This week I'm officially beginning my work on #faircamp in the scope of the Faircamp 1.0 grant through #NGI0 Entrust @NGIZero, financed by @EC_NGI, which will span the next months throughout summer and early fall 2024 at least.
Working together with the people at NLnet foundation to set everything up has been a blast so far and I'm very grateful to be given this opportunity. <3 Everyone of you who use, support, contribute to, and spread the news about faircamp have made this possible as well, so thank you all!
First developments this week are the introduction of complicance with FSFE's https://reuse.software/ in the codebase, yesterday's release of a stable/version-locked AUR package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/faircamp), setting up a dedicated "Feature suggestions" thread in the issue tracker (https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/issues/90 - please read the fine print ;)), and some bugfixing work with support from @lislegaard which will go right into the next release. Excited to be back in the lab! \o/
You can now find ”Living The Dream”, my official #fedivision2024 entry which made the top 10 (at number 9) out of 72 tracks \o/, at the following fine locations:
after much configuration and long build times, I have managed to upload the 130+ albums from my :bandcamp: Bandcamp page to Faircamp, the amazing site generator by @freebliss for music catalogs by artists and/or labels.
@gavcloud generally speaking any changes made that do not alter the streaming or download formats requested (so for instance changes of description texts, site theme, etc.) should build within mere seconds. Asides for future updates of faircamp that might mandate retranscoding, you should not face any long transcoding times for a while now (if you're happy with your audio formats and don't want to change them for the time being of course!). If you observe anything counter to what I'm describing let me know, then it's a bug. ;) @keefmarshall
@gavcloud this is amazing, I think this must be the largest faircamp site in existence (at least that I'm aware of). Well done and let me know if there's any observations on what would (have) made the process easier for you. I'm happy to improve things for handling such large sites!
Le petit écosystème de musique libre qui se développe sur le #fedivers, autour de #radioFreeFedi, #fedivision, #Faircamp, #Mirlo et d’autres est le parfait exemple de ce qu’il faudrait faire dans un maximum de domaines. Contourner les multinationales, créer du lien, de l’entraide, du circuit court.
Si vous le pouvez, au lieu de donner du fric au géants du show-business, donnez des sous à @radiofreefedi ou @mirlo (une coopérative prometteuse) ou directement aux artistes.
@sknob
Prochain achat prévu ici pour le Bandcamp Friday. Ce sera mon deuxième achat en "circuit court" seulement, le dernier datait d'il y a environ 20 ans 😆
Ocarina of Time (Super Guitar Bros). Album disponible à l'écoute et en clip intégral sur YouTube, mais vu le niveau musical, un achat CD se justifie totalement à mes yeux. @mirlo@radiofreefedi@Looping
So if you haven't checked it out yet now is the perfect time to do so, and if you like it as much as I do, grab yourself a copy - the new song should then just appear automagically next Friday!
While I'm listening to the whole #Fedivision2024 playlist (more thoughts on that later!) I uploaded my "BBB (Big Boomer Bænd)" song (code [DEEP] on the #Fedivision website) on my #Faircamp instance. It's free to download in all its FLAC glory 😁
I haven’t shilled my band here in quite a long time. We haven’t been doing much this last couple of years to be honest as the singer has a wee baby but we’ll get round to some new bits eventually.
Who's got music they want me to check out? Send me your links!
Up to 15 mins worth of music, hosted on a service that allows payments and/or messages directly to the artists (self hosted, #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, @mirlo, jam.coop, SoundCloud, YouTube, etc but NOT Spotify, Tidal etc).
Oh and you have to follow me in some respect (I'll follow back! Looking for community, not "fans" or whatever).
(not yet included are the singles, remixes and #fedivision entries from '22 and '23. these will eventually find a home on their own respective albums 😊) #music#noai#ccmusic
