More often written as 200,000 IU as 5000mg of D3 is not written as 5,000,000mcg
The author simply (and terrible mistaking) typed [mg] instead of [UI] in the first paragraph: if readed entirely, the author correct this typo in every other sentence
Still it needs proof reading and definitely a BIG WARNING that anyone who reads the article should first talk with their doctor before trying any "recommendations". Some of these "recommendations" could literally kill someone.
I bought the once weekly 50,000IU bottle on Amazon and am currently taking 4 a day and I am ignoring all growing signs of vitamin D toxicity because I read this guys blog and never once ever decided to consult another source, including later paragraphs in that same blog because there was no warning. Without a warning, you should blindly follow all medical advice you read online.
That is that pathway to death you are worried about?
I was going to say, wouldn't following through on this mistake require you to not just spend a ton of money on pills but also take tons of them a day? I'd like to think this would give even the dumbest of people pause just because of the practicality aspect.
So, basically a disrespect of company culture from the new management? Had that too in another company I've worked for and this was part of the reasons why it went downhill. Employees are not willing to do innovation anymore and for whom?
First, you need to try to develop a serious GAS or PAS, after a while you'll get into a flow of trying things out. But be careful, this does not work, if you try to do actual music.
I have a RME _PCIe_ Raydat card that is supported by Linux. It has 4+4 ADAT ports, meaning 32in+32out channels. You can connect basically every interface that has ADAT to it. I've connected two Ferrofish Pulse8 AE, a Focusrite Scarlett and a Motu Traveler. :-)
If your UA Apollo has ADAT, you still can use it this way!
Of course it hasn't to be a RME Raydat, any other Linux supported interface with ADAT does it too, f.ex. a Scarlett. You could get a cheap Scarlett and connect your Apollo to it. Hahaha. Seriously, this would work.
That's awesome. I have ADAT converters as well, but the Apollo itself does not operate as standalone, and unfortunately has very proprietary Thunderbolt drivers. I'm pretty sure we will never see Linux support for Apollo thunderbolt interfaces. I would definitely go RME for Linux.
Yes, with yabridge, it works very well for example with all the Valhalla Reverb plugins. But then there are others like FabFilter, they do not work so well. But luckily there are now native Linux FabFilter alternatives, like ToneBoosters EQ Pro, Tal EQ, ZL EQ, ...
They _all_ offer Dynamic EQ, all the phase modes (linear, minimal and derivatives), freq matching, collision detection, side chaining, etc...
Absolutely comparable imho. And cheaper. ZL Equalizer even is open source!
I'll put TB Barricade against Pro-L 2 and TB Reverb against Pro-R for sure. I mostly use other stuff for EQ and compression, but those two are really very similar to the FB offerings.
NI recently filed for bankruptcy! This means that the licence server will probably be shut down at some point. Take the opportunity now. :-P
I've been using Bitwig for two years now. And already produced a complete album with success. Next album is already following. :-)
Many of Bitwig's own plugins are very good, and there are now top-notch native VSTs for Linux! Alternatively, there is yabridge for running Win VSTs.
Great Linux VST manufacturers:
U-he, DDMF, Toneboosters, TAL, Bluelabs, etc.
If the license server goes down I'll just pirate them, I guess. The point is that I can't really throw aways years of investment because Windows sucks. The other important lesson is: if they have a licensing server, it's OK to pirate them from the start.
Linux since 1996! In chronological order: Slackware, SuSE, DLD, LSF, Gentoo, Ubuntu (starting with 04.10!), eventually Debian 12, now 13.
Back in the days I compiled the kernel myself! :-D
Sure, occasionally I used Windows 3.11, 95, 98se, XP, Vista, 7 and 10, but never as my main system.
I am a software developer, but also do gaming, video production and audio producing. I never got the discussion, Linux works for me for almost 30 years now.
One day, I applied for a new job and was already on the company tour. When they told me that I could only use a Windows computer provided by them, I quickly said, ‘No, thank you,’ and left. The faces they made were truly priceless.
Another day, I applied for another job again and, after some hesitation, unfortunately said yes when they tried to foist a Windows computer on me, because the actual project was really cool. That was the worst year of my career, thanks to restricted Windows 10.
Out of curiosity, back when you were compiling the kernel yourself was it because you wanted to learn it or because you wanted to add more modules to the kernel that didnt exist there by default?
The kernel compilation had a configuration UI where you could select all the drivers you wanted to literally build in. So I selected just what I needed, to save memory, recompiled, waited an hour et voila. Kernel modules came later.
Memory and storage were far more expensive and limited in 1996 than they are today.
Go a few years earlier and you find that Microsoft introduced a boot-time menuconfig system mostly to enable people to select which *drivers* to load because, if you weren't careful, you could wind up leaving too little memory for the game you were trying to run.
That makes sense! I was a kid in the early 90s so I enjoyed "default" Win95/98 without having to have needed to do any sort of fiddling. I was too young to have used earlier versions of that outside of once or twice.
