So true about software industry:
It’s a curious thing about our industry: not only do we not learn from our mistakes, we also don’t learn from our successes.

Russia has many good death metal bands. I have found 4 good ones. Sweden has even more, being home of melodic death metal...

Metal songs are well sung, have good music but their lyrical themes are dark, which ruins the whole fun.

@EdwardTorvalds there's a method out there to create a new network interface and route all its traffic through an ssh connection. IIRC it requires certain permissions but no extra software on the SSH server side. Sort of a fake VPN that's easier to setup than OpenVPN.

It's quite nifty, but it does suffer from TCP-over-TCP, which often chokes up.

I think it is because of Youtube, Spotify that good, less popular music artists don't get much attention. To seek them out you have to avoid recommendation and dig them out yourself.
