@ClipHead Das mit den Fake-Amps ist auf jeden Fall 'ne Überlegung wert für zukünftige Auftritte! 😅
I repair/hack/make/destroy stuff on YouTube/PeerTube. RetroComputing, VintageAudio, Tinkering. As unprofessional as it gets. Anti fascist. Chaotic good. C64 rules.

@ClipHead Also ich spiele Gitarre in 'ner Nirvana Coverband, die kam bisher in meiner Altersklasse und auch bei jüngeren Leuten ganz gut an. Gibt aber nicht so arg viele „professionelle“ Nirvana-Coverbands bisher glaube ich. Für uns ist das ein (lautes und spaßiges) Hobby. :)
@NinaBernstein1 This is the way.
Trump told Springsteen to shut up. He didn’t.
His new album includes his Manchester, UK intro to “My City in Ruins,” telling the audience that in the United States the authorities were “persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.” He said that the nation was cutting aid to the poor, abandoning allies, rolling back civil rights protections, defunding universities and deporting people without due process. #Springsteen #resist #music https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/arts/music/bruce-springsteen-e-street-band-ep-trump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
@RoundSparrow Thanks! :) Same to you!
Gotta love how all professional grade equipment is designed to be easily serviced. (Well, at least audio gear from the 1990s). Very easy to get to everything major, top and bottom casing come off with a few screws (in proper brass inserts!), all important components and wires are labeled, driver chips are socketed. Neat. #InTheLabDoingStuff
My main repair project for today was my bicycle (the rear tire recently disintegrated completely, replaced it with a new one now). Next electronics project is this HH Electronic (now HH Audio) power amplifier from the mid 1990s. It’s likely still okay, just an inspection & clean. #InTheLabDoingStuff
Officially giving up (for now) on the #Amiga 500 I’ve been working on over the last couple of days. Still something messing up the communications to RAM but I can’t figure out what it is. I’ll set it aside and work on something else for the time being. Video about my attempts coming soon, though.

My pub has a stronger CoC than a lot of mastodon instances.
