Chapter 5: The Real Studio? 🧡🫡

quoting note1a8n…vn45

It’s finally time to say goodbye to Chapter 4 of my evolving one-day-it-will-be-a-real-studio setup.

After the crawlspace became a dried-in concrete basement, I was able to put together a very rough, but functional setup that was good for audio and video. It let me get a taste of what the finished product may enable.

But yesterday we confirmed that the plumbers will be coming in to rework the entire house plumbing, and lift it up between the joists so we have as much head room downstairs as possible. And for the downstairs plumbing we have to drill a couple of big sections out of the slab. Which means it’s about to become a disaster, and everything not in a box needs to be broken down, packed up, and moved out.

So last night, in the rain and while my son was sleeping, I silently began shutting down my entire setup, and even carried my whole desk through the door in the dark without making a sound (I think things are twice as heavy if you are silent while carrying it)

My whole networking system is currently out of operation: My raspberry pi, my Umbrel, My Start9, GLADOS (my Ai Linux machine), my big ass switch, and my downstairs miner are out of commission.

In fact I have tried to zap 3 times today and keep forgetting that ZEUS (npub1xnf…lpr5) is connected to my Start9 (npub126n…e9ll) so it starts spinning and after a second I remember,” you idiot your node is down, you can’t zap.” 🤣

This was a really cool setup, but it’s time to finish the basement and finally, FINALLY start putting together the real studio and workshop combo, and getting the first fully realized, permanent home for all of my shows and work.

Partly sad, but also really exciting. It’s closer every day…
