Snowdrift.coop is still working to get launched, and we've made huge progress in charting the path forward. You can help too!

New blog post "What Snowdrift Needs to Launch"

Finally it was my turn to get a vaccine too.
Quite straight forward and painless.
I was given the janssen one, so no 2nd round next month needed.

Please get yours too, and eventually we can all get together again safely. 🤗

@nicemicro @unfa by being very selective on the content that is hosted there. my instance is not open (though I would make an exception for unfa)

that said, it is a bit pricey at 40eur/month, but it handles all the stuff for me and kxstudio, so I think it is worth it.
from personal website, to nextcloud, to peertube, to gitea, to rocketchat, to mastodon.
and seems like I can still easily add a few more things if needed.

@unfa If they are CC-0/public-domain yes! would be very glad to. Otherwise I will keep looking.

@y6nH @unfa none of these licenses are good for audio.
requiring to give attribution makes things a whole lot complicated.
when you finally pick the IR, instruments, etc to use you need to get the credits right for each of them...
I plan to ship those with other software, so I would put the burden on getting attribution right on the user...
yeah this is nitpicking, but on commercial products we can't afford to risk anything.

Nils wrote about this quite clearly at hilbricht.net/foss-sampled-ins

@unfa entry to underground bunker.
though it is missing the stairs...

@unfa nah, all is fine.
My mastodon instance runs on the same server, so if you see me posting it means everything is still fine.

The channel is slowly being populated

crypto is short for "cryptography"

if you want a shorter word for "cryptocurrency", the word you are looking for is "ponzi"

An argument against client-side decorations (CSD) as a picture.

Can you guess which applications use CSD and which ones use SSD?

The inconsistency on these commercial applications is a constant annoyance...

@hoergen I am limiting the videos to 1080p. 4K seems unnecessary here..

My poor little server, so much ffmpeg importing @unfa 's videos 😂 😂 😂

@deerbard @unfa programming 😂
but... as long as unfa keeps using Linux, I think it is only a matter of time until we see some python here and there haha

@sjaehn no, for shipping with a commercial product without worries.

typical CC-by license makes the music you produce using those works (samples, IR files, etc) also bound by the same CC license, which is terrible to give to users freely.

I am looking for stuff that is basically public domain, where I can remix, modify, rename, repackage, whatever.
Some good CC-0 sample libraries exist, but I am unable to find IR files licenses similarly.

@unfa Let me try to convince you.
This little piece of code: github.com/falkTX/falktx-web/b
Generates this: falktx.com/files/cv.pdf

There are many latex templates out there, mine comes from one of those and just tweaked a bit.
It is nice not having to care about layout (after some initial setup).
I can keep adding/altering stuff and nothing will break.

Sorry for the self-plug 😝

@unfa inkscape? I think the answer instead is latex 😂

Anyone knows of a good collection of Reverb IR files that are CC-0/public-domain licensed?

@unfa great, I will start (re)uploading your stuff in the background while doing other tasks then.
I will create a "unfa" user on the server, so it is more clear videos are yours, not mine.

and to be fair and clear, I am perfectly fine with hosting the videos as long as you want them.
I just dont wanna make any promises regarding bandwith because I simply do not know how big of a performance and network usage hit this will generate. the server has 1.4TB of free disk space, so that part is fine

@joeligj12 @unfa Tenacity works just fine as a mini-play with Audacity name.
Why does the name need to sound like audio software?
Here is a list of names for stuff I created which are all audio tools:
- Catia
- Claudia
- Carla
- JackAss
- Nekobi

Let's also not forget the most famous audio plugin suite in Linux, appropriately named "Calf".

Anyway, out of the audacity forks I have seen, one is obviously not like the others, meme-ing wise. You easily can tell which

@porru @unfa ah neat, I am going to do an experiment with youtu.be/IYwaZTdlzk4 just as a test case then...

It is now uploaded at peertube.kx.studio/videos/watc

@unfa if it is okay with you, I can create a channel dedicated to your videos on this instance. no promises on how long I can keep this up, since I didnt stress test the server yet. can even give you a user if you prefer that

@unfa I can place them on peertube.kx.studio/ if you give me permission. Do you still have the original files store somewhere so I can rehost? or downloading via `youtube-dl -f bestaudio+bestvideo` is fine?
