#s2 — Public Fediverse posts

A plan is underway to build an artificial intelligence data center in Akita Prefecture that could become Japan's largest. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/08/17/companies/akita-data-center/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #ai #datacenters #akita #renewables #wind #s2 #bitgrit

S 2: Die Züge der Linie #S2 verkehren in Richtung #Dortmund- #Dorstfeld auf dem Regelweg und ohne Einschränkungen. In Richtung #Essen Hbf/Recklinghausen Hbf kommt es weiterhin zu Verspätungen und Teilausfällen.
RB 32: Die Regionalbahnen aus Richtung #Oberhausen Hbf enden und beginnen in Herne. Die Folge sind Teilausfälle zwischen Herne und Dortmund Hbf.
Ein Ersatzverkehr (SEV) mit vier Bussen der Firma Haniqi zwischen Wanne-Eickel Hbf und #Dortmund- #Mengede ist eingerichtet.

Kyrilliikkaa äidinkielessään käyttävillä ei aina pysy muistissa, millainen on latinalainen r, vaikka samassa sanassa olisi p:itäkin. Tänään yksi opiskelija kirjoitti panevansa puhelimen peppuun. Sille sitten lempeästi hekottelimme. #s2 #opejuttuja

Jatkan #paikallissija-asiaa omalla seinällä, jottei aiheesta (tietämättään) alustanut @sannahirvonen saa seinäänsä sotkuun…

Tuli #S2-opejen kanssa puheeksi:

– Minulle matot ovat ilman muuta *lattiassa*, eivät ”lattialla”, koska ne kuuluvat sinne. Jokin paperinpala sen sijaan voi olla *lattialla*.

– Toisaalta katossa/katolla on kuin suomen ceiling vs. roof: Lamppu on *katossa*, mutta joku nokikolari voi kömpiä *katolla*. #murteet #kielenkäyttö #kielijuttuja

Auf der Linie #S2 kommt es zu Einschränkungen. Die Beeinträchtigung dauert voraussichtlich bis 15.07.2026 19:13 Uhr. Der Grund dafür ist ein kurzfristiger Personalausfall.
Es kommt zu Ausfällen auf dem gesamten Laufweg.
Folgende Fahrten sind betroffen:
Dortmund Hbf (15:18) - #Essen Hbf (16:07)
Dortmund Hbf (17:48) - #Recklinghausen Hbf (18:26)
Essen Hbf (16:53) - #Dortmund Hbf (17:43)
Recklinghausen Hbf (18:33) - Dortmund Hbf (19:13)

I found this little converter utility from the old #Cakewalk .wrk files to standard MIDI files .mid. I could retrieve my compositions dating back from 1996-1998 and import them in Logic Pro 😍 I still have the MIDI rig I had a the time (#Proteus/2 and #GEM #S2), so I only have to tweak some details to get results that are quite similar to what I listened back then. Kudos to the author of this little open source gem, that worked flawlessly for me: https://wrk2mid.sourceforge.io

I brought the #GEM #S2 to an birthday party of a dear friend and there were many other musicians and instruments. It was a very pleasing afternoon and we jammed together for a few hours. The S2 worked flawlessly 😍

Iski taas opiskelijan tekstissä vastaani #S2-open yksi lempivirheistä:

”Kaupungilla nain monta ihmistä.”

Joskus niillä ään pilkuilla on aika isosti väliä. Nätti opiskelijaneito voisi herättää tarpeetonta huomiota ilman. #suomenkieli #opettaminen #kielivirheet

Of course no project would be complete without a little bodge. I made a small mistake in the Ramdisk circuit. Not a big deal, but I had to add a bodge resistor 😅 I also put the NiMh battery pack in a safe place #Turbokit #Gem #S2 #elecronics #synth

The most prominent instrument in the piece is of course the #Crumar #BIT99, the drum machine is the #Arturia Drumbrute Impact. There is a sound effect from the #GEM #S2 and a note from an #Emu #Proteus/2 (quite a famous one, by the way).

With all the AI slop and advertisements that fill everything, we often forget how wonderful Internet still is. I could easily get in touch with one of the original developers of the #GEM #S2 #synthesizer, to which I sent my blog post about the #Turbokit replica. He kindly replied and seemed happy to learn that someone was still interested in a 30 year old instrument!

I finished proofreading the blog post on my webpage: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=elettronica/gem_s2/gem_s2.inc I hope you'll enjoy! #Turbokit #GEM #Generalmusic #S2 #S3 #electronics #diy #synthdiy

By the way, I managed to have the Ramdisk working reliably. Look at that whopping 2048KB free! #turbokit #GEM #S2 #Generalmusic

I wrote a (lengthy) article for my blog about the #GEM #S2 #Turbokit. I still have to proofread it, so it is still a little rough around the edges, but if you want to give a peek here it is: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=elettronica/gem_s2/gem_s2.inc #music #homepage #blog #generalmusic #electronics #DIYelectronics #diy #diysynth

This is amazing, I am so happy it works. It was my first 4-layer PCB I designed from scratch on #KiCad! #GEM #S2 #turbokit #replica

Big win! I installed the #Turbokit on the #GEM #S2 and after some fiddling IT WORKS! I waited this moment since 1996 🥰 The #PCB was correct and the components were perfect, but it took a while to fix all the bad solder joints. Gosh, those 0402x8 resistor networks are SMALL and it took a while to learn to solder them properly (hot air and flux are your friends). Now, I only have to install the NiMh battery in a safe way. #electronics #sinthdiy #diy #music #Generalmusic #S3

The #Turbokit replica for the #GEM #S2 is complete. I will check it again and then install it on my synthesiser. I hope it will work! It is a little heavy because of the EPROMs, so if the board works I will 3D print a support bracket. #electronics #synth
