  Hell yeah !! Dustin's here

  Now the real party starts!

  Oh yes. Let's get to it everyone

  Pit bull says dont stop the party!

  So do I. Where's Mr. Worldwide nowadays?

  Good question. Maybe laying low now that he has the money to do so!

  That he did and prolly still does. But I loved his music

  Yeah it was good vibing music

  Oh yes. He was a good rapper.

  I'd call him more of a pop star/singer

  Yah. But I guess he likes himself to be called a Latino rapper. Not sure if I read about it somewhere.

  ah i see. I didnt hear much rap from him but i only know his pop hits

  Does RackNerd have iDeal payment support?

  Hi @BasToTheMax -- If you're from the Netherlands, you should indeed see iDEAL as a payment option in FastSpring. To access FastSpring and see this option, simply select "PayPal" during checkout or on the invoice page, and you'll be redirected to the FastSpring payment page where iDEAL should be available.

  Let me know if you need anything else

  Oh yes. I have heard theya rent supposed to be for anything major, but they are good for smaller projects.

  yeah i think energy usage is a big standout for them too

  Yup. Arm though is changing

  Raspberry pi is my only exporsure to developing on ARM

  Min eis my Android box. Never seen an RPi in real life.

  They have buckets of them at some stores in the US. If you can find a microcenter they are bountiful but hard to find a microcenter

  I love MicroCenter! That's where I get all my Pi's from.

  How much do they cost at MC?

  Usually $10 less than MSRP. So a RPI 5 8GB is $69.99

  Those are good prices, if I am not wrong. They cost much more here

  Yeah they have surprisingly good prices for a brick and mortar store. The best part is I can drive 15 minutes and get one locally. Like last Christmas (Dec 2023) when RPI 5 was back ordered until like March everywhere online, I was able to grab an RPI 5 a few days before Xmas.

  I try to buy anything I can from MicroCenter instead of online to hopefully help them stay in business.

  That brings me to this. Doesn't MC have any kinda online presence at all?
  I have the habit of checking US prices just for fun every time I get some tech here locally in India. Blows my mind every time seeing how cheap they are in the US.

  Should I buy SoundCloud Go+? It allows me to connect to Serato DJ. This way I could play litterally all songs that are on soundcloud with my hardware

  one of my DJ friends has that, but if you have no internet in a club then you're SOL

  Can always uninstall it if you don't use it...

  rm -rf / too for easier uninstall

  Of just install the "correct" KDE theme, lol

  I am still searching for a way to sync my lights with my music, but idk how.

  What type of connector do they have?

  my lights? they use 3-pin DMX/XLR cables. Protocol is DMX.

  No personal experience but a quick search reveals quite a few reddit threads with solutions. Reddit is my favorite for answers.

  Ah mind sending those here ?

  https://reddit.com/r/lightingdesign/comments/kp2yho/automatic_music_synchronization_to_dmx_lights/

  https://reddit.com/r/lightingdesign/comments/18939wa/best_software_for_syncing_lights_with_music/

  https://reddit.com/r/lightingdesign/comments/xhpssk/is_there_a_way_to_have_dmx_lights_triggered_by/

  Well the problem is that SeratoDJ (the program i'm using) doesn't expose any information about the current playing music.

  Well of course i could make a system to turn on the lights based on the tones it hears, but it will have a small delay and is very basic.

  https://reddit.com/r/lightingdesign/comments/1auh7y7/how_to_sync_serato_and_lights/

  Only option really is SoundSwitch, but it's paid.
  That reddit post is useful, but a lot of people are also talking about how other programs can do it. Sad thing is that my hardware is limited to this program.

  I wish I could be of more help, but I haven't done any DJ work in probably 10 years, and back then I used VirtualDJ. I don't remember how we had the club lights synced with that either.

  had virtual dj! I have that as well. Throw back to the simplier times!

  I remember two turntables and records - throw back to a better time

  YEah it was so bascic but that was all you needed!
