I’ve also used it in a hacky script pipeline to bulk download podcast episodes with yt-dlp, create searchable transcripts, and scrub ads by having an LLM sniff out timestamps to cut with ffmpeg.

This is genius. Could you appify this and I’ll pay you in real or pretend currency as you prefer

I’ve found it great for DMing TTRPGs — simply record your session with a conference mic, run a transcript with WhisperX, and pass the output to a long-context LLM for easy session summaries. It’s a great way to avoid slowing down the game by taking notes on minor events and NPCs.

Okay that’s just crazy. ;)

I don’t know that Google gets to log your access in that scenario, Plex is just using their login system.

All of my less tech literate friends are getting a warning to abandon their computers entirely.

So you don’t do a lot of tech support. Nice.

Hilarious and pathetic.

iirc it’s the reason Signal didn’t have gifs was the data leakage from them

Yeah, but also would be interested in how you put it together.

It happens with anyone. Bots track expirations and snatch them so that they can ransom them back to you for thousands - exactly as in OPs example.

AUTO RENEW. Auto-renew. Auto-renew is the way. The solution to this problem is Auto-renew.

I think he’s going to drive it into the ground by hook or by crook. I think he’s deliberately sabotaging it for . . . ? Reasons?

Either that or he’s really, really bad at running companies.

Is it any wonder these businesses are SO successful

In challenges of “I know you are, but what am I?”, AI outperformed humans by a factor of eleventy jillion.

If microsoft made 22 billion of profit in three months, that’s 88 billion a year, so they donated 0.001% to rust.

But hey, a million bucks is a million bucks.

No shit

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

For the battery issue there appears to be a good source & various answers at this stackexchange thread.

Most registrars offer whois privacy protection which is a randomized forwarder, so if someone emails the contact it can get to you but none of your information is shown. Usually about $2 a year, don’t forget to auto-renew it.

Namecheap usually adds it for free for the initial registration period.

Calibre does all the management and conversion/reading/other but you have to do the initial work of cataloging them.

Afaik it won’t download covers. Maybe it does now, idk.
