Recall when Google was going to put requirements on bulk email senders to minimize spam?
https://blog.google/products/gmail/gmail-security-authentication-spam-protection/

I now have 2-3x the spam I had before on my gmail account.

What hapt?

Also, if some #security expert could help me understand...

If I am getting 100 or even 1000 spam emails a day... why not 1 million? Seriously.

The number staying at a roughly steady daily rate seems to imply only a few spammers are behind it and throttling their attack. So why then can't they be found and dealt with?

If it were unfettered I feel like I'd be seeing an unlimited amount of spam.

@lauren
do you know specifically what went wrong with this most recent (and seemingly draconian) move? I am genuinely curious

Here is a musical

I found this track among dozens of tracks I made from the early 90s. It doesn't have a name so I can't find the DAW work file easily. This was digitized off a four-track. I used hardware synths but I don't recall which ones. (Is there a way to find out the synth model from sysex dump?)

The question is should I try to recover these lost tracks I made and clean up and record them digitally and release them?

👆 nobody has heard this before except me and I don't remember it one bit

It probably used Roland Alpha Juno and a SoundCnavas

But it might have used two other synths I no longer have

Other tracks are synthwave but I'm not sure you can call it that because I think that's a retro term and these were made in the moment early '90s

I used to do stuff under the name Soma Holiday... Some other band took that name though and did something with it

👆 Oooo. Maybe what I do is... Release it as a Lime Bar retro album called Soma Holiday.

I like this.

@MusicProduction question. Supposing I can't find the files or don't have the necessary synth h/w to get a new clean digital recording... What's the best approach to cleanup the existing files digitized from 4-track cassette. You can hear tape hiss, definitely some muddy bass freqs, and other tape effects.

What processing would you apply. I've never done a rescue.

@stevenray @fstateaudio @MusicProduction @elsemusic

ReaFir worked pretty well once I figured out the method... which btw is here:

https://www.homebrewaudio.com/9603/reafir-madness-hidden-noise-reduction-tool-in-reaper/

Two interesting things (for me anyway)

1- not only is there tape noise but bleed thru of some kind from... previous recording? other tracks? I dunno. so noise reduction can't possibly do it's job 100% because the hiss is conflated with this variable other stuff

2- see reply

I miss the Twitter from before. It was so deliciously bad for you, like cigarettes and hairspray and liquid cheese and all the best things. Now it’s like consuming PFAS.

They made the clothing from the wild Roebuck which would graze on the roofs of the store. At dusk you could hear them calling out across the parking lot, longing for the fields of home. Sad.

Sometimes the way people phrase things is so telling. For instance, telling women they should be "taking care of" their husband and children. Another adult doesn't need taken care of like a child, what you want is for women to be a Sex Mom.

@RickiTarr

I always thought "take care of" as in the mob.

That's how it is over here at my house anyway.

So has a "sonic adventure" feature that lets you put in two or more songs then it fills in a playlist which selects tracks of sonically similar values leading from song to song until you reach the target using tracks from your collection.

Here is a playlist it generated going from Phoenix by The Tear Garden to Lisztomania by Phoenix.

I would not have created this playlist on my own.

Also it is fun to see artists pop up in playlists based on sonic thumbprint.

    Castle In The Sky

    Back in theaters tomorrow 20th (subtitles) and on the 22nd (dubbed)

    Make sure you get to a theatre!

    Castle In The Sky was so awesome in theater. Try to catch it if you can.

    Before the movie they are showing a short ad for the theme park in Japan. I've noticed that it is slightly different each time, tailored to focus a little on the attractions related to the you are about to see. Attention to detail!

    I've finally managed to get through the whole playlist (72 songs, pant pant...). I was quite impressed with the quality, since I was expecting something more amateur-ish on average (like my crummy contribution).

    Eventually, I took some notes and came up with a list of 11 tracks in particular that I liked more than the others, and so candidates for my three votes this week (I won't vote for myself).

    So, without further ado... 🧵

    I love your entry! Checking out your other stuff on your Faircamp site: https://music.lminiero.it/

    Turns out, not only do I love reading the liner notes at https://fedivision.party as I listen to the tracks... I also love to read other people's threads & takes on the entries as I listen to those tracks.

    I think this means I'm going to be spending lots of time online the next few days reading and listening. 😂

    This was a fun read! Thanks!
