  • Der deutsche Winter kann schon kalt werden. “Sehr hart” würde ich nicht sagen. Kommt aber auch darauf an, was deine Vorerfahrungen mit Winter sind.

    Eine Schneehose (Jacke für die Beine) tragen hier die wenigsten. Würde eher ein paar lange Unterhosen für richtig kalte Tage kaufen, das ist wahrscheinlich billiger.

    Handschuhe (und eine Mütze, falls deine Jacke keibe gefütterte Kaputze hat) würde ich schon kaufen, wenn du viel draußen unterwegs sein wirst.



  • So I’m an Arch user since 2013 and I don’t think I’m toxic. I am not really offended by this post but a bit worried. Why this hate against Arch (users)? I use Arch, btw is a meme that may has some truth, but like every good meme it is exaggerated. Arch users may have some pride in tunning Arch but most of the time they’re (in my expierence) helpful and inclusive. The OS itself fits right to my expectations: community driven, pragmatic, highly customizable. And I think the community is doing a lot for the overall Linux community with the Arch Wiki and for the Arch-based family with the AUR.

    Edit: I didn’t seek help in the Arch fotum myself but read some threads there. Haven’t encountered any bm there.






  • Privacy brings security under totalitarian regimes or in countries that shift in that direction. They might say if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, but there are unjust conditions under which you have to hide things, like that you belong to minority that is targeted by the authorities. Like the nazis did in the third reich, where privacy was reduced during their takeover. Or that you belong to a party that is suddenly framed as evil and enemies of the nation. Or if you have connections to “traitors” or other “scum”.




  • Hi.

    So what I’m going to tell you is just my opinion. I’m no professional, though one of my projects peaked at 9k monthly listeners. And I’m also using Linux exclusively.

    If I were you, I would start with arranging samples and sound designing them together. Get free sample packs at cymatics.fm and either ardour (free open source), reaper (closed source nagware) or bitwig studio (the demo to try if you like it, it is somewhat expensive but a great daw very similar to ableton.

    Get all the free native linux plugins you can get, especially the ones from the linux studio project, vital, helm, surge-xt, cardinal, rough rider 2, master_me, tis-lea 1294, chow tape, byod and maybe some others i forgot. Your fistro might have a package group or a metapackage, arch linux has one, i think proaudio is the name.

    Try to match up the different samples, look for key (Amin, Cmaj and stuff like that, you will learn later what that means) and use samples in the same key. Examine drum loops and try to build them with undividual samples.try making your own drum loops. Try things you know from listening, like snare build ups, risers, etc.

    Become familiar with effects and what they do. You should know what EQ, Compressor, Limiter, Reverb, Delay and Saturation are and how to use them on a rudimentary level.

    Then you should learn the basics of music theory. I will add some links later on, but I already know, that there are great videos from underdog school for electronic music. Oscar explains this and other thing really well and has generally really high quality videos that will help you a lot. He focuses on techno and electronic music in general, but there is a lot to learn regardless of genre.

    Then you can learn sound synthesis, if you want. But there are shittons of free samples and presets out there, just look at bedroomproducerblog for plugins (you can run yabridge to use windows vsts) and freesamplepacks (or else) for samples.

    If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me.

    Edit: Links from Oscars youtube channel, these are important ones but imo every video on his channel is worthwhile:

    Edit2: Here is a Ardour Tutorial from unfa, he makes music on Linux and FOSS mainly on his channel, lots of tutorials, tips and tricks regarding that:

  • Nah, that’s just wrong. You can compare yourself in other ways than how much fake money you earn. Fun thing is: truly communistic society would mean easier work for most people.

    And communism does work in small scale enviroments. Families, cooperatives, tribes. Sometimes neighborhoods.

    This whole “Sounds great but won’t work” rhethoric is just what the ones that would loose their power in communsim want you to think. If you dig into it you will see, that there were and are a lot of efforts to discredit the idea.

    So I am a middle aged man, living with my family in a 140 sqm house with a garden, built in 2019 in one of the richest countried of the world. We go on vacation 2 times a year, eat good, do a lot of freetime activities like amusement parks, eating out, etc. Both my wife and me work on well payed proffessions and are at least in the top quarter of people in our country regarding wealth. And I know for a fact that many people earn less for far more work, because I used to be one of them. Only in my country, one of the richest in the world. I was fortunate, because I was gifted with a pretty good brain and other things that are absolutly not my doing, but there are a lot of people in low paying and minimum wage jobs that work a lot harder than me.

    TL;DR: Capitalism is no meritocracy. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. It’s a fucked up system and we need something more fair.
