I feel like the last year has been a great push for me to slowly detach myself from giant companies and ensure what I do is in my control and ownership
Finally switched over to linux permanently
switched to firefox
enabled adblocker, sponsor blockers, and tracker removers
disabled autoplay and the recommendations sidebar on YouTube (highly highly encourage, though I still keep the homepage open so I can choose when to browse new suggested content rather than it pestering me)
downloaded all my tumblr posts and now host them parallel on my website (stuck here until we find some decentralized way of doing social media right)
cleared out 99% of my online storage to now be on multiple hard-drive backups
downloaded locally all my music
removed myself from basically every data tracking social media platform except this and YouTube
And now currently I'm trying to consolidate all my feeds into just an RSS reader.
It takes a long time and a lot of planning, but its very rewarding to take control over what you want to see, how you see it, how its formatted, ect. I find these are my steps to an easy transition off a certain service:
Download all your data and back it up. Now your account can be deleted at any time with no remorse.
Find browser extensions that enhance and modify the experience to what you might need. Use that to tangibly guide your preferences. Go ahead and remove the app on your phone if its there.
Research every alternative service and try them out. Begin moving certain activity exclusively to the alternative. Take time getting used to it and see if its better to try more alternatives.
Completely jump ship, delete the account, move all feeds or settings over.
Its an ongoing process but there's still probably a few more years of this to go through. Future plans are:
Completely remove all prior emails and self host a new one
Get off Discord entirely except for running the wiki server. It sucks that Discord is so prevalent. Probably move to various forums. Maybe look into some sort of forum management software such as how RSS feeds tame articles and videos into one place.
Setup adblockers directly into my router so ads won't even appear on phones.
Setup my phone to just straight up also run linux. There's a few mobile-designed linux platforms to look into until I decide.

Androbesity
BHM Weight Gain / Masculinization
Just chapters 1-4 for now.
Chapter 1: The Campus
Nestled in the arid desert between Las Vegas and Palm Springs, far from the prying eyes of the world, lies the Androbesity Campus. A sanctuary designed for a singular purpose: to normalize and encourage obesity in adult men. This secluded haven, reminiscent of a luxury resort, is an ambitious social experiment aimed at redefining societal norms and offering a new perspective on health, community, and self-worth.
The concept of Androbesity was born from the minds of visionary thinkers who saw an opportunity to challenge the pervasive stigmas surrounding obesity. They believed in celebrating the intelligence and unique attributes of obese men, providing them a space to thrive without the constraints of a society that often judges them harshly. Thus, the Androbesity program was established, inviting one man from each U.S. state and territory, including Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa, to live on the campus for four years, from ages 22 to 25.
Each year, 54 men are selected based on three criteria: high intelligence, significant obesity, and a commitment to fully participating in an experimental community. These men are chosen not just for their physical attributes but also for their potential to contribute intellectually and socially to the community. By the end of the four-year cycle, the campus hosts 216 residents, creating a diverse and dynamic environment.
Located in the harsh, sun-baked desert, the Androbesity Campus is a self-contained oasis where no one needs to venture outside. The campus is also a hub for research into supporting the complications and modifications required by an obese adult population. AO Corp, the organization behind Androbesity, is developing products designed to promote obesity and make it more socially desirable. Their efforts extend to media development, including informational programming, reality shows, and scripted series, all aimed at making an obese lifestyle more visible and accepted. Some former AO Men have already transitioned into careers as paid actors for AO Media, becoming the faces of this new movement.
The men arrive at Androbesity with varied backgrounds, each bringing their unique perspectives and experiences. They are introduced to a world where their size is not just accepted but celebrated. Here, they live and work remotely, supported by state-of-the-art facilities that cater to their every need. The campus is equipped with luxurious living quarters, expansive recreational areas, and cutting-edge technology, all designed to foster a sense of belonging and well-being.
Upon arrival, the new residents are greeted by a welcoming committee of peers and staff who guide them through the orientation process. The campus is a self-sustaining ecosystem, with each resident contributing to the community through remote work and participation in communal activities. The emphasis is on building a supportive network where every individual feels valued and empowered.
Among the new cohort are diverse individuals such as:
- Malik from New York, a talented musician whose creativity flourishes in the supportive environment of Androbesity. His initial skepticism about the program gives way to appreciation as he finds himself inspired by the communal spirit and the freedom to express himself without judgment.
- Joshua from South Carolina, a dedicated software developer who finds the campus’s advanced technological infrastructure ideal for his work. He discovers that the environment not only enhances his professional life but also provides a supportive community that encourages personal growth.
- Diego from Puerto Rico, an innovative entrepreneur who sees the potential in AO Corp’s mission. He brings his entrepreneurial spirit to the campus, collaborating on new product ideas and enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded individuals.
- Matt from Wisconsin, a former athlete whose journey to obesity has been one of both physical and emotional transformation. He finds solace in the acceptance and understanding offered by the Androbesity community, allowing him to redefine his identity and embrace his new lifestyle.
The gates of Androbesity symbolize a threshold to a new way of life, one where these men can explore their potential without societal pressures. The campus, with its lush gardens, sparkling lakes, and modern architecture, is a place of beauty and tranquility. It is a closed society, with strict privacy measures in place to ensure that the residents can live freely without external scrutiny. Visitors are allowed only on designated visiting days, twice a month, ensuring that the integrity and serenity of the community are maintained.
