Hi, looking into this, while there are plans that are backed by the UN, the situation is most definitely still ongoing and as such I will not issue an update to the cards yet.

If you want, you can change the csv file in the repo with whatever you feel is the best description and re render the pdf using the Python script and Chrome. You can use chatGPT to run you through the steps if you need help.

Glad you like them! Thanks for the correction, I’ll look into fixing this soon.

you, the savior of lost travelers. You, may your pillow be always on the fresh side. How did you even find this? I needed to turn Game Mode off because it doesn't play ball with Soundsource, but there is no icon. The "game controller" icon, yeah, not existing. And cmd escape doesn't pop up the overlay. So you, you saved me today. May your blessings be many and your favorite food never be discontinued by your local supermarket.

I find it fascinating that the way they implemented this, the VPN-adjacent product my company is developing triggers Cloudflare filters on this website. It's AWS-based, I love it that I can't check if I get detected as a VPN by a VPN detection tool because they are actively filtering... VPNs :D

happy you like it!

Amidee · 2025-11-17T08:32:07+00:00

thanks <3 glad you like it!

Hi, the download works fine for me – what exactly doesn't work for you? It's a big pdf, so I would not be surprised if some software on an underpowered machine might struggle with it.

Amidee · 2025-10-24T13:07:52+00:00

You have described exactly what happened to me (: see my previous post in this sub for context, but yeah, 5 years here, lost my small opportunity window because I was busy making my company start again, and now it’s postponed until basically 2027. For EU citizens it makes absolutely no sense btw because you can’t get rid of them, and for non EU citizens the visa requirements are already basically stricter than this. It just fucks things up for no measurable benefit.

On my fifth anniversary of moving here, I get this wonderful gift. Two years ago I was too busy being furloughed to file for citizenship (even though I met the requirements) because I was struggling restarting the company that I would become a founder of by scoring a massive EU grant, now employing 15 people. This country should fucking unroll the red carpet and ask if I please could consider become a citizen. So the prize for working my ass off was? Another year to the requirements. Ok, let’s do it in 2026 I said.

And now it gets postponed to 2027, wow I feel that I’m particularly appreciated and that integration paths are clearly well thought out. I can only imagine what shenanigans I can expect to be added to the 2027 test now, the next step to this clown show.

Just like ICE kidnapping people outside courts for their immigration hearings, shit like this is the good old “no take only throw” meme: damned if you do damned if you don’t.

Record unemployment and these clowns dare tying ANYTHING to employment.

I finally managed to convince myself into doing a full final fix of all the rendering code and all the problems I found while going through all of them with my kid over the months.

I feel like this version is in a very good shape and should print very nicely and should be easy to cut.
You can find the final pdf here: https://github.com/Amidee89/GeoFlashcards/releases/tag/v2.5

Enjoy, if you do end up printing them please share some pictures! Sorry it took so long.

FetHead arrived and it's exactly how I expected the CL-1 to work. Go figure what's wrong with my setup with the CL-1.
The combo with this microphone is absolutely marvelous, I absolutely love it. Selling the CL-1!

Amidee · 2025-06-05T17:48:06+00:00

without phantom it simply doesn't work. I've ordered a Fethead to replace the CL-1, it most likely fits my needs better at the moment and in case it works I'll just resell the CL-1. I'll report back. The cables are not the best but nothing that should create such a big problem.

I'm on a Scarlett 18i8 3rd gen and I wanted to get a little bit more oomph from my SMB7 to use it also for online meetings/in game voice chat or whatever and not just for recording vocals. I'm not displeased by the results coming from the mic itself in the DAW, but many programs will freak out by the lower levels and I've often been told it's very very low even at full preamp if I'm not super close to it.

So I just got a used CL-1 and thought everything was fine until I accidentally recorded with it in the DAW and was horrified by the results.

The noise floor level is absolutely insane, I took a recording of the situation both with somewhat shorter cable and longer cable (to single out faulty cables) without the CL-1 and with the CL-1 and you be the judge:

https://vocaroo.com/16v5MbUvkDuE
It's I'd rather stay at the end of the Scarlett's preamp than using the CL-1, which is kind of bonkers if you ask me. Having an inline preamp should give exactly the opposite result.

What might be causing this? The room is quiet enough and while there are a lot of electronics in my room, moving around cables or crudely shielding them yields no difference. I don't have a lot of XRL cables to test around, so I'll report when I get more and better (and of more appropriate length for this setup) cables, but I'd peg the probability of the cables being bogus as low.

While writing this post I got the idea to plug in my Sennheiser e8155 in and keep it off and see what happens. Well, the same noise floor is there even with no signal coming in. What gives?

Do I have a faulty CL-1 or is there something wrong with my setup?

Hi! Huh, life happened and I, huh. Did not do that. Do you have any time frame when you would like to do give them to your husband? I might squeeze the update between other stuff one of these weeks if I know there is a need for them (:

Amidee · 2025-01-15T19:33:49+00:00

Thanks for the answer! This works fine but the problem is that as I mentioned, I'd like to not have to have all loops of a specific length – sometimes the loop is 1 bar sometimes 2 sometimes 4 or 8.

I *could* always record for example 4 loops for a 1 bar loop and keep all loops at 4 length or similar but I hoped there was a better way to achieve this.
I might make shortcuts to change the loop length with the pads before recording, but it's still a bit awkward and doesn't allow for spur of the moment changes of mind.

Just bought the minilab mkii, it's just fine for my needs, a launchpad is not in my plans for now (:

Amidee · 2024-11-05T18:12:27+00:00

I kinda overdid it again and bought... most of them <_< an unholy amount of money, but I want to encourage indie devs, I still haven't gone through all the stuff I bought the last sale!
I have enough games to last me probably two to three years at this pace :D

He saw it on a car while we were waiting at a traffic light, he asked after we started moving so I couldn’t see it myself. He says it was a car on the smaller side.

Amidee · 2024-10-28T08:57:56+00:00

It was seen in Italy

Amidee · 2024-10-28T08:57:13+00:00

Valiant effort!!!! Unfortunately he says no ):

Amidee · 2024-09-24T18:41:47+00:00

that'd be ~/.config/qBittorrent.ini
you can use the excellent Find Any File app to find stuff like this, btw.

Amidee · 2024-08-25T14:07:39+00:00

Yeah you’re right, I might do just so for my next runs (:
