@seanwbruno And, of course, it still works
@seanwbruno Their knowledge is lost, but their monuments still stand.
I've got a hammond organ. It looks like a spaceship from the 70s if you open the rear.
@seanwbruno What is going on there? The rectifier soldered directly on the transformer? Ok, but the fuses between the taps? I'm not an engineer but it looks like bad manners..
@pfxel Ok. I really am confused. I mostly git clone from a github project, then i follow build instructions.. Easy target :(
Now, after some thinking i know what i want to say publicly: The feeling embarassment is maybe going trough the whole community. Arch got popular, and using it made me feel smarter than i am. Best we can do now is to donate.
@pfxel To compile a thing, i am executing a Makefile that is full of CLI commands, and it would be easy to drop a line there, no? My two cents are: People like me should never install anything that's not in the official repo. Or join this conversation publicly, i am embarassing :)
@pfxel I really know nothing and feel like an easy target. I guess malware that gets compiled by a C-compiler is harder to write than a java-script thing
@pfxel I also don't understand security-wise. I had to compile a driver for a rme sound-card. Philippe Beakaert, a computing professor wrote it. Sadly, he died 2 years ago, and others did fork his project on github to maintain it. Couldn't those people also put malware in the source code? Is source code safer, because it would be more work to maintain, just to inject malware? I am sure there has to be lots of malware on github..
@fluidlogic Thanks! I think i don't need more😁 getting zapped to death is not worth it, i agree.
@fluidlogic I'm collecting those. You could tilt the yoke to align the geometry. I've never done this, but You'll get a sharper image. Without touching the flyback transformer of course. But i guess You know.
@fluidlogic I have never seen hexagonal subpixels on a crt. This is a nice little tv
