If you want an even smaller (and cheaper) lil' FM booper, you could also get an M-VAVE FM-1. I got mine last week and been exploring the wonderful world of DX7 patches since! That being said, the Volca FM2 is prolly much easier to play due to having bigger keys. 😅

Ok so um, I might've ***accidentally*** DDoSed the main @fluxer.app instance by @'ing an entire Discord community with an invite link. *oops* That's a lotta red: status.starlightnet.work #fluxer
Part of a status page showing status indicator histories of Fluxer API, Fluxer Gateway, Fluxer Static, Fluxer Usercontent, and Fluxer Web/Client.

Fluxer API, and Fluxer Gateway, and Fluxer Web/Client are shown as being in Unhealthy states having a lot of red indicator lines compared to green indicator lines.

Fluxer Static and Fluxer Usercontent are shown in Healthy states having all green indicator lines.

I was the original person who asked the @fluxer.app main dev about the AGPL + CLA licensing and these were the responses from them:
@w8l: My best-faith assumption is that Hampus thought it was necessary for monetisation.

Hampus: it's necessary to be able to provide a commercial license for internal use only at companies who cannot use copyleft licenses due to legal requirementsHampus: it's necessary to be able to provide a commercial license for internal use only at companies who cannot use copyleft licenses due to legal requirements

Hampus [continued]: I'm being very clear about this in the upcoming refactor and that I've chosen the most contributor-friendly CLA possible that preserves all your rights, gives a guarantee that if your patch is distributed in Fluxer that it will remain distributed under the AGPLv3, in addition to any commercial licence that Fluxer may provide — and I'm also going to be very clear about the fact that companies who may receive such a commercial licence must use it for internal use only and they cannot redistribute the software under any licenceHampus [continued]: choosing a CLA is not me misunderstanding anything here, it's the only option I have if I want to retain the ability to provide a for-internal-use-only version of Fluxer to companies who cannot use copyleft licenses for some reason and are willing to pay for it, which only benefits the continued FOSS development of Fluxer and does not strip contributors of any of their rights

Messing around with my Watchy and one of the firmwares for it (InkWatchy) has a Vault, which is for storing encrypted images. I decided to make some art for the 200x200 E-Ink screen. Credits to anyone who knows these characters! #opensource #tech #cohost #eggbug #watchy #1bit #pixelart #gaming

Recently got a Watchy, which is a basic open-source smartwatch with an E-Ink screen! Glad to have spent a bit more for an anodised aluminium case, which makes it feel a bit more premium. Looking forward to exploring it further! #watchy #opensource #tech #hardware #eink #watch #esp32

Stir-fried noodles for the first time! Dinner is udon noodles with chillies, bell peppers, and carrots topped by pan-fried gyoza. No yakisoba sauce on hand, so I had to make my own sauce with teriyaki, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauces with a bit of brown sugar to help with caramelisation. #food
