Some nights ago I noticed that we could hear loads of frogs through our opened balcony door. Imagine, they are about 1km away. :) So today I grabbed my binaural mics and the recording device.
Headphones are mandatory in order to experience the full 360° soundscape. Remember the artificial head recordings from the 70s? That's it.
This is the recording of a brook which sounded really nice. It is being lead through a pipe underneath the path, coming from the left (higher patter) and leaving the pipe on the right (lower patter). All above that you have got the sounds of an early spring forest.
And then the frogs. You could hardly hear anything else, and today they were really wild. My beloved also saw two grass snakes. I have never ever heard this many frogs in one place before.

When you register at Hubzilla you are presented with a choice of channel roles. There are
The docs explain the basics about what is what, but I was always missing a tabled overview. So I created one.
- social channels with varying privacy settings
- forums with varying privacy settings
- feed channels
- a soap box function for announcement only channels
- group repositories

This will be handy. I'd share it but somehow the Link to Source is buggered.
That is going to be one crazy block of BBcode! And if history is any guide, it will become outdated rapidly. This is something we could probably generate automatically in the code. It could be accessible when people are selecting a permission role and would naturally stay up-to-date.

This will be refined over time, this graphic is just a first quick and dirty draft done in LibreOffice Calc and will be updated into a native table.

You are right, I made a mistake. Social does not have perms_auto, which I understand as autoconnect.
What I have not yet managed to find a meaning for is $ret['limits']. Any hint? :)
And "Default Collection" ... I believe that means connections are sorted into a default privacy group, the new name for collection? Yet that is - unfortunately - only configurable if I chose custom mode. Which for me is a huuuge reason to chose custom mode but ... ... ... maybe that should be moved to general access?
Or does that mean "Default permission group", which then is not reflected if I change the channel role.
(Note to self: Need to describe these default permission group roles as "follower, contributor, publisher", have never really looked into that before.)

I have cloned this channel several times recently along with some others. All went well, except for this channel and one hub. There I am having very strange effects for this, and only for this channel.
I am a bit at a loss now. I uad already given up, my final attempt is now about 2 hours ago. Then I noticed the name change.
The log said "no uid" and zot handshake not possible because https and httpnwere not available. Everything is https.
Other channels from the very same hub did clone amazingly well, even syncing webpages and wikis. From the same source hub to the very same clone hub. So thrre must be something about this channel, even though it did clone perfectly to other hubs.
There is quite a bit of action on the hub where I want to clone to, so the log is very noisy.
What else could I do to debug? Now that my primary channel had been strangely changed a second time ...
ACLs also seem to have been changed, I could no longer post public as there was no option for that.
Is there a way to do a kind of channel config refresh? Or just change one setting temporarily and thrn change it back? How can I now check the validity of this channel? That option for publick posts returned once I reset the privacy option to mostly public.

- at first the clone there changed to an ancient avatar
- when visiting the clone's channel home I got "Profile does not exist"
- No connections are visible, a test post was visible only to me instead of the main privacy group which I had selected
- I tried several times, usually using the web form, but alsi a json file, also with and without old posts
- I deleted that botched channel clone each time
- Now it happened again, my primary account suddenly switched it's name from h.ear.t | tobias back to the old tobias, interestingly only in posts, likes etc, not in the profile or settings

I had already deleted that clone, so I re-imported it now.
No, /import and chosing that file did not help, too.
I just saw that now that new clone attempt also does not appear under /locs.

Just tested for the first time: It is possible to add custom fields to connections. Now I understood that this might be quite useful. I was especially thrilled that one could possibly directly call someone by clicking on the green phone icon in the connections list.
This might need an enhancement though. If I enter a landline and a mobile phone address, I will only be linked to the first number I entered, there is no way to chose.

I am pretty sure this is going to be a classic album. Classic like in Pet Sounds or Tago Mago, NEU!, My Life In A Bush Of Ghosts, Kid A, How To Pimp A Butterfly. Continuing where Kraftwerk left off and never considered to go.
This album will finally turn me into the Mouse On Mars connoisseur I was always destined to be.

Now that this album has dropped, I will finally be able to either stand by or to retract my claim and to vent my disappointment. Very first impression: I might be right. But such a positively overwhelming album does demand to take things slow, step back from the self assigned task of a public assessment and to fully retreat into the sonic spaces that are on offer. Only after building a meaningful relationship (or the inability thereof?) I will come back to this.

