Pink noise is the soothing stuff, like rainfall.
Some people mistakenly call this “White noise“. That’s unnatural garbage, like static.

A taskbar.
After some work, this can be made sensible. I prefer LXPanel or fbpanel.
 Merkur Super
|
TL;DR:
- RK Shaving Stainless DE Razor Blades, balanced and from a good company (check out their razor handles!)
- Dorco Prime Double Edge Razor Blades, value yet great quality
-
Merkur Super, unmatched quality and very forgiving but expensive. Highly recommended for beginners.
–
Problem: Can I get more value for my blades?
- Do I pay too much for blades?
- Are there better blades for sensitive skin or unskilled use?
-
Are there blades which are more durable, granting more uses?
A rather obvious topic that I didn’t find good resources for when I was first interested in my shakuhachi. It got shelved for a long time because of that.
This topic isn’t about the other necessary things:
- Finger placement and general handling.
- Posture
- Breathing
- Embouchure – The shape of the mouth when blowing.
-
Other shakuhachi terminology.
If you can’t put the flute to your mouth and make a decent note quite quickly, you probably aren’t ready for anything more than Mary Had a Little Lamb and maybe not even that, yet. This is fine; accept your limitations so you have some place to set goals from.

Disgaea – Hour of Darkness – (2003 game) >
Yes, it’s a very old game, but I decided to make a little project out of it so I don’t miss out on unlocking anything and I otherwise have an efficient path for my characters. This began as a PS/2 guide, but it got released on Steam so it’s been updated with that in mind.
For grinding on the PS/2 port, consider AutoHotkey.

A distributed backup of The Internet Archive.
Aside from donating to The Internet Archive, offering disk space is the least someone can to do.

Abandoned – As of 2020-06-19 the archiveteam.org wiki says it has been broken and unmaintained since 2016-12.

Several years ago I had a vague interest in looking up the history of women in science.
I don’t think I ever had any particular notes, but I’ll drop a page here just in case.

TODO – tested and working, though my most recent Lubuntu experimentation has problems I’m still troubleshooting.
At best, my computer hangs when prompting for a password. I think this is related to the 4.4.14 kernel but have not confirmed this.

These instructions are a lot easier than they seem, and a smart and patient beginner will be able to follow them!
- These notes were made from instructions from Slackware “current”, as of 2016-11-05, and have been tested on Slackware 14.2, and 14.2 32bit.
-
These notes were made on an everyday system with one hard drive which I completely formatted for this purpose.
- If you are a new user, it is strongly recommended that you remove all hard drive’s your using and do this on a spare unused/empty drive.

This concept and these notes build a full-disk Slackware installation which also uses LVM. You can safely ignore the entire LVM post and just follow this one.
This concept and these notes are entirely obsoleted by dm-crypt, if you want a complete encryption solution.
These notes were made from instructions from Slackware as of Slackware 14.2 64bit.
It’s remarkably simple.
