My newest software development eccentricity is picking default server ports in the style of old US TV ads:
"Dial 127.0.0.1:FAIR !" (Faircamp, default port 3247)
"Dial 127.0.0.1:HYPER !" (Hyper 8, default port 49737)

The #faircamp website has offically moved to https://faircamp.org (so much for "gradually over the next weeks and months" haha¹ ( ^◡^)).
If I messed anything up (redirects, package download availability, etc.) please let me know, any pointers in that regard are very much appreciated! :)
¹ This single-evening-migration has been brought to you by static™ site™ technology™. ;)

2026-04-28 22:56:47 UTC

Today I bought faircamp.org :) – the website and everything will be gradually moving there for the 2.0 release over the next weeks and months! \o/
This is for one a signal of commitment and that I intend for faircamp to be around in the long term (I've been at it for 5 years already :)), but also, it'd be nice to co-own and co-operate the domain with the community at some point in the future, hence also the gradual move away from my own domain.

«I’m not really sure how to deal with this part of my life appropriately. I have apologized to a few people individually, but it’s not a scalable solution and with many people I have no business re-opening wounds to salve my own conscience. I can offer a general apology, and I will. I’ve never found the right moment to say it, but now will do: I apologise, sincerely, to everyone who I have harmed with verbal abuse and with hateful and problematic rhetoric. If you have had a bad experience or experiences with me, and there’s anything you want from me that can help you heal from that experience – a personal apology, for example – please reach out to me and ask.»
https://drewdevault.com/blog/Addressing-harassment/
I only ever witnessed Drew from a distance online, so it's ultimately not my call to validate him. I will say though that the picture he paints - both in the best and the worst - is true to what I've seen and read from him over the years. I like to believe that people can change, and as such, I have a ton of respect for what he has written in this post. Being an asshole is cheap and easy (and in my own ways I've not always been my best self either), but writing something like that ... really takes a different kind of person. I wish him all the best.

word. so many things I can relate to. :)
A few years ago I permanently removed the SIM card from my smartphone (deleting all communication channels on it, signal etc.), and permanently moved the card into my dumbphone. It took a bit of time, but gradually my brain began to understand that the smartphone "couldn't hurt me anymore", it turned into an object, much like a brick – the bad magic had been exorcised. I happily use it (mostly offline and somewhat like a laptop) now, turn on, turn off, but only when I need it for specific things.
My SIM-enabled dumbphone on the other hand, being extremely inconvenient to use and just barely useful for anything at all (calls/sms only) never aquired that bad magic – it remained something with a threat level akin to an electric doorbell, annoying people might ring occasionally, but then life goes on without much emotional turmoil. Yay.
But yeah, all in all, things remain complex as ever. Dumbphone life requires a high level of privilege and brings its own hundred headaches. I am forever in awe with that professor I read about whose website at the university department supposedly says "I don't use email. You can't contact me.", that sounds like a higher plane of existence to me. (*_ _)人

Hey Vienna!
In exactly two weeks our 4th https://permacomputing.net meetup is taking place - and notably "on the eve of the end of Windows 10".
Our plan for the evening:
- Crisis counseling for Windows 10 users: Bring your questions (and if you want, computer) if you are affected by Microsoft's declared end of the support of Windows 10. Together we can talk about our options in this situation (Do I need a new computer? Are there alternative ways out? etc.) and you can also try out free alternatives to Windows, if you like!
- Afterwards we'll watch a recording of the talk "Permacomputing 101" by Devine from Hundred Rabbits, recently presented at Critical Signals 2025, and have a bit of talk and discussion around it.
You are warmly invited to also bring other topics to the meeting of course - lighting talks, announcements, ad-hoc discussions ... just come by and join in! Note that the meetup is also very much open to newcomers - interest for the general topic is all that is required!
We'll see each other on October 14th from 19:00 to 22:00 at the beautiful, cozy https://gtblank.org - See you soon! #vienna #permacomputing

