It's time for another #MusicMonday, and this time we are changing genre a bit — even if the music remains atmospheric and dreamy. This week I would like to recommend Carbon Based Lifeforms, in particular their 2006 album World of Sleepers. Carbon Based Lifeforms create meticulously thought-through electronic music, which probably fits best under the label psychedelic ambient if we need to find a label for it. I like how this music is not soulless or straight boring as a lot of ambient can be, but at the same time not too intense to be in the background. It is like a painting that fits well enough in the room to not immediately draw intention, but at the same time is interesting and touching when you look at it.
I like several of their albums, but I think World of Sleepers is a great place to start to explore Carbon Based Lifeforms. I also think it is one of their more beat-forward releases, which I personally like. Also, I am a sucker for the cover art.

The first of March and the Brain DJ is humming St Vincent songs from yesterday's playlist, so here's something completely random –

Carbon Based Lifeforms, "Rymden3000" (2023)

Daniel Vadestrid and Johannes Hedberg from Sweden formed CBL in 1996.

Psychedelic ambient ("psybient"; think "Future Sound of London" and the Berlin school of electronica), and I'm trying to see if I'll get addicted to the band.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.40 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Announces (boosts) can now be disabled/reenabled on a per-people basis (to limit those boost-trigger-happy friends from flooding your timeline). This is operated from the people page.

It's now possible to show an instance timeline instead of the classic greeting static page at the base URL. This can be enabled by setting the show_instance_timeline field to true in the server configuration file. Other metadata fields can be set to add information to this page; please see snac(8) (the Administrator manual page) for details.

Users can now upload an image (preferably in landscape mode) that will be shown as a banner in their public pages.

Added hints to web UI buttons.

Mastodon API: some minor fixes to allow the semaphore.social web client to work.

Fixed miscalculation of the votersCount field in multiple-choice polls.

DNS or TLS errors in outgoing connections are considered fatal errors and not retried.
