Do you remember when any operating system just worked? Me neither, and I hate
it. I mean, Windows was always just a joke. Just think about it, Microsoft said
their git repository is 300GB in size. How do you compile, let alone read? One

Makefile can effectively replace Vagrant, so I created program called
Reggae: REGister Globaly Access Everywhere.
In short it consists of few scripts that (de …

I am proud owner of a home audio studio, but it has a big flaw: hardware is not
open source. You may think it's not a big deal, but once you want to alter
something, you realize you're stuck. Let me explain. My mixer is digital and
you control it …

The problem I was having was that I could record MIDI, but not send it to
hardware output. For impatient, just run chmod o+rw /dev/umidi*
. Yes, it was
that stupid and it took me few days to realize what's the problem, so let's go
