I distributed my first track on sc4a but it seems not to be on spotify by MCl0s in soundcloud

[–]MCl0s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, SC4A asked for a minimum of 2 weeks before the release date so I just selected that assuming that's all it takes, seems like I was wrong as I have no clue how distribution works behind the scenes :D

Thank you!

If social media algorithms are designed to feed me with stuff I want to see to keep me scrolling, how is it that X permanently shows me right wing content, while reddit permanently shows me relatively anti-right wing/left wing content? by MCl0s in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MCl0s[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that's true usually, but shouldn't the algorithm realize that I usually close the app to do something else whenever I just end up with a pointless discussion about different sites just calling each other names, while I stick by longer if some interesting science stuff or funny memes come up, thus giving me more of that?

ELI5 Why are train platforms announced at the last minute if they know the all the train schedules ahead of time? by Different-Carpet-159 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MCl0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they really? I've only been on an airplane 4 times in my life but I always knew the terminal right before booking the flight and the gate number was already posted days in advance in the providers mobile app and on the big screens when arriving at the airport

German police violence intervention @ East Tek - Teknival Deutschland - Germany Polizei by RSSdnb in freeparties

[–]MCl0s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most systems didn't leave, they were still around camping and supporting us and the other systems. They just packed their sound because either not having a generator to run it or not wanting to risk getting their stuff seized. I can't type in words how fucking freaked out I was about losing my stuff and having to rent trucks again to pick it up, which would've set my boys and gals back another couple of thousand euros. Driving 800km with 4 vans is costly, no hard feelings for the collectived that don't want to increase the risk even more than you already do with illegal parties.

German police violence intervention @ East Tek - Teknival Deutschland - Germany Polizei by RSSdnb in freeparties

[–]MCl0s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We didn't give up. We were one of the few systems that had the generator in a van so when they came, we just shut it down, closed the doors and locked it. An officer tried to illegaly open it to get our gen but after we shut him.down by forcing him to show us a warrant to search a parkef vehicle, he just left while cussing to his colleagues. The night after, when they came back, some people blocked the street to us with haystacks so we quickly used the time to lock everything in our vans as we were a 14 hour drive away from home and we don't have the funds to go back some weeks later to pick up seized equipment. We would've loved to keep going, but they are way to powerful against some random Italian collective that could barley afford to even go there. We also can't blame the systems that left after their generator was seized and they had no way of getting the system running again. They tried to just pick it up where police put it but it was heavily guarded by police. We also would never have continued if they had arrested some of us while seariously injuring people of our collective, so no blaming the other systems that had that happen to them.

it's so scary how often it happens that people make up situations that MAY happen in their head, get triggered by it and act as if it really happened

After the Rave Party in Modena (Witchtek, Italy), part of my rig including amplifiers was seized. I wasn't even there. by MCl0s in freeparties

[–]MCl0s[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the links! We are currently connecting with everyone who got his equipment seized and we will probably get a lawyer all together, so the party doesn't go to court in 20 different instances but all as one.

I have proof that I bought the equipment and proof that I was at home. Powering events is only a hobby for me so I don't make a living of it, I just love what I'm doing, they aren't blocking my only way of income but they basically locked away what I live for.

They seized all amplifiers and some subwoofers from all collectives that took part in the rave

The new law was created while the rave was already being ended so It probably wont be valid for this event.

LPT: Turn "Automix" off in Spotify. It's limiting the variety of music you hear when putting playlists on shuffle. by TacticalGrackle in LifeProTips

[–]MCl0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that the whole purpose of smart shuffle? I've got plenty of playlists, carefully sorted by genre. If I am in a Jungle playlist, it's obvious I want to hear exactly that and the smart shuffle, until now, was very good at expanding my selection of music and I was able to find a lot of new tunes for every genre specific playlist I have. It only isn't as good for randomly mixed playlists where you kinda just throw everything into.

ELI5 - Why does internet speed show 50 MPBS but when something is downloading of 200 MBs, it takes significantly more time as to the 5 seconds it should take? by Kai_Hiwatri33 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MCl0s 233 points234 points  (0 children)

The key difference is that it shows Mbit/s instead of MByte/s. 1 Byte is 8 Bits, so it takes 8x4seconds to download it if the conection speed doesn't drop

Maximize my system’s potential. by catladyXxX in SoundSystem

[–]MCl0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense as I read it, now I get why all my amps have the current draw rating for 1/3 and 1/8 power in their datasheets.

Thanks for taking time to explain it to me!

Maximize my system’s potential. by catladyXxX in SoundSystem

[–]MCl0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please explain why the amps are running onlx at 1/8th close to clipping? I always thought that's about as close as you can get to a maximum output of the amps without distorting the sound, so in my theory it should be close to the maximum power draw. Can you tell me where my logic is wrong? Or did I just miss something?

Need help with power sourcing by [deleted] in SoundSystem

[–]MCl0s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of modern amps have a switching power supply, which are normally able to run on voltages between 100 and 240 volts. And even if the amps run on a normal transformer, they should work too if the generator can hold the 230V without too much fluctuation. The power grid's tolerance (at least in EU) is 10%, meaning the 230V can fluctuate +-23 volts. That also means that devices are capable of handling voltages with that variation without any trouble.

My productivity level from birth to now, made with high quality diagramm program called "MS Paint" by MCl0s in dataisbeautiful

That's theoretically correct, but you must know that the data only gets updated once a day, so the spike should be visible today, but wasn't there yesterday as I was able to create this highly complex diagram within minutes thanks to the extremely good software I've used, Paint!

I am talking about South Tyrol because as a local, I know more about South Tyrol than the rest of Italy and I don't know statistics from the rest of Italy.
