Performing my own: Capriccio e Incrocio in La minore con arpeggi (da Josep Bigorra) 🎸
#guitar Alhambra (#spanish classical guitar)
I riff some #classical #music and Spanish tones with the Crossroads #arpeggio
In this video, I explore the haunting beauty of A minor, focusing on the transition between rapid-fire arpeggios and the "crossing" technique with beautiful tone and subtle touch, balancing the dark, #melancholic tones of A minor with rhythmic drive. 🎼
@sigismundninja @rafa I personally think #fedora is a sweet spot if you like bleeding edge, and modern system, but with widespread usage and well tested. I think community wise #opensuse is not at the same level, and #debian is great, but a bit too conservative for me.
I am making an effort to script and automate everything with #lisp / #scheme / #bash and others and some #guix sprinkles for reproducibility on top of a traditional distro, and it feels good 👍
It is a sad day, at the same time I look back and realize the journey was beautiful and taught me a lot.
I am no longer running a 100% #guix system. I got tired of things breaking, being removed without warning or explanation, undocumented things, cryptic error messages.
I am but one person and cannot afford to debug stuff everyday.
I therefore took the pragmatic choice of scripting some things on top of #fedora and spread the risk, with #guix #nix #flatpak and #dnf packages.

@khleedril @taxorubio I also am a #rust fan, and see its power for sure.
At the same time, I still find myself enjoying the flexibility, dynamism, power and homoiconicity of #lisp languages. There is also that aspect of simplicity which really resonates with me.
Rust is good but it is far from simple.
Lisp and specially #scheme hits a sweet spot in functional programming, cleanliness and simplicity for me.
