@eapl.me a āminimalisticā one too, just like Yarnd. š
Iām playing with ratterplatter again: Itās a toy that watches disk I/O and emulates the noise of a real hard disk. (Linux only.) It uses sound samples from one of my older disks.
I tried a different approach at estimating the disk activity and I think I finally got it right (after almost 10 years ā¦ š¤¦).
Demo, booting a Windows 2000 VM: https://movq.de/v/1400544cc6/2kboot-ratterplatter-2.mp4
(For this purpose alone, I put a couple of mini speakers into my PC case, so that the noise comes from the right place: https://movq.de/v/a3b2dc0932/speakers.jpg)
The results arenāt too bad, but this thing canāt be super accurate due to the huge I/O caches that we have these days. For the video, I dropped the caches before booting Windows, otherwise you would have heard almost nothing.
FWIW, if you donāt know it yet, this is the equivalent for proper keyboard sound: https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring

@movq @xuu That sounds like kat! :-)
Is there some Makefile shenanigans going on maybe? $V and $C being swallowed by the Makefile. I fell in that trap again the other day.

yeah its from Yarn.. should be $VERSION@$COMMIT and its supposed to be replaced with the actual version and commit.

well, that leads to a long conversation.
Piracy is a difficult topic which is very personal, so I won't say much about it.
On writing books, I've tried along with other digital products such as courses and videogames, and I got to confess that it has been hard for me.
If it helps, I think it all reaches our expectations on the activity and the result. If royalties is the expectation, it's going to be slow. By 5% of royalties, for a rough example, a huge amount of sales will be required to get a decent "wage", so I've understood of doing it by the side of a normal employment although it has been discouraging and a bit sad.
I have reflected about it in Spanish here: https://sembrandojuegos.substack.com/p/sobre-expectativas-al-crear-juegos
@prologic that's you, and me, and some others. Sadly, though, a huge majority (I don't have sources, or numbers, but "trust me, bro" :-P) will simply, gladly, and unapologetically, pirate.

@prologic Fully agreed. I'm far more likely to buy such mediums when DRM-free. I never go near Amazon eBooks etc because of their lock-in, and I have a Kobo eReader which needs to have the books side loaded unless directly from the Kobo store. I prefer DRM-free files every time.
@andros That's a shame. But here's the thing about piracy. If I could download a PDF or MP3/OGG of a Book I'd happily pay for this. If I could download an MP3/OGG of some Music I would pay for this. If I could download an MP4 of a Movie I would pay for this.
The reason piracy exists at all is economics and greed. If you make something affordable and convenient, there's no need to steal.

I have just received the royalties for the last book: 98 euros for the four-month period, about 24 euros a month on average. Not even enough for the gym membership.
If you have to keep some knowledge: don't write for money, the paper (or ebook) industry is in a very bad way, the margins for the author are very small and piracy is devastating.

Amazing! It is a good tool for reading feeds. What you used to calculate the hash?

Hello, i want to present my new revolution twtxt v3 format - twjson
That's why you should use it:
1. It's easy to to parse
2. It's easy to read (in formatted mode :D)
3. It used actually \\n for newlines, you don't need unprintable symbols
4. Forget about hash collisions because using full hash

@lyse Thanks for taking a look, and for pointing out the mixture of tabs and spaces.
I think I'll leave reachability.c alone, since my intention there was to use an indent level of one tab, and the spaces are just there to line up a few extra things. I fixed reachability_with_stack.cc though.

Okay trying SqliteCache again with a slight tweak. I _might_ have to rethink the hard-coded LIMIT 50.

Hmmm this needs a bit more work.

@kat They all just wanted to be friends with a cool gal like you. ;-) It's sad that putting things openly on the internet just waits to be raided by script kiddies, bots or spammers eventually.

@movq Yeah, like nearly all of them. There is the so called Bannwald, where it typically is not allowed to log, but there's only one in my entire county and I haven't even visted it. I should change that. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bannwald
