the laptop I got Windowmaker & Debian on is my partner’s old laptop from 2005 😂 Can’t believe it still works. I got it running as a home server with Jellyfin 💜

I aim to in the future, but for the moment I’m on windows. I only have one machine good enough for both audio and video work, so can’t take any risks!
The big sticking point for me is VSTs, in particular Waves. I heard someone who got it working with yabridge so I’ll be trying that when I can. Otherwise, Reaper is on Linux so yayyy!
And I heard Pipewire is pretty smooth, are you on that? How have you found it?

yep! 😖 Just some code to filter out specific words, that’ll work uugghhhh

yeah I never had a goodreads, so I’m all fresh with it! It’s great for me cause I’m a massive public library user, and this is nearly like having a shelf with all those books… or it will be when I’m finished with it 😆

Apologies, I will likely be posting this link every week for a loooong while. I’ll tag it #subsGoal in future so you can filter.
If you are struggling yourself: I more than understand — we can’t afford to support all the art we like. Other ways to help, if you feel able to:
- boost / repost / share
- tell your friends about my stuff!
- stream or watch online
Thanks for reading 💜

My dream is 185 subscribers on https://mustics.com
With 185 people chipping in £3.80 pm I can live frugally without another min-wage job! All I want is to have time & energy for music, videos, writing, Fedi stuff & SysAdmin.
Can I find 185 fans of super weird mutant R&B music, and anti-capitalist performance art? Who knows!
My stuff: https://social.gravitons.org/@mmmeljoann/statuses/01J7NDT52D47D0V29MWYG2A1BZ
We are at 3 / 185 😅

Ok I’ve updated the #Faircamp how-to blog post to make it clearer about Catalog vs Artist ENOs, and tagging (I hope).
https://meljoann.com/posts/faircamp/
Now to update my actual faircamp… there have been quite a few releases since I did this last! 🫢 Also I’ve embedded the album art in the WAV files, which I didn’t know you could even do. So whooooop!

there is Funkwhale, and Masto, GTS (and I presume others) natively support audio.
So it seems like we just need a front end, apps and some integrations (like ingesting audio streams from elsewhere)?

My ideal Fedi music app would have:
- music player (obvs) that plays in background
- sign into your preferred Fedi account
- One-click to follow artists
- iOS and Android apps
Tabs:
1. “Radio” for Radio Free Fedi, and in the future, curated shows
2. “Favourites & Following”. Genre-filterable list of albums, or singles playlist. This comes from what you’ve:
- favourited/bookmarked to listen later
- musicians, labels and curators you follow
I will never stop posting this idea! 👺🎀

I’m enjoying #jellyfin + Finamp app so much. And my little home server. And getting to share this with my friend (in Ireland) who built up this shared mp3 collection with me back in the day 🥰

Hey do you know that YouTuber Techmoan? That’s darn relaxing viewing too 😆

How do people find interesting events in #London? I’ll be in next week and might like to take in an experimental gig.
For #Brighton, btw, we have https://brightoneyeball.wordpress.com/ (maintained by local legend Geoff from Spirit of Gravity 💜)

Totes. Damn like if the Spotify algo is gonna rule the world, let’s at least direct people to underrated artists…
Like meeeeeee 👻

My mate @npub1yzf…krge is back on Fedi. He’s an artist manager (my manager!) and music PR person. Let’s give him a warm re-welcome 🫡💖 #introduction
Dwayne is one of those rare souls in the music industry who actually genuinely loves music… He’s a super talented communicator with actual guts and principles. So naturally the Irish music industry is giving him a hard time 🫠 Big, big love 💗💜💜

Fedi hive-mind! Any recommendations for #peertube channels for old public domain movies / feature films / TV?
Gonna bookmark a couple for my own watchings, and get our https://tv.gravitons.org federated too…
