under the now-15 year old youtube video for the Large Hadron Rap, there is a link to the stems: the vocals and the backing track with and without Stephen Hawking’s voice.

however, these files seem to be lost to time: the server returns 404 and the Internet Archive Wayback Machine only has the index page saved. does anybody happen to have these torrented somewhere? i doubt it but i NEED this

boosts appreciated!

nixpkgs has a NixOS option for setting up akkoma. however, because of akkoma’s directory structure, by default you only have two options: either set up everything declaratively, which includes static files and emoji, meaning you can’t edit those from admin-fe, or compile the frontends by hand, which is explicitly what i use NixOS to avoid.

after a few hours of working on it i figured out a hack! this compiles your frontends, places them in current-system/sw/lib/akkoma/frontends, which you can then symlink to your static directory, wherever you choose to place it.
