I like listening to musics and I am not the only one. Just look at how many people are listening to [LoFi music with the study girl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A "lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to on YouTube") or look how many views [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) has. As a young adult, I remember the times the CDs were the king of music distribution. But they are long gone. Thanks to internet, digital music stores and music streaming services replaced CDs.
So here I am, looking for the best music listening solution I can get. After a little search on the internet I came up with the below list of music stores or streaming services.
Online Music Stores | Music Streaming Services
---|---
[iTunes](https://www.apple.com/itunes/ "DRM") | [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/ "DRM")
[BandCamp](https://bandcamp.com/) | [BandCamp](https://bandcamp.com/)
[Amazon Store](https://amazon.com "DRM") | [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.com/ "DRM")
[eMusic](https://www.emusic.com/ "Limited selection but may use") | [Spotify](https://www.spotify.com/ "Not available")
[Bleep](https://bleep.com/ "limited selection") | [Napster](https://us.napster.com/ "DRM")
[Google Play Music](https://killedbygoogle.com/ "Killed By Google - December 2020") | [YouTube Music](https://music.youtube.com/ "Not available")
[Jamendo](https://www.jamendo.com/) | [Jamendo](https://www.jamendo.com/)
[BeatPort](https://www.beatport.com/ "not my jazz") | [Tidal](https://tidal.com/ "DRM")
There are many options and above isn't an exhaustive list. Thankfully I have constraints to help me make more educated choice.
1. __Availability__ (in my region) : Even though I can use VPN to appear on some other location on the face of Earth, my bank card will give my location up or won't be accepted 👎️
2. __DRM__ : I want to put music on my phone, computer and even my NextCloud to listen from anywhere. When I spent money on music, I don't want to stuck with whatever the vendor supports. I want no vendor lock-in or any other limitation. Those limitations are pushing many people to pirate 😥️
3. __Discoverability__ : Whenever there is a new music, I want to be able to find it.
4. __Options__ : Does it even has my jazz!
# Finally here are my options
Online music stores | Streaming services
---|---
[BandCamp](https://bandcamp.com/) | [Jamendo](https://www.jamendo.com/)
[Jamendo](https://www.jamendo.com/) | [BandCamp](https://bandcamp.com/)
## Why BandCamp
DRM free songs and musics to purchase and download in high quality. I skimmed over the Term of Services and I dind't notice any red flags for my privacy. It isn't the perfect service. Every artist isn't there and only some of the new songs appear there. But its ToS and Privacy Policy is one of the best ones I skimmed through in a long time.
## Why Jamendo
Musics licensed under Creative Commons licenses\* are available to listen without an account and available to download in high quality with an account. There almost isn't any popular song on Jamendo. But that is an oppportunity to discover new talents. It also has a nice ToS and Privacy Policy.
### I love DRM-free stuff
As a student living on pocket money, I don't have much of a budget for purchasing music. I am planning to spend 5$ every month on DRM-free musics instead of a streaming service with DRM. I like DRMless content because I know vendor is trusting me. Whenever a platform emposes DRM, I feel treated like a pirate who is expected to steal. No thanks to digital content pirates, I understand why a vendor would put DRM and it is sad that this is the reality. I just am happy that there still are DRM-free alternatives 🙃️

I don't believe pirating is ethical. Someone spent hours coming up with a poem or lyrics, someone else composed music for it, and someone else (probably) drank raw eggs to maintain her/his voice. I wouldn't want people get my hardwork for free unless I put it out there as a demo or as open source. Some people act like pirating is okay if the singer or band is rich. It isn't okay to pirate and I am not giving up on my principles to enjoy some music for free.

\* Most of the musics on Jamendo are licensed under Non Commercial licenses, such as [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0](https://www.jamendo.com/legal/creative-commons "read a little description here"). You need to purchase a commercial license to play them in your restaurant, bar, cafe, clothing store, convenience store, market, shopping mall, advertisement, podcast, YouTube/Vimeo/PeerTube video, movie, etc.
You can't play songs from your Spotify account either. Songs on Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube Music and other popular services are for personal listening only too, unless they specifically mention that it is okay to play a song in a venue in music's license. Pijama parties are okay I guess.