As the first chapter of this epic unfolds, we follow the journey of these men, each from a different part of the United States and its territories. Their stories will delve into their daily lives, their interactions, and the unique social structures that develop within this experimental community. It will explore how Androbesity reshapes their identities, fosters deep bonds, and creates a space where they can redefine what it means to live fully and unapologetically as obese men in modern America.
Through their stories, we will witness the power of acceptance, the strength of community, and the profound impact of living in an environment free from the limitations imposed by conventional societal norms. Welcome to Androbesity, where a new chapter in the lives of these remarkable men begins.
Chapter 2: Guaranteed Gains
From the moment they step through the gates of Androbesity, the men are enveloped in a sense of liberation. Here, their obesity is not just accepted but embraced, and they are encouraged to explore the fullness of life without the typical societal constraints. Yet, hidden within the layers of welcoming gestures and luxurious amenities lies an unspoken truth: weight gain is not just an expectation, but a requirement.
Buried in the fine print of their contracts is the clause that binds them to a pact of inevitable transformation. Each year, the Board of Directors of Androbesity convenes in a secret meeting to determine the minimum weight gain for that year. The specifics vary, depending on the scenarios the Board wishes to explore and the occupations of the men. This calculated approach ensures that each individual’s experience aligns with the overarching goals of the experiment.
The men are never informed of the exact minimum weight they are expected to gain. Instead, they are monitored closely, and if they fall behind, they are gently but firmly guided back on track. Monthly assessments by Androbesity’s team of specialized doctors ensure that every resident is progressing towards the unseen target. The corrective actions are subtle yet effective, tailored to ensure compliance without overt confrontation.
Resistance is not uncommon. Some men, buoyed by their newfound freedom, may attempt to assert control over their bodies, choosing to eat less or even trying to lose weight. These periods of rebellion are anticipated by Androbesity, serving as opportunities to test and refine their methods for countering diet resistance. The doctors at Androbesity, known as AO Doctors, never argue or confront. Instead, they employ a range of psychological and physiological strategies designed to ensure compliance.
For example, Malik from New York, a talented musician, initially resists the constant indulgence. His strict regime soon falters under the relentless hospitality of Androbesity. Meals are tailored to his tastes, abundant and irresistible. The supportive environment subtly reinforces positive associations with overeating, making resistance increasingly futile.
Joshua from South Carolina, a disciplined and health-conscious software developer, tries to maintain his previous eating habits. However, his environment soon proves too tempting. The campus's advanced technological infrastructure and social activities make it easy for him to lose track of his calorie intake.
Diego from Puerto Rico, an innovative entrepreneur, views the mandated weight gain as a challenge to his autonomy. His initial attempts to maintain his weight are met with increased social activities centered around food. The pressure is never overt, but the implications are clear—he is expected to participate fully in the culinary culture of Androbesity.
Matt from Wisconsin, a former athlete, struggles with the psychological aspects of his weight gain. His competitive nature drives him to challenge the system, but the community's acceptance and understanding begin to erode his resistance.
As the year progresses, each man’s journey towards the mandated weight gain becomes a testament to Androbesity’s underlying mission. The methods employed to ensure compliance are meticulously documented, providing invaluable data for the Board. These strategies, once perfected, hold the potential to extend beyond the campus, influencing societal norms and promoting universal male obesity.
The men, immersed in their lives on the campus, become living experiments in a controlled environment designed to reshape their identities and physicalities. The careful balance of freedom and control, indulgence and discipline, creates a unique dynamic where resistance is met with gentle yet unwavering redirection.
Chapter 3: The Call
The camera panned over the serene, sun-soaked landscape of the Androbesity campus, capturing its pristine beauty before cutting to a close-up of Malik, seated comfortably on a plush armchair in his well-appointed room. The setting was warm and inviting, designed to put him at ease as he prepared to share his story with the world. The AO Media team had set up the perfect ambiance, with soft lighting and a backdrop that highlighted the modern elegance of the campus.
Malik took a deep breath, his dark eyes reflecting a mix of emotions as he began to speak. "When I got the call from Androbesity, it was a moment of pure disbelief. I mean, how often do you get a call telling you that you’re both incredibly intelligent and, well, significantly overweight?"
He chuckled softly, the sound tinged with a hint of irony. "It’s a strange combination, right? Society doesn’t often put those two things together. You’re either seen as the smart guy or the fat guy, rarely both. But here I was, being recognized for my intelligence and my size. It was surreal."
The video cut to scenes of Malik’s life before Androbesity: a cluttered apartment in New York, stacks of music sheets on a piano, and glimpses of his bustling life as a musician. The narration continued over these images, providing a glimpse into the world he had left behind.
"I was always torn between my passions and my appearance," Malik explained. "Music was my escape, but my weight was always this shadow hanging over me. When the call came, it felt like someone had finally seen me for who I really am—a talented, intelligent man who also happens to be obese."
The video shifted back to Malik in his room, his expression growing more introspective. "There’s a conflict that comes with that call. On one hand, you’re flattered and excited. Androbesity is prestigious. It’s an honor to be chosen. But then there’s the other part of you that questions it. Am I really that fat? Can I really leave my life behind for four years?"
He paused, his gaze drifting as if recalling the moment vividly. "But then you think about the opportunity. The chance to be part of something bigger than yourself. To be in a place where your size isn’t a burden but a badge of honor. And the more you think about it, the harder it becomes to say no."
