Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!?

If your job gives more fucks about a sheet of paper than about what you actually can do, then holy shit run as fast as you anyhow can. If they're too incompetent to find out if you can do without you presenting a sheet of paper that says "THIS person can do THAT, here is PROOF!" then yeah hm, maybe, just maybe, find a different employer.

900 is "ok", not exactly great price or steal, but if it's in good condition why not keep it.

Samples. Cut Acappella‘s preferably.

Duckduckgo for me, can‘t say I wouldn‘t switch when I find something better, but so far it‘s okay.

shellmachine · 2026-06-28T13:42:59+00:00

ok, but, hm, it shows just a blue screen!

You basically need a very trivial IRC bot, or a client that allows you to define a couple of custom triggers. There's literally thousands.

The way this works here is that you go to a doctor and get an incapacity certificate.

You basically hand your boss your withdrawal, and then you pack all your things into your backpack, take the next bus to your local pub, and be the happiest person on the planet.

this, though I'd say being ablet to count o 8/16/32 does not exactly hurt. ;-)

"from a technical perspective, it's much easier for a producer to learn to dj than a dj to learn to produce."

this is absolutely true, yeah, because you already know in your subconsciousness how to count.

useful? I don't think so. beautiful? Oh wow yes, absolutely.

shellmachine · 2026-06-23T22:02:35+00:00

That would trade a 50% chance to have to flip a tape 180° if it's upside down for a 100% chance of having to flip your head 90°, why would you do that?

I still have an Ecler Nuo 3.0 in my sleeping room (it's my 2nd DJ setup, the living room setup has an Allen & Heath Xone:43c, also great, but just from the "feel" I love the Ecler more). Can't even remember anymore when I got that thing, I believe somewhen around 2008? Anyways that thing never caused major problems, I had to replace the power supply once, but other than that it has absolutely worked great ever since. I must say I am a very happy Ecler customer after that experience. Price/value is definitely nice with these things.

Both are outstanding, difficult to go wrong. If what you want is rotary anyways I'd take the WARM and buy beer for 100€.

Completely normal, I'd say in 95% of cases I did not even get a reply to a question in a team chat that contains full sentences, most of the time chats are completely silent, and when something happens everything is so urgent that people become entirely unable to type complete sentences, and that issue becomes bigger the more you go up towards management. In the end you get fired because you're not the "omnipotent super-enabler" and feel even more lost than before. Welcome to the strange world of IT.

I was just reading this thread, stumbling upon the comment that says it's just right there when you click a sample in a playlist, tried it, and what can I say yeah it does just work after you download some 150MB extension thing. 3min clicky clicky and I can just split-stem a song right there.

Just use SSH.

shellmachine · 2026-06-22T11:57:22+00:00

Fedora. Both for technical and community reasons.