Results in a search engine always require scrutiny (whether provided by an AI or not), so I was pondering the difference in how search engine results fail us when they are, or aren't, provided by an AI. After all, somebody might (and probably does) argue that AI search results are no more untrustworthy than their predecessor! But, I think the stark difference is that there is actually something very predictable and comprehensible in the way that search results have historically been wrong: They are completely submerged in their source context (and as far as mainstream AI goes, erasing this context in the name of convenience is the very nature of what's going on). Each site that offers me results in a "traditional" search as we know it conveys intent: A technical article from a startup is going to serve recruitment ads, but they have an incentive to serve me quality. A wikipedia article might be target of history revisionists, so this is where my attention could be. A fresh stack overflow post will be swarming with gamification-reward-addicted posters that will serve low quality advice, I will be wary. There is a skill in navigating this, it can be learned!
AI results however? It's me against a black box - likely operated by profit motives - now. How am I supposed to reason, to retain my grip on reality in this?

Faircamp 1.5 is out!
To learn what's new, check out the release page:
https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/changes/1.5.0/
Thank you so much jcx, @npub1akg…8c0s and @npub1ele…hxjm for helping with the new feature and critical fixes, @npub18sw…4yjt for the new finnish translations, and @npub14lx…6fd2, @npub1ldv…9hsy, @npub1j9e…kyrp and [@vac](https://river.group.lt/@vac ) for the updates to the existing translations! <3
To learn more about #faircamp visit the website:
https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/
And there's more:
1. Tomorrow (July 31st) I'm excited to join @npub16k9…2nry to talk about my projects, including faircamp! If you have questions you'd like to see asked you can send them beforehand or join the livestream! See this post for all show details: https://social.firesidefedi.live/@firesidefedi/statuses/01K1DRPQW83QJHDZAW26HNNDXD
2. In recent weeks I put in a lot of effort to apply for funding for bigger developments next year, as well as to plan and prepare smaller, directly crowdfunded feature work over the coming months. As soon as there are updates on either of the two I'll send word of it - this is just to keep you up to date with some of the not so visible work that is happening behind the scenes as well. :)
3. This release again uses (and improves) tooling for release communication that I'm currently developing and will eventually release as free software. \o/
Poster image background for this release: Alexandre Debiève/Cildo Meireles – thank you!

Regarding "decentralized spotify": I can see the appeal in Spotify's convenience (or at least I think that is one of the least disputable aspects of why people like it), but beyond that I'd really caution to make "the Spotify model" (whatever that exactly is) the blueprint and vision for music listening culture and distribution online. E.g. even the central pay-per-stream concept: Do we really want that? Reducing the (monetary) worth of audio works to "number needs to go up", with all the ugly incentives it breeds? From my observations so far I'm getting the feeling this model isn't as beneficial in reality as it looks on paper, to put it mildly. Therefore I think the question in that vision ("decentralized spotify") has to be this: Spotify in what sense exactly? @npub17wn…9s6v

I'd like to run a virtual smartphone somehow (preferably from my linux desktop) in order to run proprietary 2FA apps for banking and such. I'm looking for a setup that is reasonably stable and reliable. Anyone happen to have pointers to solutions? ʕ◜0ᴥ0ʔ

Delightful observation I keep making (exponentially more often?) in the last years:
Copy-pasting and adapting from my own (hand-written, if you will) software corpus is a _huge, reciprocal productivity boost_.
[x] I constantly build on and expand my own repertoire
[x] I understand (or at least once understood :)) everything I reuse
[x] Re-used code can have issues but I have full trust that it was written with best intent, to the best of my ability
[x] Reused code is improved/refined with each iteration
[x] Improved code goes around to be re-integrated with the source eventually
[x] I learn tremendously in the process
[x] I don't need to pay anyone for this
[x] No new datacenters need to be built for this
[x] This gets better every year

The upcoming Hyper 8 release (0.19, probably in a week or two) is going to introduce four different feeds in one go: Atom, Plain RSS, Podcast RSS and Media RSS.
As a visitor on a Hyper 8 site you'll be able to subscribe to the site itself but also selectively to every subcollection and playlist on a site.
In the coming weeks sometime I'll also be implementing audio-only media/formats, with that there will probably also come a feed differentiation that allows people to subscribe to audio-only feeds.
In effect, hyper8 becomes a (video and/or audio) podcasting platform¹ with this as well.
(ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ #hyper8
¹ edit - I better put this in quotes: "platform". :)

