Also have a very sparkly new bit on the homepage, so you can listen on @mirlo, jam.coop and Bandwagon.fm as well as directly on the site. There's links to a couple of streaming services too but not Spotify or Amazon Music. 💅

but before everything else, #BeYourOwnPlatform by focusing on your website and your mailing list - some inspiration perhaps at https://BeYourOwnPlatform.site

your website can feature all your music nicely collected via faircamp - https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/ made by @freebliss

we also discuss fair music stuff at https://the.socialmusic.network

look,

selfhosting means you're in control of your own data

platforms come and go, but your homepage is forever. and your email. get a domain name and tie email address to it. never forget to renew it! or buy it for 10 years.

then get working and make an ugly html webpage that hosts your work.

that's your turf. your learning and growing place. a garden, a forest, stone quary.

get your email inbox under your domain name working. no need to setup your own email server (difficult, but not impossible!), get it hosted someplace.

these two are forever. pay for it with real money. or help a local librehosters group with documentation. or organizing. but don't pay it with permission to be tracked.

more difficult than instagram, but forever, and under your own terms.

everything else will perish sooner or later. do use those other platforms, but just know how fragile they are. coops also die out.

Et y’a déjà un retour des webrings

#BeYourOwnPlatform presentation generator:

from a long list you tick various modules: few options for introduction and number of different arguments, some historical, some in the present, and few summary modules
you click generate
generator gives you a markdown document that you copy&paste into any instance of HedgeDoc,
there you just choose 'slide mode' from the right dropdown menu
press S for speaker mode in new window where you have notes to slides, which are text that you can read next to each slide

this way anyone can prepare and give a #BeYourOwnPlatform presentation in a matter of minutes.

#HalfBakedIdeas

#BeYourOwnPlatform presentation done, now off to play live music for computer games!

Saturday 18.10 (today when you read this probably) in Oslo:

Doing a presentation of #BeYourOwnPlatform at Norwegian anti-big-tech festival organized by @attacnorge

Then I pack my gear and head down to Salt to play live soundtracks to two different video games!

Should be a lot of fun I hope!

My music will soon no longer be available on Spotify.
There are now too many good reasons to cut ties with this company. And I can easily do without those 25 euros per year.

couldn't say it better...

The only way to escape the hellish state of the current internet is to pursue options that drag the network back towards its decentralized state; a state where corporations are unable to control who we talk to, what we see, where our attention is for five or more hours a day, every day.
This will keep happening until we abandon centralization and choose and free, open source, decentralized future. Or else the beatings will continue until morale improves.

I haven’t touched the code of my new hand-crafted music site for over a week, which means it’s probably done.

For now.

I know people don’t visit websites any more, but so what? Making a site is like making and recording and mixing a song. It’s a form of self-expression. You do it because you want to or you have to, with no control over what happens to it once it’s released into the wild.

the beautiful independent autonomous open internet

beautiful html websites, gemini capsules, tildeverse, webrings, neocities, lolspaces, selfhosted static sites, builders, constructors, permacomputorers... i love you. every work you put into adding to this slightly forgotten but rediscovered web of independence from enshittified closed garden silos, cherishing inconveniences, text interfaces, frugal computing..., it all adds up to something remarkable. each and every one of you matter! each and every one is important in adding your own tiny little piece into the never-ending hopepunk puzzle-forest. go forth and keep gardening!
