Oh boy, seems I missed something again. What’s wrong with PIA? I’ve been using them forever.

I have tried to solve this many times as I want to regularly back up my Google content - mostly the images for the same purpose you mention.

Unfortunately there is no good solution I’ve ever come up with or found. I even looked into scripting with something like puppeteer. It requires regular confirmation of your authentication and I just haven’t found a good way to solve that since there’s no API access. It also won’t let you use any cli tools like wget. You could probably figure out how to pull some token or cookie to give to the cli but you’d have to do it so often that its more of a pain than just manually downloading.

My solution currently is to run a firefox browser in a container on my server to download them. It acts as sort of a session manager (like tmux or zellij for command line) so that if the PC I’m using goes to sleep or something, the downloads continue. Then I just check in occasionally through the day. Plus I wanted them on the server anyway, at the end of the day. Downloading them there directly saves me having to then transfer to the server.

Switching to .tgz will let you make up to 50GB files which at least means fewer iterations and longer time between interactions (so I can actually do something useful in the meantime).

I sincerely hope someone proves me wrong and has a way to do this but I’ve searched a lot. I know other people want to solve it but I’ve never seen anyone with a solution.

I would like to switch to another app, preferably FOSS, but I haven’t found another decent one that has the filters feature from PocketCasts. This is the feature that lets you apply a preset filter to the total list of episodes. I use it to auto-build a queue of just certain podcasts, instead of all of my subscriptions.

Any chance someone has seen that feature elsewhere?

Game is fun but short and it gets grindy towards the end - which really shouldn’t be surprising given the premise, I guess. I had fun with it and wish it was longer. If it had a bit more driving the trading, that would be cool.

They don’t refer to it as Lyme because it’s a different issue. It just happens to also be spread by ticks. Lyme disease and Alpha-gal Syndrome are different things but are sometimes comorbities since both are commonly spread by ticks.

I use Lidarr. I know its primary purpose is downloading but if you just never configure those parts, it can do all the renaming, folder organization, and metadata tagging. It uses MusicBrainz primarily, iirc. You can also configure scripts to run it through beets or other tools too.

There’s no perfect solution for this because music metadata is a lot more complicated than movies or tv. But Lidarr gets pretty close to set-and-forget.

I’ve also tried MusicBrainz Picard with pretty decent results but I found it sort of suffered from the problems you described for your current system.

So what are the security ramifications of this? I’ve always subscribed to the idea that SSH keys identify a machine and I generate new ones for every machine. That allows me to turn off a machine without losing the access from other machines.

All that said, it would be really handy to make SSH keys more like a person identifier and use the same one across machines. Is this how it’s intended?

This guy really has it out for this podcast. This reads to me like Guy Raz personally pissed him off. It’s been a few years since I listened to How I Built This but most of the ones I listened to were about the early days of the company when it really is kind of the leader doing long hours and chasing a dream. I think we can recognize that and also recognize what the companies became later.

Many of the ones I listened to would mention that it was a lot of luck - though there were exceptions and those CEOs didn’t come across well. It also talked pretty openly about companies that got stolen - Dippin’ Dots and Burt’s Bees come to mind.

Maybe the vibe has shifted since I stopped listening but this feels unnecessarily harsh. Personally, I don’t think this would be the right venue for pressing them on hard issues like unions and regulations - maybe as a retrospective at the end of the interview at most. I think we can recognize the hard work and long hours that go into starting these companies without also accepting their suspect business practices as they get larger (which can have a lot of complicated drivers). Attack the companies and CEOs, not a podcast host who is just trying to make an easy and interesting podcast.

TIL, thank you much!

Wouldn’t put it past them as the Retroarch lead devs have done shit like that before.

Do you have examples? I usually stay out of dev drama as well but I just started using Retroarch and I’m curious. I also don’t want to support people that abuse the community, so I’d like to be informed.

I don’t think the article included it and it’s a little difficult to find the phrasing.

I found a sample ballot

https://www.boe.ohio.gov/clark/c/upload/ELEC_BallotProofs.pdf

The phrasing there is

To create an appointed redistricting commission not elected by or subject to removal by the voters of the state

However a vote of “Yes” would establish a non-partisan (or, IMO more accurately, a mixed partisan) committee of 15 (5R, 5D, 5 other) where a majority of the committee must approve the redistricting.

The extended description starts with this

1. Repeal constitutional protections against gerrymandering approved by nearly three-quarters of Ohio electors participating in the statewide elections of 2015 and 2018, and eliminate the longstanding ability of Ohio citizens to hold their representatives accountable for establishing fair state legislative and congressional districts.

Technically all of this is correct but I can absolutely see how it’s misleading voters.

Full disclosure, I’m not a lawyer or political scientist and I do not live in Ohio.

There’s a lot of comments talking about used and refurbs. I personally use these types to get good deals but I also have a reasonably robust backup protocol. Not a full 321 backup but an appropriate level of risk for my needs.

My point being, if you go that route, they’re cheaper but the odds that one dies on you might be higher. Make sure you manage your backup strategy to a risk value you’re comfortable with.

That said, I’ve also had great experiences with serverpartdeals. I’ve also used diskprices.com to find deals.

Things to consider are noise, temps, power-on time, etc. For myself, temps are fairly consistent in my case and it’s in a closet so I don’t care about noise. I also don’t need particularly fast access on the HDDs (I use an nvme cache strategy as well) so I can pretty much use whatever. Your needs might differ.

Immich will be funded by an optional purchase in the near future. Since I can’t find anything else, my best guess is some portion of that goes to FUTO. But it is just a guess. I also couldn’t find any specifics on FUTO’s funding.

I’ve never heard of FUTO before and it sounds a little too good to be true. It looks like they have made some grants to other big projects. I like what they’re saying to the point that it seems too good to be true.

Does anyone know if this is a legit organization and if it has staying power?

Either way getting further progress on Immich, hopefully moving towards real stability, is very exciting!

Nice very solid answer. I didn’t understand it was a replacement OS. Do you have a browser?

I’d love an e-reader with a browser. Nothing fancy, just something for looking up lore or related topics while reading.

So the obvious question, how does this compare to KOReader? That’s had a long, stable life and, at first glance, seems to have the same goals. I didn’t see any kind of acknowledgement or comparison in the wiki.