The scene transitioned to Malik walking through the campus, interacting with fellow residents, and engaging in various activities. The sense of community and acceptance was palpable, a stark contrast to the isolation he had often felt back in New York.
"Androbesity isn’t just about living with your size," Malik continued. "It’s about gaining perspective, gaining confidence. Here, you’re not just accepted; you’re celebrated. Your intelligence, your talents, your size—they all matter. They all make you who you are."
The camera zoomed in on Malik’s face, capturing the sincerity and depth of his words. "So, why don’t you say no? Because deep down, you know this is a chance to be part of something revolutionary. To challenge the norms, to embrace who you are fully. It’s not just an experiment; it’s a new way of life. And that’s something you just can’t walk away from."
While Malik spoke passionately about the community and acceptance at Androbesity, he never mentioned the weight gain explicitly. This unspoken rule was well understood among the residents. Discussions about their weight and the expectations surrounding it were kept private, shared only with trusted friends and the AO Doctors. On camera, the focus remained on the positive aspects of their experience, maintaining the program's image of empowerment and self-discovery.
The video ended with a panoramic view of the Androbesity campus at sunset, the sky ablaze with colors, symbolizing the dawn of a new era for men like Malik. As the screen faded to black, Malik’s final words resonated in the silence: "This is where we redefine what it means to be smart, to be fat, to be human."
Chapter 4: The Bottomless Plate
Matt sat at the long dining table, the last of his fellow residents having long since left. He speared the final piece of roast beef from the platter in front of him and savored it, wondering if tonight would be the night they told him he couldn't have more. The thought gnawed at him, almost as much as his insatiable appetite.
In his former life in Wisconsin, Matt was accustomed to being told when enough was enough. At every buffet and family gathering, there came a point when someone would gently suggest he’d had his fill. But here at Androbesity, things were different. No one had yet told him to stop, and the abundance seemed limitless.
"Can I get more of that dessert?" he asked a passing server, pointing to the now-empty plate of chocolate cake.
"Of course, Mr. Matt," the server replied with a smile, heading back to the kitchen without hesitation.
Matt leaned back in his chair, his belly pressing against the table. He glanced around, noting the discreet cameras mounted in the corners of the dining hall. He knew they were there, but he didn't realize their full purpose. AO Media captured every meal he consumed, creating timelapse videos of his expanding stomach. These videos were studied in board meetings, analyzed for insights into their subjects' growth and behavior.
While Matt feared the day they might say no, AO Corp had no intention of letting that happen. His voracious appetite was precisely what they wanted to encourage, a living testament to their philosophy. The more he ate, the more valuable his data became for their research and media content. They were always prepared to bring more food, always ready to satisfy his cravings
Yet, the staff maintained the illusion of potential limits. They never outright offered more food unprompted; they waited for Matt to ask, ensuring he felt a sense of agency and uncertainty.
As he waited for his dessert, Matt pondered his peculiar situation. "They'll have to cut me off someday," he mused, half to himself. "No one can eat like this forever without someone stepping in."
But the truth was, the staff had no plans to curb his consumption. The more Matt ate, the more compelling his story became for AO Media, and the more data they collected on his extraordinary growth. His gradual transformation was a critical part of their secret plan to understand and promote the acceptance of obesity.
The server returned with a generous slice of chocolate cake, even larger than the last. Matt's eyes widened with delight as he dug in, savoring every rich bite. The cameras recorded his every move, capturing the subtle changes in his body with each meal.
"Enjoy, Mr. Matt," the server said warmly before leaving him to his feast.
Matt wondered how long this unlimited bounty could last. He finished the cake, feeling the familiar mix of satisfaction and curiosity. But for now, there were no limits in sight, only the promise of more.
And so, he continued to indulge, blissfully unaware of the true extent of Androbesity's plans. The staff remained ever accommodating, refilling his plate as many times as he requested, ensuring that Matt's journey of growth would never be interrupted.

Welcome to The Aureum
Tumblr media
Hi! I'm a newer software dev, but with a long history with programming (thanks to this accursed site in 2014 and my desire to join robotics) I also happen to love writing and art, and have a lot of OCs. I always struggled with keeping them organized and finding a software that works for me.
Enter, The Aureum!
What is The Aureum?
The Aureum is a work in progress web based app made with electron that I am working on so that I can organize my characters in a bit of a different way. A lot of elements and planned features take inspiration from the fandom community wiki, mixed with some of my other favorite world building websites that just ended up not being a good fit for me.
I made this blog so I can easily keep track of my development progress on this, and maybe make some cool new friends in the process.
What does it do?
Currently? Very little, other than make characters with information.
However, I'm currently working on a number of features, one of my most ideal features being project organization. This would allow me (and other users ofc) to sort their OCs and locations BY the project. Maybe you're a writer working on a few different series/stories at the same time, and you need some way to seperate them. Maybe your a game dev, visual novel creator, etc and you just want to have some way to store all of your story and character information in one place.
I also have some more fun and 'unique' features that are being worked on, like an automatic reference sheet generator, which prints out some of your characters information like name, age, height, weight, body type, and some of your preselected colors.
Another favorite feature I'm working on are the personality sliders! In the characters page there are sliders that you can edit to have a little more of a 'fun' view of how your characters act. Here are some screenshots of the layout from within Figma!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Currently, I'm setting up the data storage structure so that we can input all of this character information and still be able to create a project after to put the character in. But while I'm still working out the kinks, here's a list of the main planned features that will be implemented before i send it out to friends to alpha test!
