They are finally asking people to work from home. It is so infuriating that it has taken so long.

I can look out the window right now and see construction workers all huddled around. I'm sure they have great insurance, but they are going to be taking up unnecessary hospital beds.

Anybody know if this is an #opensource install method, or do you need to use https://cinc.sh/ ? #chef

"Install it from source
Note that installing from OS packages from the download page is the preferred method.

That requires bundler:

bundle install
bundle exec bin/inspec help
To install it as a gem locally, run:

gem build inspec.gemspec
gem install inspec-*.gem
On Windows, you need to install Ruby with Ruby Development Kit to build dependencies with its native extensions."

I think a customer may have split line endings (CR/LF type stuff). I can change the ALL the line endings in Notepad++, but I want to just make a single change. How do I do that?

I have access to Linux, Windows, and Mac, so I can use probably any gratis tool out there…if I really need BSD, I can make that happen.

If all goes according to plan, the #CCCMA (#CreativeCommons Community Music Awards) will have a new set of regions for the US of A next year. We are going to try to get these regions smaller. Since the steering committee is based in the US, we are starting there.

I have people I would like to ask about regions for all of the regions except the following two:

#Hawaii and #Alaska (#Honolulu #Maui #Nome #Anchorage)
#NewMexico and #Arizona (#Phoenix #Tempe #Albuquerque #SantaFe)
Things could change, but if you want to know how things are working for this year’s version, here’s a blog I wrote: https://bdinls576.wordpress.com/2020/01/14/one-post-to-rule-them-all/

  One CC CMA Post to Rule them All
  
  By daw from Artist Formerly Known as DouglasAWh
  
  I was asked to write a bit about what it takes to be a Creative Commons Community Music Awards (CC CMA) judge for the 2021 edition of the awards.
  
  Executive Summary: The judge picks 5 recording artist nominees from their region to be voted upon. As the name implies, the recording artist must license some of their work under a Creative Commons license.
  
  Details:
  
  I. Criteria
  
  The judges can use whatever criteria s/he wants. Most judges use album release date, as the regions are large, so it is difficult to cover the local scene for an entire region.
  
  If you have a question, other than how to a find stuff, you are probably over-thinking it. You literally just give me 5 nominees from your region that release under Creative Commons. This is ridiculously simple.
  
  That said, I have included some questions I have gotten below.
  
  II. Why?
  
  There are many layers to why we are doing the awards. Specifically for the regions, it is a way for judges to learn their local scene.
  
  III. What sites?
  
  You can use any site. Literally. Any. Site. If you don’t know what a Creative Commons license symbol is, or how to look that up on the Internet, you probably are not going to find being a judge a good experience.
  
  That said, the real question is, does that site have licensing metadata? Spotify does not give licensing data, but you could listen on Spotify and then verify the license through another source.
  
  There tons of music sites out there. If you don’t see the CC logos on the site, then it’s probably not a place to find CC music. If you have questions, just ask!
  
  Bandcamp is my personal favorite.
  
  Jamendo seems to not be updating (the 2018 year in review is still on the home page), but more than that they do not give city information, which makes it very difficult for US judges. For international judges, Jamendo is an excellent choice.
  
  YouTube is not going to be a good resource because the license is for the video, not the song. Some musicians will post license details in the details, but YouTube is just not a reliable source.
  
  III. B. Netlabels
  
  Netlabels sites are a good resource, particularly if you have a particular aesthetic. There are too many to list. Below are a handful of active ones, in case you find the list at ClongClongMoo confusing.
  
  Releases
  
  Catàleg/Catalogue
  
  blocsonic.com
  
  http://bonimedia.pl
  
  IV. How to contact?
  
  My email is doug@blocsonic.com, but I am easy to find around the Internet. There are not a lot of Doug Whitfield’s in Minneapolis.
  
  We have a private facebook group. Once you pick a region, I can add you.
  
  V. Where are previous winners listed?
  
  http://ccmusicawards.com
  
  VI. Deadline
  
  Jan 15, 2021
  
  VII. What regions are available?
  
  Central America and Carribean
  
  Canada
  
  Africa
  
  Oceania (aka Australia and company)
  
  VIII. What genres?
  
  Any genre. Any language. The only requirement is that the musician be releasing some of their work under a Creative Commons license. Also, see Section I.
  
  IX. Where do I take notes?
  
  You can take notes wherever you like. Being a judge is like being king of a region, it’s just your only power is giving us 5 Creative Commons nominees.
  
  I use a Google Spreadsheet per region.
  
  X. Where do I submit?
  
  For now, just send your nominees to Doug, though we should probably have a better process in case Doug rides his bike off a cliff. Yes, Doug is mixing third and first person. I don’t know why.
  
  TBC…
