There is a part of me that wishes I could have continued on horn past university in a context that isn't, eg, community band. I played in a youth orchestra in grades 11 and 12. It was an incredible experience. I miss playing big, difficult ensemble pieces.

This looks so cool and I want one. However, I have a sinking feeling they're going to get bought and killed by some FAANG before they can ship anything "later this year".
I have wrought my own downfall: MuseScore has weird bugs and after the piece repeats, there's a phantom vibraslap note before the B section, where the instrument first appears. Something something ancient Greeks and hubris.
Does anyone know the best way to search for a particular GeoCities page? (My old one.) I have these hazy memories of what's on my page, somewhere in TimesSquare. I don't remember the URL. But just like, a few things I was into, words, fragments, etc. Things I'd like to grep. Is there a way to text-search this? A lot of archives I found let you click on neighbourhoods, but I can't find it that way.
Just wanted to add that I know the URLs of every site I've ever had except for this. It's a snapshot of me in grade ten/eleven, something of a transitional time for me. I've been hunting for it for ages. It's my white whale.

There were about 800 tweets still on the account (from July 2023, posted after I took my archive). Left those in place and then deactivated. I'm tired of the awful, centralized, corporate internet. I deleted my Reddit account last night. This feels like stepping through a door.
Gonna maybe mess around with Lemmy, see if there's anything there, but wow do I ever miss when forums were set up by hobbyists and the thought of selling user data was repugnant.