I'm still looking for a volunteer to test/confirm a #faircamp fix for older iPadOS/macOS systems: https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/issues/113
The short version is: Open a link I provided, click play on the first track, immediately switch to a different app, wait ~10 seconds, then go back to the browser and see what happens. (and then let me know) :) Further details and background are in the issue thread. ty ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ

Spent the afternoon yesterday diagnosing and fixing apple-specific issues in #faircamp and #hyper8 (I can confirm that indeed "iOS/Safari is the new internet explorer" :/)
Among other things I managed to fix one long-standing issue around unintentional concurrent playback in Safari, if anyone wants to test the outcome, this thread has all the information and a live test page: https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/issues/113#issuecomment-2934770
Lots of love to the street game conspiracy HQ for providing access to test devices for these sessions, couldn't do it without! <3

Minirelease for Feber (a simple, self-hostable, portable group calendar): 1.3.0 \o/
Although #feber does not support multiple calendars per installation, it can easily be installed multiple times under a single domain (simply copy the installation files into multiple subdirectories), and this release is all about officially supporting this by isolating the (php) sessions across different calendars (which previously was not the case). Many thanks to Thom for communicating this usecase and issue to me!
Also included in this release are some tweaks and use of gender neutral language ("account" rather than "user") for the french translations (thank you @npub1xdk…8qkr!), which I'd like to extend to the other locales (and internal translation keys etc.) when I finally get to it. :)

After 6 months and about 333 commits I proudly present:
Faircamp 1.0 – A static site generator for audio producers
https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/
To recap the highlights of the past months and learn what's new in the final 1.0 release, check out the blog post: https://simonrepp.com/posts/faircamp-1.0/
Development of version 1.0 was made possible through the amazing support, funding and expertise of the @npub1dk0…k0wd programme and coalition, led by the [@nlnet](https://social.nlnet.nl/@nlnet ) foundation and financed by the European Commission's [@EC_NGI](https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EC_NGI ) initiative – thank you so much for giving me and everyone benefitting from a better Faircamp this incredible opportunity!
Also, many thanks to all faircampers, contributors, testers, translators, bloggers, podcasters and encouraging voices for supporting this journey - for the final 1.0 release specifically to @npub148c…dk8r for release candidate testing, @npub1y9a…qgsv for bugreporting/testing, @npub166d…xj3f for the external artist page feature inspiration and @npub1fq2…86fr for their diligent translation work.
Along with this release I've published multiple new documentation resources - from an official Linux/macOS/Windows tutorial to a 1.0 migration guide, from an overhauled reference manual to a beginner's guide to publishing faircamp (or any!) static sites - check out the website and recent posts in the #faircamp hashtag to discover them!
That's all!

« How to publish your Faircamp site online » (video, ~14min): https://simonrepp.com/video/faircamp/going-online/
"This guides you through finding/choosing the right domain and webhosting provider for your website, as well as setting up FTP and publishing your site on the web.
Understanding this process empowers you not only to publish #faircamp sites, but in fact allows you to publish any kind of static website or files on the web in the future!"
If you watch this and find it lacking in certain aspects (or conversely, really good in some), I warmly invite you to send me feedback! I'd love to improve this and publish more and better resources like this in the future, and the more I understand the issues, the better I can address them! :)

- During the step "Backup (...) First the old key pair (public & secret):", after the command "gpg --export-secret-keys --armor BF3B5AFCD4480E60 | gpg --symmetric --armor > BF3B5AFCD4480E60.sec" it says "Latest command will ask you for a password 3 times: the first two correspond to the symmetric encryption and the password has to be exactly the same the first two times; third time corresponds to the key pair’s password (the one you set up while creating the new pair)." This slightly confused me, for two reasons: 1) We are exporting the _old_ key pair, but it says "third time corresponds to the key pair’s password (the one you set up while creating the _new_ pair)", so I first was wondering if we are somehow using the new key to encrypt the old key. (but in the end I think I gathered that we just need the old key's passphrase to get it exported here, the mention of "new" is probably an accident). 2) The order seems to be reversed (?) We first export the key (so the first password we enter should be the passphrase of the key itself, and then we pipe the output to gpg --symmetric, and this one then (2nd+3rd passphrase) is the separate passphrase we just use to protect the key for external storage safekeeping?
And that's all. Once again, many thanks for this awesome resource!

