Xmonad with XFCE in no-desktop mode.

I can use the xfce tools to configure things like mouse and screen settings, but visually it's just xmonad.

Check out this 3d printed one. So much bass from a small object!

Pomodoro technique. Basically set a timer to do work for 20 mins (or even 10 minutes), then take a break. Then do it again. Sometimes this can get you over the initial hurdle of getting started. Once you get into the task you may not want to take a break anymore.

A similar trick is if you think of something else to do that's timewasting, like posting on lemmy (lol), then its ok to do it - but only after working for 10 minutes. You can still do those things but prioritize getting something done first.

Another one: go to the library to work. Initially all you have to do is go, not do the task itself. Then you're there, and there's nothing to do except for work. This can turn into card games in the library cafe lol, but then you have to choose a less popular place.

the two on the left are a sort of bassoon precursor (dulcian), the two on the right are racketts.

I'm mainly interested in old time fiddle tunes. I get them from youtube recommends sometimes, or from going to jams and hearing a cool tune, or someone I play with wants to learn a tune. I often post tunes I like on my old-time music lemmy community.

FDroid itself

 

That's Trisha Spencer and Howard Rains on fiddles; Kellie Allen and Pete Peterson (of the Orpheus Supertones) on guitar and banjo.

This tune has become a standard in my area. Its apparently from Nacogdoches Tx, which is not far from Louisiana - definitely has a cajun flavor to it.

Yes that's a nice thing to fix a problem with a software update. But isn't it funny how the possibility of updating after purchase seems to mean that products ship without really being well tested. If there's no possibility of fixing problems once something is in the field, then you make damn sure it works before it goes out the door.

I don't mind most marine mammals, but sea lions? I could do without sea lions.

Whoa, better make sure all my pwds are in keepass! Didn't know the fines were so hefty for that.

 

Sweet Bundy played by Clare Milliner and Walt Koken, authors of the 1400 tune Milliner-Koken collection. In 2020 they started recording a ton of fiddle tunes and posting them on youtube.

I think its Jeb Puryear and Mark Olitsky on fiddle and banjo. Cary Fridley guitar and Andy Edmonstone bass.
