the people running #finbro #fashion think fashion is a formula they get to manipulate and engineer.

and it’s not a coincidence that the dismantling of #homeEconomics #arts #music programs in #USA #publicSchools happened during the finbro take-over of fashion houses here & in Europe. they don’t want generations of makers not buying their crap.

that’s why the fuckers co-opted #punk & #hipHop; as if they were gimmicks you buy into and not practices bourne of resistance & survival…

Just stumbled upon this 'demotape' of Reboelje (Frisian folkrock) and am listening with tears in my eyes.

In late 1995 the big brother of a friend died while listening to this specific recording (cruising along one of those endless roads in the USA).

The last time I heard this version of the song 'the dead man' was at the funeral. Three band members were there, silently singing along. I was too young to grasp all but will never forgot the pensive sadness.

Early 2000s I had this tiny portable MP3 player. It had amazing battery life and a day of music.

I loved the experience.

The last decade the portable music experience just became one-of-many apps on my phone. One more choice, one more distraction.

Recently I noticed I never listen to full albums anymore.

So I bought the 2025 version. A shiny black music rectangle. And now I actually listen and enjoy music again.

Anyway. Experience the same loss? Get a shiny music rectangle! :-)

My shiny music rectangle. A small black box with a touchscreen. It has a memory card with a couple dozen albums. Currently playing is Flecht (Frisian for 'war') by Reboelje.

Alt...

Side view. It has physical buttons for volume, play/pause and next. I can control them without looking at the screen.

Sarah McLachlan released "Better Broken," the title song from her forthcoming album.

I loved Sarah's music in the 90's but lost track of her in the 2000's. I liked this song and I think Sarah still sounds great after all these years. Check it out and see what you think.

Gibt es hier jemanden der eine eigene #Funkwhale Instanz betreibt (oder im engen Kreis benutzt) und dort seine eigene Musikbibliothek verwaltet?

Ich würde sehr gerne mal die Föderation auspobieren und mir ansehen wie das so funktioniert / abläuft. Hätte jemand Interesse?

If you can survive watching a lousy English speaker, I did a little "first steps" tutorial for composing YM2149 music on Atari ST using maxYMiser, at Shadow Party.

Whatever the business side of things, there’s an inescapable fact about the #BlackSabbath show: the actual four people who in 1968/1969 literally created an entire musical thing worldwide just by existing, are all still here for this. I’d call it unique. It’s at once obvious and hiding in plain sight. #music

Are you still on #Spotify?

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.

And don’t forget:

• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).

And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

I decided to check out Snow Patrol because I really like a couple of their hits, and OMG this band is super wholesome.

I'm four songs into the Wildness album and all of them have gone into playlists, three of them into Solarpunk Abundance. Some are wholesome AND revolutionary.

#Introduction

Hello, my name is Christoff.

I live in Illinois, USA, outside the St. Louis area. Below I'll talk about my technology and creative interests, and a bit about me personally. I'm going to hashtag the heck out of this post.

the whole "deadbeef" thing is the magic number from #Solaris for freed memory. I simply chose .monster TLD because it seemed cool and I like "extended" TLDs.

#Technology

I have been using a OpenBSD, #NetBSD, or #GNU/#Linux since the late 1990s as a primary workstation. I used macOS from 2020 to 2025, switching to the #KDE neon distro (KDE plasma is amazing and KDE isn't bloated anymore, yay!).

My current career is as a #pentester where I break into web applications, IP networks, mobile applications (especially #Android), and people to their face or over the phone; code #malware; write documentation; and enjoy helping clients in a third party contractor/consultant role. I started that job change in 2020, when I earned the #OSCP certification at the height of "#infosec twitter" when I did well there.

Previously I worked for about 20 years as a senior-level programmer, and systems, infrastructure, and database administrator. Burnout was very real and I was extremely bored/unfulfilled.

Now that programming and sysadmin stuff isn't my career, I find I enjoy programming and tinkering again.

I am a big fan of NetBSD and always have been. I am not a huge fan of GNU/Linux but I do appreciate things "just working", even if it is full of closed-source binary blobs and other garbage. It was fun in the 1990s.

I know many programming languages but have been paid professionally to code in #C, #Perl, #Python, #PHP, #Java, and #Groovy for big commercial entities like eBay, small companies, and the US government.

I've maintained 99.99% uptime for a 60MM+ platform for years, including failover and backups (that were regularly tested... you test your failover and backups, right?!).

I always wanted to be a cool C and low-level programmer, which I thought for the longest time was being a kernel programmer, but now I know that isn't the life for me.

