I made another little controller for @mixxx. This one lights up the LEDs on my Obinskit Anne Pro 2 computer keyboard to match their actions in the Mixxx UI. Ie. the play/pause buttons ('d' and 'l') light up in the track color when their decks are playing, hot cues reflect whatever color are set in Mixxx, and the crossfader ('g' and 'h') set their illumination based on how much of each channel is in the mix. There's a demo of it here:

In 1894, A French Writer Predicted the End of Books & the Rise of Portable Audiobooks and Podcasts
The end of the nineteenth century is still widely referred to as the fin de siècle, a French term that evokes great, looming cultural, social, and technological changes.Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)
Here's what Danielle Smith has said (and done) ahead of Trump's inauguration
To woo Trump, Danielle Smith went to Florida. The province also opened a contest for U.S. hunters for a 'special' hunting licence — because if you pay enough, it’s always open season in AlbertaDrew Anderson (The Narwhal)

No, Trump didn’t make $50 billion from his memecoin
Journalists’ flawed math and ignorance of crypto markets turn tokens into fake fortunesMolly White (Citation Needed)
This is not to downplay the extent to which Trump is grifting his devotees and crypto traders looking to make a buck on memecoin speculation. But it is important that we accurately report on his cons and don’t contribute to misleading crypto hype for the sake of large numbers.
To understand crypto “valuations”, take the example of MollyCoin. If I conjure a billion MOLLY tokens out of thin air and sell one for $1, I’ve just created a “billion dollar” cryptocurrency.
We Don't Need More Cynics. We Need More Builders.
Cynicism is the cheap seats. It’s the fast food of intellectual positions. Anyone can point at something and say it’s broken, corrupt, or destined to fail. The real challenge? Building something better.Joan Westenberg (westenberg.)
Chvilku mi to trvalo, ale dosel jsem k zaveru, ze s clankem striktne nesouhlasim. Cynismus ma svoje misto a nedaval bych rovnitko mezi cynik = debil, ac mnoho cynickych postoju je v zasade jenom fakticka manifestace debila.
Zadany stav v clanku me prijde mnohem nebezpecnejsi. Defensivni pozitivne-skepticke postoje se rychle zvrhnou v sanewashing. Viz treba media ve vztahu k Trumpovi a jeho kampani (vs cynicke postoje proti-trumpovskych republikanu).
Weird tech mystery of the day.
I am running a Bookwyrm instance, which receives a post request to /inbox about twice a minute, from mastodon.sdf.org. The user it is posted as no longer exists, and every time this happens, SDF returns a 404, which is then logged here. Any idea what is going on? The two IP addresses the requests come from belong to mastodon.sdf.org, so I am assuming they are not forged.

Head up, #maker #3DPrinter fans. The just-announced BambuLab lockdown on our printers is on it way - but you can still enroll your printer (with the usual caveats) to run rootable firmware.

Buuuuuuut,
You can still go through the opt-out procedure (or just not upgrade your printer)

Merry Christmas, goats!
Every year, an acquaintance texts us sometime in January and asks if we want their Christmas tree for the goats. The goats love the little change in diet so much that they even came out (briefly) in the -40 windchill to sample, before going back to snuggle in the straw in the barn.
