Only one song for now, hoping to add some more!

Neocaridina davidi is a freshwater shrimp originating from eastern China and northern Taiwan and introduced in the rest of Taiwan, Japan, and Hawaii, which is commonly kept in aquaria. The natural coloration of the shrimp is green-brown. There are a wide range of colors such as red, yellow, orange, green, blue, violet, black, etc., however, the red morph is more frequently sold. --Wikipedia

Neocaridina are a great aquarium pet, and one of my favorites to keep. I'd recommend newer aquarium owners to start with a slightly larger tank, since the water parameters will be more stable, but they will be just fine in nano aquariums. I'm keeping fire red cherry shrimp in this tank, illustrated on the left - they're from a 'skittles' tank, though, so expect some odd colors in the future!

For more information on keeping freshwater shrimp, check out this guide written by BucePlants, or this page from The Shrimp Farm.

Planted aquariums are the superior choice for a home aquarium. The natural plants look more beautiful than plastic, and help with keeping the ecosystem in check.
The craft of designing and caring for planted aquariums is called Aquascaping.

Many plants available to aquarium hobbyists are easily kept in normal setups (with proper lighting and fertilizer, of course!), but some require much more nutrients. CO2 injection is planned for this tank, but is not currently operational.		 3d render of rocks and plants, with a co2 diffuser.
3d render of a computer, running debian, sending information to the world wide web. I am running an instance of Owncast, an open source tool to selfhost streams, on a computer running Debian 11. Duckdns and Caddy are used for dynamicDNS and SSL certificates, respectively. This stream should be active during lights-on hours from 11AM EST to 9PM EST.

Real talk? Just rent a server in the cloud or use Twitch LOL. Considering how the entire origin of the internet was based on self-hosting, i'm honestly baffled with how frustrating this whole experience was.
like, imagine if you needed to spend two weeks prepping to make a fire. We have been making fire for ages! Why aren't there any easy tutorials to make a fire!? Ahem.

If you have any questions about this, email me if you must, but you'll definitely do better talking to a proper programmer :P
