YouTube Sync on Rumble
Rumble is a Canadian based alternatives to YouTube without it’s California-Leftist bias. As a creator of firearms enthusiast content, I’ve repeatedly had content ad-restricted (essentially demonetized) because some clueless staffer at YouTube misidentified some normal accessory classified as an illegal modification. I’ve had a rifle match video be tagged as unsafe activity and a flashlight tagged as weapon.
I’m not alone. Many well known Conservative and Liberal YouTubers channels have been soft-banned and been demonetized. This is why many of us have moved or mirrored our content elsewhere to other platforms like Rumble.
But moving content to Rumble required manually uploading each video one at a time. Then, copy/pasting descriptions and information. It was tedious.
Thankfully, Rumble recently (and quietly) released an automated sync feature. After logging into your YouTube account within Rumble’s sync interface, it automatically copies all of your vidoes in your YouTube channel to your Rumble channel.
Sokani Tiny Wireless Mic Fail
I bought this Sokani UHF Wireless Lavalier transmitter set after reading a number of positive reviews presenting it as a cheaper alternative to the similar Rode Wireless Go. I am experiencing intermittent and random sound glitches. I’m sharing my experiences in hopes to find out if other owners have experienced similar issues.
I contacted Amazon and they send me another unit and it too has the same sound drop-off glitch. With two identical units, I proceeded to rule out the cables and mic as the causes through a process of elimination. But in the end, I believe that BOTH units sent are defective. Asll the more reason to stay away from this brand.

ATTEMPTS TO TROUBLESHOOT
• I fully charged both units before using them.
• I used the default Gain that was set on the units the first time I used them.
• The transmitter and the receiver were never more than 4m away from each-other while recording.
• I used the lav mics included in the set and also tried another brand of lav mic.
• I tested the lav mics directly connected to my camera but did not experience any drop out.
• I tried yelling directly into the mics but the sound did not cut off so the drop-out is not Peak triggered.
Blood Orange Skies in San Francisco
This morning we woke up to a blood orange sky due to the wildfires around the Bay Area, north in Sonoma County, south in the Santa Cruz mountains, and far east the huge Creek Fire complex. Or maybe Elon Musk secretly transported his Mars colony here.
