As a musician, fuck Spotify, they pay next to nothing to the artists. Please pirate if Spotify is the only other option.

Radish the kind of veggie that gets relegated to a mook in DBZ

There, roasted.

on average, i’m earning 3x as much from bandcamp FLAC sales compared to what i earn off streaming. Hasn’t been ruined so far.

Cluster computing. DragonflyBSD is structured entirely with a multiprocessing design philosophy, gives amazing cache coherency in Beowulf clusters thanks to the way the scheduler works.

Bit of a niche use case, but if you’re doing gpu-unfriendly parallel compute operations like bidirectional path tracing or finite element analysis it really shines.

Flensing seems worth a shot

If you want that long tail, bandcamp and soundcloud are better sources. The barrier to entry is low with those, and there’s a plethora of small, niche artists just doing their own thing.

For a representative snapshot of music though, it’s pretty amazing. It shows what a massive percentage of the planet listens to, preserved hopefully across many seeds, and historians will love shit like this in the future.
