  • Take this with a grain of salt cause this is just what I’ve heard from a friend who knows a lot more about server hosting than I do, but from what I’ve heard hosting a Matrix homeserver is a potential legal liability unless you’re really selective about who you let on your server cause it stores the entire state of every room a user uses, so all it takes is one friend of a friend to visit a sketchy room where people have shared csam and you could be in trouble.

    Assuming this is accurate and not just my friend misunderstanding something or being overly paranoid I could imagine people being very hesitant about hosting their own server rather than just using the default matrix.org server.









  • This has been my exact issue with native Linux music players ever since I switched to Linux like a year and a half ago. I’ve been using MusicBee via Wine pretty successfully but not without some (mostly minor) bugs. No FOSS devs seemed to anticipate my niche use case of needing my Weasel Walter / Mary Halvorson / Peter Evans albums, my Weasel Walter / Mary Halvorson album, and my Weasel Walter / Peter Evans album to all sort into Weasel Walter’s discography while simultaneously the first two sort into Mary Halvorson’s discography and the first and third sort into Peter Evans’ discography, nor did they anticipate my need to tag an album as both Free Improvisation and Harsh Noise rather than sorting it into a separate third “Free Improvisation; Harsh Noise” category lol.


  • Lyrics? There are none, as that’s purely instrumental. Onomatopoeia? Assuming it’s a pure sine wave, probably just an “ooooooo” without any glottal plosive at the beginning. A pure sine wave wouldn’t be a “woooo”, that would be a sine wave with some kind of envelope filter or something at the beginning of it. It wouldn’t be “ooooOOOOOooooo” unless there’s an increase in amplitude in the middle or like, another additional sine wave of a slightly different frequency than the first and going in and out of phase with it or something along those lines. An “iiiiiiiiiii” sung in a head voice might be appropriate if the sine wave is really high in pitch.
