I’ve had nzbgeek for years.

Vinyl records, analog tube amplifiers, a good pair of speakers 🤌

Honestly though digital compression now is so good it probably sounds the same.

That’s a good point. The model weights could be voltage levels instead of digital representations. Lots of audio tech uses analog for better fidelity.I also read that there’s a startup using particle beams for lithography. Exciting times.

Who’s got 1 thumb and is bad at taming alligators?

Totally agree, but at this point Microsoft is so ingrained in the US federal government that it’s practically a branch of it.

I see the leopards got a new face to eat.

I think you’ve got a point. My initial thought was that because this platform is decentralized and there’s no Elon or Zuck at the helm, this isn’t applicable. But as you pointed out, the vast majority of users don’t interact or post anything, so that naturally amplifies the users who do, particularly if they have an agenda to push.

There are redundant systems on modern planes that can handle multiple failures. If they’re saying it’s fuel related my guess is dirty jet fuel. It would explain a stuck fuel valve. There’s lots of ground crew checks before flight, and one is checking the fuel tanks for contamination. Just a speculation.

This is the cheat code. Just stroke the man’s ego, and you can get anything you want.

I didn’t realize how temporary and disposable Starlink’s satellites were. They incinerate 4 or 5 a day by de-orbiting them into the ozone. Here’s a pretty good CNET article that talks about how they “dispose” of them. IDK, doesn’t seem sustainable. They also mention the bandwidth gains are being diminished with the influx of new users, so their solution is more temporary satellites.

They’re just following in the footsteps of Comcast. The FCC gave SpaceX/Starlink $885.5 million to provide rural broadband after they gave Comcast over $1 billion less than 5 years ago to do the same thing. Starlink actually works out there from what I understand, so I guess that’s something.

I hope they both choke on their own bots.

Dude Navidrome is so great. I hooked my my decades worth of music collection up to it and now I can stream b-side tracks and indie bands that weren’t on Spotify. Plus when I hit random I know it’s actually random and not some algo to sell the newest slop that Spotify is pushing.

“Furthermore it was said that a drone gun had triggered the panic, which is highly doubtful from a technical point of view.”

Anyone who’s seen the video can see it’s not a drone with a gun causing the panic. Although you couldn’t see it, that vehicle probably focused a high pitch sound to clear the road.

Edit: this is a different video than the original one I saw but it looks like they’re using the same technique here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CvY9sVUERV0

Not FOSS but I use Symfonium to stream music from my Navidrome instance on my NAS while I’m out of the house.

Edit, saw your last comment. What couldn’t you get working?
