mod-live-usb mention |
|
|
|
done on free time, even though related to work, might be useful for other projects later on |
|
|
|
- based on archiso |
|
|
|
- single qt tool running fullscreen. |
|
|
|
using linux framebuffer, no x11 or wayland |
|
|
|
- puts cpu in performance mode, has RT kernel, other common tweaks for audio |
|
|
|
- has options for picking soundcard |
|
|
|
- spawns a container matching MOD system, so libs, jack, plugins, everything matches |
|
|
|
- different tabs for ..., main thing in 1st tab. can open terminal with ctrl+alt+t |
|
|
|
- very barebones, intentionally. no internet. |
|
|
|
- not optimized in size yet, problem coming from archlinux |
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
now, into personal notes... |
|
|
|
- a little frustrated, perhaps disappointed, that pushing for donations doesnt work. |
|
|
|
number of subcriptions has been going down, not up. |
|
|
|
while I want to keep doing these things, being realistic, it is really not sustainable. |
|
|
|
all the free time is basically spent on this, but it does not pay off. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it seems that (opinion), in order to make it really pay off, a whole lot more effort would be needed. |
|
|
|
not just the coding, but more regular interaction with community, basically a whole lot of reporting and being present? |
|
|
|
or maybe is not feasible at all, this is all very very niche, so who knows. |
|
|
|
but it is clear that keeping this up is not possible, a lot of life stuff was ignored or put on hold (it was lockdown anyway, so not much of a problem). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so going forward, for the next 6 months (rest of the year), plan is: |
|
|
|
- no more new-feature developments, bugfixes only (the svg and vst3 support in dpf being the exception, I feel like they are essential) |
|
|
|
- will restrict time spent working on floss stuff to whatever is left from main job, no more weekends |
|
|
|
- when bugfixes get boring, try packaging, website updates or writting user manual |
