Re: "[gemini link] — konpeito.media Is it too early to be..."
Konpeito to me is the soundtrack for Gemini – I'll be sad when it's gone, but all good things do eventually end.

Konpeito was one of the first projects I discovered on gemini (I was late to the party). I remember how happy it made me to see such creativity and how it brought me back to being that awkward teenager who was creating mixtapes and recording stuff from radio himself.
I've since downloaded everything and put it on my navidrome instance, listening to the entire series again.
It was good while it lasted. Thanks for the cool vibes!
I've listened to Konpeito but didn't know it was going offline soon. Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to go through and download everything.
They released the latest and last one w/ the announcement it’d be down soon, right? Would it be ethical, say for instance, if mirrors were made to make sure it’s still made available? I suppose that’d be left up to permission granted expressly from baud themselves if that’s possible to do so. I loved being able to listen in in these mixes, they inspired me to attempt putting up my own audio via gemini. Glad to see it leave a legacy here, deeply embedded in the history of the gemini protocol.
Just double checked and cat gave express "heartfelt" permission to backup, archive, mirror, redistribute the konpeito mixtapes. There is a post on fedi announcing this exactly one year ago today.
As someone who is very sad they missed this boat, I would be eternally grateful for an archived copy. I'm happy to seed a torrent as well, I can make one if no one else has done so.

DeLorean to the rescue.

@kelbot I think perhaps the time machine only saved the first 5246976 bytes of each mp3. They all say they're about 30 minutes long but after downloading there's only a couple minutes of song, and they're all the exact same size. So perhaps they're not the full files.

@mediocregopher Try this link. I saw it in IRC about a week ago but can't remember who archived it.
I also have a full backup I could make available if needed.
I absolutely loved Konpeito, and coded SpellBinding while listening to all of it! It is timeless, in Gemini-time. I was really sad to have it end.

Thank you @moddedBear! I've scraped that and it seems like a much better source. Afaict the files are all there :D These are, indeed, amazing mixes

Is it too early to be nostalgic about KONPEITO? When I first got acquainted with Gemini and started working on Lagrange, these mixtapes provided a soundtrack that really put me in the right mood for the Smolnet. Anyway, KONPEITO is going down at the end of the month, so download/enjoy while you can.
