@bangbangcon The clipping usually means the microphone's gain (knob) in the mixer is too high (VU meter for mic will be going over 0dB red). The fix is lower the gain (knob) to stop the clipping, then increase the level (fader) for that mixer channel if it isn't anywhere near 0dB yet (otherwise lower main out on the mixer if THAT isn't near 0dB). But if everything is at 0dB already, people aren't close enough to the mic! For stage mics, be VERY close like you're eating them! (like a rock star)

@glyph Right on! Yeah, I don't have so much as napkin math but even $1k per dev per year seems reasonable to me. Seats for Adobe suite have always been pricey and are accepted as standard tooling for graphic designers, etc. and a part of budgets, so why not something similar for supporting open source projects?

@glyph This is a cool idea! I'm curious, any reason why $50? I'm just wondering if even as little as $5 would still have any efficacy (if not just being an easier sell to employers). Maybe it could stand to be more than $50 though?

@dielan how does it compare to Violent Night and Jack Frost?

Another fun thing is I totally forgot my Soundcloud (created in 2010?) was registered to its own bespoke Gmail account! Whoops.

A fun thing about finding some of these emails is Gmail used to include a "verification code" in the message, instructing you to keep the email / code. I'm guessing these codes maybe worked like nascent form of modern recovery codes?
