Just uploaded a new release of the #Beast #DAW, the first version that ships a pre-alpha Electronjs based user interface:

My new statically generated Testbit #blog just went online. There's not much content there yet, I'll migrate posts bit by bit in the following days.

Berlin, Berlin.

We just took the #lac2018 group photo at Native Space, but I'm not sure I'm on it. It's just way too many people this year.
I'll post a link once it's up.

Arrived in Berlin, #c-base for #lac2018. Looking forward to Stefan's talk tomorrow morning at 10:30 about SpectMorph:

Looking forward to the #Linux #Audio Conference 2018 (partly at #c-base), just booked the hotel.

So, using rawgit.com and a dedicated 'cdn' repo on github, I can now refer to the Charis #webfont with 1 year browser cache times and utilize it from a CSS/HTML generator with just two lines of #CSS:

@import url('https://cdn.rawgit.com/tim-janik/cdn/a8a12dd652e48532faa39657bc5cc268525a89ca/CharisSIL5/CharisSIL-webfont.css');

html { font-family: "CharisSILW", serif; }

No costs involved and no user tracking by fonts.google either ;-)

For a while now, I've been wanting to use the Charis #webfont (SIL license), here's why: https://practicaltypography.com/charter.html

It's not hosted by fonts.google or so, which makes it tricky to refer to it from a #FLOSS project.

Hosting on github has too short cache times (5min) for a large webfont.

Today I finally found https://rawgit.com, a #CDN (StackPath) in front of github with large browser cache times (and mime type fixes).

And an alternative (CloudFlare), also for gitlab: raw.githack.com

Wrestling with #CSS to create a new #asciidoc stylesheet...

Eeek, watch out during upgrades to avoid #ZFS 0.7.7 on Linux, due to potential #dataloss

Back from the #libreoffice hackfest /community meetup and some long very interesting talks.

It's a really nice community and having them meet up in Hamburg is something I couldn't possibly have missed!

They are very welcoming, for everyone who wants to get involved as well, here're the easy hacks:

Twitter.com decided to suspend my account, no reasons provided.

I messaged them and now the suspension has been lifted, but without any explanation. Details here:

I'd really like folks to switch and use Mastodon instead. If you run into an ill willed admin, you can simply start your own decentralized federation server.

- But so far I'm happy with the tchncs.de admin, thanks @milan ;-)
