Update: This was written for TouchDesigner 2023, but TouchDesigner 2025 also can be made to cooperate. 2025 currently involves patching DLLs!
I will be using TouchDesigner for an upcoming course, but it’s only officially supported on Windows and MacOS. Can we run this on Linux? Let’s try it!

SONOS speakers seem to be decent hardware. So when a friend mentioned the IKEA branded, SONOS produced Symfonisk speakers, I had to take a look. At 130€ for a single speaker, they are not exactly cheap, but they are certainly a lot cheaper than anything SONOS would usually offer. The build quality is good, audio quality is supposedly good.

I recently bought a new NAS, after my old one turned ten. I am very satisfied with the reliability of my old QNAP which is still supported with software updates. This makes me a happy customer, and so I did not see any reason to switch brands. After initial setup (networking, firmware update, disabling most services) I did not get around to finishing its setup for a few days. It basically sat there from late May 2020 to early July 2020.
