    > I've built a few DIY kits and have never run into any issues until now. And I'm not even sure if I messed up the build or the design of the module is just wonky... > Turning up the decay past 11 o'clock or so causes the volume of each hit to vary, and fluctuate wildly if turned up all the way, as can be seen in the image. > > I can sorta replicate the issue in the simulated circuits linked in the manual - it seems like the volume of each hit depends on what direction the wave was moving when a new hit is triggered. In some cases the volume goes up, because of resonance, in others it goes down as the newly triggered wave is muffled by being out of phase with the previous one. > Interestingly the issue disappear of the pitch is turned all the way up. > > Anyone else having this issue, or did I fuck up the build?

    Russian tripwire explosive found in the forest near Bucha.
  • Uhh, the explosives from the world wars have not been cleaned up. I've been evacuated from my home twice due to the discovery of aerial bombs under construction sites, and the forest behind my childhood home was still being cleared of mines until ~2008, IIRC. This was in Germany.

  • And so on and so on
  • how can 1 man be so based?

  • Is there a tv series that shows what things are like in China or Soviet Russia (one party system, with english subs)
  • my guess is they didn't want them to leave the area, moving to towns still populated by people and spread radioactivity there. no clue, though.

  • Why has the world started to mine coal again?
  • A single new reactor takes decades to build and costs billions. Investing in solar, wind, the grid and storage instead will generate more energy, faster, and for less.

  • Deutsche Firmen schlagen Alarm: Enteignung wird in Ungarn zur Norm
  • Ungarische Behördenwillkür kann ich in letzter Zeit auch in meinem Job beobachten. Konkret sieht es bei mir so aus, dass notwendige Unterlagen bemängelt werden, ohne, dass auch nur ein Hinweis darauf gegeben wird, was nicht korrekt sei. Behörden in anderen EU-Staaten führen stattdessen jede fehlerhafte Passage mit entsprechender Rechtsgrundlage auf, aber bei dem aktuellen Vorgehen hat man in Ungarn keine Chance binnen der gesetzten Frist eine "akzeptable" Korrektur einzureichen. Die Behörden antworten darauf stets wieder nur, dass die gesetzlichen Anforderungen nicht erfüllt seien.

    Aus eigener Erfahrung würde ich also den Verdacht bestätigen, dass Ungarn gezielt versucht den inländischen Firmen einen Wettbewerbsvorteil zu erschaffen, indem man ausländische drangsaliert und verdrängt.

  • Deutsche Firmen schlagen Alarm: Enteignung wird in Ungarn zur Norm
    www.fr.de Deutsche Unternehmen schlagen Alarm: Enteignung ausländischer Firmen in Ungarn greift um sich

    Mitten in der Europäischen Union wird regelmäßig und bewusst gegen jeden Ethos der EU verstoßen. In Ungarn werden ausländische Unternehmen Stück für Stück enteignet.

    What's your favorite old school forum?
  • sciencemadness.org is a fantastic resource for home chemistry. I love that necroing is encouraged, and never understood why so many other forums forbid it.

  • Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts
  • I hate the fact that my NVidia Shield has no indicator to tell whether it's running at all. The first time I plugged it in it wouldn't work and I was about to return it. Turned out the HDMI cable was bad, but not being able to see if the device even received power made it a pain to trouble shoot.

  • Any sources for music sheets? (Piano specifically)
  • You can use LibreScore to download from MuseScore without an account: https://github.com/LibreScore/dl-librescore

  • Do you struggle to keep your house tidy?
  • robot vacuum runs at night, shit needs to be off the floor - this helps a lot already

    Absolutely can second this. In my case I just spend 5 minutes each morning making sure there's nothing on the floor before the robot does its thing, and it's helped tremendously. Stuff used to get moved around to places it didn't belong and just stay there - but not anymore.

    I also make sure to never leave a room empty-handed, if there's something that needs cleaning up. Just pick up a glass on my way to the kitchen, or a toy on my way past the kid's room - at this point it's just automatic, takes nearly zero extra time or effort, and has a huuuuuge impact. I think I've only purposefully tidied the apartment once in the last 6 months, because stuff just no longer builds up to the point that it becomes a big mess.

  • What's the worst thing you've ever smelled?
  • Pyridine is pretty horrible... Don't really know how to describe the smell: like a mix of rotten cum and ashtray? It overpowers any other smells, gives me instant headaches and the stench can linger for hours.

    Dimethyl sulfide is also pretty disgusting to me, kinda like... a kitchen that's been used to cook brussel sprouts for 20 years + garlic breath?

  • Why don't scene groups sign their releases with PGP?
  • There's no need for scene groups to sign their releases. If they notice a fake, they simply nuke the release and siteops purge whoever pred it.

  • What operating system do you use on your main computer?
  • Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.

  • What very old/unmaintained software do you still use today, and why?
  • Buckets is a good alternative for anyone who can't find a key for YNAB classic: https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/

  • Sources for FLAC Music
  • Redacted and Orpheus are good private general music trackers with loads of FLACs. Join by interview or getting an invite.

  • What very old/unmaintained software do you still use today, and why?
  • I was gonna say something like ping, but there's still a surprising amount of development going on for such a simple tool (40th anniversary, yay!): https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping/ping.c

    So... retro games it is. Currently playing through Broken Sword (1996).

    Experience with ELAC support

    My cat recently decided to go to town on one of my ELAC speakers. I contacted their support in order to buy a replacement driver, and they straight up sent me one for free :)

    So, shoutout to ELAC for a very pleasant customer experience.

    [Resolved] Can't upload pictures

    So I'm currently trying to set up an instance, and I'm unable to upload pictures. The following toaster appears: https://imgur.com/d0MUhUb

    And in the logs I see this: 2023-06-25T10:48:11.127198782Z 2023-06-25T10:48:11.127080Z WARN lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Request error: error sending request for url (http://localhost:8080/image): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Address not available (os error 99) 2023-06-25T10:48:11.127262799Z Reqwest(reqwest::Error { kind: Request, url: Url { scheme: "http", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: "", password: None, host: Some(Domain("localhost")), port: Some(8080), path: "/image", query: None, fragment: None }, source: hyper::Error(Connect, ConnectError("tcp connect error", Os { code: 99, kind: AddrNotAvailable, message: "Address not available" })) })

    I have a pictrs container up, and set the following options in lemmy.hjson: pictrs_config: { url: "http://pictrs:8080" api_key: "apikey" }

    Also tried it with pictrs_url: "http://pictrs:8080" (as described here), but that didn't help either. Why is lemmy trying to access localhost:8080 rather than pictrs:8080?

    Edit: This has been resolved, thanks to @slashzero@hackbox.social: https://lemmy.ml/comment/948928
