Always and forever!

😆

Somewhat. I’m guessing this would be proper full OCR, perhaps even selectable. Still scanning.

I don’t see an ability to rotate in the web app. It’s been available for a long time in the mobile app though.

Oh it’s not a problem on ongoing basis. Just the initial scan is gonna take forever here. 150K photos…

The OCR job is running rather slow though. It does about 3 photos per second with 8 jobs concurrency on a Ryzen 7900.

Agreed. I stand corrected. Fuck those clicks.

Too many screens and clicks. Where’s my single-click browser install? Linux will never become mainstream on the desktop.

This reminds me of something that came up recently. Copilot started hallicinating quite a bit more than usual in Copilot reviews. That made me think about the cost of operarion. As they burn money like this, I won’t be surprised if they start decreasing inference quality to decrease cost per user. Which also means people relying on certain model behaviour for tasks could get nasty surprises. Especially within automation workflows where model outputs aren’t being reviewed.

If it’s a switch to a robotic AI society, where’s the profit gonna come from? The stock prices reflect expected future profits. If we have more work done by robots and AI, that work isn’t done by people, so people aren’t getting paid for it. Who’s gonna pay for this product to materialize these expected profits?

We’re so fucked.

The other RTO shoe drops. In that RTO was about iducing attrition. It appears it wasn’t enough.

Goddamn I’ve been looking (not too hard) for a “not so terrible” yt-dlp UI and not finding one for a while! This is exactly whay I needed. I recently setup Pinchflat and was thinking about shoehorning downloading from random sources in it. This should solve it.

I’ll def buy some of these for a camping batt as the B-grade cells get thrown on Ali.

Ouch.

Holy fuck, the avg price for LFP was around $60/kWh last year and this is starting at a third of that.

If power consumption isn’t a huge deal, then an Intel-based Mini PC. This will allow you to do transcoding for streaming as well as any other more CPU-intensive task. It also gives you stellar USB 5Gb support which can be used for quite a large storage pool. I’m running a 5x 16TB ZFS pool on an Intel-based Lenovo mini PC. It’s in a multi-bay USB box. Unfortunately AMD’s pre-Zen 5 USB controllers aren’t reliable for this use case which is why I recommend Intel. Pre-Zen 5 AMD-based mini PCs might be OK with one disk per USB port, but as soon as you peg a USB port to its limit, you start running into USB resets.

Well there’s definitely socialist dynamics in FOSS development. Most drivers in the Linux kernel were implemented because someone needed them, not for profit. The same is true for most things in the Debian repository. Also people generally own the means of producing that software. How do proprietary systems produced to maximize profit compete with software written to just work and cost nothing? FOSS is doing software product dumping! :D And the rest of the software economy has grown tremendously as a result. Imagine having to pay good money for a compiler. There were huge barriers back in the day.

Luckily I have auto snapshots on the Jellyfin data dir so restoring it to 10.10.7 was pretty trivial.

Friendly reminder to use snapshotting filesystems for your app data. E.g. ZFS, Btrfs. Then most fuckups can be unfucked with a single zfs rollback.

It’s the FOSS alternative of Plex. If you run Plex or were curious about running Plex, setup Jellyfin. Then setup the arr-stack.
