Why I am making a music service: illegal.trading/article/2026...

man that ending is heart wrenching good show, highly recommend it

how can you not be romantic about everything

stop putting your web app under app.{domain}, i have to type way more characters until i get a proper suggestion instead of being able to go {domain} directly

waffles!!

Lyda update: - Added a setting for displaying waveforms, in case you don't wanna get spoiled (thanks @mae.wtf for the idea) - Shipped some iOS app features (trust me I'm also trying to get this thing approved, it's message ping pong with Apple rn)

happy rotate all your mail passwords day

good day to make my infrastructure more resilient

you should totally plug in usb drives your friend send you in the mail

so glad i migrated off of it lowkey

it's an excellent day to not maintain a php project

happy CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 day i guess

working on implementing WebTransport / QUIC for lyda and porting more stuff onto realtime architecture can't wait for lyda to be the best optimized music service really trying to achieve that

i am the loudarest person ever

this is a demo of lyda purchase lyda premium today

Melancholy Forever is out now emi.moe/melancholyforever

never thought i'd be learning about laser diodes for my software dev work

feature request for @tangled.org: send me a notification when an SSH key is added or removed

"money is not what i want" - @oyster.cafe you heard it, lewis will pay all your bills if you ask nicely

Lyda update: - Prepared a lot of work on the iOS app (mostly desktop/web parity) - Fixed a bug on desktop/web that made it possible to open multiple context menus

got around to uploading watchmaker to lyda, a track which means a lot to me and nobody will ever know why lyda.app/track/242 i swear ill release another no earth theory before i die. probably

Lyda update: - You can now reorder track versions - You can now listen to the separate versions in the edit dialog

i'm now finally watching silicon valley

YouTube hasn't paid out music streaming earnings to Distrokid for almost two months with no communication, so my income has been cut in half just for fun. It's a startling reminder that the entire streaming ecosystem could just go away overnight because a tech company lets it. Buy albums if you can.

i'm now 27

I was broken up with and will likely be kicked out of the only safe home I’ve had. I have no job, no stable place to stay, and very little support. I don’t usually ask for help, but I genuinely need it right now while I try to get back on my feet. Thank you, and much love. ♥️ ko-fi.com/supitszaire

maybe this time? :D

made an account for Lyda: @lyda.app will post updates there in the future but will repost them here :D

Maybe a good reminder that I also make music: loudar.bandcamp.com

i want to make software that actually feels like the future

using a decision model but for categorizing posts into bangers or not bangers

is anybody interested in a 30% discount code for a jetbrains all products pack license? i don't need it

i keep thinking which parts of lyda i could make distributed or selfhostable but everytime it leads me back to thinking it's too impractical to be good UX for everyone i'd rather have good import/export of data and supporting some stuff like navidrome maybe

good heavens, she's BLOGGING now?? i've been playing around with migrating to independent, open-source social networks for a while now. the tech is really maturing! but the space is still awkward to discuss. i talk about this issue here, and how it applies across matrix, activitypub, and ATproto.

Dropped a little something on Soundcloud + Bandcamp: soundcloud.com/loudar/river... loudar.bandcamp.com/track/andrew...