Features
Multiple Projects/ Worlds
Entirely locally hosted, no internet connection required
Personality sliders
Character sheet generator
Timeline feature per project/world
Ability to link to sources and citations
Relationship linking between characters (Similar to fandom wiki setups)
The Aurei - The golden ones, your favorite OC's flagged so that you can access them faster, especially if you have favorites from multiple projects.
Random generation features, for things like art prompts and writing prompts.
Ideas for future releases
D20, d6, etc dice roller
Fake social media screenshot generator similar to twinote or photonote
Additional timeline just on a character by character basis
Ability to sort OCs by tag - by gender, species, location, etc.
Dark mode (maybe custom color palettes for later that users can upload/customize via css)
and more!
Okay but when will it be done?
Truthfully, who knows? I'm solo deving this software for fun, while working a full time job on top of my normal small game projects I make. It might be functional in a few months, or it might take a few years. Ultimately, I have no timeline for this project, and I want to be up front right out of the gate. Once i get a stablle build with the main character and project features implemented and organized, I'll send it off to friends to alpha test, and if all goes well for a few weeks, then I'll post the alpha build for others to use.
Why are you doing this?
the short answer is just because i want to. The longer answer is because, while I love using things like notion, obsidian, metos, worldanvil, etc. I find that there's always one or two things missing from each of them that I'd personally like to have. A lot of these softwares/websites are created with specific things in mind, like note taking, etc. But for me, I make games, i do art, i write stories, and I'm a DND Dungeon Master, so not all of those softwares will work for my every project.
I wanted to make something that would work for everyone, for all of their creative needs.
Also a mini note, to anyone who comes back and sees this or is curious, this project *will* be free on release to the public and likely hosted on itch.io. There are currently NO plans for an online sync or any only features, as that is not within my devstack or technical abilities at this time.

Skip the Ads and Convert YouTube Videos to MP3
YouTube has emerged as the preferred platform in the digital age for finding and enjoying podcasts, videos, music, and much more. Sometimes, nevertheless, users might prefer to listen to their favourite songs solely in audio format or offline. The idea of YouTube MP3 and YouTube to MP3 converters enters the picture here.
What is YouTube MP3?
"YouTube MP3" describes the process of turning YouTube videos into MP3 audio files. This helps users save bandwidth and battery life by enabling them to extract the audio from any YouTube video and listen to it offline without streaming.
Why Convert YouTube Videos to MP3?

Is Blogging Still Relevant in the Age of Tiktoks and Instagram?
Tumblr media
You might be wondering if blogging still holds its ground with the rise of TikTok and Instagram. The answer is a certainly yes! While these platforms are fantastic for quick, eye-catching content, blogs offer a special space for diving deep into topics. They allow for rich storytelling, comprehensive guides, and a personal touch that helps foster community and build trust. Many readers still seek out blogs for detailed insights and tutorials that shorter formats can’t provide. Plus, a well-crafted blog can drive traffic to your social media profiles, enhancing your overall online presence. In this ever-evolving digital landscape, blogging remains a powerful and relevant tool!
About Instagram
Since its 2010 launch, Instagram quickly gained popularity, now boasting over one billion active users. While many content creators favor Instagram's visual appeal and immediacy, its limitations, such as non-clickable links, hinder blog promotion. As Instagram evolved into a hub for curated content, it has overshadowed traditional blogging, leading some bloggers to transition entirely to the platform. However, the depth and engagement of well-crafted blog posts remain unmatched by shorter social media formats.
Instagram User Growth from 2013 to Present
Tumblr media
About TikToks
In the first quarter of 2019, TikTok was the most downloaded app from Apple’s iOS App Store, rapidly gaining widespread popularity. Its influence has even extended to Instagram, where numerous food posts feature popular "TikTok recipes," such as baked oats and feta pasta. Additionally, Instagram Reels appear to draw inspiration from TikTok, and the platform tends to prioritize accounts that utilize this feature. While achieving growth on Instagram can be difficult, TikTok's algorithm allows users to go viral regardless of their follower count, highlighting a key difference between the two platforms.
Tiktok’s Exploasive Growth from Launch to 2024
Tumblr media
Why Were These Platforms were Acknowledged by Most Society
Joining platforms like Instagram and TikTok is straightforward. Users simply sign up and begin publishing content without the complexities associated with traditional blogging. There is no need to manage a DNS server, purchase a domain, pay for hosting, or install software like WordPress. Additionally, users do not have to navigate themes or widgets. All that is required is a mobile phone, which allows for easy photo editing with applications like Lightroom and VSCO, enabling the creation of a visually appealing Instagram feed. TikTok similarly simplifies the video editing process within the app, eliminating the need for advanced software like Final Cut Pro or Adobe’s suite.
Furthermore, Instagram and TikTok offer the potential to reach a vast audience. As Valentina Chirico notes, every influencer seeks to expand their reach, and both platforms provide opportunities to present content to millions. The audience is already present; creators only need to ensure their content is visible. In contrast, blogging often requires significant effort to build an audience, especially if one is not already prominent on search engines like Google or Pinterest. Blogging typically revolves around long-form content, which can be at odds with the fast-paced consumption habits of today’s mobile users who prefer quick, engaging posts. Consequently, brands are increasingly inclined to collaborate with Instagram and TikTok influencers, sometimes overlooking traditional bloggers, which can lead to frustration for those who feel well-suited for such opportunities.