Thank you so much for this excellent guide, helped me enormously to rotate my keys, and I learned a lot in the process too!
I'm sharing a few notes I made - feel free to incorporate or ignore them, whichever way you feel like! :)
(1/2)
- In the command "$ gpg --export --armor BF3B5AFCD4480E60> BF3B5AFCD4480E60.pub" there seems to be a missing space (next to '>'), it was probably intended to be "gpg --export --armor BF3B5AFCD4480E60 > BF3B5AFCD4480E60.pub"
- The command "rm cat ~/.gnupg/openp..." probably accidentally contains the "cat" and was intended to be "rm ~/.gnupg/openp..."
- In the command "gpg -a --gen-revoke BF3B5AFCD4480E60 > BF3B5AFCD4480E60.rev" we create a revokation certificate for the old key. Towards the end of the process I found myself wondering if this file should be kept (and why), a short note on that would be great.
- Likewise to the previous point, I found myself wondering why we are keeping the old key files at all, this would also be fantastic to have just a sentence on.

Before I make an official announcement I'd be very grateful if somebody could test the first native windows build for #faircamp ! (⌒‿⌒) Basically: Are the download and installation instructions clear? Do they work for you? Does the build itself work? Anything else that comes to mind?
The build is already available and linked at: https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/manual/installation.html

It's my delight to announce #faircamp 0.18.0:
If there's one thing to take away from this release, it is that _embeddable players_ for releases and stand-alone tracks are now finally ready and at your disposal! ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝
There is a number of other things included too! Critical fixes, some subtle stuff, even one little secret experimental feature goodie. Read all about it in the release announcement - https://simonrepp.com/posts/faircamp-0.18.0/ - where I've also included an exciting outlook on the rest of the year!
Lastly a shout-out to the people who made this release happen: [@nlnet](https://social.nlnet.nl/@nlnet ) and the [@EC_NGI](https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EC_NGI ) with all their expertise and financial support, making the entire thing possible! And then [@cpacaud](https://mastodon.art/@cpacaud ), [@futzle](https://old.mermaid.town/@futzle ), DURAD, session and @npub14lx…6fd2 for bug reports, ideas and improved translations - thank you so much!

I just released Feber 1.1.3! (that's "a simple, self-hostable group calendar", see https://simonrepp.com/feber)
This patch mainly solves a security-related oversight from feber's first days - if you share your calendar with a public audience, or use it to organize highly private or secret things, I recommend updating timely, otherwise just whenever you get to it - the impact of the issue is rather limited.
Also, did you know that #feber is available as a Yunohost app? Eric Gaspar made this happen (with support from @npub1xdk…8qkr and Alexandre Aubin) - many thanks! \o/
Also, I might do a smaller feature release these next days too, let's see if time permits. ( ^◡^)

I just contemplated for a minute how awesome it is that @npub1fh7…ee83 exists. I was reformatting the link to codeberg on my (these days empty-ish) github profile and it felt like the most normal thing that most of my repositories now live on an independent, community-led platform ... but it's totally not!
Some people set out to make it happen and put in so much energy and personal time and resources, and they made it happen! And still every day there's a few incredibly dedicated core volunteers behind the scenes, keeping things running for us all, and hundreds of members providing funds and oversight, and devs building forgejo and so on ... what a marvel of the free software movement. Also love the political energy behind it and that people are mostly very clear on the mission: Tech is political. Code is political. And we better make damn sure we make it good politics!! (•̀ᴗ•́)و
