    @tiredhorizon@mstdn.social

    Genuine question here for Linux users and musicians, composers, guitar players etc. I am being told by several mouthy people online that "nobody uses linux" & "nobody would use linux for music making"

    How many of you use or have used Linux as a vehicle for recording music?

    Please retoot/repost to help get a handle on this, cheers!

    I currently use Linux to make music:5
    I used Linux in the past for music:2
    I've never used Linux for music applications:4

      While I am a #Debian #Linux user for decades I know the world is larger than this.

      Courtesy of https://boxybsd.com/ and the support of @gyptazy I now have a free (!) #OpenBSD VM. :-)

      My primary goal is to learn some BSD things. Usage seems easy, during one morning I was able to restrict root access, add a new user, setup ssh-key based login and also to activate a simple http-server.

      My "Hello world" is here: http://boxy.0ub.de/ :-)

      (Note that there is no ssl yet - that just wasn't my goal for now.)

      Edit: and it is IPv6-only, but hey... IPv4 is so 1990 ;-)

          Since I am a die-hard Debian user and Debian is not exactly considered very user friendly what do I recommend friends that want to try out Linux?

          What Debian derivative, I mean. Because that way I can give them best tech support when needed. ๐Ÿฅ

          I keep hearing that Ubuntu and Mint are rather unpolished these days and things often break there and end up too difficult to explain (to a Linux baby).

          Don't say Arch. Don't say Fedora.

            @stefano@bsd.cafe I tried on my laptop running and it works out of box. Though I am a bit confused about the Load function. I tried to locate my local files but it doesn't seem to work that way. The Import function works as expected.

                  A client sends me an email:
                  "Do you remember that internal backup server you set up a few years ago? Could you log in and check if everythingโ€™s okay? Iโ€™m not seeing any errors, but Iโ€™m not sure if itโ€™s actually working properly".

                  I have a vague memory of it - Iโ€™m guessing โ€œa few years agoโ€ is quite a high number.
                  They send me the credentials and I log in:

                  08:46:41 up 2957 days, 18:01, 1 user, load average: 7.09, 2.34, 1.50

                  And, surprisingly, no errors.
                  Everything is working correctly, backups are present, and the disks show no issues whatsoever.

                            It has been overshadowed by the release of the Trixie Installer RC1 release, but has also released a point release for Bookworm today.

                            It was a great opportunity to define net.ipv{6,4}.ip_nonlocal_bind so nginx(8) at thebus.top finally starts at boot without error because it has network but no IP defined. Once again systemd doing its stuff -_-'

                                Just released: 0.7! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                                Swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon". If you're looking for a solution to add cookie/form to your reverse proxy, or maybe even a alternative to which leaves the actual proxying to nginx, this might be for you! It is designed for use with nginx' auth_request, written in pure C, with minimal dependencies (zlib and, depending on build options, openssl/libressl and/or libpam), and compiles to a small binary (currently between 150kiB and less than 300kiB depending on compiler and target platform).

                                Swad should work on many (and almost) systems. It's actually tested on (in "production" use, but on a very low-traffic private site), and quick functionality tests also done on () and (, open-source descendant).

                                As announced, this release doesn't bring any new features (in terms of WHAT it can do), but great improvements "under the hood", that should help performance at least on some platforms, see release notes for swad 0.7.

                                    Well, my install is now using unix sockets instead of IP ones. Because I use the backports package, I had to do a bit of systemctl edit sorcery, disabling PrivateTmp, which is a bit meh.

                                    Don't ask me why I did it, especially that I don't need that much of throughput.

                                      When I ran Tumbleweed and Leap 15 on an older laptop, I purposely went with ext4 and it was unquestionably a smoother experience.