An amazing image sent by the Curiosity rover from Mars. Just after sunset you can easily make out earth as the brightest star in the evening sky. And if you look close enough, there is good old moon relyably at it's side.

This might be of interest to some.
Oh, that was exciting when I discovered that world of creativity and dedication which lay hidden beyond those more or less well publicized, more or less commercial sound carrier outlets that I could read about in the more or less commercial newsstand magazines or hear in the specialist radio shows. Those were the times before non commercial community radio, and "the internet" was only just getting the graphical update, i.e. the ability to display graphics by a completely new browsing software called "Mosaic" and copy shops were still havens of the creative grassroots publishing process and posties an integral part of the daily communication protocol.
I remember fondly a very strange aniversary sampler for IRRE tapes (read a tribute to IRRE tapes here), celebrating their 100th release. The tape itself was also designed in true DIY manner with artists such as Doc Wör Mirran, the scene-'famous' Lord Litter or Harald Sack Ziegler. Oh, and Dauerfisch. I loved Dauerfisch. Yay for Dauerfisch.
Today I hear Harald Sack Ziegler has found a niche that still exists on public radio. But he is not the only one who still tickles my ears in new contexts.
Or I got a tape by the EBM outfit Zero Defects. Later I saw a CD review in the Zillo Magazine when they gained a contract with Zoth Omog.
I am quite excited about the gems I will uncover on this new site.
Oh, Z'ev has also got a few entries. His death in December 2017 is a real loss.

It is with sadness I just learned that Z'ev has recently died. I must admit that even though I was familiar to little more than his name, yet that alone is awe inspiring. I knew he was a true innovator and complex artist who would be challenging, yet rewarding to explore. Music for all senses.
Then I saw that more recently he has worked with Charlemange Palestine whom I like a lot but also need to urgently explore much deeper. John Zorn has released him. Those two facts are enough to earmark someone's music for further exploration, and it turned out to be just a reward and hightend emphasis for the groundbreaking work that went before.
Z'EV - Wikipedia
I bow to him by finally beginning my journey with the latest release I found at spotify. So far this truly is a journey, challenging yet exciting. And obviously I am judging from the sonic surface only, with no clue whatsoever about his metaphorical and mystical language.

Z'EV - Wikipedia
Z'EV (born Stefan Joel Weisser, February 8, 1951 – December 16, 2017) was an American poet, percussionist, and sound artist. After studying various world music traditions at CalArts, he began creating his own percussion sounds out of industrial materials for a variety of record labels. He is regarded as a pioneer of industrial music.
(...)
In 1983, critic Roy Sablosky wrote: "Z'EV doesn't just break the rules, he changes them." Journalist Louis Morra wrote in 1983: "Z'EV is a consummate example of contemporary performance art, as well as modern composition and theater." and, "Z'EV realizes many of modernist art's ultimate goals: primitivism, improvisation, multi-media/conjunction of art forms, the artist as direct creator."
His work with text and sound was influenced by Kabbalah, as well as African, Afro-Caribbean and Indonesian music and culture. He studied Ewe music, Balinese gamelan, and Indian tala.

I really enjoyed his colab with Charlemange Palestine, a minimalist composer and master of drone whom I really like but also know way too little of. This one is a true monster, a meeting of two worlds on an equal level. Carlemagne is playing bells, beautiful light and clear bells, Z'ev as can be expected his usual dark percussion.
The end result is so amazingly beautiful that it is almost accessible, in the sence of possibly likable by an open minded mainstream audience.

You might not have heard of Mystified, nonetheless he is one of the most prolific field recording / sound artists active in the creative commons and netlabel scene. In 2011 the blog Tuning Into Obscure attributed him with more than 130 releases, which I can very easily believe. archive.org lists 74 audio releases. Understandably I am very, very, very far from having heard 'em all. His art has accompanied me for many years now, I find his approach to using field recordings for sound generation and often poetic sound art profound and inspiring.
I love field recordings, and many years ago I followed my childhood passion and became a librarian. At that time I had not heard of the Internet, had barely seen or even used a computer. Just a few weeks into those studies I was introduced to email and The Internet (non-graphical websites, still using that text based browser Lynx) and that was the beginning of an alternate career and a new passion, leading to that digital enthusiast and admin I am today. But that's yet another story. ... :)
Still today I think of libraries very much as public living rooms, filled with the sounds, smell and the excitement of knowledge and inspiration. I am sure you can see how his release really hits very close to home for me. This one might become one of my favorite Mystified releases ever.
But there is more. This time Thomas Park aka Mystified provides us not only with the finished composition, but also with the untreated source recordings. Which means you can hear a library's room ambience, scanner, printer, check out, elevator, laptop cabinet, rolling book carts and so on and then go on to enjoy the finished composition. This way that finished piece becomes a puzzle fun with all those sounds playing hide and seek, challenging your inner sonic detective.
Oh, this is fun.

