I’ve decided to spend more time talking about and sharing things that are awesome.

FreeBSD is especially awesome for storage and hypervisors.

NetBSD is especially awesome for anything old and small, but can still grow with you.

Xen is especially awesome as a Linux hypervisor.

Tribblix is an awesome illumos OS, not just for those nostalgic for Solaris tooling.

OM System (ne. Olympus) still make especially awesome fun cameras.

Coffee is especially awesome for taste and alertness.

FLAC, turns out, is especially awesome when your ears have been fixed up.

This is a non-exhaustive list.

@rubenerd Forgot to mention the other day, but I think a good reason for lossless formats are that you can losslessly convert them toother formats. I’m rip my CDs with ALAC (Apple Lossless), but the cool thing about them is that I can easily convert them to FLAC, with all info intact. So MP3 (and others) are like the JPEG for music.
