/int/ - certified time wasters

I came here from Kohlchan to raid this place. This is a raid. All my buddies will join this raid any minute now. You've been warned.

On Sep 3rd Radio Ernstiwan will be half a decade old, we want to celebrate the occasion with a radio festival. Since Sep 3rd is a Tuesday, the festival will be scheduled for the following weekend Friday Sep 6th to Sunday Sep 8th. As is has become tradition, the new Ernstalbum - if completed by then - will also be presented that festival. Some streamers seem to have quit during the last months, so I'm not sure if we can fill up three full days. If we see that it's too much space, we will compress the schedule as needed. Of course you can stream at alle times, not only at designated slots. If someone actually wants to do graveyard shift, feel free!

Color coding is the same as always: Green: confirmend, Yellow: reserved, but not yet confirmed, grey: available.

Since we're able to do videostreams now, we were thinking about doing a dedicated videostream segment. With the focus of the festival being radio, a slot outside prime time seems reasonable, though that might change if interest is high. The idea is that all interested Ernsts get a timeslot inside that segment to stream whatever they want, for example three Ernsts with one hour each during a three-hour-segment. We could use a dedicated Ernst TV-mountpoint for this, so that viewers would not have to manually switch between each segment, VLC should be able to reconnect. If nobody is interested, we will scrap this in favor of normal radio streams. Still, I think that this has potential for entertainment, at least the inevitable technical clusterfuck would be hilarious.

Stream duration should be 2-3h, the focus is to provide enough slots so that everyone who wants to stream can get a slot. Please post your desired timeslots itt. The pictured commemorative coin sadly is already sold out, maybe you can acquire one on the black market (chat, Discord, Ernstagram).

In this itt thread I will post two comics by anglo writers.
First there will be "Wanted" by Mark Millar, the edgy scot probably better known for Kickass (though the films are also just rather "free" interpretations of the source material, like Wanted - although that one did indeed barely have anything to do with the comic).

After that we will read "Supergod" by writer Warren Ellis, better known for Metropolitan. Supergod is not exactly "edgy", but it's very entertaining in its own over-the-top silly way.

Please note that I will not necessarily be able to post all of it fast and quick, so prepare for an irregular posting schedule.

Let's start now with Wanted.

In a few hours the highly experimental ErnstTV-segment will start as a part of this years streaming festival. This sticky explains how this will work for spectators and streamers.

Spectators: Get VLC player, then get the ErnstTV-specific xspf file either from the radio page or EC front page integration when the ErnstTV-stream is live. You can also take it now from the attached zip, should work just as fine as soon as ErnstTV is live. Open that file with VLC - done. When the streamer changes during ErnstTV, the stream should disconnect, but reconnect when the next streamer goes live. If it doesn't, you might have to reconnect manually by restarting VLC or whatever.

Streamers: Use this URL to connect to the ErnstTV-mountpoint:

icecast://ErnstTV:ErnstTV@radio.ernstchan.top:80/ErnstTV

All other settings don't need to be changed. While someone else is already using this mountpoint, you can't test the connection, but it werks, I just tested it. after ErnstTV is over, the account will be disabled for same reasons as the public stream.

April is nearing its end, and from there it's four months until September, when traditionally it is time to present the new Ernstalbum to the world during the Radio Ernstiwan birthday festival: Time for the new Ernstalbum-thread. The cover for Ernstalbum v4 is already finished, and its title, which might take a second look at the image to spot, describes a property:

- some people would say it about Ernstchan
- some people even would say it about imageboards as a whole
- in times of AI, some people would say it about manually crafted music
- the appliance in the picture is it for sure (if you exclude German bureaucracy, where it is still used in some places)
- despite all this, we'll always be number 1

There's also a very hard to find easter egg for 200IQ-Ernsts, which will be revealed during the festival, don't worry if you can't find it, it's just memeshit anyway. Please deliver your contributions via mail to ernstiwan at protonmail ch. You can also post them in the thread, but I think Ernstalbum is best when people don't know the songs beforehand when the show airs, that's why sending per mail is recommended. About AI-generated songs: Ernstalbum is a project where Ernst can show off his creativity. It is allowed to submit AI songs, but there has to be a clearly visible creative input from Ernst. A generic 90 seconds suno.ai-song is probably not gonna make it. Depending on the contributions we might do a double album, with side 1 being AI songs, and side 2 the handcrafted stuff.

Looking forward to your contributions :3

What is Ernst reading? How is Ernst reading? Where is Ernst reading? And last but not least, when is Ernst reading?

What can he recommend?

KC int is better, even with all the brown people, pedos, and pr0n.

EC is too slow and boring :(

no thread for the Olympic Games?
