with mark "kermit" zuckerbird leading the charge, data, data, let us own all your data. the phones have us used to storing everything we've ever done in "the cloud" -- "so why not our proper computers too," some greedy beancounters say apple already owns your data. windows 11 essentially exists because there's a needed revamp if microsoft is to totally pwn your shit all the way up and down the hardware stack. otherwise, heaven forbid, you may not use Microsoft OneCloud with your Microsoft Account to store your Microsoft Office... etc meanwhile: My music PC, only windows computer in the house, got slow and laggy after windows update ran. Disabling some of their like "verify with Microsoft Store" crap fixed it, but until then I worried the SSD was on its last legs. So, hell, let's back it up ...and I just cannot get windows to send shit to linux. Trying to just copy/paste it over SMB; windows literally just ignores me. Then robocopy is having issues talking to the samba share. Now it is going, finally, slow as molasses, over SCP, except when dodgy windows paths blow it up trying to clear out my phone, same exact nonsense: the terminal app with rsync uninstalled itself. bluetooth is slow as shit. and it's like you used to be able to just fucking plug a phone into a USB port and copy the files why the fuck can i not just do that still and the answer is, because i might not store my stuff in Google Drive then. shitfuckers |

i found this charming article ~ ...and it's like 1) ok, i am not nuts, i am not alone, this guy going through exactly the same shit and even saved me a few steps 2) he actually writes like i do; i should see who this guy is |

oh, hell, on the ~yolo~ tip -- i use this computer for A) reaper/recording B) winamp/listening C) light web browsing in up-to-date firefox with settings clamped down; everything cleared on exit. adblock plus and noscript ...am i nuts to turn of ASLR? because i just did simply to try, and things feel so much more silky. i might leave it. but i should probably go over to the router -- the one i bought myself -- and lock it out of the rest of the network my point? oh, right this: get your data out of your devices while you can, in general. because eventually it'll be stuck in there and you'll be paying to access it every time |

i cleared a notification nagging me about the bullshit i shut off. i click [x] very carefully, aiming to not actually trigger it to "fix" it. it does it anyways. it turns all. the. crap. back. on. and i suspect there's nothing i can do but leave that notification there forever, because even looking at it for too long... that i did not use windows from, oh... 2013-17. it made music-ing very tough; that's partly why i just used milky. then work made me use windows. then they gave me a new laptop and "oh just keep the old one." and so, cool, music computer. that, by this time, i was like -- windows 10 is the usual nonsense, but it's actually pretty alright -- and, yes, now they'll shadualy grit it up to encourage me to "upgrade" but i use reaper now; that runs on linux. i've been very very careful to avoid any direct dependency on windows. what kills me is that the fucking arturia shit is win/mac only, and you cannot change certain settings on the keystep pro / beatstep pro without plugging it into the computer, and downloading their fucking like... it's kind of like downloading steam, or origin, or epic store or whatever, it's a whole platform for you to buy licenses to their million shits and fuck off i just want to change what the drum pads are assholes and it's like, here is the same walled-garden nonsense, except it's taken over plugins and some of the features of my "hardware" |

anyways i think i could just throw the windows laptop in a drawer for whenever i need to deal with arturia, leave it off 350 days a year. it should last for a while. then just build a new setup on linux, which will be pretty much the same as my old setup, because i don't even use anything aside from the default reaper plugs. |

"cloud-delivered protection" fuck the fuck off. i actually suspect the reason windows began lagging -- like, literally cursor lagging; haven't seen that in a good many years -- is because DNS is through a piHole on which i have blacklisted a large number of internal microsoft domains used for gathering statistics and blasting ads, obviously blocked all of bing, etc so now it's hammering something it can't touch because some of its other tentacles can touch the open internet, and it's confused, like: THIS SHOULD WORK and it's just going at it like a woodpecker and killing the computer no joke, i am 90% sure |

so, bummer again, for some reason windows hides the "ApplicationData" in WinSCP. i'm just copying crap. and what's in here oh arturia has a folder. ohhhh look { "id": 561, "name": "Drum Map", "paramId": 65, "globalParamId": 39, "type": "LIST", "list": [{ "str": "Custom", "val": 0 }, { "str": "Spark", "val": 1 }, { "str": "General MIDI", "val": 2 }, { "str": "Chromatic", "val": 3 }], "defaultValue": 3 }, at least all this web 4.20 crap all easily mashable jason |

I misread globalparamid as global pyramid at a quick glance, they are putting illuminati in our synths! |

global param ID. that's about as bland and normal as naming a dog rover but JSON -- I deliberately mash up "Jason" and "Jay-Sahn" when I say it aloud since no one seems to be able to make up their minds how to pronounce it. So I kind of live it ambiguous in between saying it aloud but yes, this shit, i'd advise a look. like: reverb.com has these graphs of the price history, but it won't give you the specific dollar amounts. but since it's graphing it, there data is clearly in there. and yes, they are receiving JSON data for the past history of price data over GraphQL and then rendering the graph in your browser. so then i wrote a script to download the entire JSON price history for the thing instead. useful. |

so i am combing through this fucking windows craptop -- a thinkpad; possibly now a stinkpad. and i'm looking through "processes" and i see shit like "google crash handler" or something and yeh i'll keep ASLR. that, like, that probably is entirely legit. that even though i have nothing google open; chrome closed, they've some background shit they'd get stomped for on linux. but maybe not; i should check there too |

so i finally bothered after storage filled up again. turns out mtp-tools actually work like a charm, once i figured out that... only once you plug the phone in does a hidden menu show up in settings that lets you select "file transfer" and alright at least i got the worthless photos and videos off of it. cool, now, the real point: i can delete them. i do my phone does not show any space being freed up. i reboot it, and, oh, another gig or two shows up. fucker. i find the .recyclebin something or other in some folder in the thing's file manager and delete it. i'm up to five gigs. i'm still missing another, like fifteen. fucker i figure "maybe it'll autoclean" an hours later, still just five gigs. so i plug it back into the computer and just go full unix on it; du -cmd1 | sort -ns and i find the fucking photo gallery app has its own dedicated recycling bin that is just sitting on thirteen gigs of stuff i'd "recently deleted" and -- this got me banned from twitter, but it won't get me banned from here -- i hope whoever made that design decision in that gallery app dies in a fire. slowly. |
