Any suggestion for a (reasonably) good and cheap one for new designs?

To me it sounds extremely unlikely a car with such heavy modifications would be allowed on swedish (or finnish) public roads.

Very cool project though!

I must be checking the wrong forums. Never seen it.

Ben Heck has done quite a few that might fit

Indeed. The local bus transit has a digital ticket system with QR codes for tickets. I haven't actually tried decoding the codes but just seeing them and interacting with them I can tell they have gone WAY overboard with either the amount of data they try to fit or the amount of error correction. Probably both. They are nearly unscannable due to their size and all the bus drivers just wave you along if you don't manage to scan it.

The second one is being completed (as far as I understand) by a team in germany at a music machine museum (Musikkabinett). Their channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Musikkabinett

True that. We are just incredibly spoiled on that part of freedom.

As I wasn't in the know (though I can guess), I did some googling as to why and found this old thread:

And also incredibly small.

Turbo Pascal 2.0 had an IDE with compiler and debugger in a binary less than 60kb (if the info I found googling is true). Of course nowhere near the capabilities of modern environments but state of the art at the time.

Been working with it for the last year or so and the looks are alright but I just completely loathe the way tkinter is designed... it just feels so old.

What exactly are you getting at? It is not original (but does not claim so either), the source seems to be here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/02/opinion/ai-sam-altman-ope...

As I was already familiar with Helm it didn't strike me that it is not easy to figure out what it is from that home page.

It is a software based synthesiser mostly used as a plugin into a music creation application, usually called DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

There are tons of these, not as many that are open source.

Although this seems the likely reason I prefer to think the previous comment is right. Jane has been reanimated and is in cahoots (was it?) with the HN management!

For instance Lenovo Thinkcentre. Checked now on ebay and there were several under 50 Euro.

I gather all the manufacturers have similar offerings that are available dirt cheap on the used market.

It has always been OK to restrict distribution of source to your customers.

From the GPL: "For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received."

The operative word being recipients.

Redhat may be the devil incarnate now that they apparently are a part of IBM... Though as far as this distribution change I don't see the problem.

I guess I wasn't very clear.

It was issues with Pulse I wanted to know more about. Low latency is obviously not it's forté, otherwise it just works, for me that is.

Not to defend Pulse too hard but I use Linux every day and am specifically interested in audio and outside low latency work (where I use jack), Pulse has rarely been a problem since many many years. What exactly are the issues people experience?
