2025 is coming to end and some people who claim not to be fascists are still associating themselves with fascist outlets like X.
I claim, perhaps charitably, that it's because they don't understand how the internet works. Either way, this needs to change.

taking a break from audio stuff to look at atproto.
i want to do a little "gatcha game" project where bsky users can grab/trade/upgrade cards to make sets. basically the fun parts of some of the Web3 scams but without any money.
if you know of any existing projects like this let me know

this is the best i can do for initializing my current egui rust app. i have to do `pre_new()`, then pass that to an async generation function and wait for it, then pass all that along to the actual `new()` function.

rust gods, egui legends, eframe heroes, i beseech you.
where is the documentation for `eframe::WebRunner::new().start()`?
i'm starting from egui eframe web template code. the third arg is some boxed closure thing, but i need it to be async. i can't for the life of me find docs here.

a fantastic read that goes into the problems with modern DJing, the 1 hour constraint, and rushing into the next track instead of allowing a mix to build, breathe, and take you on a journey.

cool ADC talk by @jamieanguswhiteoak.bsky.social
intellectually i knew that "real peaks" could be between samples. talk has lots of details and examples where it matters.
i learned that ITU BS.1770-4 has code to do 4x oversampling for loudness/peak detection.
