I felt I was going to be dismissive just looking at the link image, but I did find the creation process and the result fascinating.
At the end, when it faded and got quiet though, I felt a sense of relief.

@Jam Yeah I felt the same. As Gators said, it’s was repetitive. Irritatingly so.
Might be a limitation of the tool/language but she had at least one other song that sounded better and was more of regular song but still not my cup of tea. I mostly posted it for the process not the music.

That syntax though. Kinda repetitive, most musicians use a timeline to compose. But still looks fun. Here’s the cli site.
The interactive tutorial they have is great. I guess it almost needs to be since it’s pretty cryptic on the face of it.
Don’t get too excited. Sorry to tell you this, but you are an old man and don’t have the abs to ever be a great DJ.

Better!
I could do without the banging on the garbage cans though, especially with the loose lids. ;-)
A touch of poetry as well . . .
I can enjoy listening to this one.

On the upside, Gators may become obsessed with you

Same lady:
Still not my thing but better than the other one.
At least it’s not just repeating loops.
This is a synth channel, but you can kind of see how they compose stuff on the program where they record the individual tracks and then combine it later. Have not done this in years, but you could play/record or even just write the score in the program. Either way you are learning music theory to have something decent come out of the process.
Also if you are hell bent on programming, seems like there are bunch of Python libraries to do stuff.

It’s the green hair that gets me and Hog will never have that. Maybe a green head…that might work?

Man who wore watermelon on head while stealing from convenience store arrested, police say
Virginia police arrested one suspect accused of stealing alcohol from a convenience store while wearing a hollowed-out watermelon on his head.

Some would say that our diets are similar.

I can’t make it for dinner any more.

It all tastes like chicken anyway.
The initial number of legs isn’t quite as relevant as it first sounds, really. -
Snails don’t have legs!

How I Almost Got Hacked By A 'Job Interview'
I was 30 seconds away from running malware, Here's how a sophisticated scam operation almost got me, and why every developer needs to read this.
Kind of insidious. Being a coder, having to run a private project on my machine to do a pre-interview test would not be suspcious to me. I’m guessing the compressed time frame was deliberate on the part of the fuckers.
Edit: I do a heck of a lot of experimentation and am regularly installing things that in turn install hundreds of packages from the internet, any one of which could have been compromised. I also use Emacs which is almost an operating system and I similarly use a bunch of tools that could likewise have malware inserted. So I spent some time setting up a containerised dev environment that had limited access to my host system and home folder but could still access specific ssh keys and passwords for specific tasks as necessary from the host. Fuck me, it was painful getting everything to work seamlessly but it really made you think about what had access to what and what damage could easily be done. And even with all that I’m still not 100% safe.

Here’s a chance for Hog and/or Gators to help me out!
We manage a number of systems on a governmental network and gradually they are seeking to manage everything for “security reasons.”
There are three problems with their approach:
- We lose revenue when we turn over management to them.
- We have 4-hour response times whereas they are lucky to repair outages in a week or a month.
- The end users are dissatisfied with internal support as it truly sucks.
The users and our Contract Manager will go to bat for us, but here is where I can use some help.
They use Trellix and Ivanti to manage Windows systems, but they are helpless when it comes to Unix or Linux.
We are going to develop “anything but Windows” solutions in the future but this takes time.
Probably a question for Hog . . .
If we want to run native Windows 10 or Windows 11 systems in a Linux environment, what do you feel is the best way to begin testing.
This is a dark site, so no cloud solutions will be entertained, of course.
Virtual Assistant suggested:
Running Windows Applications on Linux
You can run native Windows applications on a Linux system using several methods. Each method has its own advantages and limitations.
Wine is mentioned .
Virtualization using VirtualBox or VMWare were suggested.
We are somewhat familiar with VMWare, but have no experience with Linux.
It’s high time we learned.
Ideas?

Gators consulting would be happy to help for a low low six figure fee. Our offshore employee earning a low low $1 wages is an expert in Linux stuff.

Big AWS outage today. Didn’t affect my group fortunately, but the number of companies that had outages showed how few are using multiregion strategies to ensure uptime. Also I might have mentioned this before, but I live like 5 miles from US-EAST-1 and got a ping of like 3 on a game hosted there. Not today obviously.
