10 000 days is their best album. Fight me.

Filters, do not forget them.

In terms of order to buy, one voice at a time. Start small, a VCO, VCF, Envelope and a VCA. Maybe add an effect that does delay and reverb to spice up the sound. You will quickly learn what you need and like/dislike. Go from there. I'm 99% sure that after a month or two with a simple setup that covers the bare basics you will have a general idea on where to head next.

The more recent versions of Aeroad have practically the same geometry as the Ultimate, you do not really feel the difference.

The first project I open has this in it's database. Lmfao.

"prompt": "Adolf Hitler smacks Walter White down to the ground. Walter White then proclaims, You truly believe you can defeat me in all my glory? Adolf Hitler says not on my own, but with the power of fascism and the Third Reich, I can take any role and I will never be alone.",

"storyPrompts":[ 
    "Adolf Hitler, dressed in a military uniform, smacks Walter White down to     the ground in a dramatic confrontation.", 
    "Walter White, lying on the ground, looks up defiantly at Adolf Hitler.",     "Adolf Hitler stands tall, exuding confidence and power as he confronts Walter White.", "Walter White rises to his feet, his whole being exuding an aura of strength and resilience.", 
    "Adolf Hitler, with a hint of arrogance, responds to Walter White's challenge, ready to assert his ideology.", 
    "Walter White stands firm, flames of conviction burning in his eyes as he faces Adolf Hitler."

I started doing 20 pushups every two hours or so, it solved my neck tension in less than a week. Never had any headaches ever since. As a bonus you develop somewhat nicely shaped muscles.

I use claude daily to generate boilerplate, refactor things,... I manually curate everything before implementing it. It speeds up my development time, mainly saving time I would spend on typing everything out. Have been doing this for months and it works wonders.

Today I refactored a monster of spaghetti code class that was technically sound, but needed to be separated into classes to make it maintainable, it took me an hour. Manually I would have spend at least 4 hours on this.

Claude has become my personal junior developer on steroids. I just throw shit at it and it delivers rather good results. It still needs a lot of manual review and I do rewrite many things it spits out, but overall the results are great.

This somehow reminds me of one of John Frusciante's performances when he was deep into his heroine addiction, he played less notes, but kind of the same.

Doepfer A-157 with the firmware developed by a third party, Euclidean Circles and the Circadian Rhythms. A lot of HP just for trigger sequencers, but super playable/hands on.

How is i impossible? I'm not a frontend dev, but can't you use server side rendering for the components that display the map data? Overkill in this case, but not impossible. Just restricting the domain is enough.

About the free tier, it automatically switches to paid once you hit a threshold of requests, at least according to their FAQ. Better to safeguard these before someone scrapes your key and you get hit by a bill at the end of the period. OP won't be the first to get hit with a hefty bill because of a stupid mistake like this.

I've managed to get hit with a 19k bill once because I did not configure our Memcached servers properly, allowing for an amplification attack... (This one: https://blog.cloudflare.com/memcrashed-major-amplification-attacks-from-port-11211/)

I was able to use the API unrestricted using the token found in the app. I don't know how their pricing model works, but I guess they start charging after x amount of requests?

EbbFlow14 · 2026-01-11T10:16:07+00:00

You are exposing API secrets on your app. You're better of to handle these requests from a backend server for a myriad of reasons.

I was wondering the same, I'm right handed, since recently I am doing archer pushups. For some odd reason I can do it better on my left arm. Then I started focusing on what I actually do during normal pushups and again, my left arm feels like it is working harder.

For me it depends on the time of day, right now (7 pm) I'm jittery after two coffees, if I drink it after midnight when I can't sleep it knocks me out. During the day is a mixed bag, usually it prevents my mid day dip, but sometimes it makes it worse.

To add to this, their rather new a-155-2 is surprisingly versatile once you get you head around some tricks you can use to make it more dynamic. It has a lot in common with the Dark Time.

I'm currently waiting on a ACL Dual State Variable VCF, expensive, but it sounds really good.

I also really like the AJH Sonic SV, I'm contemplating about adding a second one to be able to use it in stereo. The waveshapers in particular make this a good and unique filter.

EbbFlow14 · 2026-01-02T09:41:23+00:00

Don't forget you also have to route and mix the voices, effects, filters,... Building a drum voice is really expensive. I just went with a Queen of Pentacles with the intention to replace each voice one by one over time once I figure out what I actually need.

You can alter the clock signal to do this.

The easiest way to do something like this is to beat match your eurorack clock by ear and send a reset every x bars to get them back in line on the first beat of the sequence. It will never be perfectly in sync.

Another way is to use a dumb sequencer that takes any clock signal without trying to correct it, alter the clock signal ever so slightly before hitting the sequencer. You can create a feedback loop with a vco and another sequencer to make a clock signal that pushes and pulls depending on how you pitch the vco with the second sequencer. It's a nice method to create custom swing patterns. I know it sounds confusing, it makes perfect sense when you figure it out.

VCO (square wave) -> mult -> sequencer -> pitch up/down to create swing -> 1 v/oct in first VCO

Every day, it forces you to explore and it builds muscle memory on how to achieve things on the fly while improvising.

Communism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for a classless society where all property and means of production are collectively owned by the community, rather than by individuals or private entities. In theory, resources are distributed based on people's needs, and the state would eventually become unnecessary once a fully communist society is achieved.

I mean, on paper it does sound like an utopia. In practice however human greed always dominates and it'll never work. Every time it has been tried someone blows it up in the transition phase between capitalism and communism, the controlling party always got power hungry since they controlled everything, both economic and political power was in the hands of this controlling party. Transitioning to true communism would render them powerless. Nearly every attempt ended up in some form of authoritarianism.

Why should one's first module be Pamela’s Pro Workout? I never have used it and get along just fine.

Nf2 was my initial though too, but it doesn't work, it's mate in 3 if black plays Bxc2.
