- Comment on FFmpeg 8 can subtitle your videos on the fly with Whisper 1 day ago:
Well that’s pretty cool. Also given that it’s ffmpeg, I assume they did it in an agnostic way where you can toss any model at it.

Looks like it’s time to switch.

Interesting. Wonder why they forked gitea
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 2 weeks ago:
“Today, AI is the voice in the drive-thru that can’t hear our orders. It’s killing the livelihood of creative workers. It’s the thing you have to do at work, whether you like it or not. It’s making search engines unusable. It’s a justification for corporate layoffs. It’s plagiarism. It’s killing information access. It’s taking credit for the work of visual effects artists. It’s a serial liar. It’s harming our critical thinking and memory skills. It’s mecha-Hitler. It’s the really annoying popup. It’s wealth inequality. It’s a crutch for the loneliness epidemic. It’s the industrial polluter. It’s the scammer faking your voice for predatory phone calls. It’s the military-industrial complex. It’s the book that could kill you. It’s exploiting social media algorithms with fake content.”
- Comment on GrapheneOS Under Threat: EU Age Verification And Google Changes Endanger Privacy-Focused Android 2 weeks ago:
If they depend exclusively on the Google safety net attestation service this is true. GrapheneOS supports even stronger attestation though, they just have to choose to implement it properly: grapheneos.org/…/attestation-compatibility-guide
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 4 weeks ago:
I like the article, but agree with so many of the comments here as well.
Ultimately I think one thing I’d love for would be a way to simply provide services (like Immich) for people but where the client is end to end encrypted, and neither the user nor the service has to worry about the how.
Example: how can I share an Immich with my family and friends, but where I don’t have access to any of their data. I.e. what signal does, but immich or any other service. I want to share my server with friends/family, but I don’t want access to any of their data. It isn’t a lack of trust, it’s that I don’t want that as even something they have to worry about
That same concept then extends here to community hosting. If we can solve the problem for a few, it should be scalable to many.
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for the detailed reply! Yeah I realize now Mestastic.Org has everything I need.
Planning to prolly get:
A rak wireless kit for a local repeater on my roof powered via PoE, and then a ttgo techo for my personal device.
I know that I should just get the latter and play with it first, but I live high on a hill with a great vantage point of the city so feels like a disservice to the community if I don’t also host a repeater.
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 4 weeks ago:
How do I do this? Shats the easiest way to get started?
Both a personal device and a repeater on my house

Just provide a way to self host searx instance and then provide nightly backups of the DB so you don’t have to run the crawler
- Comment on Google Messages testing RCS’ new MLS encryption, Details page redesign 1 month ago:
Now if only Google would open up RCS to non Google messages apps. It’s just another walled garden.
- Comment on Paying the Subnautica 2 team their promised bonus would be "embarrassing", Krafton's CEO allegedly told the game's chief over lunch 1 month ago:
Frankly, the buyers truing to get them to take a smaller buyout before firing makes it clear they’re doing what they can to avoid paying it. At the same time, the way the incentive was setup both parties were of course going to try to win here. No one who has 250m is going to part with it without a fight. And vice-versa.
Hindsight is 2020, but the reward structure should have never been setup based an arbitrary deadline but instead on a total level of success
- Comment on Pilot groups reject claims of human error in Air India crash 1 month ago:
My point wasn’t that the switch was or wasn’t flipped, but that, do we know there isn’t a bug or electrical failure that caused the computer to think it was flipped when it wasn’t.
Idk it seems very unlikely given how carefully designed aircrafts are, but so many things are less “control by wire” though airlanes due seem to retain that safety still, but Boeing’s recent decade with the new max planes def leaves me with some doubts of their quality and design decisions.
- Comment on Pilot groups reject claims of human error in Air India crash 1 month ago:
Well, we’re told it can’t happen by accident. I agree that it probably can’t, but I also don’t know how all the wiring and programming is made.

Agreed. Maybe you can pick the default messaging app.
- Comment on Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data 2 months ago:
I mean, they’re still doing the exact same shit, just a little more transparent about it: Treat your customers differently based on if they’re new or not. Basically these plans just make it more obvious to customers. If you don’t cancel your plan yearly and resubscribe as a new subscriber, you have to pay an extra $180 a year. Simple as that. And you still have to do that every 5 years.
Honestly it’s insane. Esp the I still have to cancel after 5 years to keep not getting fucked.

- Comment on Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS 2 months ago:
No no, I know that it’s not kernel level, I just fail to see how, someone with complete control of the memory, can’t defeat all anticheat. To be fair, if it isn’t a client authoritative game, it could.

I held off on buying this. Does it feel good / worth buying now?
- Comment on Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS 2 months ago:
So… You can cheat then.
Valve really needs to offer some sort of hardware attestation so the steamdeck can actually offer anticheat. As long as people can compile their own kernels any game has already lost from the start

How is it not actually an allow list vs a deny list. They should be clearing apps that can be installed and not the other way around.
