Thanks for the ping here. I didn't receive a direct message for some reason.

Lemmy.studio is running plain lemmy-ansible out of the box, so I'm not sure what could be the problem. I just upgraded to the latest version a few days ago, and I've been upgrading it regularly.

We do use a non-standard CDN (https://noc.org/), and we've had problems with cache headers in the past due do it. I might get try getting rid of it.

What ratio? I'm curious to try this.

Tahini and Sriracha.

Best sauce for a burrito, but also great on salads.

You're halfway there, you just need to get smarter now!

A great sequel to the classic "Fucking up".

The difference is that he has the choice of not participating in that model, obviously.

And yet, he released his latest album exclusively on Apple Music.

This is really fascinating! Love reading about your adventures in extreme field recording! 😄

Imagine if it was called Pacific Ocean, which has 3 different sounds for C!!

This is really cool, a huge resource! Downloading and taking a look right now... thanks for sharing!

It'si the ancestor to this little fellow. It's runs patches written in a language called Pure Data (similar to MAX/MSP, and created by the same person, but open source).

I haven't used my OG OP-1 in a while, but I love my OG Organelle (from Critter & Guitari). I've been writing a custom patch for it so use it a sampler/mangler.

I'll send you a DM about those samples, I would love to check them out!

Welcome, new users! (lemmy.studio)

We've had an influx of new user recently, so I just wanted to welcome everyone. Feel free to introduce yourself and ask any questions.

Also, friendly reminder to donate if you can! The instance costs less than 10 cents per user per month, but with almost 600 users and only $9 of monthly donations I'm paying almost $50/month out of my pocket to keep it running. Thanks!

Hey, friends!

Just a heads up that I'll be upgrading the instance tomorrow (Mar 6th), and there will be considerable downtime since we need to migrate from Postgres 15 to 16.

Thanks!

Edit: done! We're running the latest version (0.19.9) now.

 

Are YOU ready to write 14 songs in 28 days?

 

Hey, friends!

In the last couple weeks I upgraded our instance to run the latest version of Lemmy, and because it was consuming more RAM today I upgraded the VPS to one with 4GB.

This means that the cost for running the instance have gone up. Historically I've been paying around $20 per month out of my pocket to run the instance (after Ko-fi donations), and this will increase to $35 after the upgrade.

Our cost per user is around $0.10/month, so it's not a lot. If you can contribute money, even $1/month, please do, it really helps.

Thanks!

 

Anyone else using the Woovebox?

I received mine last year, and I'm slowly starting to explore it. It's a full groovebox, with samples, live mode, song mode, multiple synth engines. So small!

 

Let's wait for the reviews to see if the transport is any good. It would be nice to have a decent quality new walkman on the market!

 

No major changes, just bug fixes.

Let me know if something's not working.

There has been a shitty incident where someone intentionally posted CSAM to a Lemmy community that unfortunately someone in our instance was subscribed to. Due to federation, the images might have been copied over to our instance storage.

Because of that I've taken the following measures until we understand the problem better:

  1. I've defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
  2. I've deleted all images uploaded since 2023-08-27 00:00:00 GMT.
  3. I've disabled the image server.

I'll post updates when I have them. Thanks for understanding.

 

Link is also on the sidebar. We'll use it to keep people updated on releases and give support when people can't reach the Lemmy instance.

Also, I'm an IRC kind of person, so forgive my noobness with Matrix. 🙃

 

Hey, hey!

This morning (Pacific time) I changed the nameservers on lemmy.studio, switching to a service that provides a CDN and a WAF. It's a cautionary measure to protect us from DDOS attacks. That caused some instabilities, sorry for that.

I also noticed that the CDN was too aggressive, caching URLs regardless of the Content-type, and it seems that Lemmy uses content negotiation (the same endpoint can return HTML or JSON depending on the headers). I've fixed the caching to take the headers in consideration, so hopefully you won't be seeing JSON responses when accessing the website on your desktop. If you do, let me know!

On a related note, I created a spreadsheet showing the monthly expenses on the instance, and how much we're making from user donations on Ko-fi. The sheets was shared with the current supporters. If you can spare a dollar (or five) every month to help the instance run smoothly please do, anything helps.

Thanks!

Out of all the legendary albums on this list, I doubt many of them had their origins as an abandoned rock opera. Many arrangements and scraps of Pete Townshend’s abandoned Lifehouse project became the basis for Who’s Next, an album that has no underlying theme or storyline. This sense of freedom allowed The Who to focus on making great individual songs rather than an overarching story.

The result is The Who growing up in public. The songs combine the hard-hitting energy of the band in their youth with the more experimental elements explored on Tommy. The most noticeable improvement is Roger Daltrey’s voice, reaching heights that were only hinted at in the past. Keith Moon’s drum solo followed by Daltrey’s scream at the end of “Won’t Get Fooled Again” remains as one of rock’s greatest moments.

While everyone knows about the singles, from the opening keyboard of “Baba O’Riley” to the building acoustics of “Behind Blue Eyes,” every song on this record is a potential hit. Listen to the explosive chorus of “Bargain.” Check out a rare lead vocal from bassist John Entwistle on “My Wife.” With tracks like these, it’s easy to see why Who’s Next moved The Who from a great band of the ’60s to a rock superpower in the ’70s. — Joe Marvilli (2010)
