7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Sunday, 20-Oct-2024 05:50:59 JST 7666 Quad9 appears to block Pomf. However, they block it due to a threat intelligence source called "Cluster25". It seems these guys used to be in business up until maybe a year ago and then scrubbed themselves off the internet. Only a different company, "Duskrise", now mentions them by name.
This is very interesting, so I will pursue the case and see what happened here. -

7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Friday, 18-Oct-2024 23:23:30 JST 7666 @adachi I still had to spend a shit ton of time setting up proton too, I have two SMTP gateways, something like 10 custom domains, 5 users, 25 addresses, automatic email tagging and rules, calendar integrations, and I just can't imagine that being pleasant getting that working myself and guaranteeing deliverability -

now add in 60TB of live data and 60TB of backups, 100+ allocated vCPUs, 300GB ish of RAM, and yeah we're there -
7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Wednesday, 16-Oct-2024 03:27:31 JST 7666 @mia for those who go "you can't be pushing 500TB a month you're so full of shit mr 7666" here's all five egress bandwidth carrying nodes it's closer to 600TB actually and well over 600TB if you add in inbound data -
7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Wednesday, 16-Oct-2024 01:59:27 JST 7666 I will always have a wonderful fascination with analog instruments, recording, synthesizers, etc.
I feel like back then, music that used only analog or very minor digital orchestration (which is all they had in the 80s - there was no MIDI) required real elbow grease to get to sounding like music. It gave it soul and passion along the way. Artists had to get very deep into technology and electronics to strike gold. Adversity breeds innovation after all.
Lots of "electronic" music these days sounds too pristine, too soulless, because you can just push a button on a computer and make a completely digital replica. I'm sure a lot of great music has been made this way, but it's *too easy*. You can just buy someone else's synth packs and get going, sort of like how you can just buy Unity assets and make a "game".
You'll never recreate the soul though. It's not based in the real world. I want music I can touch and feel, and a DAW can't really give me that. -
7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Wednesday, 16-Oct-2024 01:59:25 JST 7666 @ciel MIDI would have been mid to late 80s. I'm more talking about the pre-MIDI era which would have extended back to probably about '77 and maybe ended in '84/85.
I don't have anything against MIDI but I think it's probably the maximum (outside of recording tech, lo-fi is great and all but sound is always delivered digitally) that I'd feel comfortable accepting outside of some truly amazing historical computerized synths like a PPG Wave or Fairlight CMI. -

i think i hopped off the wagon at hare and gemini -
