The long sought #LinuxAudio Holy Grail of running #JackD applications like #Supercollider in #rpi4b (and presumably everywhere) #Pipewire is so incredibly simple yet so widely unknown:
Step 1: get rid of jackd you don't need it.
and you're done!
Here's what you do instead: pw-jack -r 44100 sclang

Well, I've totally killed it now, and not even sure what I did. I was following the pre-requisites and /thought/ I had enabled the fpm pixelfed.ext file, but first it required iconv that required "composer require symfony/polyfill-iconv" and thereafter my #Pixelfed is dead. Quite dead, and no clue where to go from here.

I propose Dijkstra's Law: if you don't throw the first program away, the computer will. To be fair, after decades, there's a lot of junk in the old #Emacs config, but I'm still trying to figure out how I did those auto-completes with the pop-up that let me just type fragments. I thought it was helm…

2024-07-30 00:33:02

I have very nearly almost got #Pixelfed working, and the #PixelDroid app let me login, but there's a problem with images:
online guides recommended running under a pixelfed acct, fine, but apache2 runs under www-data, ok, I let pixelfed be in the www-data group that I then chgrp all files to be, make everything 'system' group readable, and everything dynamic is group writable.
Sadly the Apache2 part creates '_esm.t3' branches 0700 for images.
New puzzle: can that be 0770?

2024-07-28 21:14:13

very sorry, but you will need to allow pop-ups for this one. no need to worry, it does clean up after itself, but in the meantime it is a music video like none other.

#mobilizon is version 4.7.0, yet offers no facility to change the heavily branded homepage? The docs do say customization is not-yet-implemented, and to be fair, for the primary purpose (organizing activists?) cosmetics are unimportant. The docs say you can edit files directly, but no hints as to which files, and most are elixir and javascript…
But it otherwise looks like a potential #Fediverse escape route from Facebook Events and Group pages. Are there any other #ActivityPub kits like this?

Charles Mingus never had an IG account.
In 1979 I managed a record store on Yonge Street, one million pedestrians a day walked by, said the BIA. Sure, but we sold rock lp imports, totally uninteresting to the General Public, our customers only came downtown to buy from us, then scoot back home to listen.
Back in the day, you got popular because you were the best at what you do. You didn't go prancing about screaming "I'm the best", your fans did that. Real social networks.

It's precision, discipline, all those improvisations, nothing else like it in the world…
But they said jazz is dead.
But no, jazz isn't dead.
The musicians are dead.
They're the ones that are dead.
Jazz will never die.
But when musicians get so passive and everything and they can't play & improvise
what's happening in the universe, then of course they're dead and they make the music
dead.
Because a dead man can't play live music, you know that.
He can only be dead.

You just have to do this like I'm talking.
I'm not measuring my words and saying one, two, three, and I did this and that.
I can't do that.
Music is a language, so you're not supposed to be counting. I might hold a word a little longer than usual if I want to emphasize what I'm saying.
That's the way music is.

The now-with-a-name All Saints Jazz Band will debut tomorrow 10am-noon (roughly) at #Toronto's #StClair street fest, outside at #Wychwood (fundraiser for a foodbank in a building with a remarkably similar name) then reprised Sunday aft, somewhere in #KensingtonMarket!

I joke about Data on Star Trek TNG responding as a search engine when he should respond like social media; instead of spew tabled info, they'd use subspace transmissions to contact living expertise networks. "What do you make of this?" "Nebula Research at Rigel 12 suggest contacting Talos IV…"
Sadly our enshittification of search underlines my notion: by the TNG era no educated human would conceive of trusting search.

If you know any teens nervously starting in a school jazz band, I highly recommend this. These young actors signed up for these roles with no prior music training (one knew recorder iirc, she stands out), their learning is real as are the very clever methods used to accelerate their musicianship, and to prove it, the band did a promo concert tour when the film was released.

Only about two weeks left in the #Dimeadozen freeloader anniversary deal - I'm presently grasping at this rarity boot of the "Sun Ra Year 2000 Arkestra" from the brief period where the band was under the Direction of John Gilmore; there is presently only one seed, but #RogersInternet won't let us connect directly...
#SunRaArkestra recorded: 1992-12-30 Northampton, MA Iron Horse Coffeehouse

This podcast is for the budding jazz musicians out there who maybe don't have jam sessions to sit in, or need to hone their chops before they do, and if you're going to start, this is as good a place as any:

"Here in the 21st century, who are our cultural symbols? Who are the pop icons so distinctive and ubiquitous that a single phrase, a graphic line, a gesture or a feature of their face even badly drawn instantly recalls who they are?"

Frankly, I find "for all intensive purposes" far more useful (and accurate) than the version the grammar police demand.

Fair warning to those who hate such stuff, radio.teledyn.com is on 100% holiday music until my next breathing space to change it, probably next week. It's not all bad, really, and the little server is prone to sporadic 3-minute downtimes I also haven't time to fix right now.

I spent 40+ years as a tech consultant so I feel unjustifiably justified in offering my expert advice, which is:
It depends…
😅
The whole point here in open standards land is we all have a choice now, and while every app is something to somebody it needn't be everything to everybody! 😁

Insomniacs into what can be done solo with reeds, brass, and vintage and modern electronics might want to catch Kae on the 2:30am slot at #DromTaberna tonight.

This does not strike me as a good idea. I can see utility for honest users, but honest users don't usually get server blocked.
> "Notify users when relationships (follows, followers) are severed, due to a server block"
Might this not spark retaliation from bad actors?

Women are superstars on stage, but still rarely get to write songs -- or at least less likely to get their songs into the charts.
I do wonder, though, about the bayesian aspects of their study. For example, what percentage of those of each gender who would qualify for inclusion actually make the grade? If only one X for every ten Y's enters the field, then 5x is much better than 5y, no?
I wonder how many of them own brown shoes?
