Windows 12 May Require a Subscription

I'm probably going to get flammed for this, so let me just say I'm already a Linux user.

We need to cool our jets here. Windows 12 isn't even confirmed yet, and there's no proof that it will require a subscription. That being said, a subscription service isn't necessarily a bad thing if it will allow users to have access to features they need, or replace other existing subscription services like xbox game pass, cloud storage, media, etc...

I feel like Debian people are the ones who wear fedoras, and the ones who use Fedora wear golf attire.

Then you got Arch people like me (black jeans and hoody) who need to ham it into every conversation that I use Arch.

Still a traitor, grifter and pedophile

I won't shed any tears for Trump if and when he bites the dust, but it would've been far worse if the assassination was successful. It's not like the far right and Project 2025 would just disappear with Trump, not to mention guys like JD Vance are quite capable of taking his place and with less baggage.

Streaming services like netflix and prime helped reduce piracy to all time lows. But then corps started getting stupid again and making their own exclusive streaming services, requiring you to have 20 subscriptions just get all the same shit you had with 2. Now drm enforcement on top of that and piracy is back on the rise...

Is there any reason I cant just run the realtime kernel?

Correct me I'm wrong, but i think in practical sense of real time kernels is that you could have a program take over much of the processing power, limiting your ability to multi task. I believe this raises security and stability concerns for every day use, but is fine for Audio.

Keep in mind you can have multiple kernels installed and just choose which one to boot into. This way you can save the rt kernel for your audio stuff and then switch back into the normal kernel when you're done.

As an anecdote, I use the Scarlet with Guitarix and dont notice any difference between the RT and normal kernel myself. Both have had little latency for me and the RT Kernel seemed stable enough. It's possible you may have something running the background that's holding you up in the normal kernel. Read the Arch Wiki article on performance enhancements for Audio https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Professional_audio

A cheap practice amp, gutted, then plugged into a 12 inch Jensen Speaker sounds excellent. I seriously feel a bit cheated paying $500 for a 'nicer' amp.

As far as the cab goes, I'm going to round out the corners and either trim them with metal, hardwood, plastic, or if it looks okay enough, i might just leave the plywood bare. I did stain the rest of the outside with tung oil though I didn't show that in picture. The front will be covered with cloth to keep cats and kids off the speaker cone.

The amp itself will probably be left bare.

Theoretically yes, that would be an sql injection. SQL Injection is preventable through good practice, but with added complexity of the application comes more chances for things to be missed.

In some ways, it's good that lemmy is going through this now and getting vulnerabilities exposed sooner than later.
