    It'll go to Lemmy. There's already lemmynsfw as an instance and it's slowly loading up with communities, nobody who is on that instance will care in any way if other instances don't federate with it.

    Do you have a model number for your deck?

    If nothing is working but when you actuate a button it sounds like something is spinning up then my first look would be at the belts.

    Even if they have not perished completely I would expect that they have stretched or hardened to the point where they are not engaging correctly.

    Depending on the make and model of your device you can probably order belt set for it and then go about replacing them and relubricating the moving parts where required.

    I think a good soundtrack is often one you don't notice because it becomes part of the scene, I'd also throw in there:

    Tron Legacy by Daft Punk
    The Godfather
    Raiders of the Lost Ark which may be controversial but if you watch it and pay attention to the soundtrack you begin to realise that it behaves just like another character on the screen

    And one I'm not sure of but I think is a worthy contender would be Dune.
