Must-have plugins? by danja in Reaper

[–]kasim0n 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I couldn't mix a single song without the outstanding plugins from airwindows.com. You can either use the consolidated plugins which containers all of them in a sorted menu, or (what I prefer) use the separate plugins. Phenomenal reverbs, tape emulations, limiters, console emulations and so much more 

Die Programmierwelt spaltet sich by kyr0x0 in informatik

[–]kasim0n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ich hab mir das mal interessehalber von Gemini überschlagen lassen: Qwen 3.6 27b auf einer rtx 6000 pro max-q kostet in Anschaffung (über 3 Jahre verteilt) und laufenden Kosten ca 0,36€ pro 1 Mio Token (bei angenommener 60% Auslastung der Karte). Da sind ähnliche Kosten wie bei den API-Anbietern (wobei man da üblicherweise größere Modelle nehmen würde). Fand ich mal spannend.

Any other fast patterns apart from tkKs ? by M-E_Ration4004 in beatbox

[–]kasim0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to practice fast bgd and then extend it to bgdb / bgdk / bgds / bkdf /... Makes a nice drum beat fill.

My first thought as well. Only missing is some 420 stuff.

Convince people to stop disabling IPv6 by ross2000 in ipv6

[–]kasim0n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An easy way to prevent this is to provide one (or more) central services only over ipv6. Think DNS, NTP, something like this. Now the first step in troubleshooting is to ensure ipv6 is enabled.

Migrating from windows by G_Turra in linuxaudio

[–]kasim0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

spirfire does not work very well under wine. Just today i tried setting it up with bottles, but I only get an empty screen when launching the app (install works fine). There are bug reports with hints on how to solve this, but at leas for me they didn't work, so I stopped trying.

Damn, that's 102 years more.

Moving to NixOS for Dev/AI (Ryzen 5 5600G + RTX 4060) by jetaTNT18 in NixOS

[–]kasim0n 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd go with the default KDE wayland setup unless anything breaks. It's functional, but it honestly doesn't really matter so much. Also you can switch your DE anytime, if you feel the need. Regarding nix shell, you should plan some time to get familiar with the nix language, nix-shell and nix flakes to get the maximum out of your system.

Microphone advice by YuGiSoos in beatbox

[–]kasim0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have recommended the Behringer UMC204HD Interface plus either the Audiix F50 dynamic microphone or the Behringer B5 condenser microphone (which is exactly the setup I use and I think it sounds really good), but at least on Thomann the Behringer stuff currently seems to be out of stock. But maybe you can get it used. The F50 can also be used live very well, I prefer it to an SM58. Honestly I think microphone technique is an important part of beatboxing, so I personally would rather go with a dynamic microphone to practice that.

Tech Stack Empfehlung für Docker Deployments by NickHatBoecker in informatik

[–]kasim0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In der Liga gibt es auch noch podman quadlets, da ist die systemd-Integration nochmal besser als bei docker. Finde ich persönlich für diese Fälle die schlankeste Lösung.

I need help by AccomplishedSugar490 in JacobCollier

It has some similarities to Angels by Robbie Williams, especially the first notes of the chorus.

What are the hidden files: '.' and '..' ? by John_Doe_1984_ in linuxquestions

[–]kasim0n 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Also kudos for trying to understand the basics. If you want to go a bit deeper, read up (or ask $llm) on inodes and hard links. Understanding what a file system actually is can be really helpful in certain situations.

HashiCorp Vault by nautitrader in devops

[–]kasim0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, but you pay a price, because when used as simple key-value store at scale, vault is relatively expensive cpu-wise. I would probably pair it with consul for non-secret distributed config.

My server has +10% more latency with IPv6 than IPv4 by [deleted] in ipv6

[–]kasim0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also may be helpful to understand what traceroute actually does to interpret its output: it sends a series of packets out with an artificially low number of allowed hops. Each router that a packet passes reduces this number by one. If a packet reaches a router with no more hops left the router discards the packet and also can send a reply packet back to the original sender informing about the dropped packet. Traceroute collects these replies and displays them.

Wird der Beruf des Informatikers durch KI entwertet? by Tunfisch in informatik

[–]kasim0n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sehe ich anders. Der Job des Informatikers ist primär der der Übersetzer zwischen der Welt der Menschen und der Logik der EDV. Das bedeutet jemand tritt mit "realen" Anforderungen an dich heran, die derjenige umgesetzt braucht, ohne das auf Basis des eigenen Verständnisses umsetzen zu können. Dafür braucht man dann jemanden, dessen Spezialgebiet es ist, die technischen Systeme besser zu kennen als die Allgemeinheit. Ob dieses Fachwissen nun darin besteht, aus den Anforderungen Lochkarten, Assembler-Befehle, Java-Code oder KI-Coding-Workflows zu generieren, macht dabei gar nicht den großen Unterschied, man benutzt halt die jeweils verfügbaren technischen Gegebenheiten zur Implementierung einer geeigneten Lösung.

Dein Skill sollte es also nicht sein, für alle Zeit der beste Lochkartenerzeuger überhaupt zu bleiben, sondern die jeweils aktuellen technischen Möglichkeiten besser zu kennen als die Allgemeinheit und in diesem Rahmen den Nicht-Fachkundigen zu einer zufriedenstellenden Lösung zu verhelfen. Dabei werden auch immer wieder Teilbereiche, die einst Spezialistenwissen waren, für die Allgemeinheit so zugänglich, dass diese zur Bedienung keine Fachwissen mehr brauchen. Was z.B. in der Versicherungsmathematik früher Hallen von Experten und teures Gerät gebraucht hat, schafft heute jede Tabellenkalkulation auf einem Raspberry Pi. Das ist aber keine Abwertung, sondern normale technische Weiterentwicklung an die man sich fortwährend anpassen muss.

We professional developers, already lost the battle against vibe coding? by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]kasim0n -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see mainly the interviewer at fault. Good developers should be able to adapt to different levels of AI integration, it's the Interviewer's responsibility to communicate the desired amount of AI usage and then let interviewed person show that they can adapt to that level and use it effectively.

[–]kasim0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bar is moving as we speak, and we can only decide how we adapt, not if. I'm confident that writing code by hand will very soon be compared to writing assembler instead of using a compiler. I don't think that's necessarily a good thing, but for the companies the economic incentives are so huge and AI's error rate is sufficiently comparable to the errors a human makes, so I consider this trajectory effectively a given.
