I’ve ran a 4 in, 4 out ADAT-CAT5 snake thingy on Linux, so 32 channels in and out. The remote end was synced via Word Clock with the Linux box providing master clock. RME RayDat for a soundcard, RME converters in the remote rack. Worked 100 % flawlessly, I even did live sound on it. ADAT is a ‘just works’ thing, go for it. You just need to understand that one device needs to be the clock master and others follow that.

One more for Inkscape - I’ve made antenna stencils that need millimeter accuracy with it. LibreOffice Draw is even easier and can do much of the same stuff.

Thank you all! Over 25 years on Linux and still new learnings to discover…

Thanks - this is what I did with a ‘you had one job’ look beaming at the terminal after realising the hidden files were missed and indeed it did the trick.

Thanks, that’ll come in handy!

I guess it’s worth mentioning that once (only once) I’ve seen ripgrep bring a whole LAMP stack production server to a full tilt. A dev using VSCode (which has rg as part of its ‘trojan horse’ vscode-server it installs and runs as root on any server it’s used to edit) did a search and ripgrep went into some kind of death loop hogging 100% of all cpu cores. Probably rare, but kind of shocked me. All our servers now babysit vscode-server with cgroups…

Also Reticulum Network Stack! Much more ambitious than Meshtastic.
