So question for those in AV, live events, etc. out there (hoping for input/thoughts <3)
How on earth do you break into the industry when you've only had a few contracts ever plus a degree in the field?
"Who I know" hasn't been able to help me so far and when I've signed up as an ad hoc contractor kind of thing, no jobs ever came to my phone until they took me off their list >.>
I do this stuff on a volunteer basis but like...it'd be nice to get more experience and actually know how to get started after 5 years of banging my head against the wall. Particularly interested in live or studio audio stuff, but trained in the video side of things, lighting and enough logistics experience for the bump in/out stuff too
So yeah, how does one get started in this industry? Should I independently get any extra tickets/qualifications/etc.? And any other tags I could consider adding on to find the right place to ask? :3

I'm finally ready to release this AV project to the public. Which concludes 6 years of on/off work.
‘The hope is that, as Newman puts it, “you could have a DeepSeek moment” and the UK’s “extraordinary intellectual ability” in the #AV field will make up for it lacking the financial strength of China and the US. But while Jackson says the country can create an AV “super unicorn”, it needs a new road to get there.’

The sensitivity index: Corrupting Y2K
by @beet_keeper
In December I asked “What will you bitflip today?” Not long after, Johan’s (@bitsgalore) Digtial Dark Age Crew released its long lost hidden single Y2K — well, I couldn’t resist corrupting it.
Fixity is an interesting property enabled by digital technologies. Checksums allow us to demonstrate mathematically that a file has not been changed. An often cited definition of fixity is:
Fixity, in the preservation sense, means the assurance that a digital file has remained unchanged, i.e. fixed — Bailey (2014)
It’s very much linked to the concept of integrity. A UNESCO definition of which:
The state of being whole, uncorrupted and free of unauthorized and undocumented changes.
Integrity is massively important at this time in history. It gives us the guarantees we need that digital objects we work with aren’t harboring their own sinister secrets in the form of malware and other potentially damaging payloads.
These values are contingent on bit-level preservation, the field of digital preservation largely assumes this; that we will be able to look after our content without losing information. As feasible as this may be these days, what happens if we lose some information? Where does authenticity come into play?
Through corrupting Y2K, I took time to reflect on integrity versus authenticity, as well as create some interesting glitched outputs. I also uncovered what may be the first audio that reveals what the Millennium Bug itself may have sounded like! Keen to hear it? Read on to find out more.
Hey #AV archivists! Anyone collecting video from the web with yt-dlp would accept to share their policy/config?
The #Diggola - an early #DJ console made by Ron Diggins of #Lincolnshire , #England shortly after World War II. It played 78 rpm shellac #gramophone records using two spring wound #turntable motors, a #valve (tube) #amplifier and had its own built in light controller (switching lights directly at 230V mains voltage connected to round pin sockets) #audio #AV #SoundEngineering

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint exclusions
In this comprehensive guide I explain all available Defender for Endpoint exclusions, how they interact and which ones to use and which to avoid.
If you haven't already check it out, now is a great time.

Just a quick #introduction for those who might be interested... I'm an #av / Live event technical director who's been doing #lighting, #video and #sound since I was 15.
I'm generally in my element plugging something in, wiring up a control system or making devices talk.
