(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
There is so much more music on the #faircamp webring than appears at first look. Many of these are label sites with many artists, each with many releases.
.. and a quick reminder that the web ring is open to anyone with a Faircamp, or similar, site. I've seen a few new ones spring up recently, you don't have to wait for an invite, just get in touch!
If you feel the need to give me some money, you may consider ordering a real cassette here : https://ko-fi.com/s/8473028f56
If you want to give me some money just because you somehow enjoy my music, I can guarrantee I smile at the first euro/dollar/pound/franc that is dropped here : https://ko-fi.com/johannbourquenez
As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist (but bonus points for supporting Bandcampers today, as it's the last one for a while).
Simply make a direct comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!
@axwax I can't resist plugging this one more time.. my new chillout EP Sea · Sky · Clouds was released this week and you can now get it on #Mirlo as well as #Faircamp:
Long in the making, now it's official: #faircamp is an awardee in the latest @EC_NGI NGI0 Entrust program round! With their support, I'll be able to give a few months of full dedication to the project in 2024 to work on some really hard architectural and design problems. \o/
Here's the project scope in a nutshell: "The aims within [the Faircamp 1.0 project] are to address usability, accessibility and cultural concerns, to improve documentation, to implement missing core architecture components and complete the embedding functionality, as well as complementary bugfixing and smaller feature additions."
Featured image is today's latest addition to the faircamp universe, @mewsse's brand new site https://mewsse.io/ featuring Darksynth/Synthwave/Ambient and experimental tracks!
Notable changes¹: Introducing "Unlisted Releases"² (only visible to those given the private link), Polish translations (thanks Damian Szetela!), Option to disable waveforms³, Prevent almost all layout shifts during page load (thank you @fennifith!), Prevent search engine crawling of non-public pages (thanks @dried for the intel!), More efficient image resizing algorithm and ~25% faster pure-rust image processing, Text direction automatically set based on language
Debian/Arch packages are out already, macOS brew update as well!
In related news, since a few days it's possible to financially support my work on faircamp via Ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/simonrepp) and Liberapay (https://liberapay.com/simonrepp), thanks to everyone who nudged this and those who already donated now and before - much appreciated!
The brew folks are on fire, as of one hour after release, #faircamp 0.14.0 seems to be available for macOS via brew as well! Kudos and thanks to FX Coudert for the approval!
The upcoming #faircamp release will feature "unlisted releases", that is, you can add the flag "unlisted" to the release manifest/section to hide it from all publicly accessible pages, while still being able to visit the page if you know the permalink.
There are some minor implications for label mode though, which I'd be happy to have double-checked - if you're a (current or potential) faircamp site operator, do you have any thoughts on this?
"An unlisted release is never visible on the home/index page.
In label mode there are some additional intricacies: An artist that has only unlisted releases is not visible on the home/index page, but in turn, all of these unlisted releases are visible on the artist page, as the artist page itself is implicitly unlisted then. If however, an artist has even just a single listed release, it becomes visible on the home/index page, and on the artist page itself all unlisted releases are not visible anymore."
🧵 …abgesehen auf den oben hingewiesenen Lösungen, für User und Künstler, zusätzliche Daten freundliche Audio streaming im Internet.
Da gibt es noch Faircamp und @mirlo um als Underground Band/Künster*in im Internet sich zu präsentieren und hörber zu sein.
I spent all day on the website¹ today, most notably adding adaptive dark/light theming, improving accessibility and responsive behavior, cleaning up the overall design, and changing the screenshots on the page, now featuring some of the beautiful sites you folks have made (instead of the previous, semi-fictional sites I used :)). Featured artist/label sites currently are @mxv, @DaforLynx, Bonk Knob Records, @johann, @controlfreak, DX Complex, @samae and @yonder - I included links to your pages with the screenshots - of course let me know if you'd rather not be featured. I'll occasionally replace the featured screenshots in the future so more sites can get into the spotlight (hint: I'd be especially happy to feature more pages with customized themes, especially light/contrasty/colorful ones :))
A new release is just around the corner which will feature polish translations contributed by Damian Szetela, the option to disable waveforms , a ~25% speedup for (pure-rust) image processing and some other smaller updates and fixes.
The stars seem to align for a very active summer of faircamp development, more on that potentially very soon. (for the next weeks I'm all-in on Hyper 8 development still though :))
What level of devs knowledge do I need to install faircamp? I use Windows, I installed Ubuntu, the terminal always gave an error, even following the guide. Do I need a lot of storage space to install Docker?
