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.
@keefmarshall hi! and yes I was actually trying to reply to the post in the instructions but couldn't figure out how to navigate to it from within my own instance. I sure there's a way :blobpats:
@keefmarshall let's hit it. I would love to be a part of the webring. however, it may take some days to reflect on my page, as the build times are long and I haven't learned if it's possible to build without re-encoding the entire site from scratch.
some terms seem to be spreading from the crypto sphere into more general conversation and one of them is the suffix -pilled. I have been hearing it around enough I keep almost using it by mistake. Is there a better term (slang preferred) to refer to someone who has entirely bought into the propaganda of a thing?
@liaizon a non-lingual equivalent might be the waving of one’s hand back and forth in front of and close to your face/eyes in a horizontal motion. It’s close to ‘brainwashed’ but also allows for some interpretive ‘madness’
@sehe@tantacrul@classicalmusic amazing video. thank you. as a Dorico user, I've been following the MuseScore development with much interest. I am also impressed by recent MuseScore projects that have integration with their pro sound libraries.
I really want more organization and structure to my life and I haven't found any methods that seem to work for me. I want to write more but get so utterly distracted by a million other things the second I see a screen that I end up just reading or researching some random topic instead of writing about things that I already know
@liaizon it sounds like distraction is the main issue that may be preventing you from writing. you must have tried cultivating the self-discipline to write and only write for some uninterrupted hours ? I would explore this further. there’s no system, only action. i take inspiration from the great pianists for this type of thing. they basically sat down and worked tirelessly until the flaws in their playing went away.
#China's empty real estate is the poster child of wasteful spending. Nothing else comes close I think. To quote China's bureau of statistics, they've got somewhere between 1-3 billion unoccupied houses/units that they'll never be able to sell and that even their entire population cannot fill. That's.... staggering. That's 5 trillion dollars of value thrown into a black hole. Something will have to give. The financial market abhors a vacuum this big.
@liaizon@raphael mainly would like to grok the rails needed for a functional youtube/vimeo clone, without getting into the video streaming data handling quite yet
Just spent 20 frustrating minutes figuring out how to setup a new S3 bucket that could be used to publicly serve static files, despite having devoted an unreasonable amount of time in the past to solving that exact same problem when I built https://s3-credentials.readthedocs.io/
@simon i feel your pain. I am similarly re-configuring a local dev environment and discovering all sorts of changes that need to be made before deploying to production. feels like i’m doing a ton of work in order to actually do work.
👴🏻Foolish African leaders listening to Putin! He's just pandering to them! All he does is bring up how colonialism brutalized their countries and overthrew their governments, then names their fallen leaders, and then promises to help them lead independent futures! This is China's playbook too!
🧔🏿♂️Yeah it's pretty transparent. 🤔 Y'know, we could do all that too: point out how colonialism harmed them, celebrate the leaders we killed, and promise to help them lead independent futures?
@mekkaokereke thank you for shedding some light on this. i thought it was wild how Russia was offering them free grain, to then hear some Heads of State say they aren’t looking for ‘assistance’ … offering what seemed like solid skepticism and rebukes of such an offer.
If you have notes in Evernote it might be a good time to make sure they are safely backed up! Evernote looks to have fired almost all its employees. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36609641
@liaizon ooo it’s time for an obligatory #TiddlyWiki plug … I like knowing that the data is mine, the data is local, and the data is endlessly configurable
