I'm nearly certain I've posted about this before, but it's coming in clutch for me again right now and want to give it another shoutout. If you suffer from #tinnitus and sometimes have trouble tuning it out, give this a shot. It's a customizable noise generator that uses various nighttime bug chirps to naturally mask the sound. Your mileage may vary but it's been a true sanity saver for me. https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/ultrasonicNoiseGenerator.php

Summer Night — Ultra-Sonic Ambience Generator

Don't be fooled by the fun factor of this noise generator, and by the fact that we use natural sounds instead of synthetic test tones. The whole challenge was to find in nature the exact sounds needed to build a serious hearing test that will challenge the last octave of the human hearing.

@PeterMLittle@mas.to That sounds absolutely devastating, especially for it to be that sudden and disruptive. I'm so sorry you've had to deal with that. :( I feel like I'm weirdly lucky in that mine kicked in at some point as a kid (never have figured out exactly when or why), so I don't remember true silence well enough to miss it as badly as I otherwise would. Maybe one day science finds a way to give us our peace back, and til then, hopefully we can all find some relief with stuff like this.

@lashman This looks like a fantastic resource! :pogchamp: I'll definitely be spending more time checking this out after work later and sending it to a bunch of dev friends.

@veronica@explains.social I second all of this, Debian's great! It's the first distro I've run nearly full time on my desktop for several years now. I feel like I was able to comfortably learn a lot of Linux fundamentals without getting too in over my head because it's so stable and yet flexible.
