@mathew I don't daydream any bigger than my back yard, mostly, but being able to help some local acts get their music in to our regional record stores has been a goal of mine for a while.

@mathew I'm not a billionaire, but I have slightly more money than I need, so I'm helping get some music out in the world.

I just found out that I'm going to get to release an LP from two of my favorite musicians next year, and I am genuinely pumped beyond belief, but also a little scared and overwhelmed at the prospect.

We're fronting the cost of manufacturing, and we'll handle basic distribution.

I have to figure out marketing and wider distribution.

Who wants to talk about this?

Wireless, unamplified transmission of television signal works with a fancy RF modulator and a length of wire as the antenna.

I get about a 50 foot range, line of sight.

I'll improve that with a better antenna, and then decide if I want to do anything fancier.

@Ethancdavenport I really like these. They have a real 1970s scifi vibe. We'll do another set like this, and then do some more space age/jet age/30s/40s/50s style ones.

What do you think?

Big thanks to @Ethancdavenport for doing all the work.

Due to the shortsighted decisions of Past Andrew I am now transferring multiple hundred GB of media at USB 2.0 speeds.

On the plus side, I'm only going to be moving a few hundred MB at USB 1.0 speeds. 🙃

@DHeadshot that sounds like a proxy issue. I'm not much of a windows user though. I'll poke at it during work tomorrow.

@Username_Here_ASAP Thanks, I'll read it.

@FiXato @aeonofdiscord that is interesting.

@FiXato it didn't look particularly scriptable, but it's in my list to try.

@aeonofdiscord Compiling now.

@aeonofdiscord The website says it started life a wing commander clone.

I'll see if I can get it to do what I want.

@aeonofdiscord I don't, but I'll look it up.
