But this would mean the epoch here would be the 2 April 1984 or maybe the 1st, if you respect the time as well, which sounds a tiny bit random lol. But so would be to use a week counter in the first place :D Especially since those trains are from the early 2000s.
How did you get to that epoch? I haven't seen any images of this happening earlier than 2003, so the overflow must have happened late last year or early this year, and whatever week 0 is is some time around 2002/2003. That would also fit with your comment that they were introduced in the early 2000s.
Maybe they just didn't expect the trains to last 20 years 😄
It could be that the epoch is the start of 2003, so any train with a reset week counter shows 2003, and now they all do since the counter has overflowed late last year.
The fact that they use a week counter in general is something I remember from someone familiar with the onboard computer system, but I don't remember how it's set up specifically unfortunately.
For somebody wanting to get started with making digital music is it best to stick to flstudio or Ableton or are there beginner friendly yet fully featured DAWs for linux?
I don’t think there’s a clear best here. If you find using wine easier than learning new music software, then sticking with what you know is best. If you’re flexible about your process, there are a lot of amazing free tools and you’ll probably have a more seamless time developing a workflow around them.
Personally I think learning different software is a great way to build a more flexible understanding of the fundamentals of music production, but everyone has different needs so I don’t think there’s a one size fits all approach.
Ardour recently go a lot of Ableton style features in version 7. Zrhythm looks pretty solid. Reaper isn’t foss, but is run by a small & trustworthy team and is my main DAW, though I’m exploring less daw heavy workflows recently. VCV Rack is an incredible piece of software that has thousands of modules and is like having an entire warehouse full of modular synth gear but digitally. Cardinal is a fully self contained version of VCV Rack that works as a plugin and has ~1000 open source modules built in. Bitwig isn’t foss, but borrows heavily from the Ableton paradigm, has their own twist, and has always natively supported linux. Tracktion Waveform isn’t foss but looks pretty cool, depending on what suits your workflow.
There’s so much bindweed and ivy coming from the neighbour’s gardens choking everything, and it’s just about as much as I can manage just to keep that under control so it’s a bit of a mess atm.
However I’ve kept a little patch in the middle of the garden unmowed (for the bees) and that’s got all sorts growing in it now and looks pretty nice.
This is my mum’s, she’s elderly and disabled, and this has just got completely overgrown and wild over the years. We need to get it sorted so she can sell up and move on to somewhere that meets her needs, but for now although it’s a headache thinking about how we get this cleared, it’s a bit of a wildlife haven. The local foxes have made their home here and I often wake up to the sight of three young fixes curled up asleep together in a hollow they’ve made in the long grass outside the window of the room I sleep in. I’ll be very sad if whoever buys this doesn’t like foxes.
It’s twice as big as you can see in the picture, it’s divided by a very wonky fence and trellis that is probably now held up by the brambles that have grown over. Haven’t even been down to look at the bottom half this year, I don’t know if it’s possible to get through now. It was a brilliant garden to grow up in, we had a swing, space to run around in, trees to climb, LOADS of places to make dens. When I was 7 I started digging a hole to make a secret underground den for me and my friends. Got about 5 cm down and decided it was going to be too much work… Story of my life really!
