A note on implementing new Org features.
The attached screenshot is a high-level overview of maintainer tasks. I know about 492 bug reports, 1664 community/refactoring tasks, and 948 feature requests. All that is simply impossible to complete by a single guy. I have prioritize bugs/maintenance-related things. So, most new features have to be contributed by others. As a maintainer, I am trying my best to make things as easy as possible for new contributrs. There is no other sane way.

My mate @GeeTee and some other cool #SystemCrafters cats have built an internet radio station, Asteroid Radio: music for hackers, built by hackers.

Asteroid Radio is a community-driven internet radio station born from the SystemCrafters community. We celebrate the intersection of music, technology, and hacker culture—broadcasting for those who appreciate both great code and great music.

It's quite good and they're actively developing it, give it a listen and get involved.

Anna's Archive backed up Spotify. They got 99.9% of metadata, and 300TB of music representing 86 million tracks - original 160kbps OGG for tracks with popularity>0, and re-encoded 75kbps for popularity=0. absolutely wild project.

the metadata in particular is a hugely useful data source. MusicBrainz catalogues 5 million unique ISRCs (like ISBNs but for music releases), whereas this archive has a whopping 186 million.

Backing up Spotify

We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.

When I try to refile or edit them, I freeze. They have been there for so long now that they don't belong anywhere else. They live there, as they also inhabit the back of my mind. They are artifacts ossified by a timestamp, haunted by their own incompleteness. Many are properly tagged, though.

I've been maintaining a so called zettelkasten for more than a decade now. I tend to visit and work on certain bundles of notes much more than others. And there are some notes that I'm physically (i.e., psychologically) unable to deal with. They are rigid and stale, sometimes meaningless. They compose an impenetrable structure that I regard as "memory". I lack the courage to deal with them, as if they are shielded by an invisible higher power. There are some good insights there, but unreachable.
