  • Not really cool to post commands like that without consideration for privileges for newcomers, make sure to use sudo first. /s

    this one https://github.com/sandreas/tone "tone is a cross platform audio tagger and metadata editor to dump and modify metadata for a wide variety of formats, including mp3, m4b, flac"

    regarding RSS feed I just download them regularly, e.g on crontab one can add 0 3 * * * cd ~/Music && ~/bin/yt-dlp -x https://hearditherefirst.blog/category/dubstep/feed/ but if you need something a bit more refine with filtering consider e.g. jc --xml withjq and `wget.

  • It's actually a very popular and accessible place which this photography captures really well.

    The left side if wild, probably nobody even goes there. Right side is perfectly curated with a convenient path which you can most likely reach with a lift opened from dawn to dusk.

    The valley has a great infrastructure. A lot of spots are even wheelchair accessible.

    Yet, you can start from such spots and hike until there is literally nobody else around, even during high season.

    Warmly recommended.

  • If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7

    Jump

  • Warning : I think AI in the current hype form, so commercial GenAI and LLM, is absolutely bullshit. The result is just bad and resources required is absolutely ridiculous, and maybe worst than those two combined (which is already enough to want to reject en masse) it is structured in order to create dependencies on very few actors.

    Yet... (you saw that coming!) it's not because 99.99% is bad that suddenly the average consumer leverages the less than .01% left properly.

    What they (OpenAI, Claude, M$, NVIDIA, Google, Meta, etc) are looking for is a product/market fit. They do have a product (arguable) and a market (millions if not billions of users of their different other products) with even a minuscule fraction of people trying to use their new AI-based tool... and yet nobody actually knows what the "killer app" truly is.

    They are investing everything they don't spend on actual R&D or infrastructure in finding out ... what it's actually for. They have no clue.

  • hmm breakfast

    Jump

  • French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian... it's not really specific. It's also not for everyone. I'd say it's mostly for 20sth in rush and 50sth working men. Everybody else either skip it entirely or have a proper breakfast, but that's just my experience, might not generalize.

  • Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever

    Jump

  • Check my post history I repeat this so often I'm getting tired of it, sorry, but basically 2080ti since it's out, been gaming nearly daily on it, from AAA to indie, from "flat" to VR and... it just works. I just followed https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers and that's it, no tinkering.

  • You're so predictable

    Jump

  • This kind of posts typically hint at how manipulable we all are... and it's true, but what they omit is the cost.

    Readying a random meme and getting "pwned" by it typically gets you a good laugh. Sharing your bank details over the phone does not. So... what this kind of stuff does rather show how rational most of us are, namely we don't mind getting played if we have fun doing it.

  • Me getting 480p videos for my video projector : "Oh... no really?" ¯(ツ)/¯

    PS: FWIW I do have a Vision Pro (for work, I didn't pay for it personally) so I technically could enjoy high res content... but honestly I can't bother using this to watch videos. I'm fine with just my desktop screen or video projector. I just don't get the high res.

  • But there were SO MANY dealbreakers before we even got to that point

  • It's because every time until the NEXT one they were hindered into the process by the "bad" others. So you see, it's once again time to remove others who are preventing success.

  • Trump humiliated by fact-check after claiming Canada used AI for 'cheat' Reagan ad

    Jump

  • Hmmm I'm not sure. I'm not a psychologist yet while reading 2020's "Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump" I feel like he feel just enough humiliation in his childhood to NEVER want to have that feeling again. He would "win" (huge quotes here because the definition of winning remains entirely up to him) no matter what, in golf, politics, business.

    So... he might not feel humiliation anymore but if so I bet it comes from possibly having felt a bit too much of it early on.

  • Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?

  • Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?

    Jump

  • I mean... detecting (some) VPNs is as trivial as

    fetch('https://github.com/NazgulCoder/IPLists/raw/refs/heads/main/output/vpn-ipv4.txt').then( res => res.text() ).then( res => console.log( res.includes( "1.2.3.4" ) ) )

    thanks to https://github.com/NazgulCoder/IPLists/

    FWIW though I did try, connected via a random VPN from ProtonVPN from Argentina... and it wasn't in that list. So it's not perfect. Also ProtonVPN has apparently today 13K servers according to https://protonvpn.com/vpn-servers

    That being said I can imagine that Google, which is literally built on crawling the Web, has all the infrastructure and expertise needed to have such lists and up to date ones.

    I'm not justifying blocking VPN here, only trying to clarify that unless you self-host in a rather specific setup (i.e. not relying a popular cloud provider but truly self hosting) it's technically not hard to block VPNs.

  • Honestly I'd say it doesn't matter much. What matters is that your data are safe and you can afford a bit of time at first when things are a bit different than what you are used to.

    If you have a LOT of time or are very eager to learn, take something strange or not very popular. If you are in rush then start with a distribution that is popular, ideally that a friend, colleague or acquaintance also uses. Think of it as a team exercise.

    I personally use Debian but others might prefer Ubuntu or Mint to start with.

    But... yes, can be anything, just BACKUP your (and by that I mean data you have produced, e.g. documents, photos, saved games, etc) data then you should feel free to try!

  • Attaching less weight to the ego is the best thing that can happen to boost learning :D

    It hurts confidence initially, especially as you land on your ass, but only until you learn something new and empowering, then get excited again! It's one of the most enjoyable rollercoaster IMHO.

  • My mindset totally changed few years ago when I started being honest with myself and with others.

    It's true, I'm in that meme... I don't know much about Windows anymore. Initially I admit I was ashamed about it because I imagined that I'd be judged for it.

    What I did though, instead of trying to be better... was to be honest about it :

    • yes, it's true, I don't know Windows or MacOS as well I know Linux... but there is a reason WHY. Explain why, namely the consequence for my freedom, and theirs, totally changed the discussion.

    One day I even told my friendly neighbors : "Look I could fix your Windows computer but... I'm a professional, and I don't know Windows so much. So I would have to look solutions up and that will take time while going against my principle, so I would have to charge you for it, and it's not cheap. Instead, if you switch to Linux I'll help you, and for free." Guess what, they not only tried but they didn't even need my help! They even, back then so few years ago, install WiFi driver via the command line on their own.

    So... yes, be in that picture, sure, just don't be ashamed about it if you believe it's for good reason. Do not be afraid of explaining others too and who knows, they might not only understand but even want to tag alone on this constant adventure for collective empowerment!