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>TL;DR : If you have SSD and need swap, you should use swapspace daemon for healthier SSD. Btw, you want SSD and you need swap.</p>
<p>Note: I expect you to be familiar with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory">RAM</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging#Unix_and_Unix-like_systems">swap</a> and concept of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging">paging</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the short edition:<br>
<strong>RAM</strong> is fast memory for currently running programs.<br>
<strong>Swap</strong> is kinda like backup RAM. In case of RAM is filling up, swap will be uyilized to move less often accessed data off the RAM.<br>
<strong>Paging</strong> is moving data between RAM and swap memory. It occurs when RAM is close to full and needs emptying into the swap or when a data in swap is needed in RAM.</p>
<p>Since swap is located on HDD or SSD, it is much slower than RAM and we want to utilize RAM as much as we can. But sometimes RAM fills up and computer runs into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_memory" title="Out Of Memory"><strong>OOM</strong></a> state. Even though it is slow, swap can be a life (or work) saver in such cases. </p>
<h3>Estimated Memory Speeds</h3>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Device Type</th>
<th>Speed (MB/s)</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>HDD</td>
<td>100</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SSD - SATA</td>
<td>560</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SSD - NVMe</td>
<td>2000-3000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>RAM DDR2</td>
<td>3000-8000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>RAM DDR3</td>
<td>8000-12000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>RAM DDR4</td>
<td>19000-35000</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Data of RAM speeds is from <a href="https://www.crucial.com/support/memory-speeds-compatability">this article of Crucial</a>. HDD and SSD speeds are commonly observed speeds. Not from the Crucial's testing.</p>
<p>You definitely want swap memory to avoid possible OOM issue. You also may want to use SSD for swap memory since it is much faster than HDD or your computer only has SSD. But SSDs have one weak spot. Storage blocks of the SSD that is being read and wrote 100s of times will fail. Thankfully SSDs got smarter. Instead of using a single block too often and causing it to die early, SSDs tend to utilize every block equally. This is called Garbage Collection. And together with <a href="https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=Q15wN8JC2L4" title="Techquickie video on overprovisioning">overprovisioning</a>, they increase longevity of the SSD.</p>
<p>I don't think fixed swap partitions and files are good for SSD's health. We need a system to dynamically allocate swap. So that swap file will be erased when notneeded and created in lesser degraded blocks when needed.</p>
<h1>Meet Swapspace</h1>
<p><a href="http://manpages.org/swapspace/8" title="read manpage">Swapspace</a> is a background service that understands swap needs and either creates or removes swap files on the fly.</p>
<p>Swapspace is available on many <em>local repos</em>, <em>AUR</em> and on <a href="https://github.com/Tookmund/Swapspace"><em>GitHub</em></a>. </p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: How aggressively the Kernel should use swap memory can be controlled via a value called swappiness. Read about <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/449691/what-is-swapiness-on-linux-and-how-to-change-it/">changing swappiness</a> for better RAM utilization.</p><!-- Comments -->

<p>As a student living on pocket money, I don't have much of a budget for purchasing music. I am planning to spend 5$ every month on DRM-free musics instead of a streaming service with DRM.

<p>I don't believe pirating is ethical. Someone spent hours coming up with a poem or lyrics, someone else composed music for it, and someone else (probably) drank raw eggs to maintain her/his voice. I wouldn't want people get my hardwork for free unless I put it out there as a demo or as open source. Some people act like pirating is okay if the singer or band is rich. It isn't okay to pirate and I am not giving up on my principles to enjoy some music for free.</p>

