A story about never ever giving up...❤️🔥
After several weeks, questioning my life choices, I've finally figured out why my #Whisper #SpeechToText system had been so slow on #Windows:
It was because apparently the #Rust-FFI wrapped #CPlusPlus code (Whisper.cpp) didn't compile with AVX and AVX2 enabled ( #SIMD!). I've tried it on two Windows machines (both AVX-capable). On one of the machines, with #Linux, it has successfully detected AVX/AVX2, though and has run fast.

According to early reports, another AWS outage has struck the internet, with a huge rise in reports of problems across AWS-backed services, including Azure, Microsoft 365, Minecraft, Capital One, Xbox, and, of course, AWS itself.

Hmm... 🤔
My suspicion why it's "not working" is:
Even though I do `cargo run --release` I've seen, during my investigation of the above compiling-fail-nightmare, that it puts artifacts into `Debug` folder.
So it might be that the program (Whisper.cpp to be precise) runs as a debug build and is just _terribly_ slow. 🐌
Oh boy, the struggle continues... 🤸

Dear #macos and #windows #musician (s) and #musicproducer (s),
what #plugin #vendor (s) would you need natively on #linux in order to be able to consider moving your music production to #linuxaudio?
I have already asked the following vendors for support:
https://linuxaudio.dev/linux-support-request-tracking
I am interested to hear if, from your perspective, there are vendors missing on the list.
Thank you in advance for your help! 🙌

Ventoy:

From their website:
"Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly."
Thank you @Logical_Error for the recommendation.❤️
Windows 11, now with even more “AI” where you don’t want it
Microsoft has posted a blog post about detailing its latest round of additions to Windows 11, and as will surely not surprise you, it's "AI", all the time, whether you like it or not. I'm not even going to detail most of these "features", as I'm sure most of them will just become yet another series of checkboxes on

People say "fighting the borrow checker" and "getting #Rust to compile" were a pain.
Ok, but HAVE YOU ALREADY TRIED TO BUILD A C++ PROJECT ON WINDOWS!?
You'll probably die trying.
I've tried with VS tools and MSys tools:
- VS build tools: it compiled successfully (but only the previous version of the project, not the latest one), and the executable is 10x slower(!) than on Linux (config: Release)
- MSys: compile fail at 45%

Ok, I have to correct myself:
Compiling any C/C++ project on Windows is an absolute clusterfuck!
I've now almost spent more time trying to compile my program for Windows than writing the actual code for it - let that sink in!

"Instead of sending public money to distant corporations, funds stay local and support IT jobs for regional developers and entrepreneurs. The use of open-source #Linux distributions also extends the life of existing hardware and reduces e-waste, which proprietary models can exploit for unnecessary spending."
