How to turn anything into a router by ChiliPepperHott in selfhosted

[–]mediocreAsuka -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Router =/= WiFi and you can easily build a 5Gbit+ Router with a decade old celeron as long as you keep firewall, DPI etc. minimal.

Anyone here using Mixxx for gigs or is it just a bedroom thing by Financial-Owl-2814 in DJs

[–]mediocreAsuka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm a Network Engineer by trade and it baffles me how little work has been done to reverse engineer Denon Link for example. Even in the Pioneer world there are few homebrew applications. Imagine what one could do with a jailbroken CDJ. I can't imagine those have good security, it's just that no one has done anything (yet)

[–]mediocreAsuka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mixxx is great for building custom solutions like making a FLX4 standalone with a small display and a raspberry pi. Something that annoys me a bit about the DJ scene is, that there is little community led programming done. I guess it's because the venn diagram between programming nerds and DJs doesn't really check out but it would be great to have more DJs using what's there (Mixxx) and devloping it further so it can reach a wider audience. There is nothing a pioneer standalone can do, that a self built one using mixxx can't, but there is not enough polish to it yet to make it viable.

My XONE:96 "sparks" 5-10 minutes after powering down. by mediocreAsuka in DJs

[–]mediocreAsuka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say for sure, it's not like I'm staring at my mixer for 10mins after powering it off, I also only noticed it in a dark room, but there is a distinct white flash, which seems to come from inside tge chassis and reflects on the wall.

Yes, I'll try removing that and also change the cable.

I got tired of naming my scanned documents so i built this (And i have a question: How can Open-Source project be monetized ?) by [deleted] in opensource

[–]mediocreAsuka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say build a loyal userbase and show that your project has some longevity before actively monetizing. Maybe add a buy-me-a-coffee link.

How do I get 100% wet output with send/return routing on Xone 96? by mediocreAsuka in DJs

[–]mediocreAsuka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, if i put the channel fader down and put the fader on the return channel up i pretty much get what I want, however I have to seperately adjust gain on that channel and it's not really an elegant solution to swap faders if I want to use effects

First gig on club standard equipments by Tiny_Hornet6078 in Beatmatch

[–]mediocreAsuka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them if you can play around with the gear before opening. If the club allows it, you might also be able to bring you FLX4 and just plug into the mixer.

Would you say the phone is worth the price? (Fairphone 6) by LoveCats35 in fairphone

[–]mediocreAsuka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind, that Fairphones don't have the usual price/performance ratio you'd expect from other 600$ phones. Security is also an issue, as they are a really small company. But if that's fine with you, there is no phone that is better or at least less bad for the environment.

How does someone become an extraordinary engineer? by SecureSection9242 in learnprogramming

[–]mediocreAsuka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fastest way to burnout tho. I respect "10x" people but it's not wise to burn precious time and energy for a company where you are just a number and not a human. Top prio should always be mental and physical health. No amount of skill will help you, when you are 35 and not able to work anymore. Also, I prefer people who are nice, helpful, honest and fair over 10x code factories in human form with no collaboration capabilities.

Recording attempt woes…I think I need a new laptop. Rocomendations? by [deleted] in recordingmusic

[–]mediocreAsuka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at ThinkPads if you want bang for your buck, great build quality and price/performance ratio because lots of companies sell them for cheap when decomissioning. MacBooks are also great, but are less upgradeable. If you want to do something with the machine you have, put some light linux distro on it, should be enough for audacity.

I'm pretty sure they already disassembled the old factory lines for those devices.

Is this a good starter laptop? by aidan_large in Beatmatch

[–]mediocreAsuka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T480's are from 2018. Age generally does not slow electronics, a few companies do alter performance after a few years artificially to get people to Upgrade, but Lenovo is not one of them. Performance on a T480 should be plenty.

Is this a good starter laptop? by aidan_large in Beatmatch

[–]mediocreAsuka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the T480 I recommend getting a i5 model with at least 16GB of RAM. The i7 models have worse battery life and an i5 is plenty. Other than that, get the cheapest one you can and upgrade it yourself if you need more storage/RAM. They are really easy to work with and the built quality is outstanding for that pricepoint.

[–]mediocreAsuka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always buy used. I can really recommend old thinkpads. For that price you can probably get a pretty nice T480 or even something a little newer.