<p>* Most of the musics on Jamendo are licensed under Non Commercial licenses, such as <a href="https://www.jamendo.com/legal/creative-commons" title="read a little description here">CC BY-NC-SA 4.0</a>. You need to purchase a commercial license to play them in your restaurant, bar, cafe, clothing store, convenience store, market, shopping mall, advertisement, podcast, YouTube/Vimeo/PeerTube video, movie, etc.
You can't play songs from your Spotify account either. Songs on Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube Music and other popular services are for personal listening only too, unless they specifically mention that it is okay to play a song in a venue in music's license. Pijama parties are okay I guess.</p><!-- Comments -->

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>TL;DR : If you have SSD and need swap, you should use swapspace daemon for healthier SSD. Btw, you want SSD and you need swap.</p>
<p>Note: I expect you to be familiar with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory">RAM</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging#Unix_and_Unix-like_systems">swap</a> and concept of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging">paging</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the short edition:<br>
<strong>RAM</strong> is fast memory for currently running programs.<br>
<strong>Swap</strong> is kinda like backup RAM. In case of RAM is filling up, swap will be uyilized to move less often accessed data off the RAM.<br>
<strong>Paging</strong> is moving data between RAM and swap memory. It occurs when RAM is close to full and needs emptying into the swap or when a data in swap is needed in RAM.</p>
<p>Since swap is located on HDD or SSD, it is much slower than RAM and we want to utilize RAM as much as we can. But sometimes RAM fills up and computer runs into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_memory" title="Out Of Memory"><strong>OOM</strong></a> state. Even though it is slow, swap can be a life (or work) saver in such cases. </p>
<h3>Estimated Memory Speeds</h3>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Device Type</th>
<th>Speed (MB/s)</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>HDD</td>
<td>100</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SSD - SATA</td>
<td>560</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SSD - NVMe</td>
<td>2000-3000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>RAM DDR2</td>
<td>3000-8000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>RAM DDR3</td>
<td>8000-12000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>RAM DDR4</td>
<td>19000-35000</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Data of RAM speeds is from <a href="https://www.crucial.com/support/memory-speeds-compatability">this article of Crucial</a>. HDD and SSD speeds are commonly observed speeds. Not from the Crucial's testing.</p>
<p>You definitely want swap memory to avoid possible OOM issue. You also may want to use SSD for swap memory since it is much faster than HDD or your computer only has SSD. But SSDs have one weak spot. Storage blocks of the SSD that is being read and wrote 100s of times will fail. Thankfully SSDs got smarter. Instead of using a single block too often and causing it to die early, SSDs tend to utilize every block equally. This is called Garbage Collection. And together with <a href="https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=Q15wN8JC2L4" title="Techquickie video on overprovisioning">overprovisioning</a>, they increase longevity of the SSD.</p>
<p>I don't think fixed swap partitions and files are good for SSD's health. We need a system to dynamically allocate swap. So that swap file will be erased when notneeded and created in lesser degraded blocks when needed.</p>
<h1>Meet Swapspace</h1>
<p><a href="http://manpages.org/swapspace/8" title="read manpage">Swapspace</a> is a background service that understands swap needs and either creates or removes swap files on the fly.</p>
<p>Swapspace is available on many <em>local repos</em>, <em>AUR</em> and on <a href="https://github.com/Tookmund/Swapspace"><em>GitHub</em></a>. </p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: How aggressively the Kernel should use swap memory can be controlled via a value called swappiness. Read about <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/449691/what-is-swapiness-on-linux-and-how-to-change-it/">changing swappiness</a> for better RAM utilization.</p><!-- Comments -->

</footer><!-- /.post-info --> <p>I like listening to musics and I am not the only one. Just look at how many people are listening to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A" title="lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to on YouTube">LoFi music with the study girl</a> or look how many views <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ">this song</a> has. As a young adult, I remember the times the CDs were the king of music distribution. But they are long gone. Thanks to internet, digital music stores and music streaming services replaced CDs.<br>
So here I am, looking for the best music listening solution I can get. After a little search on the internet I came up with the below list of music stores or streaming services.</p>

