back some of my spark for making music.

    I have no recs. Just want to say I’m so excited to see this. I can probably build an audio patch panel.








  • You’re right. The other side of that is I did a little contract work for a company that is working on software for unmanned commercial flights.

    Those guys actually made me feel better. They were all super smart, meticulous, and incredibly good at their jobs. It was the first environment I’ve ever been in where I felt like I could just barely keep up. I always felt one commit away from fucking things up. So I moseyed on down the road as soon as the thing I was contracted for was finished.

    It was such a cool job and they offered me a permanent place. I just couldn’t feel behind every single day for the rest of my career until my system destroyed people’s lives.








  • Modems in general were either entirely PnP or a total goddamn nightmare in my experience. There was no in between. I remember setting up Slackware in the late 90s and my serial modem just worked. Even after I changed it, it worked. Even after I installed an internal modem, it worked. A few years later I set up Debian or one of its kids (probably knoppix, but I won’t testify to it) and couldn’t get a modem to work to save my life. It was so bad that I just didn’t use any Linux until I got DSL.
