Aside from #retrocomputer collecting, I also have a couple of old #mechanical machines like these.
They really don't build them like this anymore.
;p
First post on #HomeServer! For those that don't know me, I'm an audio engineer/digital musician, new to the world of self hosting, Linux and RasPi (long time Mac/Logic/ProTools/Ableton user).
I don't like what the internet has become so decided to be change I want to see. I'll be posting idiotic questions about self hosting, privacy, coding etc. but also music, economics, tech and cats (of which I have two).
Feel free to connect :)
Getting commercial #radio play just isn’t something that happens for an #IndependentArtist like me, and yet there is one station in coastal #Oregon that has been playing a song from my upcoming album a whole lot.
I stream the station via their app, and I swear: every time I hear my #music in rotation I get giddy like a teenager.
Tonight at the end of the song, the DJ said, “that’s Shannon Curtis kicking off an hour of nonstop music,” and I just about lost it.
This will never stop being fun. 🤩
Exciting news! there's a new (in progress) YouTube archive of hours of footage from past decades of artists at the Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music (STEIM) ...
https://www.youtube.com/c/STEIMArchives
the archive is being created by former STEIM engineer, Nico Bes -- for me Nico was always a spiritual rock at STEIM, and the only staff member who had been there since the beginning (in the 1960s & 70s). Bless you Nico! You're really the living archive

STEIM (STudio for Electro Instrumental Music) was a center for research and development of new musical instruments in the electronic performing arts, located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Beginning in the 1970's, STEIM became known as a pioneering center for electronic music, where the specific context of electronic music was always strongly related to the physical and direct actions of a musician. In this tradition, STEIM supported artists in residence such as composers and performers, but also multimedia and video artists, helping them to develop setups which allowed for bespoke improvisation and performance with individually designed technology. In 2020 STEIM seized to exist due to lack of funding. This channel is part of the STEIM.archives project where we publish materials created at STEIM.
And we're back, upgrade complete!
Should give us some more breathing space during peak load times.
So how does Mastodon deal with YouTube links?
