How to Install and Run Faircamp

Faircamp is a static site generator made by @freebliss, which enables any music producer to build a complete website to showcase their music.

Compatible with pretty much any web host Faircamp makes it easy to present your sounds to the world in minutes with no database, no programming and no maintenance required.

However, if you’ve never had experience running a shell command before it may seem a little daunting at first look. That’s where @meljoann’s article on How to Install and Run Faircamp comes in super-handy.

First written in 2023 she has kept the article updated for newer releases of Faircamp. Just read through and follow her guide as you go and you’ll be up and running in no time.

Well, it may not look like much right now, but I'm working today on a #CrossStitch #Design #Resource for myself that I'll probably be trying to share at some point on my Ko-fi page.

Colors all have hues, shades & #Values. So I'm trying to organize DMC #Embroidery floss colors by values to make color transitions & shading easier when I'm designing new #CrossStitchPatterns. This is a computer screenshot to kind of show what I'm doing.

Quite honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm insane...

Resources will all be FREE!

I'm working on putting together a few worksheets with different #resource materials for you to use as you need.

Great, if you're a self-starter like me and just need some resources that'll help you get started.

When the election first happened, I created a #resource list—everything from immigration lawyers to abortion advocacy to #LGBTQ support. In the days since I know we are feeling fatigue, maybe despair. But listen: find the helpers. They are out there. ️

#Nunavut is full of riches, that need to be carefully considered when it comes to #resource and #mineral #extraction. The #Arctic is delicate and #pollution has a larger and farther impact on the #land and #animals. #Development is needed, but #Inuit input is needed in projects like this. Inuit will be here after any mine is closed.

Important question! Anybody knows the order in which Godot loads resources referenced in scripts? Differences in editor/game and external/builtin? I get lots of nulls on _Ready(), but non-null later... (in editor/C#)

I’ve been pondering some ideas since a Mastodon post by @meljoann spawned a discussion with a lot of energy as to how all of the listeners, music-makers and platform owners in the (specifically Fedi) indie music space can better support and promote one another.

Naturally lots of people have lots of ideas and there had been good attempts to get some of these down via conversation rooms, group documents etc. until Christmas (and perhaps a general feeling of downbeat from the sunsetting of Radio Free Fedi) seemed to stem the tide.

Then earlier this week @keefmarshall posted an excellent article on his excitement and hope for the future, based on the first steps of interoperability between Bandwagon and The Indie Beat Radio (TIBR).
(Platforms developed by @benpate and @mizkirsten respectively – two people that I know, having spoken directly with them, are building the things they’re building for all of the right reasons).

Keef’s article has got conversation flowing again and it’s at this point I want to share some of the notes I’ve made. I was going to write it in article format but was finding it hard to find a coherent structure to put many interlinking thoughts together. So instead I’ve scribbled down some stuff on this whiteboard.

TLDR; If we can develop the ecosystem which envelopes all of the platforms that currently support indie artists, bringing along all of the good things that Pitchfork, Bandcamp and Spotify combined* did (discovery, distribution (inc. attribution), fair artist payment, consent and trust (Thanks Keef for articulating these labels in your post!)) then I think we could be on to something. Interoperability and community are key to making that work.

*Pitchfork-wise: Quality reviews people enjoy reading and feel they can trust.
Bandcamp-wise: Radio discoverability, access to previews, full purchases, catalogues, fair artist payment etc.
Spotify-wise: Standalone player and ability to create playlists and now-playing queues.

My whiteboard isn’t comprehensive (I’m sure I’ve missed out a lot of initiatives that should be included, apologies!) It’s just down as an illustration of my understanding of things at present. My hope is that it helps develop further progression.

I’ll sign off by saying I share Keef’s optimism and I too feel excited by the prospect of what lies ahead. There’s a lot of work to be done and there will be quite a few technical issues to solve but where there’s a will (and I see a lot of will in this community) there’s a way (and there is a ******* way!)

TIL about https://www.batteryholders.org/ — "the comprehensive battery holder and battery contact information center" — and it really does seem to be exactly that. Need dimensions for a weird battery, or details of how to mount it in your project. It's likely in there

Most #coin #collectors (should) know about Numista: https://en.numista.com/ - it is a fantastic #resource to look up information on #coins, #exonumia (#tokens, #medallions, etc), #banknotes and more. Now they have added a #literature section for #Bibliophile!