Is Blogging Entirely “Dead”?
Tumblr media
Despite predictions that blogging may decline due to the rise of social media, I firmly believe blogging remains relevant. While the audience and consumption methods are changing, with a greater focus on problem-solving content and SEO-driven traffic, blogs continue to thrive as part of a broader content marketing strategy. Additionally, blogs provide greater control and security compared to social media platforms, where accounts can be banned or deleted. Personally, blogging remains a full-time, profitable venture, proving its continued value.
Will Blog Still Exist?
Despite predictions that blogging may decline due to the rise of social media, I firmly believe blogging remains relevant. While the audience and consumption methods are changing, with a greater focus on problem-solving content and SEO-driven traffic, blogs continue to thrive as part of a broader content marketing strategy. Additionally, blogs provide greater control and security compared to social media platforms, where accounts can be banned or deleted. Personally, blogging remains a full-time, profitable venture, proving its continued value.
How Will Blog Change Towards The Future
Tumblr media
Blogs somehow will find it’s way to change in several ways. As generative AI gains popularity, storytelling will take on greater significance. Blogs will evolve into tools for building personal brands, making it more challenging to stand out. Ultimately, blogs are likely to shift into digital publishing enterprises.

Writing an eBook Involves Several Key Steps
Creating an ebook can be both a rewarding and strategic process, especially when following a detailed roadmap. Here’s an expanded version of the steps:
1- Plan and Outline: Begin by identifying the purpose and core message of your ebook. What problem are you solving, or what story are you telling? Research your target audience to tailor your content specifically to their needs and interests. A strong outline helps you stay organized and ensures you cover all essential points. Break your book down into chapters or sections, with each addressing a key aspect of your topic or narrative.
2- Write the Content: With your outline as a guide, dive into the writing process. Set daily or weekly writing goals to maintain momentum. Stay authentic to your voice and keep your audience in mind throughout the writing process. Whether you’re crafting a fiction novel or a non-fiction guide, aim for clear, engaging, and informative content that adds value. Focus on providing a unique perspective or insights that differentiate your ebook from others in the market.
3- Edit and Proofread: After completing your first draft, step away for a while before revisiting it with fresh eyes. This distance can help you spot inconsistencies or areas that need improvement. Consider hiring a professional editor or using tools like Grammarly for grammar checks. Editing isn’t just about fixing errors; it also involves improving sentence structure, tone, and the overall readability of your book. Proofreading should be the final step to catch typos, formatting issues, and other minor mistakes before publishing.
4- Format Your Ebook: Ebook formatting ensures that your content looks professional across different devices, whether it’s being read on a Kindle, tablet, or phone. Platforms like KDP and Apple Books have specific requirements, so use formatting software or services like Calibre or Vellum to ensure your ebook is ready for digital publication. Don’t forget about the importance of a visually appealing cover – it’s often the first thing a reader notices. A well-designed cover can significantly increase your ebook’s appeal.
5- Publish and Promote: After formatting, choose your platform for distribution. Shabd.in is one of the most popular platforms, but you might also consider Apple Books, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Kobo, or Google Play Books, depending on your target audience. These platforms often allow authors to set pricing, distribution options, and even choose royalty rates. After publishing, the hard work of promotion begins. Utilize social media, your website, email newsletters, and even paid ads to get your ebook in front of potential readers. Offering free sample chapters or hosting a virtual book launch can help build momentum.
By following this comprehensive guide, you’ll not only produce a high-quality ebook but also effectively promote it to reach a wide audience, ensuring your ebook’s success.

— WELCOME TO STUDIO DELTA'S FIRST BOOTCAMP: SONGWRITING !
on the morning of wednesday, november 29, all trainees from the axis labels companies get word that studio delta will be hosting a songwriting camp in the weeks preceding christmas. later on the same day, everyone receives official instructions about the event via email. 
from december 11 to december 23, all current trainees are invited to join studio delta’s songwriting bootcamp at the axis labels facility in the seocho district. during this time, participants will have the opportunity to exchange their regular afternoon classes for an immersive experience hosted by studio delta’s in-house producers and lyricists (including senior artists Jude and EJ), as well as outside professionals with vast experience in the industry. trainees will get to study music theory and composition, classic instruments, lyric writing, production software, trends in pop music, and more. 
the activities during the bootcamp include, but are not limited to: 
lessons by the main songwriters for darl!ng and quartz
a lecture by senior artist EJ of BLTZ on writing compelling rap verses for k-pop tracks, as well as music production 
lessons on the current market of lyric writing, modern trends, and social media influence
a lecture by senior artist Jude on writing for duets and other collaboration tracks
separate, smaller lessons for anyone wishing to learn the basics of a new instrument
demos of state-of-art production software
at the end of the two week period, every participant is required to have written a song, either as a soloist or in collaboration with other participants. as per usual, the rights to the songs belong to the trainees’ companies, though participation in this camp will be taken into consideration when choosing songs for the next generation of idols. 
on the last day of the camp, on december 23 starting after lunch break, a christmas party will take place in studio delta’s main auditorium, where participants will get to socialize with all the instructors and do some final networking. the stage will also be prepared for a small talent show, should any trainees want to showcase their new lyrics to the audience. as the focus of this camp is in songwriting, members are reminded that oftentimes proclaiming the lyrics as poems does the trick, though they are welcome to produce melodies to accompany it if they’d like.
with this event, the companies are eager to see which of their trainees shall stand out as songwriters for their future groups. studio delta in particular hopes to have the most participants out of the entire roster, of course.
happy writing, everyone!
