This release marks two milestones that I'm really excited about:
1. With the introduction of built-in FTP deployment, another entry barrier for using Hyper 8 is lifted. No one needs to find, install and learn a separate FTP client anymore to deploy their site! Likewise, tutorials and guides for Hyper 8 now become much simpler when it comes to the final step of publishing.
2. In the last weeks I developed a new suite of tools for release communication. This is the first time I'm using it to create and publish both a release teaser image (attached to this post) and a release notes page (linked above in this post). While there is still a

While there is still a lot ahead in this meta-project (including its eventual release to the public as free software! :)) this already makes me very happy. •ᴗ• (For the origin story of this since early June, check this thread: post.lurk.org/@freebliss/11463…)
Thank you so much to netidee.at for funding this work on #hyper8 in 2025, as well as to this release's contributors - @dec23k, @lislegaard, @madskjeldgaard, @pfotenhauer, @fadimat ❤ - and lastly, thanks to Ryunosuke Kikuno, whose photograph is featured in the release teaser image!

What I'm listening to today: "Main Menu" (Mario Artist: Communication Kit), Hideaki Shimizu (Nintendo)
"Mario Artist" for the N64DD consisted of 4 separately-sold "games", of which this is the slightest and most utilitarian (a piece of modem software that let you upload and download creations from the other 3 games). It has possibly the most interesting soundtrack; it seemed to want to be unobtrusive, so it's minimal and ambient. This is a wonderful sparse techno track:

Update: I MESSED UP BAD!! Totaka did every Mario Artist EXCEPT this one! This one was nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Hidea… and so is even MORE interesting for seeing someone who was often a sound programming being allowed to make a soundtrack. I'm editing the post
Hideaki Shimizu is a programmer who works for Nintendo EAD, specializing in sound effects and sound programming. After working on Joy Mech Fight with Koichi Hayashida, years later he would become a full-time employee from the Nintendo 64 onwards.

I moved and couldn't take my keyboard with me that I used to write music & practice every day. I need a new one at my new place, so from now until the end of August, my Bandcamp albums will be $2 as I try to cover some of the cost. Thank you!
The model I'm looking to get is basically the newer version of the one I have used for the past 12-ish years: a Yamaha YDP-145. They range €850-€1200 depending on the store & if it's on sale, so I'm hoping to get one on the lower end of that.
Other ways to help if buying music is not an option would be to share this thread or subscribe to my YouTube channel! I am getting close to monetization and I know it's not going to be a lot at first, but everything helps! Thanks so much!
Odio trabajar solo _uno no comprende la soledad hasta que se le cae el lápiz cuando está en lo alto del tejadillo_ pero me encanta que los planes salgan bien. En las fotos; el antes, el después y el ahora de la entrada de la casa en la que vivo.
I haven't given up on the idea yet of trying to propose a music-related #devroom at the next #fosdem in 2026. I'm wondering what name could be used, though? Just "Music production" may be limiting, as that would cover, e.g., projects like Ardour or DrumGizmo, but not the likes of Faircamp, which helps musicians self-host their work. Finding the right scope (and abstract) for such a devroom might be challenging, but not impossible IMO. Any feedback/idea?

We just put up billboards demanding an explanation on why our MAGA opponent voted to hide the list. -- Yes, that list.
It's Esther Kim Varet: I promised you a Democrat who's a fighter, and who demands accountability, because that is the only way we win California's most flippable congressional district.
We are not letting Young Kim get away with 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 between now and election day, because we know the voters WILL remove her.
I'm not letting up, so I need you to not let up either.
Can you pitch in $10 tonight to make sure these billboards show up all across our district? CLICK: estherkimvaret.us/fightback
