i fell in love with running my own network services after becoming familiar with linux and finding the selfhosted subreddit when i was in high school. at the beginning of 2020 i moved back in with my parents due to the trifecta of losing my hearing, dropping out of college, and the US' inadequate response to the COVID-19 pandemic fucking everything up, so i had lots of time and the privilege to hide in my room and mess around with computers.

i used to do that thing where i would listen to the same 20-or-so songs on shuffle (rotating them in and out over time of course), all day every day, from as early as i can remember to twenty-two years old when my hearing was taken from me. i've become really attached to the memory of music since then, so in this post i will take a brief look back at some of the songs i used to listen to, broken down by era or influence as best as i can, in order to share some nostalgia with you!
