I’m hoping to build a phasor-to-clock signal generator, which divides up a phasor into an arbitrary number of ticks. Using a global phasor as a global clock would allow for interesting polyrhythms, as well more flexible precision in sequencers. It’s also closer to how human-based conducting works. #halfbakedideas

the fe language by rxi would make for a great frontend for generating txtvm code maybe #halfbakedideas

This morning I had this really weird notion of building a generative podcast complete with musical interludes and asemic speech using a speech synthesizer. It’d be interesting to have “interviews” with two distinct vocal characters. #halfbakedideas

Ubuntu 20.04.1 on an Acer Aspire E5-511. Needed 5.4.0-42-generic. -48 killed it.

@!(sndkitref “bitnoise”)!@ is a 1-bit noise generator. #sndkit #NES #1bit

thinking about implementing some noise generators for !sndkit. A chaos noise generator that leverages numerical instabilities in IEEE floating point, and a 1-bit linear feedback shift register noise generator based on NES audio. #sndkit #halfbakedideas #dsp

It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].

Inline Janet means I should be able to make calls to functions defined in the config file. For example, the =ref= function is how I usually make wiki reference links. This @!(ref “wiki_index” “link right here”)!@ should take you to my automatically generated weewiki index of all the wiki pages.

I had some time while compiling and so I wrote a name generator https://codevoid.de/idgen

statically generated my twtxt feed here: https://pbat.ch/wiki/twtxt.html. learning how to be social on this thing comes next.

testing out auto-generation of twtxt wiki page now

@71m@timmorgan.org: why web when it is local? I use sxiv for local browsing and llgal to generate a static gallery from a directory: https://github.com/bgoglin/llgal. If you want something more CGI-ish, you could build it with a few lines of perl: https://metacpan.org/pod/CGI::Application::PhotoGallery

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net My take on this is… let’s let people ruin the web. Let centralized services control everything. But let us tech savvy people stick together and provide an alternative space for us. A space that’s welcoming to those that want to join and learn. Maybe people will come over when their online actions show real life consequences. There are statistics about decreasing social media use in Generation Z. Maybe they want to learn from us Internet-Dinosaurs :)

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org I could probably put something together, but I went this route originally because existing generators felt like they took too much control from me over the exact output. I want very small, static pages I can throw behind nginx, and I want to know exactly what the contents are. My current mess of spaghetti Racket is getting hairy since I’m halfway through an unfinished rewrite I started a while ago and forgot about, but at least I know exactly what it’s doing.

I’m trying to decide whether soldiering on with the messy codebase of my homegrown site generator is worth it or if I should redo my site in a more established tool.

@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org I actually just started a new job working on a frontend for Hugo (and other static site generators).

But how do i generate my public key from my private? And shouldn’t iI be worried that my private key can be seen with ps? Still confused.

@kas@enotty.dk That’s what i’m using. But shouldn’t i be able to generate keys to communicate with other users? How could i encrypt a message for you?

@kas@enotty.dk, @kdave@kdave.github.io I don’t get it. How do i generate keys for #saltpack? Do i need #keybase to use it?
