but what is bonkwave? Is there a representative work?

Like, if you want to know about Vaporwave, I would paste for you a Macintosh Plus playlist I know of on youtube, because while it may or may not represent the entirety of the genre, it definitely represents the most important aspects of it.

I've been trying to find this for bonkwave.

edit: please don't ask me to sort out what is sarcasm and what is not when the thing says not bonkwave

maybe this is like, bonkwave's White Album where it's totally avant garde or else just weird rather than, you know, a rock'n'roll album. How would I know?

@jpaskaruk

if you read the (admittedly long and boring) blog post linked above, you'll see that what you're asking for is, by definition, not possible!

I suggest seeking more answers by listening to the "Not What I Call Bonk Wave" compilations which you can find here: bonkwave.org/music - these are as definitive as it gets.

There's a radio station here: not.what.i.call.radio.bonkwave… also available via The Indie Beat FM.

My TEAC 32-2B is home and operational again. Turns out it’s a rare one, actually being a Tascam X-10 disguised as a TEAC 32-2. I guess that’s why they added the β€œB.” It has 2 drive belts instead of 1, but the kicker is that it supports both NAB (North American) and IEC (European) EQ with a push button on the front panel. #GearHunter #MusicProduction #Analog #ReelToReel #Tascam #TEAC

Well, it depends on what you mean by 2D--like--YES, I can imagine that I would generally be drawn in an instinctual and even conscious, PURPOSED, manner to the archtype of bewb, even mommyism. And that's like, okay, fair enough.

Now do I like them flat? Well, I mean, I certainly like them pressed. Is that 2D? Perhaps you mean more specifically do I like them drawn? Well, are they not masterpieces--how would you say?--drawn flat, as in moving in one direction?--and by that I mean in Time. You see? Even 3D bewbs are then, you could say, pressed ALWAYS in a certain dimension.

And just as flat and unreachable! The memory image one can conjure of the 3D mommy milkers one has witnessed or is currently witnessing--beholding!--that very second are as drawn as the 2D Fern Funbags. It's truly, truly remarkable the... the lack of clear distinction.

There are identity dimensions and there is history surrounding us all. Now our collective moral compass guides us to show respect and grief for the groups history's dictators belittle and murder. It's a show of goodwill for all humanity to show remorse for our history's mistakes, and decisiveness about the groups which we choose to pay the most attention and respect now. It's an act of solidarity and the least we can do to mourn those immeasurable losses and heal our most hurt family members.

I remember working with colleagues who regarded syntax highlighting as a cognitive crutch to be discouraged.

I'll admit I never fully bought into it -- color schemes are fun! -- but I did try shutting it off for good while. I can't help thinking about how one arrives at such views, and what I might learn from them.

The principle I took from it (intended or not): highlighting desensitizes your eye and encourages skimming over code, jumping from symbol to symbol, rather than really seeing and studying it more deeply and carefully. If code is too noisy in plain monochromatic text, it can probably be made simpler, more concise.

I think about that principle a lot these days.

Time to add Nike to the list of companies to boycott.

A company that terminates a business contract because of someone’s view on Palestine isn’t a company.

It’s a cesspit that condones genocide, ostracizes those who don’t support it as well, and doesn’t deserve to stay in business.

I don't want to go gloves off again, I've been ignoring this fucking creep for the guts of a year now but he's joined up here and he's adding everyone that interacts with me, tagging me on other platforms and doing fake account crap.

I think I'm going to have to un-private some old blog posts and add an update post onto the end.

EU weighs downgrading ties with Israel

EU leaders are considering possible repercussions for #Israel in response to the situation in #Gaza, with a new review likely finding it falls short of human rights obligations. A broad coalition of 17 EU member countries, led by the Netherlands, pushed for the review β€” which will be presented at a meeting of foreign affairs ministers on June 23.

Diplomats are pushing for action, and the European Commission may be called upon to downgrade ties, particularly in trade areas, if violations are substantiated. While fully ending the Association Agreement faces hurdles, the Council aims to explore options requiring only a qualified majority.

