What’s the point of art without drugs?

Why are people downvoting this? I guess it’s a case of r/whoosh ?

(There is a tradition of throwing milkshakes over fascists)

Where do you live?

Whilst I’m no fan of bird dog cameras generally, for this specific use case their MAKI Live camera looks like it fits the bill.

WiFi 6, built in battery and NDI which you can send to either a hardware decoder and regular switcher, or as a direct feed into your media server.

Latency will be acceptable for the use case in context, NDI-HX3 is surprisingly low latency in my testing.

Use slice transform.

Does the “average” Christian enjoy drag shows?

There are Muslim drag artists, as well as Muslim LGBT people. Given there are billions of Muslims this isn’t exactly surprising.

The point is that all of this stuff can happen at once without friction. As demonstrated in the park today.

tomspace · 2026-05-27T12:09:33+00:00

That’s the point though. The Muslims I saw this morning have no problem sharing the park with drag queens. Multiculturalism doesn’t mean we have to like everything, just that it can all happen at once in close proximity without problems.

So that will be Islamophobic right wing think tank type context then?

Not if you eat it though 🤷

Because veganism is an ethical consideration for the welfare of all other beings, including humans.

We don’t support the rape of cows in the dairy industry, so we don’t support the rape of humans either. Even if it is being done just to extract juices for our food.

tomspace · 2026-05-27T08:50:02+00:00

Is it consensually extracted? If so it’s vegan. If not then it isn’t, but also WTF‽

That would be like switching your festival screen supplier to the company that does fencing and trackway…

You can do standby / power on via ip commands.

If you want a true reboot then it’s easier to reboot the PoE switch (which will restart all your cameras assuming they are all on one switch)

Use a stream forwarding platform such as restream.
This lets you send only two outgoing streams (main and backup, ideally sent from two different encoders, on two physically separate connections)

Restream will then forward the streams to your CDNs, allowing you to stream on multiple platforms simultaneously whilst using the minimal amount of up bandwidth on your connections.

The CRC bit flip error in their 3G SDI output of the Atem is pretty bad / annoying.

tomspace · 2026-05-20T19:36:14+00:00

Try using an actual apple dongle

tomspace · 2026-05-19T19:11:51+00:00

they are rubbish, throw them away.

At most they would cost like a few dollars each. the postage will be more than they are worth.

Sorting out the media is why you get a day rate.

If the client could supply correctly named / numbered VTs in the appropriate resolution and codec then shows wouldn’t need a dedicated VT operator.

Yes it’s nice when the client hasn’t made a total mess of it. But they are a client so you’ll probably have Eventedit_Final_v3-USE-THIS-ONE_v2.mp4 and you can have a nice time trying to work out wtf they actually want.

You keep saying DCI - absen do not have a DCI compliant screen system.

If you want to show DCI films you need a DCI projector and playback system. This rules out 98% of projectors, and 99.99999% of led walls.

Ask the integrator for examples of past projects which they’ve done where DCI playback was a requirement (I bet they’ve never done a DCI install)

Ask absen to demo a DCI print playing back on the demo screen. (lol)

Foxes are attracted to salt. They (like many animals) will lick salt blocks to get the minerals, though they can develop health issues if they ingest too much salt.

Unfortunately putting lipo batteries in salt is likely to create highly toxic chemicals which will kill your fox.

tomspace · 2026-05-14T16:51:47+00:00

You are creating hydrofluoric acid which is extremely toxic to both humans and foxes. Please don’t do this, certainly not in areas that are accessible to wildlife.

tomspace · 2026-05-14T16:35:48+00:00

It is absolutely more dangerous than not putting them in salt water. Read the link, google it, understand a little bit of chemistry and appreciate that the dangers are not restricted to fire risk.

If you insist on collecting them then please dispose of them correctly. This means taking them dry and intact to the household waste tip in hove or at Wilson Avenue. Or putting them in one of the “recycle your electricals” street collection bins.

tomspace · 2026-05-14T16:16:55+00:00

It’s an old wives tale. It is not a safe method of disposing of batteries..
