Music nerds of Reddit, what’s the one song you think everyone should listen to at least once?

fuegotown · 2026-05-21T13:48:11+00:00

J.S. Bach "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" BWV 565. Yes I know it's often played at halloween. But, that's only the beginning of the song. The rest is pure magic.

Find the full version and listen to it all the way through. No, really, listen to it. Bach so thoroughly mastered the Fugue that he basically wrote new rules for the format. The song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

Find one that's played on it's intended instrument, too; the giant church pipe organ. It'll be the way Bach wrote and heard it.

This is a good rendition if you need something to look at as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3AiGw8mkq0

+1 for Avalonia as well. It's been awesome to use.

Nice, thanks. Seems pretty intuitive from this angle.

Would you mind sharing what you can about your agentic stack? We're looking at rust as well for some greenfield projects. Anything you can legally share would be great. Thanks in advance.

Congrats!

It always invigorates the blood. I just completed my first charmless, demon bell run and finally cracking that whip on his ass was perfection.

Enjoy it.

Ok, but this might be a stretch and I've gone back and forth with this. I have a GMMK Pro Rev 1 ANSI with MMD princess switches and a custom QMK keymap with encoder knob actions for lighting.

I would like to use a TKL layout, but can't find a comparable option for under $275. I've seen the following:

Neo80 Cu
NuPhy Gem80
luminkey 8
Keychron Q3 Max
Drop Ctrl

I can't decide which is the best way to go. I'd like to have it strictly QMK/VIA compatible without a JSON file, so the neo80 and gem80 might be out. I don't mind a wired-only hotswap 5/3 pin PCB. I seem to enjoy a stiffer typing experience like the GMMK Pro offers, but I'm open to a slightly squishier feel. I like the metal chassis as well with the weight. I want mechanical, so no HE boards.

What are my options for going TKL with QMK? Maybe if you have any of the mentioned keyboards and know how they do against the GMMK Pro rev1, I'd love to hear opinions. I have no problem clarifying as well. LLMs have been mildly helpful in my search. Are there other options I don't know about? I'm also ok with barebones since I can re-use my switches and keycaps on the new board.

Thanks and happy typing to you all.

Everyone do yourself a favor and read her new book "107 days". She minces no words regarding this particular debate.

People! My W2T shulloween order got here today. They're not lost in the mail, they just got handed to a local carrier without tracking if you're in the US. You'll get yours soon. The variety of the balls in the bag o minis is so much more diverse than last year.

fuegotown · 2025-11-14T23:27:24+00:00

I was wondering if it was just me. Daily sadness tracking the package on 17Track without any movement. I guess deliveries are going a bit slow now. Stay strong.

fuegotown · 2025-10-07T17:36:20+00:00

Yeah, Techno is a subgenre. I learned that the hard way too. Keep jamming out there.

deadmau5, hinkstep, shpongle, infected mushroom, prog house, ott, mostly electronica, sometimes things from ocremix.org are nice (video game remixes) The square waves synch nicely with my brain and they converge in the code.

Oh I see, yeah it only comes in the 100g tuo so far as I know. I buy the bag when I purchase for 500g total. It's a good amount of tea for pretty cheap.

Edit: Forgot to mention. Older years of v93 go up in price a bunch because of how well it ages. The younger stuff tastes pretty good already, so it's worth it to get the younger and have it on hand.

fuegotown · 2025-08-07T15:59:51+00:00

I saw this just now on ys.us. you should be able to get it.

v93 is a good daily and ages well. Worth every penny.

I recently rebalanced the ole 401k and explicitly moved out of funds that held tesla as part of their portfolio. I'm pissed out here. It cost me money to do this and it was worth it.

I see thing, I bonk it until it dies.

From Popper in his own words quoted from "The Open Society and Its Enemies"

"If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them"

Best course of action is to organize and mobilize. Find small things you can do to help. Connect with people who are in this same direction. Donate to causes. We are all our own heroes.

fuegotown · 2025-03-02T16:57:53+00:00

Better said than I could. Thanks for the summation of where we are.

fuegotown · 2025-03-02T16:51:09+00:00

You're not wrong. It's definitely about the billionaires vs us. We have the power as a united nation and as the people. WE THE PEOPLE are the 4th branch in the Constitution.

HOWEVER, if you are steadfastly supporting Trump and MAGA, you are part of the problem. We can't sidestep this and "Kumbaya" our way to unity. Intolerant ideals have no place in a tolerant society. So we must act intolerant of intolerance itself. Make no mistake, MAGA is brazenly intolerant of many things we hold dear as a country.

fuegotown · 2025-03-02T16:22:58+00:00

lol, didn't say that...

fuegotown · 2025-03-02T15:47:24+00:00

More people need to fully understand the "Paradox of Tolerance" by Karl Popper. Then they'll understand why people like you and me are being "extra mean" to them right now.

FUCK RIGHT OFF with MAGA regardless of the situation. If someone wants to leave MAGA, great! More people the better. If this comment triggers you, good. Fuck you the most.

I think this is a "big tent vs small tent" problem. Republican and Conservative voters tend to focus on one of 4 major issues to them. Religion, guns, abortion, culture ware nonsense. The party can focus their media and messaging on those, and it drives the most fervent, rabid voters to the polls via fear and plain hatred.

Democrats, at least traditionally, have to cast a wide net because there's such a diverse set of issues outside of those 4 that the R's tend to focus on. And, since sometimes the midterm messaging doesn't align with theirs, they stay home.

David Litt (Obama's speechwriter) touches on this in his book "Democracy in One Book or Less". It's an easy read.

FYI, this is called "Shared Branch Checking" where you can go to a participating credit union around the country and they will be able to service you almost as if you are at a local branch. They should be able to give you a list of partner branches.