The European External Action Service is actively assessing Israel's compliance with international law.

Small NAS home server woes


So, I currently have a Netgear ReadyNAS 314 with 1 SSD, 3 HDDs, Intel Atom D2701 and 4GB RAM, running Debian 12, and since getting it I've been getting more into self hosting. What I have now is primarily too weak in the CPU and RAM department, but it could also use more HDDs. I'm aiming for 5-6 3.5 HDDs, 1 Nvme, 1 2.5" SSD.

What I'm currently running:
* Samba and NFS server

  • OpenVPN
  • Jellyseerr/Jellyfin/*arr stack
  • Pangolin
  • Dawarich
  • Immich
  • rsnapshot
  • Homepage

And it's rather sluggish right now, and is almost filling up its 4GB of swap.

What I'd also like to be able to run/have:

  • Nextcloud
  • Transcoding (including ability to decode AV1, but preferably also encode)
  • Anything else I may want to run (working on degoogling myself)
  • ECC RAM (to prevent bitrot, I'm already running btrfs raid1 to prevent bitrot from faulty disks)
  • 1x 2.5G ethernet

If possible I'd like to have some room for upgradeability. I'm aiming for a low power build, that should be rather compact, especially not very wide unless I can find a better place in my office for it.

I'm looking at a Jonsbo N1 chassis (17cm wide) , but I'm also following a Readynas 626 (19cm wide) in an online auction. Options:

Intel N100 board

Pros: cheap, low power, quicksync with av1 decode

Cons: boards with 2.5G ethernet have to be ordered from Aliexpress and have no support and uses the JMB585 chip that prevents low power C states, limited pcie lanes, no AV1 encode, not very upgradeable (1 DIMM, soldered CPU) , no ECC, I worry it may be too slow

Intel 13100

Pros: AV1 enc/dec, quite fast, upgradeable

Cons: No ECC, relatively expensive

AMD 8500G

Pros: AV1 enc/dec, ECC, relatively fast, upgradeable

Cons: relatively expensive, not as low power as the 13100

Readynas 626

Pros: enterprise grade HW, less DIY, ECC, may be relatively cheap

Cons: high power for its performance (roughly that of the N100), wider (19cm) than a Jonsbo N1 (17cm), not upgradeable (no CPU or mobo swap), expensive DDR4 2133 ECC UDIMM

I'd love to hear what you think about these options and whether you have other concerns that I haven't thought about.

So, anyone uses controllers on PC? What controller do you guys use?

I'm asking for both Windows and Linux, by the way.
When I did use controllers, I used PS3 ones and I had to go through all the hoops for them to work on Windows, I kind of lost that Windows installation like 3 installations ago and obviously the bluetooth dongle doesn't work anymore, so I stopped using a controller ages ago.
I was thinking of getting some because I'm kind of getting impatient, I can't really learn action games anymore on Keyboard, which is normal, I mean, you get used to it, but it's also true controllers have it easier.

This view is literally a construction site (to become the new JP Morgan building), but abstract at the same time. We see the new skyscraper, and the buildings in the background, essentially as a Mondrian-esq deconstructed tangle of lines and rectangles.

Down to 17% body fat now, according to the body fat calculator.

Did 3 sets of handstand today. 3+2+3
I don't think mine are perfect in any way but it is going in the right direction.

Somehow I am doing mostly Calisthenics now. Because I had cut back on push ups and I felt it as if I was regressing. So I am doing push ups daily again. And adding some chin ups and now handstands.

Was already restricted to body weight squats due to some older Disc herniation and problems with my knees.

Perhaps when I can do, lets say 10 of those handstand that I will be able to walk or such.

I pretty much mastered the balance to stand still. But walking, not even close.

I really think I was just too weak in my shoulders.
Measuring my strength now. I am still behind in shoulders and ahead in back strength and biceps. Am slowly geting more balanced. As if the body really want to.

Or it could just be newbie gains in my weakest, lesser developed muscles.