OOC:
with this event, we also introduce wannaberp’s new career token opportunities and the songwriting claim system. this is our way of giving muns the opportunity to start tailoring their muses’ careers in the entertainment industry, as well as a fair system for everyone to claim certain opportunities. for now, the only claims system available is of songwriting, with more to come once we are confident this system is working as intended. of course, as this is our first official step towards a debut system, any feedback is welcome!
hello and welcome to wannabe’s first trainee bootcamp! this is for trainees only. in-character, the bootcamp lasts from december 11 to december 23; out of character, this event runs from today until 11:59pm EST at the end of wednesday, january 10 2024.
please use the hashtag #BE:SONGWRITINGCAMP for all posts related to this event.
FOR +3 COMPOSITION POINTS AND +2 PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING POINTS, please write a 300+ words solo or a four-post thread about your muse’s participation in any activity of the event. this can be claimed up to three times.
FOR +5 CREATIVE DIRECTION POINTS, please write a 300+ words solo or a four-post thread about your muse’s process while writing the mandatory song for the camp. this can only be claimed once.
for participating in this event in any capacity, all trainee muses receive one free career token that can be redeemed for songwriting credits related to this event. this token will expire at the end of the event if it is not claimed.
muns can use the posts relating to this event as their monthly trainee replies if they’d like.
when you’ve completed all options that you’d like to participate in, please sent the following form to our points submission blog:

Physical media discourse on here feels... weird (this is a long post)
I agree on a fundamental level that the move towards drm-based streaming licenses is bad, and that the perpetual-personal-content license (read: the license most DVDs are under) is a thing we should maintain, at least as a stopgap until the vanguard of communism empowers us to rewrite IP law.
That said, the language positioning Physical vs Digital, the insistence that anything other than physical media is bad, and the upholding of DVDs as a gold standard, all read to me as kinda tech-iliterate, and thus ignorant of the real issue at hand.
The primary issue with streaming, which folks on Tumblr *have* correctly identified, is to do with Access control.
The primary issue with streaming is that it requires a regular subscription payment, to exclusively view content under a license that can be revoked at any time for any reason.
This is the mechanism by which Netflix can kick you off your friend's account, this is also the mechanism by HBO can scrub Infinity Train from existence as a tax write-off.
This system is unequivocally bad, and the reason it's bad is because of DRM and Access Control. This may seem pedantic, but is an important distinction.
Let's take a look at DVDs now. Most DVDs are distributed under a license that grants you perpetual access to view in a private setting, but not to redistribute the content.
This is what that FBI warning that plays at the top of every DVD is trying to tell you, and is why ripping a DVD, while simple, is technically illegal.
Because the video file is hard-encoded into the DVD, and its proliferation largely predates the IOT zeitgeist, *most* DVDs don't contain any access control measures beyond that legal text, but this is not universal.
youtube
This is a great video outlining FlexPlay, an ill-faded technology that used a disk with light-sensitive material, that over the course of about a week or two, blacked out the disk rendering its contents un-viewable.
I bring this up because it highlights two issues.
One, DVDs aren't a physically resilient technology.
Disks are fragile, and even moderate scratches or damage can render a disk unreadable. This is a point of contention retro gamers have had for years, because while their NES cartridges still work, their PS1 disks don't.
This is not even to mention how the plastic of every broken disk still exists somewhere in the world, and will for centuries.
Two, it shows that IP conglomerates, have been at this for years, and won't be stopped in putting Access control into DVDs.
This means that buying DVDs of new shows forever is not an end-game solution. Unless you are content to stop consuming new media, eventually you're going to encounter a DRM protected disk.
To use another more recent example, remember when the Xbox One came out? They had this giant controversy over how playing a game locally on the disk still required online access to Microsoft's servers.
Your physical media could be locked right up for any reason by the platform itself. How can we trust that if DVDs or Blu Ray made a comeback that they would not suffer the same fate?
So where do we go from here, if physical media isn't safe?
Let's consider what digital video *is*. It's a file, same as any other. .mp4 .mov
Some, like .mp4 support DRM-encryption (although don't always contain any). Others, like .ogv exist free from DRM, thanks open source software developers.
Likewise, with a DRM encrypted digital file, because all of the data is hosted locally, just encrypted, there are ways to remove or bypass that encryption, because the VAST majority of cyber-security depends on a lack of knowledge.
This website has a number of very good resources both on drm-free digital storage mediums, and the process of removing certain types of DRM from digital files, (and was my primary resource for this paragraph)
https://www.defectivebydesign.org/so_youve_got_some_questions_do_you#:~:text=To%20avoid%20DRM%20and%20other,webm)%2C%20or%20Daala.
Storing your media as unlocked files presents the best of both worlds.
You have full control over access to your media, you own those files just as much as you own the hard drive you store them on.
You can buy media online, so long as the distributor gives you a media file instead of a streaming portal. You can also choose to obtain media files through other means, that's none of my business.
And you can do some really cool stuff like setting up a self-hosted media server, allowing you streaming-like remote access to all of your media, without ceding any ownership over that media. (Jellyfin is the most popular open-source solution but there are others) https://jellyfin.org/
And absolutely none of this is to mention the ways in which you can SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY, WHO MOST LIKELY HAS STREAMING OPTIONS.
