Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Module files

Module files (MOD) are simply MIDIs except with embedded soundfonts. They are usually associated with the demoscene culture. I mostly heard them from keygens which a website apparently collects. One of the biggest public archive for MOD files you can find is The Mod Archive.

To play MOD files, you have to install a player like QMPlay2, MPD server with the modplug plugin installed, and mpv. Some of the primary libraries to keep in mind when considering MOD files playback is libopenmpt and libmodplug.

If you want to create MOD files, OpenMPT is a good primary choice. Being a tracker, it could present different experience from a digital audio workstation (DAW) like Ardour, LMMS, Zrythm, and FL Studio.