Two new releases up--Sounds Of The Library, by Thomas Park
We often think about libraries as quiet places.
Every time I record in one, I find them to be quite full of sound.
The first release has straight-up field recordings, some using a contact microphone, some using a regular mic:

The second is comprised of two mid-length drone tracks created using the sounds from the first release:

Should the law be changed to allow same sex couples to marry?

I'm not holding my breath. It's political suicide for Turnbull to sign it into law. So he just keeps dragging out the process and creating "plausible deniability". I fully expect six months of debate in parliament.

It happened today, on the 7th December 2017 Parliament has moved for same sex marriage to finally become law in Australia.
There was a standing ovation in Parliament and 25 minutes later this episode of The Informer went to air.
We break down the day in Australian Parliament with Rod Smith, as people around the nation were glued to their computers and tvs all week as so many MP’s wanted to have their say on the amendments to Dean Smith’s Private Members Bill regarding definitions and religious freedoms.
While the Prime Minister is patting himself and his party on the back for getting this done, we hear from the community and remind him that the process they have chosen caused further damage to our marginalised community and that is not something to celebrate.
We touch in with Anthony Wallace from Equal Love Melbourne as well as with Brett who proposed to his partner last month…. well it is his fiance now!

I treasured this album long before I had actually heard it. Strange, the way some music paths it's way into people's lives. For this one, I knew I loved it. I had borrowed it from several libraries on several media throughout the years. I had put it onto a cassette. Yet, I did not listen to it. At least not really. Just a few minutes, maybe skipping across the rest.
Then I even did own it, that beautiful little box they did for it's 30th anniversary. For many years I did not listen to that CD.
Then The Easy Allstars did their stellar cover version called Dub Side Of the Moon. Wow. I was hooked. More than that, I was in love. That became my album of the year, along with the original. Finally I did listen. And wow, what was there to discover!
Since then DSOTM has kept it's very special place inside my heart and soul. It has opened the path for many other Pink Floyd albums. Except for The Wall. Every few years or so I give it another spin and acknowledge that it's awesome, but strange enough, it does not do much for me. It does not touch me the way DSOTM or The Piper ... do.
I once thought it would be a nice idea to collect DSOTM cover versions. But I gave that idea up before I had even started. That is too vast of a field.
I have just found another one. Again, beautiful and unique all by itself. It's a chello cover version.

#857986 - npm: package is 3 years old (consider removal?) - Debian Bug report logs
Sorry for opening such a non-standard bug report but this page leads me to believe that the most up-to-date version we have for this package on Debian is from 2014 ...
Yep, I read this thread. I understand their reasoning. But not including something as popular as npm is very bad PR for Debian. I convinced a friend to move to Debian (he came from OS X). He quite likes it but he develops on node.
Yes, I agree, even though I see the point. I thought the very same for dropping HA for Debian Jessie, which I regard as integral for any distro aiming at professonal use. But I do get the reasoning, too. But it's hard to convey and still argue for Debian.
Is this strange or is it strange ... Though I am pretty stunned by the beauty of that remix. Hearing that new stereo mix is like meeting old friends again and while anything that made your friendship that long ago is as evident as ever, it is obvious that they are doing better than ever while being just themselves.
I guess this wild success is way beyond anyone's guess. Honoring today's official release date 50 years ago I wore my Sgt Pepper drum logo button at work. Don't know if anyone noticed it, but that's not the point anyway. Celebrating how much these songs and sounds are still able to move and inspire me after 100s of listenings is.
And while I do not care much about the charts, being #1 again 50 years later is nothing but an impressive surprise.

