Is it #BandcampFriday? Yes it is! And it is #FairtradeMusicFriday too! So why not go and buy one of my albums so that I can pay for some medicines for my flu? *cough* *cough*

(too shameless? 😁)

@killyourfm I gifted my 1-year old niece a tiny red wooden piano with 25 keys, that she had a lot of fun tinkering with these past few days ❤️

@steter yep, I found the same info on a different Reddit thread. Looking for that Chinese manufacturer didn't yield many results, unfortunately

Dear Fediverse, I recently acquired a second-hand #guitar that I had "love at first sight" for as soon as I saw it online. It really is lovely to play, but I know very little about it, though, except that it's from a now defunct brand called #Dreambow. I can't find any other name or serial. Do you know what model it might be, and/or year? It definitely is a single cut, but it's not a Les Paul replica as you can see in the picture. Please help me boost this until it reaches someone who knows 😅

@killyourfm @TTimo 😁

I have the pictures with him (and the limoncello he drank) on an external drive somewhere, I should find them!

@killyourfm @TTimo this is probably where I should boast that I have my PS3 copy signed by Tim Schafer himself, when I visited Double Fine and gifted him limoncello 😅

@killyourfm @TTimo yep, that's what intrigues me the most, especially considering I really have a lot of games I bought on a sale and could never play because I don't have a gaming PC. Or all the games I played elsewhere but can't anymore, but could with a Steam Machine (I'm looking at you, Brütal Legend! ❤️ )

@TTimo @killyourfm yeah, I've seen some websites try and do that. Hopefully it won't be too expensive... as a lazy player that's gotten used to play stuff on the TV while slouching on the couch it would be an amazing opportunity to give new life to the ton of games I bought on Steam and never played, but I'm not going to let them bleed me dry to get it 😁 I paid way too much for the PS5 already...

@killyourfm @TTimo how much will it cost then? To be honest I'm not going to watch 2h of interview just for that answer 😁

@randulo asked by the person you based it on? 😄

@killyourfm that's amazing! My iPod classic is long gone, unfortunately, disk died... it's why I bought a Fiio X1 at the time (8 years ago maybe?), which recently died too though, so I'm on a HiFi Walker at the moment and loving it 😁

@killyourfm this reminds me of a homage to them we did as part of a conference a couple of years ago! https://fosstodon.org/@lminiero/109307066091739113

@killyourfm I've always seen inspiration as something akin to tuning to a radio: when inspiration strikes me, it's indeed like I ended up by accident on some psychic radio waves where I can hear clearly something that didn't exist in my mind before, so something I just have to remember and write down. I don't know if I'll ever figure out if the music I've composed actually came from me, or from some collective subconscious thingie somewhere

@killyourfm Fedora Linux with which desktop environment, though? Gnome and KDE are known resource hogs compared to XFCE and others for instance. Or is this part of the software analysis that will follow?

@radiofreefedi would that mean songs from that genre would be moved to that side channel and only there, or that they'd still appear in both? Selfishly speaking, I don't like edm, dubstep, techno etc, so having them in a channel of their own would make more time for music I prefer listening to on the main channel for instance ? Hopefully we'll get to a point where there's so many contributors and genres that there will be multiple side channels to choose from

@killyourfm my parents have been to Tenerife for a couple of weeks just last month and they told me the same thing, about how varied it is (and how good the food was too ?). Hope you're having fun!

I've seen a few people wonder what could happen to #Spaces, now that #Twitter seems to be in a downward spiral, and whether it could possibly be replaced using #FOSS. As such, I thought I'd write a blog post on how you can use #Janus as a #webrtc server to do exactly that, and build some sort of Spaces/Reddit Talk/Clubhouse clone with a scalable audio approach. Quite generic and mostly focused on scalability (not the app itself), but hopefully interesting nevertheless!