<p>There are many options and above isn't an exhaustive list. Thankfully I have constraints to help me make more educated choice.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Availability</strong> (in my region) : Even though I can use VPN to appear on some other location on the face of Earth, my bank card will give my location up or won't be accepted 👎️</li>
<li><strong>DRM</strong> : I want to put music on my phone, computer and even my NextCloud to listen from anywhere. When I spent money on music, I don't want to stuck with whatever the vendor supports. I want no vendor lock-in or any other limitation. Those limitations are pushing many people to pirate 😥️</li>
<li><strong>Discoverability</strong> : Whenever there is a new music, I want to be able to find it.</li>
<li><strong>Options</strong> : Does it even has my jazz!</li>

<h2>Why BandCamp</h2>
<p>DRM free songs and musics to purchase and download in high quality. I skimmed over the Term of Services and I dind't notice any red flags for my privacy. It isn't the perfect service. Every artist isn't there and only some of the new songs appear there. But its ToS and Privacy Policy is one of the best ones I skimmed through in a long time.</p>
<h2>Why Jamendo</h2>
<p>Musics licensed under Creative Commons licenses* are available to listen without an account and available to download in high quality with an account. There almost isn't any popular song on Jamendo. But that is an oppportunity to discover new talents. It also has a nice ToS and Privacy Policy.</p>
<h3>I love DRM-free stuff</h3>
<p>As a student living on pocket money, I don't have much of a budget for purchasing music. I am planning to spend 5$ every month on DRM-free musics instead of a streaming service with DRM. I like DRMless content because I know vendor is trusting me. Whenever a platform emposes DRM, I feel treated like a pirate who is expected to steal. No thanks to digital content pirates, I understand why a vendor would put DRM and it is sad that this is the reality. I just am happy that there still are DRM-free alternatives 🙃️</p>

&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://bandcamp.com/"&gt;BandCamp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Why BandCamp&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DRM free songs and musics to purchase and download in high quality. I skimmed over the Term of Services and I dind't notice any red flags for my privacy. It isn't the perfect service. Every artist isn't there and only some of the new songs appear there. But its ToS and Privacy Policy is one of the best ones I skimmed through in a long time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Why Jamendo&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Musics licensed under Creative Commons licenses* are available to listen without an account and available to download in high quality with an account. There almost isn't any popular song on Jamendo. But that is an oppportunity to discover new talents. It also has a nice ToS and Privacy Policy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;I love DRM-free stuff&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a student living on pocket money, I don't have much of a budget for purchasing music. I am planning to spend 5$ every month on DRM-free musics instead of a streaming service with DRM. I like DRMless content because I know vendor is trusting me. Whenever a platform emposes DRM, I feel treated like a pirate who is expected to steal. No thanks to digital content pirates, I understand why a vendor would put DRM and it is sad that this is the reality. I just am happy that there still are DRM-free alternatives 🙃️&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Why not pirate &lt;img height="25em" width="auto" src="https://fosstodon.b-cdn.net/custom_emojis/images/000/083/931/original/a43b334e1ab006d2.png" alt="funny shaped thinking emoji"&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't believe pirating is ethical. Someone spent hours coming up with a poem or lyrics, someone else composed music for it, and someone else (probably) drank raw eggs to maintain her/his voice. I wouldn't want people get my hardwork for free unless I put it out there as a demo or as open source. Some people act like pirating is okay if the singer or band is rich. It isn't okay to pirate and I am not giving up on my principles to enjoy some music for free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* Most of the musics on Jamendo are licensed under Non Commercial licenses, such as &lt;a href="https://www.jamendo.com/legal/creative-commons" title="read a little description here"&gt;CC BY-NC-SA 4.0&lt;/a&gt;. You need to purchase a commercial license to play them in your restaurant, bar, cafe, clothing store, convenience store, market, shopping mall, advertisement, podcast, YouTube/Vimeo/PeerTube video, movie, etc.
You can't play songs from your Spotify account either. Songs on Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube Music and other popular services are for personal listening only too, unless they specifically mention that it is okay to play a song in a venue in music's license. Pijama parties are okay I guess.&lt;/p&gt;</content><category term="Tech"></category><category term="digitalcleansing"></category><category term="music"></category><category term="100DaysToOffload"></category></entry><entry><title>Swap on SSD done right</title><link href="https://murtezayesil.me/swap-on-ssd-done-right.html" rel="alternate"></link><published>2020-08-01T12:00:00+06:00</published><updated>2020-08-01T12:00:00+06:00</updated><author><name>Ali Murteza Yesil</name></author><id>tag:murtezayesil.me,2020-08-01:/swap-on-ssd-done-right.html</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;SSDs are fragile and swaps can be damaging.