Flashback: There I am, thumbing through some thick books I carried home from the local library while carefully tuning the knobs on my shortwave radio. This radio knob was my connection to the world. Oh, that felt so good. In fact, it was mind boggling. Being able to listen to the world made it easy for me to live with the shortcomings of bad reception, always changing frequencies, shifting voices, strange noises et all. I was receiving radio stations from all around the world and was no longer restricted to my own little world!
Flash forward.
Here I am, still with the world at my fingertips, but now using a computer keyboard. Still listening to radio stations from all over the globe, but in much better quality and without carrying heavy books beforehand. There are webstreams. There are search engines. Heck, there are mobile phones which connect me even from ... almost anywhere that hapens to have a decent internet reception.
And now this.
Radio-Browser.info, an open source, public domain Wiki for ... radio stations. The name is a bit misleading, it is actually for all types of radio stations, not just community radios. From anywhere. The only limitation is: It must be legal to listen to them globally, i.e. without geoblocking. Yes, that actually has become a thing, there already are some radio stations that try to block anyone from listening outside their country.
As the radio browser relies upon community effort, I have spontaneously edited my favorite radio station, corrected the name, updated the tags. It's really easy and pretty straight forward. There are some more stations I know which are in need for updates, and updating this publicly sourced information is much more rewarding than just maintaining my own private lists.
Very nice work, very useful for any radio lover out there. You can even fork radio browser on github and run your own.
There are already quite a fiew media players using this site's API, plus the site admin even created a simple app RadioDroid, available on F-droid.org which appears to run much better than the huge Tunein and certainly with less tracking. It does have other shortcomings, it is still quite rudimentary, but a nice beginning and I am already using it a lot.

There are some more stations I know which are in need for updates, and updating this publicly sourced information is much more rewarding than just maintaining my own private lists.
Very nice work, very useful for any radio lover out there. You can even fork radio browser on github and run your own.
There are already quite a fiew media players using this site's API, plus the site admin even created a simple app RadioDroid, available on F-droid.org which appears to run much better than the huge Tunein and certainly with less tracking. It does have other shortcomings, it is still quite rudimentary, but a nice beginning and I am already using it a lot.

Just read that Mika Vainio has died. This is sad. I have seen (or better: felt) Pan Sonic live sometime during the 90s opening during The Swans' last tour before they called it quits for a long time. Yet Pan Sonic were the ones that left me baffled. This noise, flickering light and the sheer rawness of the experience - never have I been in such a state of consciousness before. Been rediscovering them lately, especially as I do own a few CDs by Mika I have not yet heard, I now started slowly working my way through all that noise.
Definitely something to be enjoyed in well measured doses. Frequencies can induce trances and Pan Sonic created a whole calm chaos of that.
Thank you for those frequencies, Mika.

Edit: This howto was moved to where it is being maintained and updated.
Installing my favorite web suite aka Hubzilla on the forthcoming Debian 9 "Stretch" is a joy. Quick, straightforward and easy. I will show you how to do it in about 10 minutes or less.
Currently I am preparing for the switch to Debian 9 "Stretch". So far I am quite happy with the update and I am pretty happy to finally welcome back to my favourite distro the pacemaker clustering suite. But that is another story and shall be told at another time. :)
(This is just a quick cheatsheet, I will later write a longer howto for later. Promised.)
I am starting with a basic Debian installation. The only additional feature chosen during installation is ssh-server.

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/hubzilla_error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/hubzilla_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Enable the new vhostenable /etc/apache2/sites-available/hubzilla.conf
Enable apache modules rewritea2enmod rewrite
Restart apache2 in order to activate all these changessystemctl restart apache2 - Download Hubzilla: clone the Hubzilla Git repository and chown everything to be writable to the webserver account www-data
cd /var/www/ ; git clone https://github.com/redmatrix/hubzilla ; chown -R www-data. hubzilla; - create the database
mysql -u root
create database hubzilla ; CREATE USER 'hubzilla'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'totally-secret-password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hubzilla.* to 'hubzilla'@'localhost'; - SSL Encryption: create the letscencrypt certificates in order to use SSL and have certbot automatically configure your apache vhost to use SSL. Just follow the instructions. Let certbot configure your vhost to use SSL.
certbot - setup a cronjob
echo "*/10 * * * * cd /var/www/hubzilla; /usr/bin/php Zotlabs/Daemon/Master.php Cron" >> /etc/crontab - Finally: open your browser and follow the instructions.
