Weak Fey Genes. Fey blood in the remaining Avariel is thin. Fey Ancestry does not apply to you.

Suppressed Senses. Your wings require immense blood flow that takes away from your senses. Keen Senses does not apply to you.

Flight. Because of your wings, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can’t use this flying speed if you’re wearing medium or heavy armor.

Angelic Sorcery

You’re an Angel!

Your innate magic comes from the gift of a celestial. Perhaps you still serve them and are on a mission or for some reason they have released you from their service to fancy their whim.

Level 3: Angelic Resilience

The magic in your body manifests physical traits of your angelic gift. Your Hit Point maximum increases by 3, and it increases by 1 whenever you gain another Sorcerer level.

Parts of you are also covered by angel-like feathers. While you aren’t wearing armor, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Charisma modifiers.

Level 3: Angelic Spells

When you reach a Sorcerer level specified in the Angelic Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Level 6: Radiant Affinity

Your angelic magic has an affinity with radiant damage.

You have Resistance to that radiant damage, and when you cast a spell that deals radiant damage, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell.

Level 14: Angel Wings

As a Bonus Action, you can cause angelic wings to appear on your back. The wings last for 1 hour or until you dismiss them (no action required). For the duration, you have a Fly Speed of 60 feet.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you spend 3 Sorcery Points (no action required) to restore your use of it.

Level 18: Celestial Companion

You can cast Summon Celestial without a Material component. You can also cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a Long Rest.

Whenever you start casting the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn’t require Concentration. If you do so, the spell’s duration becomes 1 minute for that casting.

Fatar StudioLogic SL-880 Pro MIDIbox KB restoration

Intro

My SL-880’s electronics have slowly been dying since I got it used in 2011. At first you would have to turn it on and off a few times before it would work, after a few years this became a few dozen times, recently I couldn’t get it to work after 100 times and started looking for a replacement.

I settled on MIDIbox KB since I couldn’t really find a lot of details about the key bed on this model and MIDIbox KB offers a lot of options to work with diverse and weird setups. I didn’t like the modularity of the boards available for sale, so I decided to make my own.

Using MBHP_CORE_STM32F4 as my core I designed a 2-layer board that combined it with MBHP_DIO_MATRIX, MBHP_AINSER8, and half MBHP_MIDI_IO in Autodesk Fusion. I sent it to JLCPCB for FR4 fabrication.

Board

Note that the rest of the board images and files are a revision from what I had fabricated and has not been tested. Leave a comment if you want the original (the labeling of the AIN pins is wrong, and you need a custom build to use the 2nd AIN module). I’m not actually using 4 of the AIN and the MIDI so if I was to make another revision, I would take those off and squish the board down a little bit. I’d also add a place to put in pull-up or -down resistors on the AINs.

Parts

This is a bit chaotic, but hopefully it helps. I used IC sockets but they aren’t really necessary.

Cable attachment

The key cable ribbon from the left goes to the left and right to right.
I put the pitch wheel on the leftmost AIN pin my colors were

  • purple (goes to contact on both wheels) = 5v (closest to edge)
  • blue (goes to casing of both wheels) = ground (closest to center of board)
  • grey (goes just to pitch wheel) = signal (between 5v and ground)

The mod wheel (used for volume) I put next and shares the 5v and ground of the pitch wheel so only

  • green (goes just to mod wheel) = signal

The channel aftertouch I put next, the two signals have to be combined together, the pinout probably doesn’t matter as long as 5v goes to both ribbon cables and signal combined goes to both as well. Consider using a pull-down resistor.

  • white = 5v
  • yellow = 5v
  • blue + black = signal

Last, I bought a 6.35mm TS jack with pigtail for my sustain pedal; one wire goes to 5v the other goes to signal, doesn’t really matter which, but the tip should be 5v really. Consider using a pull-down resistor.

Case

I used some cable wrap for my AIN cables and made my 3D-printed case so that you can lift it off without undoing cables. Note the images are not the latest version.

Hamachi Linux Requires IPv6

If you disable IPv6 under Linux in the one of the following ways:
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
(Most likely what your GUI is doing if you disable IPv6)

and try to run Hamachi you will encounter these errors:
hamachid: tap: ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) IPv6 err, 13, Permission denied
avahi-daemon: IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP failed: No buffer space available
systemd-udevd: Could not generate persistent MAC address for ham0: No such file or directory

To resolve the issue re-enable IPv6 and disable it for all interfaces but ham0. The following should give you a list of commands to run that will do this:
sysctl -a | grep disable_ipv6 | grep -v -e all -e default -e ham0| cut -d . -f 4 | xargs -I{} echo 'echo "net.ipv6.conf.{}.disable_ipv6 = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf'

FileIntegrity/IntegrityStream on Non-mirrored ReFS Partitions After Format

If you want to take advantage of IntegrityStreams on non-mirrored partitions (which you can create on Windows 8.1 by creating the DWORD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MiniNT\AllowRefsFormatOverNonmirrorVolume and setting it to 1) and you forgot to use the /i enable option with format you can use Powershell to easily add the attribute both for new and existing files.

Set-FileIntegrity driveletter:\ -Enable $true
will set the partition so that new files are created with IntegrityStreams.

Get-ChildItem driveletter:\ -Force -Recurse | where-object { $_.Attributes -notlike “*IntegrityStream*” } | ForEach-Object {Set-FileIntegrity $_.FullName -Enable $True }
will enable IntegrityStreams on any directories and files that don’t have them enabled.

Windows 7 Cannot Time Sync

Date and Time: An error occurred: Your changes could not be saved.

If you have noticed your Windows 7 machine’s time being off then you should enable time syncing (right click on your time, click Adjust time/date, Internet Time, Change settings…, Synchronize with an Internet time server). However if you are running Windows 7 x64 (you can find out by going to Start, right click on Computer, Properties, and look for System type: 64-bit Operating System on the screen that pops up), this may fail or display “Date and Time: An error occurred: Your changes could not be saved.” if you try and change the time server (I like to use tick.usno.navy.mil).

Date and Time: An error occurred: Your changes could not be saved.

The solution may be a registry edit (thanks to Joonas Lehtolahti for finding it http://my.opera.com/godjonez/blog/2011/10/06/cant-synchronize-time-on-windows-7-or-save-the-sync-settings). Edit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cplfile\shell\cplopen\command\Default to read %SystemRoot%\system32\control.exe “%1”,%* instead of %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\control.exe “%1”,%*.

You can also use this registry file: https://dukrat.net/files/FixTime64.reg. Just download and run.

Server Moved and Improved

The 1E media server motherboard died about a few months ago. In order to fill the void and give the server a more permanent home, the two machines were merged. The Ubuntu/VMWare Server host has been retired. The system is now running Xen deployed on Debian. The server has two more GB of ram bringing the total up to 7GB. Furthermore, the data drive is on a software based RAID1 array with single redundancy (currently degragated due to a drive failed – apparently Seagate thinks 68m read errors is a SMART passing drive).
