For example, I’ve been reading in depth about reverse engineering lately and improving my web h4ck1ng skills by playing CTFs. And every night before bed, I read philosophy to stay sane. I’m currently reading “Negative Dialectics” by Theodor W. Adorno.

What about you? ancom-heart

        What’s DBSM? I generally make weird techno with the synths I have, atm I’m mostly using software though because I can’t really find a cool way to plug in everything so that I can be creative as well. I kind of wish I had some one to help me organise and plan my space with me because I’m fucking terrible at doing that. I can DM you my SoundCloud if you want to hear some of it. It’s nothing special and I don’t really like advertising it.

        That website does look cool, but I don’t have money for equipment or components at the moment so I’m sticking to the theory for now. I only started a month ago and I’ve been out of school for a long time and I’m struggling with passing tests and the language barrier a little bit. Thanks for the website though I’ll definitely check it out.

        I need to do a final project in two years I’ll probably try make a synthesiser. I’d really like to make a groove box but let’s see how far I get through this school and if I have what it takes.

          DSBM stands for Depressive Suicidal Black Metal, here’s an example of a project called Decalius, by just one guy.

          Sure, DM me your SoundCloud. I’d like to hear it.

          I understand. Electronic components are usually cheap, but equipment is not. When I was a teenager and started learning electronics, I blew up a lot of components because I didn’t have equipment to measure current (I didn’t have the money to buy it either) and sometimes my calculations failed. But I always had fun.

          A groove box would be a really cool project. I hope everything goes well for you. meow-hug

            Thanks I’ve really been struggling a lot and I’ve been very depressed so I kind of didn’t do anything the first month so I failed my first test. It made me feel even worse but I kind of used it as a wake up call to actually try. I’m feeling better now and I’ve been able to start studying and I don’t feel as overwhelmed as I did. I’m not that young anymore and I think all the dumb shit I did for the last 16 years fucked up my brain a little bit, but I’m lucky that I have people supporting me. Thanks for the kind words.

            Edit: I’m Im not that into metal but I’ll check it out. I always like hearing new music

        Also a random thing that pisses me off about electronics, there are obviously three different notations for logic gates a British an American and a European.
