To prepare ourselves, the organization provided us with everything we needed: the twelve tracks of the setlist complete with scores, tabs, video Read more
A few days ago I ran into a curious problem: Pi-hole running on Docker, inside my OpenMediaVault based NAS, kept throwing unexplained errors in the pihole-FTL log. Everything apparently worked, but lines like these appeared in the log: or again: After a bit of research and testing Read more
Anyone who works with music production on Linux knows this well: System stability and latency are critical. However, Setting up a Linux system “by hand” for studio performance can be a long and complex process. Millisecond was born precisely with this objective: make life easier for those Read more
