  • One of my “modern” folk song is about exactly this phenomenon.

    Edit: here it is, if someone is interested, it’s an old-styled, descending, parlando rubato hungarian folk song. I noted it down using solmization.

             A
      2/4||: la,/8 mi/8 mi/8 re/8 | mi/4+ mi/8 | ti,/8 do/8 re/8 mi/8 | ti,/4 la,/4 | ti,/2* :|
             B
         ||: do/8 do/8 ti,/8 la,/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/4 | ti,/2* | do/8 do/8 do/8 re/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/8 | ti,/2* |
             C
         || so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 | so,/4* do/8 ta,/8* | la,/2** ||
    

    (the comma after the solmization indicates the note being in a lower octave. Plus sign after a not length value means it’s dotted. Asteriks means fermata. Also, there is one strange solmization note (used in relative solmization) which I marked as “ta”, it’s a flat ti.)

    And the lyrics (in hungarian)

    “Várakozom én a százötvenegyes buszra, ( A )
    Kezemben készen a sodort cigaretta, ( A )
    Meg is gyújtom azon nyomban, ( B )
    Szippantok belőle hosszan, ( B )
    Ah, de megjött már az a busz.” ( C )

    Which translates to this (I used ChatGPT for the translating, told it to be a bit more… free or poetic or idk):

    “Standing at the stop, the one-fifty-one in sight,
    In my hand, a cigarette rolled tight.
    I light it up, breathe in the smoke,
    A long, deep breath, with every toke,
    Ah, but now the bus is here, just right.”



  • I used to use Ubuntu, but nowadays I just go with Debian for servers (as well), but you said you wish to choose something else, so I can’t give you any meaningful inputs…

    I don’t know how real the outdated packages threat, but I would assume, a server never really wants the bleeding edge software and Debian usually gets the critical security updates and patches.

    But I’m no expert.

    It is true that Bookworm is kinda old now, though.