In the US most public libraries maintain Kanopy and hoopla memberships, allowing you to access streamed content from your local library.
This has the added benefit of keeping the library's usage statistics up, which often helps them with securing more funding.
While you don't own the media, you also don't have to pay for it, and you crucially don't have to give your money to streaming services and IP hoarders.
It requires 0 technical background, and presents a more sustainable and equitable view of what streaming can look like.
So in conclusion:
Make sure you own the content you're paying for, and accept nothing less.
Don't be convinced that your DVDs are immune.
Learn some basics about networking, filetypes, cyber security and self-hosting if you really care about this stuff.
Support Open Source Software
Support Your Local Library

Mastering Web Development: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners
In the vast landscape of technology, web development stands as a crucial cornerstone. It encompasses the art and science of building websites, ranging from simple static pages to complex web applications. Whether you're aiming to pursue a career in software development or seeking to enhance your digital presence, understanding web development is essential.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll take you through the fundamental concepts and practical skills needed to master web development from scratch. Let's dive in!
1. Understanding HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
HTML serves as the backbone of every web page, providing the structure and content. It uses tags to define different elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, and links. By mastering HTML, you'll be able to create well-structured and semantically meaningful web documents.
2. Exploring CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
CSS is the language used to style HTML elements, enhancing their appearance and layout. With CSS, you can customize colors, fonts, spacing, and more, giving your website a polished and professional look. Understanding CSS selectors and properties is essential for effective styling.
3. Introduction to JavaScript
JavaScript is a versatile programming language that adds interactivity and dynamic behavior to web pages. From simple animations to complex web applications, JavaScript powers a wide range of functionalities. Learning JavaScript fundamentals such as variables, functions, and events is crucial for web development.
4. Building Responsive Websites
In today's mobile-centric world, it's essential to create websites that adapt seamlessly to various screen sizes and devices. Responsive web design achieves this by using fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries. Mastering responsive design principles ensures that your websites look great on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
5. Introduction to Version Control with Git
Git is a powerful tool for tracking changes in your codebase and collaborating with other developers. By learning Git basics such as branching, merging, and committing, you can streamline your development workflow and effectively manage project versions.

7. Introduction to Back-End Development
While front-end development focuses on the user interface, back-end development deals with server-side logic and database management. Learning back-end languages such as Node.js, Python, or PHP enables you to build dynamic web applications and handle user interactions efficiently.
8. Deploying Your Website
Once you've developed your website, it's time to make it accessible to the world. Deploying a website involves selecting a web hosting provider, uploading your files, and configuring domain settings. Understanding the deployment process ensures that your website goes live smoothly.
9. Conclusion and Next Steps
Congratulations on completing this comprehensive guide to mastering web development! By now, you've gained a solid understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, version control, frameworks, and deployment.

Top Tips to Build a Secure Website Backup Plans
Tumblr media
Why Website Backup Is Crucial
Website backup is a critical aspect of website management, offering protection against various threats and ensuring smooth operations. Here's an in-depth look at why website backup is essential:
1. Protection Against Data Loss: During website development, frequent changes are made, including code modifications and content updates. Without proper backup, accidental deletions or code errors can lead to irrecoverable data loss.
2. Safeguarding Against Cyber Attacks: Malicious cyber attacks, including ransomware, pose a significant threat to websites. Regular backups provide a safety net, allowing businesses to restore their websites to a pre-attack state quickly.
3. Mitigating Risks of Hardware and Software Failures: Hardware failures or software glitches can occur unexpectedly, potentially resulting in data corruption or loss. Website backup ensures that data can be restored swiftly in such scenarios.
4. Facilitating Smoother Updates and Overhauls: Website updates and overhauls are inevitable for staying current and meeting evolving requirements. Having backups in place streamlines these processes by providing a fallback option in case of unforeseen issues.
Understanding Website Backup
What is Website Backup? Website backup involves creating duplicate copies of website data, including media, code, themes, and other elements, and storing them securely to prevent loss or damage.
Components of Website Backup:
Website Files: Includes all website data such as code files, media, plugins, and themes.
Databases: Backup of databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL, if utilized.
Email Sending: Backup of email forwarders and filters associated with the website.
Tips for Secure Website Backup Planning
1. Choose the Right Backup Frequency: Frequency depends on website traffic, update frequency, and content sensitivity.
2. Opt for Third-Party Backup Solutions: Consider factors like storage capacity, automation, security features, and user-friendliness.
3. Utilize Backup Plugins for WordPress: Plugins like UpdraftPlus, VaultPress, and others offer secure and automated backup solutions.
4. Maintain Offsite Backups: Store backups in remote data centers or cloud services for added security.
5. Test Your Backups: Regular testing ensures backup integrity and readiness for restoration.
6. Supplement Hosting Backup Services: While hosting providers offer backups, explore additional backup solutions for enhanced security and control.
7. Consider Manual Backups: Manual backups provide flexibility and control, especially for specific needs or scenarios.
8. Encrypt Backup Data: Encrypting backup files adds an extra layer of security, preventing unauthorized access.
9. Monitor Backup Processes: Regular monitoring helps identify issues promptly and ensures backup availability.
10. Implement Disaster Recovery Plans: Prepare for unforeseen events with comprehensive disaster recovery strategies.
Secure Website Backup Service with Servepoet
For comprehensive website backup solutions, consider CodeGuard Backup service, offering automated daily backups, robust encryption, and user-friendly management features.
