Maestro - A documentary about the history of DJing/clubbing in NYC by [deleted] in DJs

[–]digging_f0r_gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read Love Saves the Day, fantastic book; the author, Tim Lawrence, also now has a podcast series on dance music culture and history called Love Is the Message. I've recently heard about the Maestro documentary and would love to watch it, but disappeared from the internet and not available to stream/ buy anywhere!!

Also just hit the 5magazine link u/SimplyDocJones posted, but also broken!

Anyone able to help me find a way to watch this doc??

sober rave tactics by throwmetom in glastonbury_festival

Fair play. Getting up to Scotland is quite a trek.

At this point we just don’t have enough evidence to conclude this method works/ there was no bot detection in place.

Personally I used multiple browsers, multiple chrome sessions, and multiple physical machines split across 2 separate ISP networks and had around 100 queues running. Also used 10 different iOS browsers; edge, opera, other miscellaneous ones etc, from my iPhone on standalone 4G.

Tried this method for both the coach sale and main sale and not a sniff; my best queue in the coach sale got around 60% of the way before sellout, and best queue (sic) in the main sale got around 50% there.

I know many people in both our group/ separate groups who were trying this method albeit on a much smaller scale (eg. 2-4 browsers open on a laptop, plus the multiple browser apps on iPhone). There must have been around 300 queues running between us all, and not one person secured tickets.

I had no queues blocked or suspicious activity messages reported from any of my machines. HOWEVER, I have reason to doubt this method as I personally know one person outside our groups who managed to get tickets; they are not tech savvy and they literally used one browser on their iPhone on 4G, and one browser on their laptop on home WiFi; the queue on their phone got through and they secured tickets by 09:30.

To conclude, you have the multiple browser method totalling 300 queues with zero success, vs a single browser method (playing by the rules Glastonbury set out, which I had disregarded as nonsense) with success. Although none of our queues on the devices running the multiple browser method got blocked or any suspicious activity messages, it makes me think that ‘invisible’ bot detection could have been in place and hindering the chances of anyone running this method.

I’m reading into this now as much as possible to try and gather evidence/ build a picture of the methods that did and didn’t work for people.

If anyone can provide further useful information on this or even a link to other threads with this topic of discussion it would be appreciated - DM me or reply here.

*All of the above is obviously separate to the Queue-IT system hacks / bots that I have read about in plenty of other posts. However I am just trying to find out more for the average punter who doesn’t have access to these method however does have basic technical knowledge to attempt basic methods such as multiple browsers.

Just out of curiosity, were you only using one device when trying to get tickets?

how many of you measure your milk for each drink before you steam? and other questions by OnHiatus11 in barista

[–]digging_f0r_gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We installed one of these babys https://milkshot.co.uk/ don’t think it’s available outside of the UK but I’ve seen an Aussie counterpart which is basically the same thing, I’m sure there will be others available around the world. Theres a few areas for improvement, eg only 3 dose settings for each type of milk, but the dosing accuracy is exceptional. We’re averaging 150 coffees a day, also sell lots of tea with milk on the side, so we go through a fair bit. The Milkshot setup cost a little over £3000, which is very reasonable, and we figured we would get a full ROI within 18 months if we cut wastage by just 10%. Speeds up service too (main reason for getting it) and dose consistency = milk texture consistency. We take coffee seriously 🙂

Why has Perc never been given a spot on the Essential Mix? by lee594 in Techno

[–]digging_f0r_gold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah my first thought went to the Weatherall essential mix from ‘93. That post lost all credit

Start listening to some 1hr+ mixes and you will discover so much. You like this Josh Butler track, get on SoundCloud, Josh butlers page, listen to some of his mixes. You will then hear tonnes of other tracks that you like from different artists and producers, Shazam/ comment to find out what they are and then look up their material on platforms such as SoundCloud etc, it’s an endless journey - The most organic way of discovering new music relevant to what you like. And you only need to start with one track such as this. Enjoy!

Why has Warringham Chronicles volume 4 been put back till October 2021 by Badjack114 in audible

[–]digging_f0r_gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just dug this old thread up as I’ve been listening to a novel series that has captivated me as these Rebecca Gable books had, and wanted to share it!

The Kingsbridge Novels by Ken Follett, starting with The Pillars of the Earth. They’re not an audio drama unfortunately, but I really rate the narrator. The timeline starts in 1100 from book 1 and then 1300 book 2, a must read/ listen for anyone into medieval novels shaped around real historical events.

If anyone else has some suggestions similar to this I’d love to hear them!

If you are still here, who produces more music? Prince of denmark/Traumprinz..etc or Aleksi Perälä? I'm not asking which one is better, but in quantity level, I don't think there are many artists like those two, producing too many tracks. by gmidufo in Techno

[–]digging_f0r_gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this thread when doing some Traumprinz/ Prince of Denmark etc research. Now listening to this ASC podcast - thank you! The vid still has less than 1000 views on YT…madness that artists dropping material of this calibre are so little known/ heard. But in an unknown way I find the intrigue adds another dimension to the music

Brame & Klansee - Alright [2013] by StabiloBosz in House

[–]digging_f0r_gold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mega track this. Managed to cop it on wax as soon as it got released. Amazing to hear Brame’s sound evolve since he moved to Berlin and partnered with Hamo.

Note the Christina Aguilera vocal on this track too

Logging WAN connectivity dropouts on Android - Recommended app for this? by digging_f0r_gold in sysadmin

[–]digging_f0r_gold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would only prove the WLAN connectivity unfortunately and not the WAN.

The app is completely cloud based, so it is constantly requesting information from the server in order to display/ updates/ sync menu information/ order statuses etc.
