TIL `curl --show-error`. How many times have I wanted this 😞

`--show-error` is great, it will output any error on standard error, which is a crucial as it allows you to write code like:

```
version=$(curl --silent --show-error exampe.com/some.json | jq '.info.version')
```
If it succeeds, `jq` gets its input, but just as importantly, when it fails, the output isn't written into the `version` variable.

As always, read the *fine* manual at: curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-S

Dexed, a free and open source VST/CLAP emulation of Yamaha DX7 is accessible now. Been having heaps of retro fun here, it's easy to load and tweak sounds. There's a decent collection of cartridges that come bundled with it (each cart contains a fistful of sounds), other collections are easy to find.

Tip for REAPER users, once a cartridge is loaded, the sounds on it can be scrolled through using the Presets combo box in your FX window. The Dexed developer has made their browser window nice and accessible, so if you're hopping through carts best to stay in there, I've just noticed it's a few less keystrokes to change sounds within the same cartridge when I'm revisiting the FX window is all.

Get it here: github.com/asb2m10/dexed/

Loads of extra carts here:

Excessive Minimalism

Congrats, but it looks like if the sunlight from your ceiling windows hits it juuuust right, it could maybe ignite some papers laying around with that lens?

Probably not though.

But probability is a bitch.

Be safe.

EDIT: Aww, should've read the replies before commenting, it was already brought up, my bad.

«En un Estado de Derecho, las normas penales no tienen destinatario en función de qué colectivo hablemos, eso es derecho de excepción. Las normas penales son iguales para todo el mundo.

Impunidad es lo que ha pasado en Murcia, con los empresarios que han prostituido menores y se van a ir de rositas, y por cierto, el Partido Popular no ha dicho ni una palabra. Eso sí es impunidad».

My favorite USB-C cables are on sale today. They support up to 240w charging and are 10 feet long. 6 foot USB-C cables are always just a bit too short. Plus they have a built in cable tie. I just ordered a few more for my backpack and around the house.

This is an affiliate link so I get a little bit of a kickback.

Die öffentliche Mobilisierung gegen die Streichungsbeschlüsse im #ÖRR der Rundfunkkommissionen nimmt Fahrt auf. Angeblich haben alleine bei einer Kampagne auf Campact 200.000 Unterschriften.
Diese finde ich allerdings dubios. Die einzige Forderung an die MPs: "Sorgen Sie dafür, dass das breite Informationsangebot in Fernsehen und Radio erhalten bleibt!"
Zudem ist völlig unklar, bei wem man unterschreibt, wer der Organisator ist.

Etwas Hoffnung macht mir das Interview mit Natanael Liminski, Medienminister der Landesregierung NRW heute im Deutschlandfunk.
Er betont, dass es auch künftig eine Meinungspluralität im #ÖRR geben muss. Zudem betont er, dass es eine ausreichende Finanzierung geben muss. Falls er dabei bleibt, wäre viel gewonnen, auch wenn er oft im Ungefähren bleibt.

Liminski sagt im #DLF etwas ganz Entscheidendes über den Widerspruch der Öffentlichkeit gegen die Reformen: in dem offiziellen Verfahren sind schon mehr als 2000 individuelle Eingaben eingegangen. Das ist gewaltig.

Bis Freitag könnt ihr auch noch Eure Meinung formulieren. Das ist zwar aufwändiger, als eine Petition anzuklicken, aber dies wird (anders als eine Petition) auch wahrgenommen.

Whoops, git 2.47.0 just shipped with a significant bug in the `git maintenance` subcommand that causes it to segfault immediately, because of a gap in the test suite.

The git project is doing an excellent job of responding to this in an exemplary way: fixing the bug, amending the test suite, and directly questioning their dev practices to solicit insight into their own process blind spots. And they're doing it all in public.

Well done.

And by the way, git-maintenance is a relatively new git feature¹ (well, 2020-ish) that lets you set repo maintenance tasks to run on a schedule, such as running `git gc`, more aggressive object repacking, even prefetching of remotes that move quickly so that your morning `git fetch` is already primed to run nice and fast, with a minimal delta. It's simple, very useful, and worth using.

Since I only have about 40 followers, I would appreciate as many boosts as possible as it is hurricane related. The Iphone 14 and above has the capability to send messages via satellite. You have to install IOS18 then swipe down from top right to get the utilities screen. You can then do a demo by touching the satellite icon. Evidently it only works if you do not have cell data or wifi available.
