I'm sure someone's posted this already, but i really enjoyed the first 3 episodes of this. Not sure where it's going, but intrigued to find out what's going on.
- sounds goodneverscared
- Yeah. This is a good one. Also have no idea where it’s going. “Hopper’s” dancing and concert rapping got serious giggles from mehardhat

Side Hustle
Yo.. I've been slowly working a side hustle. Ain't ground breaking but I'm building a photobooth.
Using a Raspberry Pi to drive it all and vintage lens stock to get an authentic image. Some of the best pictures I own are from booths and since they seem to be a rarity around my parts, figured I'd build one for fun.
It's all lo cost / tech but the crunch is a good dye sub printer for outputting. Even refurb / Ebay models are £££. I wondered about heritage stuff like dot matrix or even thermal printers but obvs the image quality would be crap..
Anyone got any thoughts on alternatives or do I just suck it up and splash the cash?
- Start a kebab place?********
- Curious on the camera build. My understanding is that most of the automats were Nikon 35 glass, but some of the weirder ones you find are C-mounts.garbage
- You're going to have to shit the bed on printing. Thermal printers have their peak, and that peak is shipping labels.garbage
- Yeah I’m using a Pentax c mount lens. I’m no expert but interesting to see the resultsBeardy
- Nice choice, looking forward to updatesgarbage
- I've a couple of clients who have been doing his for years, so I'm guessing it's a good biz to be in. Why do you need such an expensive printer?Nairn
- Even the 'portrait photographer' in our local shopping mall just uses some Epson inkjet.
Or did you mean inkjet instead of Dot Matrix? :)Nairn - I love the din from my Citizen Swift 240d dot matrix back in the early 90s, but I doubt your clientele would so much ZKKRRRRRRK ZKKRRRRRRK ZKKRRRRRRKNairn
- There is a photo booth shop in my hood that has a queue around the corner every weekendtoemaas
- what about a poster booth and do one of those drawing machines instead of a printercannonball1978
- This is all learning as I go and tbh, using Claude for basic programming of the Pi has been a lifesaver! I guess I don't need such a spenny printer but..Beardy
- ..the idea is to leave it alone, working autonomously. So i figure the reliability and quality of a dye sub wins out, right?Beardy
- ^ and glossy paper.garbage
- Ah, ok, my clients have booths they take to events and make a big show of it. They don't leave them in-situ. Tech leaving it sounds.. hard. I get it now.Nairn

- @Stewart what's it like creating a font?
Painful process? Do you make any money?Projectile - @projectile: I love the process and drawing. The tech part like spacing and kerning is a showstopper. I'm still make fonts to find the chicken with golden eggs.stewart

- Had a hunstman run up the outside of my windcreen one time... tehn disappeared in a crevice of the car somewhere!sab
- even i think i would geek out a little bitAQUTE
- I was always told to keep huntsmen around to see off the rest of the insects. Probably just shit they tell poms like drop bears :PMrT
- massivley less mosquitos/flies if you have one of these bad boys in your apartment for the season._me_
- Me: what about the huntsman then? Lolsab
- We get them all the time, just relocate them to our wood pile, they are chill.slappy
- Absolutely chill invasive species. My parents had a few that patrolled their house, dealt with the paper wasps.garbage

- Do you ever think they tell this story so much that details of the events get embellished the more it's told? Just curioushydro74
- Well, his story remains exactly the same as he originally told since 89, every detail is same every time he talks about it, Joe Rogan etcprophetone
- And some stuff he claimed in 89 for which he was ostracized, mocked has since been confirmed or backed up by gov peepsprophetone
- The 3D renders in this vid are sus because pretty try hard but seem like aligned with exactly how he has been describing things from beginning?prophetone
- Anyway who knows lolprophetone
- Do you tell the same story when you got your cherry popped exactly the same after 40 years?********
- If it's not on the radar and collaborated by science...********
- still a virgin couldn’t tell yaprophetone
- Like that first goat right?********
- My thought is they told this story (for shows, mini docs, etc) so many times where I feel like aspects get embellished for dramatic effect. maybe?hydro74
- hydro yeah everything he says and how he has presented himself for 35 years is one thing, this doc is some flashy stuff thoprophetone
- Something about this guy screams that he’s just doing it for attention and that it’s just wild imagination. It doesn’t seem honest. He seems like he’s tryingmonospaced
- to hard to seem genuine, but he’s just not that good of an actor. Lots of people lap it up because it passes as pseudo intellectual.monospaced
- He's a character for sure. Kind of a prankster. This is probably a hoax he created, and now he's in way too deep to come clean. It's great entertainment IMO :)jagara
- I geek out about him sometimes. 3 hour Rogan interviews. I even watch his lengthy explanations about the ships propulsion system and whatnot :Djagara
- Can't wait for this, it looks great.jagara