Just look at how many people are listening to &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A" title="lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to on YouTube"&gt;LoFi music with the study girl&lt;/a&gt; or look how many views &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"&gt;this song&lt;/a&gt; has. As a young adult, I remember the times the CDs were the king of music distribution. But they are long gone. Thanks to internet, digital music stores and music streaming services replaced CDs.&lt;br&gt;
So here I am, looking for the best music listening solution I can get. After a little search on the internet I came up with the below list of music stores or streaming services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Online Music Stores&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Music Streaming Services&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.apple.com/itunes/" title="DRM"&gt;iTunes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://music.apple.com/" title="DRM"&gt;Apple Music&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://bandcamp.com/"&gt;BandCamp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://bandcamp.com/"&gt;BandCamp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://amazon.com" title="DRM"&gt;Amazon Store&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://music.amazon.com/" title="DRM"&gt;Amazon Music&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.emusic.com/" title="Limited selection but may use"&gt;eMusic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.spotify.com/" title="Not available"&gt;Spotify&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://bleep.com/" title="limited selection"&gt;Bleep&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://us.napster.com/" title="DRM"&gt;Napster&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://killedbygoogle.com/" title="Killed By Google - December 2020"&gt;Google Play Music&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://music.youtube.com/" title="Not available"&gt;YouTube Music&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.jamendo.com/"&gt;Jamendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.jamendo.com/"&gt;Jamendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.beatport.com/" title="not my jazz"&gt;BeatPort&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://tidal.com/" title="DRM"&gt;Tidal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are many options and above isn't an exhaustive list. Thankfully I have constraints to help me make more educated choice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Availability&lt;/strong&gt; (in my region) : Even though I can use VPN to appear on some other location on the face of Earth, my bank card will give my location up or won't be accepted 👎️&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DRM&lt;/strong&gt; : I want to put music on my phone, computer and even my NextCloud to listen from anywhere. When I spent money on music, I don't want to stuck with whatever the vendor supports. I want no vendor lock-in or any other limitation. Those limitations are pushing many people to pirate 😥️&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discoverability&lt;/strong&gt; : Whenever there is a new music, I want to be able to find it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Options&lt;/strong&gt; : Does it even has my jazz!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Finally here are my options&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Online music stores&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Streaming services&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://bandcamp.com/"&gt;BandCamp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.jamendo.com/"&gt;Jamendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.jamendo.com/"&gt;Jamendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>TL;DR : If you have SSD and need swap, you should use swapspace daemon for healthier SSD. Btw, you want SSD and you need swap.</p>
<p>Note: I expect you to be familiar with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory">RAM</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging#Unix_and_Unix-like_systems">swap</a> and concept of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging">paging</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the short edition:<br>
<strong>RAM</strong> is fast memory for currently running programs.<br>
<strong>Swap</strong> is kinda like backup RAM. In case of RAM is filling up, swap will be uyilized to move less often accessed data off the RAM.<br>
<strong>Paging</strong> is moving data between RAM and swap memory. It occurs when RAM is close to full and needs emptying into the swap or when a data in swap is needed in RAM.</p>
<p>Since swap is located on HDD or SSD, it is much slower than RAM and we want to utilize RAM as much as we can. But sometimes RAM fills up and computer runs into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_memory" title="Out Of Memory"><strong>OOM</strong></a> state. Even though it is slow, swap can be a life (or work) saver in such cases. </p>