Emacs is something I've enjoyed since the beginning and I still can't code a #Lisp well. I'd love to be a cool #lisper with #CommonLisp, but haven't gotten there yet. I'm on the #c64 and #embedded #retrocomputing train now.

#Creative

For creative stuff, I aim to do a lot but tend to hop around as interests take me. I could use some discipline there (someday?).

For #music, I have an electric #bass (Fender Jazz) and electric #guitar. I love #jambands (#GratefulDead, #Phish, #Goose) and that's the type of music I like to play along to.

For #art, I like #acrylic and #watercolor painting. I rarely do it, but think about it a lot and love it when I do it. I don't have any skill or talent, but that's not the point. It's for me and no one else.

For #computing, I am venturing into #C64 #demoscene programming and exploration. Not only was I too poor to get one when I was little but I sorta forgot about it over time. The desire to do cool things in a restricted environment where folks are playing in the sandbox, too, is very exciting and attractive to me. I don't know how to code the #Commodore64 stuff yet, but will! Learning the assembly language (I have zero desire to code in BASIC again and I can just code assembly).

#Personal

I live with my soulmate and our five amazing cats in a small town outside St. Louis living a quiet life. Just doing our jobs, taking care of daily life stuff, and enjoying each other and life as much as we can. Ups and downs of life chaos, like anyone else, but we're doing alright!

We enjoy exploring places within driving distance and there are a lot of places to go to.

Currently, we're really into playing two-player games together and just started collecting #boardgames. Right now, we're really digging #SkyTeam, #RoyalGameOfUr, #ForrestShuffle, #SentinelsOfTheMultiverse, and this magnet game I don't know the name of. We have #SpiritIsland and #ArcNova to unwrap and learn. We tried really really hard to get into #ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame but the rules are too complicated and confusing, where it felt like we were doing the wrong thing all the time.

I am 46. I grew up loving Star Wars, Star Trek, #SciFi, reading novels non-stop, horror, and watching movies. I collect classic SciFi books from 1960s and 1970s.

I would perhaps describe myself as an extremely curious person, that loves #puzzles and #mysteries, #exploration, figuring out #HumanBehavior like I'm an alien studying humans (I'm good at it, it turns out), that has a keen eye for detail, remembering random little things, and a good listener. I'm fairly adaptable and fluid in most things, which works well for me. My brain works differently than a lot of people, and while frustrating a lot of the time for things I don't understand fully, it is me and serves me well in niches.

Making people laugh makes me happy. I am a #hacker and #tinkerer.

While preparing the 3-year-anniversary episode of "The Post Mortem Report" for its release on July 1, I can't help feeling a bit nostalgic. Hard to believe it's been over 3 years since Ronald McGillvray and I started work on it, and what it's become.

The photograph composed in absolute pitch black darkness shows a dimly lit environment with a television screen displaying a menu interface. The screen is tilted and angled, making it difficult to read the text clearly. The top part of the image is dominated by a dark background with a red neon sign that reads "STAR" in capital letters, with additional red lights arranged vertically. The bottom part of the image features a blue screen with a menu, including options like "Music" and "In a Van Full of Stars (feat. Legend Avenue)." The screen also shows a small thumbnail image of a person, likely a performer, with a play button and a progress bar indicating the song's duration. The overall lighting is low, with the screen being the primary source of illumination. Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.688 Wh

The photograph composed in total darkness shows a screen displaying a music player interface. The background is dark with a blue section on the right side labeled "Music." The screen displays the title "I'm A Man (Full Length Album Version)" by Gay Disco & Hi NRG, with an album cover featuring colorful text spelling "DISCI" and a vibrant image. The track is from the "Disco Macho" collection. The playback time is shown as 00:01:06 out of 00:17:36. The next song is "Seven And 10 1/2." The interface includes playback controls such as a rewind and fast-forward button, and a progress bar.

This past week, 99 years ago, Miles Dewey Davis III was born in Alton, Illinois.

On November 12, 1989, on 60 Minutes, Harry Reasoner asked him if Black musicians were better at jazz and blues because of slavery. The question could’ve gone sideways.

What Davis said—quietly, precisely—was about rhythm, memory, race, and the meaning of swing. #music #Jazz #Histodons #history #blackmastodon #photography #blackandwhite

Today I did a brief training session on my short scale Bass using only the 19-inch rack mount effect.

I configured the effect with the Leslie FX, a system with a rotating speaker rotating drum and many other parameters which you can also overdrive to get nice crunchy sounds.
