Ah, write only code ;) I was an enjoyer pre python.
5·7 days agoPerhaps BeautifulSoup for scraping data to fill your arrays…
1·8 days agoGood point, but if I’m going to the bother of transcoding remuxes to AV1, I’ll probably knock up a script, at least for the first while.
I’m resigned to probably giving up youtube (at least for a while, as the ad cat and mouse continues) in the not too distant future. Little of value will be lost… and going back to seeing ads is not worth the price.
So far fine in FreeTube, touch wood.
Cheers.
I’ve had MeGusta at top weight for quite a while (years I think), should probably try ELiTE, wonder what the bitrate diff is…
Interesting, do you have an automated workflow for this?
I was just colloquially referring to away from Earth as North.
Mffh cool, and annoying in this case, but generally good. Might just stick with it and use another instance as needed. Thank you kindly for letting me know.
Srsly, no-one going with the “it’s free real estate” meme.
Jokingly, but also really, seems a waste. I get they don’t want the overhead, but just boost it north, perhaps to a Lagrange, maybe just high orbit, but someone will come along to salvage eventually…
ETA: Also, one of the beauties of SpaceX is that Musk doesn’t muck with it (yet), working too well without him, unlike everything else he’s bollocksed up.
So, when I open an image in a new tab I get
Type: WEBP (document.contentType=image/webp)
Dimensions: 557px × 900px
Seems like it was a jpg, but now it’s webp (and yes I’ve tried to convince firefox to not like webp, seems to be ignored.
Is there a switch the admin can pull to stop this? They’re pretty nice, but I’d like to make it easy on them.
Hmm, shall look into it.

Isaac Asimov used to say that the real sound of scientific progress wasn’t “Eureka!”, but rather, “Hmm. That’s funny.”
To a large degree, the point of RAID is to not care about drive reliability, trust the process. Also, you seem to conflate RAID with backup (“RAID is not a backup”), you want both. In a NAS, you’re probably better off with RAID5 + backup.
In a system that can take a drive failure, the current datahoarder zeitgeist is Manufacturer Recertified (Enterprise) Drives, see ServerPartDeals.com if you’re a yank, other countries have their own options.
13·19 days agoNope, As long as you’re not as uncreative as to use Correct Horse Battery Staple.
41·20 days agoI’d suggest you move toward a backup approach (“RAID is not a backup”) first. Assuming you have 2x10Tb, get a 3rd and copy half of your files to it, disconnect it, and now half your files are protected. Save, get another, copy the other half, now all your files are protected. If you’re trying to do RAID on USB, don’t, you are already done, otherwise (using SATA or better) you can proceed to build your array in an orderly fashion.
The *arr suite, e.g. rando hard drive TV show, add show to sonarr, import (yes it’s usually that easy), movies - radarr, seeking out stuff you’re watching now - prowlarr. Quite mature and way easier than hunting through streaming services.
I’m inclined to lay cause for the decline on AI (not so much AI scientists IMO, but it’s illuminating to see how badly they’re perceived), people are rightfully distrustful of hallucinating LLMs, and often have personal experience of how easy it is to get one to spit out a plausible sounding argument for whatever you want. I suspect you’d find a similar or greater decline for media and journalism, for the same reasons, at least, so I hope, although echo chambers probably mitigate the effect.
The ability to tell ChatGPT to ‘Write me an article scientifically proving X’, e.g. vaccines are harmful, the sky is red, the earth is flat, and have it diligently come up with some reasonable sounding codswallop is genuinely scary. Add to that the ongoing removal of critical thinking from the educational landscape, and you’ve got vast swathes of the population who know deep down that something is wrong with a lot of what they hear, but can’t put their finger on exactly what. Seems like a recipe for anxiety.
