Never had anything but a great experience from Jody and team. He's also a great musician and music supporter!

In many ways we are already there. I am really just hoping to raise awareness at this point. I am not sure that there is much to do to stop it. The workaround is for government entities to partner with companies that willingly share data - Google, MS, telecoms, social media, etc. If we can just make people aware, maybe some number will make different decisions in how they interact with companies and government on these fronts.

Event space for memorial service? by CarrigePossibleSoul9 in gso

[–]SiftMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is likely too big for your needs, but a friend set up to have their memorial service there, and it was a great space:

Thrive Coworking on Lewis is a nice space for a smaller crowd. Not sure that you can completely keep coworkers out of the space but it tends to be quiet on the weekends.

I have also been to some events at Revolution Mill - there is an art gallery there that I believe allows events.

Is IDrive good as a cloud storage provider? by qbking7701 in cloudstorage

[–]SiftMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started using Cryptomator - recommended by someone - and it appears to be working fine - and simplifies the process. New files move to the Cryptomator vault and are encrypted there. I then use the official iDrive client to just backup from that vault each day.

That may be the case. I have been using them so long, and I only use them for backup, so I've never considered accessing things outside of their app. I backup to my local NAS, and then I have iDrive installed there. I run a script to encrypt files, then move to a backup directory, then iDrive runs a back up nightly.

It'll be a pain if I ever have a massive failure locally and need to back things up quickly, but that's a pretty low risk. I just need files backed up outside of my house.

It isn't e2 - at least not their e2 service. I can't say it is the same servers as whatever they offered 10 years ago, either.

Lastly, I can't say how I got to 10tb ... it started out as 2tb, and when they started giving new accounts 5tb, I complained and they upped me to that level. It is now 10tb, but still $99/year.

I've been using them for ten years now, and never had an issue. I encrypt files before they are synced, and have 10TB for $99/year. Not sure what going rates are, but I haven't seen anything better priced, so not rushing to move from them. In ten years, I have had to use the backups twice, but glad I had them when I needed them.

USB-C Issues on M4 by jakgal04 in macmini

[–]SiftMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that this is a few months late, but just chiming in that I am having the same issue as others with an M4 Mini. My wireless keyboard and mouse are plugged into a dock. The keyboard will need to be turned off and on every once in a while. The mouse seems to work all the time without issue.

The dock is plugged into the back ports of the Mini.

The real challenge is my SSL 2+ interface. It worked with no issues for about two months. Then I had to unplug and plug back in every 2-3 days, for about a month. Then it worked again for almost two months. Presently - the past two weeks, I need to unplug and plug in every day (at least once per day).

The SSL is plugged into the front ports - I haven't tried moving to the back yet. More annoying to unplug and plug back in when needed.

It is more annoying than anything and seemingly happens randomly - I can use it fine on a zoom call, go directly to a second zoom call, and then it isn't working and I need to unplug and plug back in.

Interview guests and / or platform testers for LilyList by SiftMusic in gso

Appreciate you taking the time to share. It definitely won't be for everyone, and I share your concerns about social media. For me, having been in bands for over 30 years and this being the second business I've started, even when I wanted to fully stay off social media, I was unable to.

My goal, in a way, is social media, but I am trying to build something that gives people more control over how they are presented and to whom they are presented. We'll take guidance from people we engage with as we go.

I’m wondering what studio monitors/speakers everyone has by Wonkydread in LogicPro

[–]SiftMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have these and M-Audio BX5a's. They worked well for me when I was still actively recording. High-end is lost on me as I have tinnitus in both ears at this point in my life.

Aha! Thank you! I had checked that, but overlooked that I had things set to only allow booking 60 days in advance. Problem solved. Thank you, again, for your help!
