RE: hear-me.social/@Onj/1156902183…

I've done what I set out to do by the end of the year. I made it to 180 tracks in the collection. I stopped at 171 in May of 2023, then I just couldn't focus on much music for the last couple of years which, as a composer, really depressed me, but this December I decided to really try and sit down to make a go of it, so I did.
It may not seem like much, but not being able to write, when it's what I've done for 30 years felt very stifling and depressing in ways I cannot express.

My next goal is to hit 200, so I'll start work on that, hopefully soonest.

I just want to thank every person that favourited, reposted or interacted with me on my self-assigned journey recently. You're all wonderful humans, even those that said they had no use for such a project, which is totally fine. They still shared it most of the time, and I respect that.


Here's a collection of free-to-use short music for any kind of project imaginable. I've been working on this project for over 10 years on and off, and it's a labour of love.

Whether you're doing work for TV, Radio, Film, your next podcast, show reel, powerpoint presentation, youtube video or university assignment that requires something to intro or outro it, there should be something for you, and if not you directly, maybe someone you know.

This is not the final form. I add to it whenever I find inspiration to do so. Check back every so often as you may find more content was added when you weren't looking 🔇

Currently:
1210 items
766 MB download in mp3
over 9 hours of music.

Absolutely no AI was used (or harmed) in the making of this collection.

If you feel so inclined, please do boost for reach. Many thanks.

Přede mnou poslední pracovní týden (? možná - si ještě skočím do práce 22. a 23. chystat nové nástupy).
Stihnout se toho musí jako obvykle tři prdele.
V pondělí IT večírek. V úterý reinstalace notebooku majitelky. Ve středu výměna notebooku. Ve čtvrtek další večírek. A v pátek, aby toho nebylo málo, naaaaa Vsetíně, tam je luka, seče jú syneček.... Od rána až do večera. To bude náročné.

A samozřejmě očekávám uživatele, kteří si podají požadavek 19. prosince a 5. ledna se zeptají, proč to ještě není hotové.

Really impressed with my Bazzite VR experience today. Was able to play a few hours of Half Life: Alyx and Boneworks today :D The main issue I ran into (with both) is that Steam Link will cut out when you first launch the game when trying to pre-compile shaders. Sometimes this leads to Steam VR bugging out and requiring a reboot in order to reconnect. After the first launch the experience was completely seamless.

On a more positive note, it's absolutely heartwarming seeing the number of patches and contributions from community members increasing in Thunderbird.

The massive undertaking of replacing old weird undocumented code with modern coding standards and languages, as well as increasing our documentation is slowly paying off.

Yes, we know, we accidentally broke a bunch of things in the process, sorry. This stuff is hard 🫠

Usual reminder that if you have an issue with a software and you open a bug report you can simply write down your problem and ask for help, without needing to sprinkle the usual abuse and telling the folks that caused that problem that they're stupid and should get fired.

Let's see how many "no, I'm entitled to be abusive" messages I'll get

Le gars qui a perdu 20 ans de données et 30 000 boules de matos en se faisant ban par Apple. Bon, ben lui mon empathie est en panne. C'est moche, je sais mais franchement faut vraiment être con pour avoir à ce point tout délégué les yeux fermés.

Et alors la cerise sur le tas de WTF, ouiouiner en argumentant que son expertise devrait lui valoir un réexamen par un humain, mais enfin il a à ce point rien compris à ce qui lui arrive là ?

Ouais, je sais, je suis méchante.

Alors voilà exactement ce que je veux dire. Le pb n'est pas "comment" ça a été bloqué mais le blocage en lui même.
Jveux dire c'est l'existence même du blocage par l'opérateur qui est le problème. Et je t'invite à aller consulter ce qui touche ce procureur de la CPI depuis quelques mois pour évaluer l'ampleur de la toute puissance des fournisseurs.
Soit le droit est le même pour toustes, soit c'est l'arbitraire. Nous sommes dans le règne de l'arbitraire.

Ungewöhnlich für mich, aber offenbar gerade nötig:

Der Sohn einer Bekannten hat Krebs. Leukämie. Die Chemo schlägt nicht an, er braucht eine Blutzellenspende, sonst wird er sterben. Ich selbst würde gerne helfen, darf aber aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht spenden. Falls eine Spende möglich ist, geht es um einige Stunden rumsitzen mit Schlauch im Arm. Der Arbeitsausfall wird offenbar erstattet.

@hnygd hi hi hi I have news

I have a working implementation of Chatmail on FreeBSD now.

github.com/feld/chatmail-cookb…

I wonder if @stefano would be interested in hosting one on the BSD.cafe infra?

Note: it adds a custom package repo to fetch a couple things not in the ports tree right now (incl a Dovecot patch I need to see if we can get into the port or as a flavor). It's hosted on my home fiber internet, but it might be slow. I'm going to get it moved somewhere with better bandwidth soon.

edit: also the FreeBSD 14 package set is still building... 15 is ready though

oh wow 😍, please give mine a spin and let me know!

My method with the Chef cookbook does DNS-01 validation with Lego instead of HTTP-01 so it works behind NAT and other weird setups, even private.

If you spin up a test server and don't want to setup additional DNS records yet just remove the two opendkim lines from the Postfix master.cf, then you should be able to test a few accounts and it will work.

Additionally the FreeBSD deployment expects ZFS, creates a dedicated filesystem for the data, and you can also define a custom quota for it so abusers won't be able to fill up the disk and kill the server completely anyway. Also it uses ZFS compression for the maildir files instead of relying on Dovecot to do it for you.

In theory, you could set it up and sync the files over and it will work (might have to fix UID/GID for /home/vmail/*) as I left the Dovecot config on so it can still read the Dovecot-compressed files

Evening mastofolks!
So @daygar and I wrote a song for the #ChristmasReapers project again this year. We, along with 19 other amazing artists, made it onto the album, Christmas Through The Years. We're track 13 (not 4 as I first thought...sorry Day). Our backing vocals are also on track 1 of the album, which is a cover version of Train's Shake Up Christmas.
If you'd like to buy the album, it is available on Bandcamp at:
christmasreapers.bandcamp.com/…
All proceeds from the album will go towards #REAPER and #Osara, music software made accessible for blind and partially sighted users.
Thanks in advance for reading. Boosts for reach much appreciated.

☝️ok ok, hear me out...

Remember when the pandemic first started and everybody went outside at 7pm to make noise and cheer on frontline workers?

What if, at 7pm, we all went out on our balconies and porches and front steps and just fekkin screamed for five minutes.

I think it could really bring the community together.

Google and Microsoft are simply bad email providers. Their job is to deliver emails to users, and they fail at that.

The more fundamental problem is that too many users don't seem to understand that it's a choice. If your email provider is bad (and Google and Microsoft are *really* bad) then you should move elsewhere.

About the service that neil said is failing: it's not your service that is failing, it's Google and Microsoft that are failing. People should stop using them.
