(#d3sbkoq) it adds users by finding them in feeds mentioning or following. Your URL is already added.

Hmm i am not sure how you got the URL with users at the end..

Iā€™m playing with ratterplatter again: Itā€™s a toy that watches disk I/O and emulates the noise of a real hard disk. (Linux only.) It uses sound samples from one of my older disks.

I tried a different approach at estimating the disk activity and I think I finally got it right (after almost 10 years ā€¦ šŸ¤¦).

Demo, booting a Windows 2000 VM: https://movq.de/v/1400544cc6/2kboot-ratterplatter-2.mp4

(For this purpose alone, I put a couple of mini speakers into my PC case, so that the noise comes from the right place: https://movq.de/v/a3b2dc0932/speakers.jpg)

The results arenā€™t too bad, but this thing canā€™t be super accurate due to the huge I/O caches that we have these days. For the video, I dropped the caches before booting Windows, otherwise you would have heard almost nothing.

FWIW, if you donā€™t know it yet, this is the equivalent for proper keyboard sound: https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring

(#cs6lodq) @andros@twtxt.andros.dev Thatā€™s a shame. But hereā€™s the thing about piracy. If I could download a PDF or MP3/OGG of a Book Iā€™d happily pay for this. If I could download an MP3/OGG of some Music I would pay for this. If I could download an MP4 of a Movie I would pay for this.

The reason piracy exists at all is economics and greed. If you make something affordable and convenient, thereā€™s no need to steal.

šŸ‘‹ Folks that use this pod, Iā€™ll be rolling out an experimental new caching backend to this pod shortly. Stay tuned. Please provide feedback either here via Twtxt or on IRC. Thanks! šŸ™
