Slides and backup audio I recorded on my phone are up. Video, with better quality audio, will be up once I get it compressed. Album reaction part will be coming tomorrow once I give my throat a break.
Also, uh, out of curiosity, how many of you actually watch / listen to my audio + video stuff? I can never tell if folks are actually reading my site updates vs. just liking them on the feed.
Video is up on PeerTube and embedded from there until I can get it small enough for Catbox. It's still transcoding, so I don't know when it'll be ready to watch. PT tends to be slow with MKV output from OBS.
Video embed is up on the page. I had to compress the shit out of it so it fit on Catbox, so go to PeerTube if you want remotely decent quality.
the 10 comment limit on here makes me pick and choose when 2 commrnt even if i like something
OK, thanks for the input. And yeah, that makes sense. I get why the comment limit exists, but it's kind of annoying sometimes, esp. since I do "live" updates in comments and tend to be wordy.
I'm probably going to do the song-reactions part on my phone, since NewPipe is faster to load and better at playlists than FreeTube. I will try to do the webinar on OBS, but I'm still not sure if it's healthy. I will be simultaneously recording audio on my phone, so if OBS glitches out, I'll upload the webinar audio and the slides separately. That way I don't have to break my flow to re-record.
Realized I hadn't updated the thoughts archive in a while, but also haven't been posting on thoughts.page much (been doing boring RL stuff). I can't decide whether my karaoke adventures go under personal (edge cultivation, socialization, daily life) or music (either EtF/FIR or other depending on what I do that night), so they're going on both.
Nothing about the PM2024 reviews has notably changed. I just noticed it didn't have consistent parenthetical formatting and was using obsolete tags, so I fixed that.
finally got it onto peertube, after, like, 2 hours of uploading. I have no idea when it's gonna be done transcoding or how I'm going to get it to roughly a 10th of its size so it fits on Catbox to embed. (psst: anybody know a video hoster that allows larger files and HTML embedding? filegarden stops at 100 megs)
uber-compressed 480p version of album reaction is now embedded on site; if you want better quality, you will want to use PeerTube