Conclusion
Building a secure website backup plan is vital for protecting against data loss, cyber threats, and operational disruptions. By following best practices and leveraging reliable backup solutions, businesses can safeguard their websites and ensure continuity of operations.

Avoid Ads: The Best YouTube to MP3 Converters
YouTube has emerged as the preferred platform in the digital age for finding and enjoying podcasts, videos, music, and much more. Sometimes, nevertheless, users might prefer to listen to their favourite songs solely in audio format or offline. The idea of YouTube MP3 and YouTube to MP3 converters enters the picture here.
What is YouTube MP3?
"YouTube MP3" describes the process of turning YouTube videos into MP3 audio files. This helps users save bandwidth and battery life by enabling them to extract the audio from any YouTube video and listen to it offline without streaming.
Why Convert YouTube Videos to MP3?
There are many reasons why people look for YouTube to MP3 solutions:
Offline Listening: MP3 files can be downloaded and played offline, making it convenient for users to listen to their favorite content without an internet connection.

Podcasts and Audiobooks: YouTube hosts a wide variety of podcasts and audiobooks that can be easily converted to MP3 for a seamless listening experience.

How Does a YouTube to MP3 Converter Work?
A YouTube to MP3 converter is a tool or software designed to extract audio from YouTube videos and convert it into the widely used MP3 format. These converters are available both as online services and downloadable software.
Online Converters: There are many websites that allow users to input the URL of a YouTube video, convert it to MP3, and then download the resulting audio file.

How to Start a Podcast (and Make Money) The Ultimate Guide to Starting a Podcast on the Side in 2024 - Ryan Robinson
Part 1 l Part 2 l Part 3 l Part 4 l Part 5 l Part 6 l Part 7 l Part 8 l Part 9 l Part 10 l Part 11 l Part 12 l Part 13 l Part 14 l Part 15 l Part 16 l Part 17 l Part 18 l Part 19 l Part 20 l Part 21
The twenty-second article Sydney gave me is by a blogger.
1. Choose a topic
Passion and the ability to talk about it not only extensively but long term is key here.
You should also pick a niche within that topic, to better focus your podcast. A more focused podcast makes it easier to promote.
Also keep in mind what you can bring to the table- what can you do differently than other podcasts with the same topic/in the same niche?
Keep in mind your audience. This links to your topic and niche. Who do you want to listen to your podcast?
What is your overall goal for the podcast? Are you creating this for fun with friends, or to educate, or to entertain?
2. Naming
The name of a podcast does some heavy lifting. Try to get it right, or at least close to it, for your podcast in the beginning. You can always change it later, but don't go for a placeholder name.
Make sure the name isn't taken.
Keep the name relatively short so it isn't cut off in the directory.
Don't keyword stuff- it could lead to it being marked as spam.
3. Equipment
Computer
Microphone: condenser vs dynamic and USB vs XLR are listed here
Boom arm/stand to keep the microphone still
Shock mount to avoid noise if you bump the stand/boom arm
Pop filter to avoid harsh sounds like 'p's and 'b's.
USB cord, even if you chose an XLR microphone
Mixer, if you chose an XLR microphone
4. Software
A way to record and edit your podcast is essential. Some options with links are mentioned, so you should head over and take a look so that the blogger can get the credit for the click throughs.
5. Copyright and trademarking
This is legal stuff, and while neither I or the blogger are lawyers, you should probably at least think about that.
6. Format
Interview
Solo
Host and panel
Co-host
Scripted non fiction (journalism)
Scripted fiction (AKA an audio drama)
They each have examples listed below the format, so you can go check them out and see what you like and don't like.
7. Record your first episode
This article recommends not worrying about your no-doubt high expectations, using an outline, and making sure everything you need is within easy reach.
8. Edit
This is a variable process that will differ show to show, so it's best to just try it out and experiment.
9. Schedule
The article recommends recording and editing a few episodes to keep ahead. This way, when you do pick a schedule, you have a bit of a buffer.
10. Hosting site
The article mentions quite a few, so you can choose which one is best for you and your show.
11. Artwork and description
This article puts artwork very nicely: "Their first impression won’t be what they hear: it’ll be what they see." Meaning, the art will be the first thing the potential listener will judge, before they even consider listening.
The description is similar- the potential listener will read that before listening, to see if it sounds like something they'll enjoy. So make it informative and still intriguing. This is the place for keywords, but keep them natural in sentences.
12. Get listeners
The first thing to do is make sure the content is something people will listen to- think about why people should listen, and what they want to hear.
You can also be a guest on podcasts within your topic and niche. Make sure your audience would mesh with theirs, and ask nicely! It doesn't hurt to ask- the worst thing they can say is 'no.'
Trailer swap/shoutout trades- this is simpler than being a guest. If you're nervous about being a guest, offer to send them a short trailer about your show and you'll play their show's short trailer. Or ask if they'd be willing to mention your podcast by name as long as you do the same.
Social media- share episodes, sneak peeks, you name it. Use your existing social media if you want, but also grab handles specifically for your show.
13. Monetize
If you're planning to run this long-term, it's a good idea to get some money back doing it. It makes it more worth your while. Sponsorships, ads, affiliating yourself, and consulting are listed in this article.
As an aside from me, if you've read the previous recaps I've done, you also know that selling merchandise and subscriptions are also options.
