It's time for an #introduction.

I'm glad to meet you! I'm the barista and main administrator of the bsd.cafe and illumos.cafe instances (and other projects), a computer science enthusiast who's been fascinated by technology since childhood. I'm a big supporter of open-source solutions and enjoy working with #BSDs as well as #illumos based OSes and #Linux systems. I enjoy #music and #photography. I've been an avid traveler and am now looking forward to getting back to traveling.I'm married to a wonderful wife and strive to live each day with a positive attitude,making the most of every day to improve our lives.

I like writing blog articles, especially tech ones (https://it-notes.dragas.net) and, from time to time, some of them are widely appreciated, especially in the open-source community.

Thank you for passing by and reading my introduction, enjoy your stay here in the #fediverse

Holy shit. TIL that Janet Jackson is the only Grammy-winning artist with a CVE.

CVE-2022-38392 indicates that playing Rhythm Nation near certain hard drives will cause a crash, because the song contains a resonate frequency with a 5400RPM spinning disk of a certain diameter and construction.

Neat.

With all this rainy weather, it is high time for me to repost what is arguably among my top 3 favorite musical performances on Youtube

https://youtu.be/7F5HND4F6Fo

Ravi Shankar's rendition of the Raag Pilu for violin and sitar, and tablas, here with acoustic tanpura drone accompaniment.

He wrote it as an east-western collab for Yehudi Menuhin and himself, but here it is performed very epically by his daughter Anoushka Shankar and great quirky violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja

Classical guitar in Spain at the beginning of the 20th century, trying to be taken as "seriously" as piano, violin, and cello.

Bad Religion: "Sorrow" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8K6es6JnG4 #music

Some songs hit that nostalgic feeling of a better world we used to live in. Yesterday one particular song hit me at my work desk. It made me get out of my depression and write a blog post.

Remembering we are still human and music makes us feel emotions. It gives us hope when we think there isn't any.

I also got why people enjoy video editing so much - I got into the zone and I think I spent like two hours editing just to learn the controls? It's a very chill activity.

Anyway. New Hobby acquired.

Question: where do people find copyright free music for your videos?
