  • I had quite some beef with the tethered caps in the beginning when they didn’t latch properly, but have since gotten used to them. That said:

    • Cap on top -> Funny hat for nose!
    • Cap on bottom -> Beard gets to take a moist nap.
    • Cap on sides -> Mustache also gets to take a sip!

    Obviously not much of a problem. I’d need to clean my facial hair either way if eating ice cream or other messy foods, but cap rotation might not be effective if your “face” sticks out 1-2cm from your mouth.

    One could also attempt to rotate the cap in a way to achieve quantum tunneling, but I don’t feel that I’ve achieved that level of “tethered cap proficiency” yet.

    “Fixed issue with ssl python libs,” or “Minor bugfixes.”

    Red bird going "Hahaha, No!"

    In other news, never work more than one person on a branch (that’s why we have them). Make a new related issue with its own branch and rebase whenever necessary, and don’t even think about touching main or dev with anything but a properly reviewed and approved PR (in case they aren’t already protected), or I’ll find and report you to the same authority that handles all the failed sudo requests!

    Also, companies that disable rebasing are my bane. While you can absolutely do without, i much prefer to have less conflicts, cleaner branches and commits, easier method to pull in new changes from dev, overall better times for the reviewer, and the list goes on. Though, the intern rewriting multiple branches’ history which they have no business pushing to is also rather annoying.





  • Haven’t heard about that one, thank you for the heads-up.

    First impressions:

    • From top 10 artists i follow:
      • 5/10 have profile and uploaded at least one song on Bandcamp.
      • 3/10 have an account on Audius (possibility to donate).
      • 1/10 has uploaded at least one song on Audius.
    • One MUST upload a profile picture to create an account.
      • About 1/3 of proposed artists during account creation have uploaded <5 songs, most seem to be remix and cover artists.
      • Didn’t figure out how to search for artists during account creation, ended up choosing 2/3 artists I’ve never heard of.
    • Not immediately apparent whether I can download bought music to a lossless format.
    • Not sure how to buy album or individual song at first glance.
    • LOTS of remixes and covers, not so much original songs (this is both good and bad).
    • Nice that you can donate arbitrary amount without buying anything, in case you already got the music from… other places…
      • I didn’t find anyplace where “$AUDIO” is explained, how much the artist receives, or what you receive if anything.

    Less relevant observations:

    • weird pause/play button, sometimes there’s just a loading wheel spinning where it’s supposed to be, not really functional.
    • Slightly intrusive, had to disable some plugins (Javascript (obviously it’s playing music) and fingerprinting (cloudflare?)) for the site to load. Not relevant to music, but just a general observation since we’re in the piracy community.

    Not much going on by now, but it probably just needs some time to grow and assimilate the likely soon-to-be-migrating Bandcamp user base. I’ll keep an eye on it, and probably revisit it once more artists have migrated to it.




  • For those wondering how to exceed the 70 (80) recommended character limit and still follow best practices:

    1. Write the title on the first line, keep below 70 characters.
    2. Make two (2) newlines
    3. Write one or more descriptive paragraphs.

    The first line will be shown as commit message, and the full text can usually be viewed by checking out the commit. Sentences can span multiple lines, but try to keep the line length below 70 characters for best readability.

    This off the top of my head, so feel free to correct me if I’ve misremembered the best practices.
