Nice twin fiddle version of this tune, which is apparently from the english ballad.

Working on this crooked fiddle tune. Lately trying to learn texas style fiddle backup on guitar.

Why does it seem the world is all of a sudden concerned about sexual orientation? Especially America. Did I miss how far we came as a society to see it take a 40 year step backwards? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Rich shitbags funding divisive propaganda to make the plebs fight each other and vote against their own interests.

Sambo - Trisha Spencer (www.youtube.com)
 

From Tricia Spencer's 2012 solo album. I think that's probably with Mark Ward on banjo and Betse Ellis also on fiddle.

Ripping version of this mississippi tune from "Jeb and Mark" plus Andy on bass according to the comments. No idea who's playing guitar. No one looks up!

Tractor Family version, Ithaca style.

Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

No more tricky than windows these days. Nice thing is there's a lack of commercial BS - spyware, ads, unwanted apps etc. And pretty much no matter how old your computer gets, you can still run brand new linux on it.

Any recommendations for printers that don't require proprietary inks, subscriptions or special apps? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Brother laser printer, black and white, ethernet connection. So fast, so reliable. Do you really NEED color? I find that its not that important, and if I need quality prints, like for photos, a 300$ printer isn't going to cut it anyway.

Frank Fairfield really gets an old timey sound.

Ditched video games years back, partly because of RSI issues, partly because getting in to other things. For a while it was mountain biking, currently is music. Also a move that was sort of RSI related, but brought its own RSI issues which I got over eventually. Music is pretty social which is good, but also bad lol.

I was into making for a while there, but have faded from that scene since I moved during the pandemic. Now all the makerspaces are 30 mins or more away and that's kind of a dealbreaker. I don't have the space or the funds for my own CNC or wood shop, plus not as motivated without the social aspect.

Other one is skiing which I used to really be into. I'm kinda barely hanging on with that, one or two times a year. The traffic has gotten terrible and the whole thing is super expensive and hassly. I'm bored with local resorts and backcountry is somewhat deadly. It does give me a little motivation for fitness since this years trip will be pretty strenuous.

they are only 'hardcore' because of the poor desktop environment integration.

Ha I never noticed the options search.

The Scrolls of Nix (lemmy.ml)
 

A big part of why nix documentation is sub par. The essential tomes of nix - the nix manual, the nixos manual, the nixos options, the nixpkgs manual - each of these documents is just one long page.

They are the digital equivalent of scrolls, rather than books (codices?).

Rather than having a page number (or page link), one must unroll the scroll to the point of interest. One cannot simply flip between two points of interest. One cannot have bookmarks, or refer to page numbers. Ctrl-F is helpful, sure, but not great.

For instance, I was just looking for the documentation of the systemd.services. options. Its near the end of the colossally long scroll known as the Nixos Options Appendix. Ctrl-F on systemctl.services will get one million hits on all the myriad services nixos offers before you finally get to the relevant section. And if you do find that section (with single pixel movements of the scroll bar) and then ctrl-f, woe betide you, you're now at the top of the document and your place is lost!

i'm 40 years old and just had ALL my teeth extracted in one go. The pain is excruciating. Any tips for pain relief? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

For me it just made it hurt weird, it didn't make it not hurt. Maybe one of those things where not everyone responds the same way.

Henry King's Reel - Stuart Brothers (www.youtube.com)

Travis and Trevor Stuart playing an original G tune "Henry King's Reel". Frequently called at my local jams. Travis is playing a two finger banjo style instead of the usual clawhammer.