<p>Data of RAM speeds is from <a href="https://www.crucial.com/support/memory-speeds-compatability">this article of Crucial</a>. HDD and SSD speeds are commonly observed speeds. Not from the Crucial's testing.</p>
<p>You definitely want swap memory to avoid possible OOM issue. You also may want to use SSD for swap memory since it is much faster than HDD or your computer only has SSD. But SSDs have one weak spot. Storage blocks of the SSD that is being read and wrote 100s of times will fail. Thankfully SSDs got smarter. Instead of using a single block too often and causing it to die early, SSDs tend to utilize every block equally. This is called Garbage Collection. And together with <a href="https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=Q15wN8JC2L4" title="Techquickie video on overprovisioning">overprovisioning</a>, they increase longevity of the SSD.</p>
<p>I don't think fixed swap partitions and files are good for SSD's health. We need a system to dynamically allocate swap. So that swap file will be erased when notneeded and created in lesser degraded blocks when needed.</p>

<h2>Why BandCamp</h2>
<p>DRM free songs and musics to purchase and download in high quality. I skimmed over the Term of Services and I dind't notice any red flags for my privacy. It isn't the perfect service. Every artist isn't there and only some of the new songs appear there. But its ToS and Privacy Policy is one of the best ones I skimmed through in a long time.</p>
<h2>Why Jamendo</h2>
<p>Musics licensed under Creative Commons licenses* are available to listen without an account and available to download in high quality with an account. There almost isn't any popular song on Jamendo. But that is an oppportunity to discover new talents. It also has a nice ToS and Privacy Policy.</p>
<h3>I love DRM-free stuff</h3>
<p>As a student living on pocket money, I don't have much of a budget for purchasing music. I am planning to spend 5$ every month on DRM-free musics instead of a streaming service with DRM. I like DRMless content because I know vendor is trusting me. Whenever a platform emposes DRM, I feel treated like a pirate who is expected to steal. No thanks to digital content pirates, I understand why a vendor would put DRM and it is sad that this is the reality. I just am happy that there still are DRM-free alternatives 🙃️</p>

<h2>Why not pirate <img height="25em" width="auto" src="https://fosstodon.b-cdn.net/custom_emojis/images/000/083/931/original/a43b334e1ab006d2.png" alt="funny shaped thinking emoji"></h2>
<p>I don't believe pirating is ethical. Someone spent hours coming up with a poem or lyrics, someone else composed music for it, and someone else (probably) drank raw eggs to maintain her/his voice. I wouldn't want people get my hardwork for free unless I put it out there as a demo or as open source. Some people act like pirating is okay if the singer or band is rich. It isn't okay to pirate and I am not giving up on my principles to enjoy some music for free.</p>
<hr>
<p>* Most of the musics on Jamendo are licensed under Non Commercial licenses, such as <a href="https://www.jamendo.com/legal/creative-commons" title="read a little description here">CC BY-NC-SA 4.0</a>. You need to purchase a commercial license to play them in your restaurant, bar, cafe, clothing store, convenience store, market, shopping mall, advertisement, podcast, YouTube/Vimeo/PeerTube video, movie, etc.
You can't play songs from your Spotify account either. Songs on Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube Music and other popular services are for personal listening only too, unless they specifically mention that it is okay to play a song in a venue in music's license. Pijama parties are okay I guess.</p><!-- Comments -->

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>TL;DR : If you have SSD and need swap, you should use swapspace daemon for healthier SSD. Btw, you want SSD and you need swap.</p>
<p>Note: I expect you to be familiar with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory">RAM</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging#Unix_and_Unix-like_systems">swap</a> and concept of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging">paging</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the short edition:<br>
<strong>RAM</strong> is fast memory for currently running programs.<br>
<strong>Swap</strong> is kinda like backup RAM. In case of RAM is filling up, swap will be uyilized to move less often accessed data off the RAM.<br>
<strong>Paging</strong> is moving data between RAM and swap memory. It occurs when RAM is close to full and needs emptying into the swap or when a data in swap is needed in RAM.</p>
<p>Since swap is located on HDD or SSD, it is much slower than RAM and we want to utilize RAM as much as we can. But sometimes RAM fills up and computer runs into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_memory" title="Out Of Memory"><strong>OOM</strong></a> state. Even though it is slow, swap can be a life (or work) saver in such cases. </p>

