Today I built a fiddly academic physics/ML package in a Podman container and just exfiltrated the results of interest using `podman exec` and `podman cp`. It was... quite a nice workflow?
Feeling vaguely stupid for all the pain I went through previously with volume mounts and permissions 🙃
So far: polished frets, clean/oil fretboard, restring with Beefy Slinky (i.e. .011" set), tune to C-standard, play with saddle height and truss rod.
It looks like the fret buzz goes away with a slightly higher action and more relief (neck curvature). Previously the neck was almost straight.
I think the limiting factor now is some high/low frets, and wear in lower frets. It may be possible to improve things with a fret level, but that involves buying tools and taking risks!
Realised I haven't been playing my first guitar much lately, due to a) weight [thinline is so comfortable!] b) fret buzz and intonation woes.
Let's try and rehab it as a doom machine. That would ultimately mean new pickups but it's a waste of money if the thing isn't playable first.
Oh my, this stirs up some feelings! Nostalgia^2

Here are a few things I find interesting in #Python 3.11 (aside from the improved speed)
1. FINALLY, the Self type
from typing import Self
class Cat:
def demand_food(self) -> Self:
print("Meeooow")
return self
2. TOML parsing
import tomllib
with open("config.toml", mode="rb") as f:
config = tomllib.load(f)
Have been thinking for a while about some CMOS-based counting/logic modules for my #eurorack #diy #synth ; need to present high impedance to +/-12V continuous input and feed high-impedance 0-5V logic. After a lot of permutations, I think this design will be cheap, compact and power-efficient? The goofy part is that the comparator runs off the -12V and +5V rails!
