Can customize to tone down the resonant spike, and switch wah to a warmer freq range. Great taper in both wah and volume modes. Nice grippy surface, super solid build, lightweight. And does midi expression! Sleeper MVP pedal...

I just noticed Deque changed its logo from the combined ‘D’ and ‘Q’ letterform (visually representing the pronunciation) to the ‘AI’ anus (or “AInus”) of the big LLM purveyors.
I bet this was for Deque’s 100% WCAG ‘AI’ coverage, which must be getting released today to honor its March promise.

So, decided to make the `sisyphus-client` Docker image a multi-stage build because it was a really large image. Ended up taking it from 1.3GB to 708MB which isn't too shabby. Unfortunately, that's about as small as I'm gonna be able to get it with all of the encoding binaries/libraries that I have to install.
Still, pretty solid reduction in container size.

Experimental study of turbulent thermal diffusion of inertial particles in a convective turbulence forced by oscillating grids

https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22008 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22008 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22008
arXiv:2602.22008v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We investigate the phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion of inertial solid particles in laboratory experiments with convective turbulence forced by one or two oscillating grids in the air flow. Turbulent thermal diffusion causes a non-diffusive contribution to turbulent flux of particles described in terms of an effective pumping velocity directed opposite to the gradient of the mean fluid temperature. For inertial particles, this effective pumping velocity depends on the Stokes and Reynolds numbers. In the experiments, fluid velocity and spatial distribution of inertial particles are measured using Particle Image Velocimetry system, and the temperature field is measured in many locations by a temperature probe equipped with 12 thermocouples. Measurements of temperature and particle number density spatial distributions have demonstrated formation of large-scale clusters of inertial particles in the vicinity of the mean temperature minimum due to turbulent thermal diffusion. In the experiments, the effective pumping velocity resulting in formation of large-scale clusters of inertial particles (having the diameter $10 \mu m$) is in 2.5 times larger than that for non-inertial particles (having the diameter $0.7 \mu m$). This is in an agreement with the theoretical predictions.

I generally hate buying new computing devices and try to make them last as long as possible. I bought a used/refurb iPad 5th Gen in 2022 for $199 and got 2 years of solid use before I upgraded to a 6th Gen in 2024 (for $170) so I could use an Apple Pencil.
I then put the old 5th Gen on my trainer bike as a video player and it still works great.
But sadly, two years in the 6th Gen now has dead spots on the screen. I may need to replace it.

Sadly, my old off-brand, 32", 1080p, 60 Hz TV set slowly fritzed before my eyes after 9 years and 7 months of continuous service. Good game.
Even more depressing, for the last week of tedious browsing, I can't seem to settle on another dirt-cheap ~€300, non-32", non-Sony, non-Samsung, 4K, at-least-a-solid-60Hz TV set that I am confident would not die on me or would not run out of smart software support within the next three years.

Sometimes it is handy to use archives formats that do not confuse our windows friends. Or perhaps you want a quick listing, or to update files without reading and writing the entire thing (i.e. non-solid archives).
Zip or 7z can be handy. The problem is that with their Windows hertitage they do not (reliably) retain certain UNIX-y 'things'. Be that permissions or symlinks.
Here is an example symlink workaround. Permissions left as an exercise for the reader:

Very solid performance. Gomez really shored up the defending and Kerkez and Frimpong were both terrific.
Gravenberch got off to a rough start, but he really caught fire and was my MOTM. I don't know that he and Mac Allister have the greatest chemistry, but Marseille allowed them space as they fatigued.
If you were to be critical... too many promising moments lacking the right pass or quality. Not enough shots, only 3 of 11 on target.

Okay, the setup is solid now. SCART into the `gscart` switch which splits the output. One goes to the Sony PVM-2530, the other output goes to the RetroTINK 4K. I tried to get the colors to match somewhat on the CRT, but it's a fool's errand to be honest. However, once work is over it'll be time to progress more in FF6.

It’s still unclear to me whether that incident was •targeting• the high school or merely •next to• the high school. I’ve heard conflicting reports from neighbors on that.
