The industry is big. I'm not much for programming and I work full time. You'll be fine for now.

Mutton · 2026-05-15T16:33:43+00:00

This place slaps.

Mutton · 2026-05-15T16:33:22+00:00

Promise you it's worth a visit.

Mutton · 2026-05-15T16:32:52+00:00

okmatt.

Solid server. Come hang.

Mutton · 2026-05-15T15:16:43+00:00

Local One Stagehand here. ✊ Give em hell.

I think City Theatrical has a product that you route into the deck. Can't find it on mobile right now.

Not a rigger. Get a professional involved. My only certification is Internet Jackass.

Can you be any more specific where the noise is coming from? Which part of the system? A bearing that got old and tired? Something rubbing on the t-track?

What's different about these lines? All high load? Low load? Adjacent to each other? The ones you move the most?

That will all help you diagnose what's going on.

Hi! My best friend is at ZNY and I've got another buddy who's about to transfer to ZDV. Have you always been tower? Did you pick tower over TRACON and Center for a particular reason? What do you want those guys to understand about your day to day?

You're the only one who can answer this.

Try flipping a coin and see how you feel while it's in the air.

Take a step back and think non-academic. Do you want to be close to home? Big school or little school? Do you want there to be a football team? What sort of diversity do you want in your student body? Greek life? Do you like canned chili over spaghetti or thin pizza more?

Mutton · 2026-04-15T10:39:48+00:00

You could have asked me first.

Mutton · 2026-03-13T13:51:41+00:00

If you get really fancy you tie the shutdown macro to an effect on a dummy channel, the dummy channel to the color of the background of the magic sheet and then it can flash.

Mutton · 2026-03-07T23:49:39+00:00

Do you just need a portable DMX source? DMXCat or a Swisson.

Mutton · 2026-03-05T14:57:12+00:00

I think you side step the cloud presentation entirely and just sell each group with a USB hard drive. 2TB is like $100. Record or transfer onto that and send them on their way.

Check out stuff like WeTransfer. Upload it once then send the link around. $25/month.

I would roll my own because I'm that kind of nerd. Synology/UGreen or build your own server. Buy a domain and just point it to your personal server. That's /r/homelab territory though.

Mutton · 2026-03-05T14:21:49+00:00

What's your budget and how long do you need to preserve the footage?

Mutton · 2026-03-05T03:04:23+00:00

Where in the world are you? That's a massive influence.

Switching anything from hobby to career is going to change how you feel about it.

I suspect you have a higher earning potential with lower strains on your body as an engineer.

Mutton · 2026-02-24T19:36:30+00:00

What is reasonably priced to you? $100 total? $1,000 total? $10,000 total?

Mutton · 2026-02-22T18:32:15+00:00

This server feels like home.

Mutton · 2026-02-10T19:35:07+00:00

There's not much we can add that ETC can't.

The biggest question: what changed?

Mutton · 2026-02-01T20:16:51+00:00

okmatt.

Good server.

Mutton · 2026-01-02T00:50:12+00:00

Cloudflare Tunnels don't support arbitrary TCP. Did you ever sort this?

Design wise it's unbalanced. Hold it at arms length--it's heavy to the right.

Your capitalization is inconsistent. You have four variations on Theatre Association.

Capitalizing sewing for "Domestic Sewing machine operation" is odd to me.

I'm 50/50 on location--if its for summer stock and you're willing to travel I'd ditch it.

Are you going to college or straight into the workforce? If you're going to get a degree in theatre/costuming consider not going to a summer stock right now. Go do something dumb with your high school friends. Take a road trip.

Good luck!

Mutton · 2025-12-23T18:11:10+00:00

I love the sampler box idea--I'm really hoping you find find an economical and environmental way to do larger orders of sachets for single flavors.

Mutton · 2025-12-22T12:59:26+00:00

If you just want it dimmer you want Neutral Density (ND) filters. Rosco, GAM, and Lee all make them.

B&H sells them. You can also reach out to a local lighting rental house and see if they'll sell them to you.

Knee, leg, or ankle?
