  • There are several handheld recorders that you can buy. I’d advice something like the Tascam dr-05x or Zoom h2n (both under 200 euros). But for wind protection you’ll need a wind jammer. Not a standard wind foam thing, like the ones that come with the machine, but a proper one. Rycote is a good brand for this, they have one for most recorders. So for instance if you buy a dr-05x, you can buy a dr-05x compatible wind jammer from Rycote. I’d advice not to try and save money on this.

    Good luck!





  • I think the way Mastodon is handling new users is pretty problematic. Not only did this lead to huge amounts of spam on the network because Eugen’s instance couldn’t handle the amount of new users, but also this goes against the very idea of federation.

    Unpopular opinion: if finding an instance is too hard for you, maybe the federated internet just isn’t for you. I see people on reddit still complaining about how difficult Mastodon is, and I’m sorry but if that’s too complicated for you, just stay on reddit. Considering the level of discourse of both sites, I think it’s a feature, not a bug.