<h2>Why not pirate <img height="25em" width="auto" src="https://fosstodon.b-cdn.net/custom_emojis/images/000/083/931/original/a43b334e1ab006d2.png" alt="funny shaped thinking emoji"></h2>
<p>I don't believe pirating is ethical. Someone spent hours coming up with a poem or lyrics, someone else composed music for it, and someone else (probably) drank raw eggs to maintain her/his voice. I wouldn't want people get my hardwork for free unless I put it out there as a demo or as open source. Some people act like pirating is okay if the singer or band is rich. It isn't okay to pirate and I am not giving up on my principles to enjoy some music for free.</p>
<hr>
<p>* Most of the musics on Jamendo are licensed under Non Commercial licenses, such as <a href="https://www.jamendo.com/legal/creative-commons" title="read a little description here">CC BY-NC-SA 4.0</a>. You need to purchase a commercial license to play them in your restaurant, bar, cafe, clothing store, convenience store, market, shopping mall, advertisement, podcast, YouTube/Vimeo/PeerTube video, movie, etc.
You can't play songs from your Spotify account either. Songs on Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube Music and other popular services are for personal listening only too, unless they specifically mention that it is okay to play a song in a venue in music's license. Pijama parties are okay I guess.</p><!-- Comments -->

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microblogging" title="Read in more details on Wikipedia">Microblogging</a> is blogging smaller but usually more frequent updates. Microblogging platforms put some limitaions like the number of characters, photo size and video length in their platforms. Constraints make people to get creative to craft short and brief posts.<br>
These platforms take away the hustle of maintaining your blog and reduce the friction to start writing/sharing.</p>
<p>Do you know someone who uses a microblogging platform?<br>
I guess you do. I will go as far as saying that may be you are using a microblogging platform.<br>
Surprised? Don't be.<br>
Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, VK, Fediverse are just a few.</p>
<p>Every microblogging platform implements it differently.<br>
Twitter is a place where everybody can see everybody else's posts.<br>
Facebook is for only reading posts from people you know in real life.<br>
Instagram is for posting photos and short videos.<br>
Tumblr is for normal blogging first and microblogging in form of comments.<br>
Reddit is similar to Tumblr except that it is more categorized and structured imo.</p>
<p>All of the platforms I just mentioned, except Fediverse, has something in common. <strong>They are centralized</strong>. Centralized means aech of these services have their own data centers where they aggregate credentials and data of their users. These data centers are rich in user data and appealing target for cyber criminals. Adding fuel to the fire, some of those companies put weak cyber security systems in place and couldn't very large data breaches.</p>
<h3>Fediverse is different</h3>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Fediverse is decentralized. There are many small servers (aka instances) communicating with each other. They collectively form Fediverse.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instances forming the Fediverse can run as different platforms. Therefore Fediverse isn't only about microblogging.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<hr>
<p>Even though I said Fediverse is different from other microblogging platforms, threat of cyber attacks are very possible. Every instance carries user credentials and user data of its own users. If an instance was to be cyber attacked, only the users of that particular instance would be affected while rest of Fediverse function unaffected.</p>
<hr>
<h2>Mastodon</h2>
<p>I heard about Mastodon in a <a href="https://irlpodcast.org/season4/episode6/" title="Decentralize It - S4/E6">IRL Podcast</a>. I just wanted to try that twitter like thing that somehow didn't have a central place to collect all the tweets everybody was posting. I created an account on some instance and tried it for few days.<br>
What I understood at the time was that, there are servers running Mastodon system and Mastodon systems on different servers can communicate with each other to inform about cross platform messages. Fediverse is formed when instances start sommunicating with each other.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe id='ivplayer' width='640' height='360' src='https://invidio.us/embed/IPSbNdBmWKE?autoplay=0' style='border:none;'></iframe>
</div>
<p>For example: I am @murteza on strawberry.garden instance and I need help to collect strawberries. When I post "We need @batman@gotham.city to help us collect strawberries🍓", @batman from gotham.city instance will receive a notification from @murteza@strawberry.garden. </p>
<hr>
<h1>Deploying a Mastodon instance for my family</h1>
<p>I want to become a SysAdmin and know all about this server stuff. So I decided to deploy servers that I will need to maintain and learn about system administration during the process. I believe this is a good excuse to stay indoors during pandemic 😷️ (Emoji doesn't imply that I am sick, I am not. I also don't want to become one)</p>
<p>I deployed a NextCloud server for my family and a Jitsi server too. Why not add Mastodon to do pile as well. I rented a 5$/month server and a 100GB storage for database and user uploaded content for another 5$/month.</p>
<p><a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/" title="What is Mastodon?">Mastodon's documentation</a>'s installation guide part expects a SysAdmin to know more than I do. I also got help from <a href="https://computingforgeeks.com/install-mastodon-on-ubuntu-with-letsencrypt-ssl-certificate/" title="Install Mastodon on Ubuntu 20.04/18.04 With Lets Encrypt SSL Certificate">another guide</a>. But after try installing Mastodon twice and rollback once, <a href="https://yesil.club/">I got a working instance</a>. Since it is an instance for my family. I am not allowing account creation from outside, but only via invite.</p>
<p>Next piece of the puzzle will be backuping database and user data. I don't know what is the best way to approach this but we shall see.</p><!-- Comments -->

