We also need Jack Horkheimer the Star Hustler, but unfortunately I think he died. I can still remember the Star Hustler theme music, (Debussey), just before the station would sign off the air for the night.@CommonSparrow @CiaraNi I share the nostalgia for the guy who taught my high school pals and I to chant, “Alnilan, Alnitak, and Min-taka!”

A Fediverse bot that posts a GIF at 10 minutes to midnight of your server administrator saying "Time now, everybody - last toots at the bar." At 5 minutes to midnight, Eugen flashes the lights. At midnight, Mastodon plays your national anthem. You stand. You finish singing the last line with a little cheer and go to bed. Your home timeline transmits the Test Card. The Fediverse will resume transmission at 0600 hours. Even the reply guys will come back well-rested.
@CiaraNi I am "I remember the BBC kinda doing this" years old.

@CiaraNi To take the analogy further, us here over on the west coast are looking around and saying "but it's mid-evening".
"Well-rested."
"But-"
"WELL. RESTED."

@CiaraNi
Someone could probably build this as a custom front end or something? -
@CiaraNi
Just use the "countries" from back in #FediVision? Each anthem can be one of the entries.
@afewbugs @timtfj -
@timtfj @martinkubler @afewbugs Yes, poetic too
@CiaraNi
Could have some actual poetry read out just before the anthem as a less-localised replacement? Maybe some of @brianbilston 's work or something?

@CiaraNi
Yeah, but what time zone? -

@CiaraNi We had a station here that played this “gem” right before the test screen.

@psneeze I saw this literally as the clock hit 5 minutes to midnight so I better take it literally. I just need my server administrator to put up the test card and then I'll be off to the leaba.
@CiaraNi LOL!

@Devils_Rancher @CiaraNi Back in the day, KLRU would play The Star Spangled Banner, but the verses that usually get left out.

@CiaraNi with all the talk about closing access to Facebook and Instagram at night we could actually be super compliant by just shutting down the servers at midnight. "Look Mrs. Von Der Leyen, our social network already protects it's user's right to sleep."
Probably not what you meant, but I'm not a well-rested reply guy today
