I don’t really use any of the AI stuff, as I just want it to post on a schedule for me. It’s mostly just an optional thing to help you write the posts themselves, but it’s super easy to ignore.

But, to be honest with you, I’ve had terrible luck with it and we are about to move back to Hootsuite. It was incredible difficult to set up, we have constant bugs with it, and the devs are super hostile and unwilling to help in the discord. It seems like they really want you to pay for their hosted version which would probably be fine, but for basically the same price Hootsuite was a more mature and fully featured platform. Plus, they actually have support.

I disagree with the other person, rsync + ssh is faster even in my own benchmarks. But samba is plenty fast enough these days, I can easily have it max out my gigabit network so I don’t need anything faster. So for me (and I would guess the majority of people) speed really isn’t a concern anymore, so I use samba because it’s easy to use and it makes sharing network folders to anything else a breeze.

It’s like phones. Yeah technically the newest iPhone is faster than this years budget Samsung. But when’s the last time your phone was actually a bottleneck? (Unless you’re one of those people who play games, in which case, actually please respond cause I could use some really nice idle city builders for my phone pls)

Haha unfortunately the music on YouTube is not especially well managed. Ive been using YouTube for music for a long time so a lot of my music is uploaded by Vevo or “{Artist} - Topic” and stuff like that. Plus (IIRC) YouTube music doesn’t give things like what album a song is from or when it was released

They also have a bunch of integrations already built in! I use Cloudflare so all you gotta do is throw an API key into the config file and it does the rest. Which is nice cause DNS records can take some time to propagate

Yeah I am using yt-dlp to download the music, and I can set that on a cronjob no problem.

I am specifically asking for better downloading (I don’t want just the raw YouTube title most of the time), album art, and ID3 tagging. But that beets.io thing looks super cool! I might integrate that into my existing python scripting instead of trying to build it all out myself

Just use this. It’s by far the best option

You can literally just download all of Wikipedia in one go from one URL. They would rather people just do that instead of crawling their entire website because that puts a huge load on their servers.

That’s the thing though, websites have gone away from “fingerprinting scripts” and have started finger printing you by what you serve, how and when you access it, and other things that they can all collect purely on the server side. The rest is just for advertising and data collection for improvements.

Yeah it makes me laugh when people talk about “don’t use cookies” or “block ads” like companies didn’t switch to more advanced techniques (like hell, I saw a paper where they could fingerprint you just simply by how you interact with the webpage) 15 years ago.

There is no way to use the modern web without getting fingerprinted.

Xfinity in the states is like that too. Technically I don’t have a static but it’s only changed twice in 4 years or so.

Once was during a really really bad storm which took power down in my state for days so I don’t blame them, and the other one was when they did work on my local node but they sent out an email and a letter before hand lol

Fun fact, you can build your own car too!

do you have a source for this

Literally any analytics module will do this. Basically every major website you go to will do something similar.

There are two reasons people complain about Nvidia drivers on Linux. The first is because they are proprietary, which doesn’t matter for anyone except turbo nerds.

But Nvidia drivers used to be pretty bad on Linux. But I genuinely don’t think I’ve had a driver crash since I installed my 2070 back in like 2019. I’ve upgraded to a 3080ti and I still haven’t had any issues. I have a 4k/120hz HDR monitor and don’t have any issues with that either.

And a lot of people are actually stuck because the Windows XP/7 machine is attached to industrial equipment that costs an unbelievable amount of money or is just impossible to replace.

Windows 8 removed the start button, 8.1 brought back most all of the “legacy” UI features (which still persist today).

As iconic as that line is, it’s always confused me. It was super obvious to me that he was dead/dying in that scene

Big facts

Motorbikes are considered cool cause they’re fun as fuck to ride

I (straight male) think a woman smoking a cigarette is really really hot. Like it turns me feral when I see it.

I have to constantly remind myself that is just marketing from cigarette companies haha

The resolution thing is actually almost solved IMO. I used my Quest 3 in AR mode almost every single day and the screens are perfectly fine for reading text or having a video on in the background.

Yeah there’s still some screen door effect but it’s really only noticeable when I look for it, it disappears in normal use.

And I genuinely can’t think of a reason you would need 1000hz displays. Human eyes start to get steady motion at like 50-60 and 90-150 is when the normal eye starts to hit the limit.