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>I like listening to musics and I am not the only one. Just look at how many people are listening to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A" title="lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to on YouTube">LoFi music with the study girl</a> or look how many views <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ">this song</a> has. As a young adult, I remember the times the CDs were the king of music distribution. But they are long gone. Thanks to internet, digital music stores and music streaming services replaced CDs.<br>
So here I am, looking for the best music listening solution I can get. After a little search on the internet I came up with the below list of music stores or streaming services.</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Online Music Stores</th>
<th>Music Streaming Services</th>

<tbody>
<tr>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>There are many options and above isn't an exhaustive list. Thankfully I have constraints to help me make more educated choice.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Availability</strong> (in my region) : Even though I can use VPN to appear on some other location on the face of Earth, my bank card will give my location up or won't be accepted 👎️</li>
<li><strong>DRM</strong> : I want to put music on my phone, computer and even my NextCloud to listen from anywhere. When I spent money on music, I don't want to stuck with whatever the vendor supports. I want no vendor lock-in or any other limitation. Those limitations are pushing many people to pirate 😥️</li>
<li><strong>Discoverability</strong> : Whenever there is a new music, I want to be able to find it.</li>
<li><strong>Options</strong> : Does it even has my jazz!</li>
</ol>
<h1>Finally here are my options</h1>

<h2>Why BandCamp</h2>
<p>DRM free songs and musics to purchase and download in high quality. I skimmed over the Term of Services and I dind't notice any red flags for my privacy. It isn't the perfect service. Every artist isn't there and only some of the new songs appear there. But its ToS and Privacy Policy is one of the best ones I skimmed through in a long time.</p>
<h2>Why Jamendo</h2>
<p>Musics licensed under Creative Commons licenses* are available to listen without an account and available to download in high quality with an account. There almost isn't any popular song on Jamendo. But that is an oppportunity to discover new talents. It also has a nice ToS and Privacy Policy.</p>
<h3>I love DRM-free stuff</h3>
<p>As a student living on pocket money, I don't have much of a budget for purchasing music. I am planning to spend 5$ every month on DRM-free musics instead of a streaming service with DRM. I like DRMless content because I know vendor is trusting me. Whenever a platform emposes DRM, I feel treated like a pirate who is expected to steal. No thanks to digital content pirates, I understand why a vendor would put DRM and it is sad that this is the reality. I just am happy that there still are DRM-free alternatives 🙃️</p>
