What am I even doing with my life... brb, gotta get me an octopus vase...

I've started a few warriors, but it's not helping because they've activated rate limiting. I just get:

Tracker rate limiting is active. We don't want to overload the site we're archiving, so we've limited the number of downloads per minute. Retrying after 240 seconds...

So the bottleneck is that they don't want to overload Veoh.

Doesn’t that just cut one line at a time?

Move the cursor to the start of what you want to cut, press ALT+A, then move the cursor with arrow keys (you'll see text be highlighted from where the cursor was to where you move your cursor), then once you've moved the cursor to where you want, press CTRL+K to cut.

Obviously you've never heard of the Time Cube, invented by the "wisest man on Earth". ("My wisdom so antiquates known knowledge, that a psychiatrist examining my behavior, eccentric by his academic single corner knowledge, knows no course other than to judge me schizophrenic." - Gene Ray).

You can still find his (now gone) site on the Internet Archive.
His ramblings are unfortunately very racist and homophobic too.

One of his diagrams that explain everything:

Why switch from Gitea to Forgejo, if I may ask?

I just... I... I can't install a browser that's called "Floorp". I just cant. I wouldn't be able to look another person in the eyes and tell them that "I use floorp". It's probably a perfectly good fork of Firefox, but I just can't.

SG1

Stargate SG-1 is equal parts "Vancouver warehouse sci-fi" and "Vancouver rock quarry sci-fi"

Oh well, in practice I'll just continue to enjoy this (possibly forgetful and not-fully-finetunable) model then, that still gives me amazing results 😊

People have been training great Flux LoRAs for a while now, haven't they? Is a LoRA not a finetune, or have I misunderstood something?

Using the Internet Archive like this for streaming and sharing pirated movies is a dick move. They're a really valuable nonprofit organization, but they're already in hot water because of some ebook lending during covid, so this is just wasting their bandwidth and painting another target on them for the big Hollywood rightsholders.

You guys ever heard of torrents?

Nope, doesn't seem like it.

Here's an example of a text object taken from the XML, if you're curious: https://clips.clb92.xyz/2024-09-08_22-27-04_gfxTWDQt13RMnTIS.png

EDIT: And with more complicated strings (like ones havingnumbers or symbols - just regular-ass ASCII symbols, mind you) there will be tens of <stringItem>, because apparently numbers and letters don't even work the same. Even line breaks have their own <stringItem>. And if the number of these <stringItem> and their charLen don't match what's actually in pt:data, it won't open the file.

Lots or file formats are just zipped XML.

I was reverse engineering fucking around with the LBX file format for our Brother label printer's software at work, because I wanted to generate labels programmatically, and they're zipped XML too. Terrible format, LBX, really annoying to work with. The parser in Brother P-Touch Editor is really picky too. A string is 1 character longer or shorter than the length you defined in an attribute earlier in the XML? "I've never seen this file format in my life," says P-Touch Editor.

Ogg was apparently not named after Nanny Ogg, no matter how awesome that'd be.

The Xiph.org foundation themselves say that's where the name came from.

The Vorbis audio codec was also named after Vorbis from Small Gods, the 13th Discworld book.

Yeah, you could get hundreds of cheap nozzles for $70. I've bought packs of 10 nozzles for 74 cents. That's almost a thousand nozzles I could get instead of one $70 tungsten one. Or maybe "only" 800 nozzles if I factor in a pessimistic shipping cost too.

EDIT: Checked the price I paid and it was even cheaper than I remember. Edited my calculations.

I haven't actually tried the Pinecil myself. I do have the Miniware TS80 (not TS80P, so no USB PD support in mine) and these small soldering irons in general are pretty awesome.

The new logo sort of looks like a white flag. It symbolizes the fact that Mozilla has just completely given up by now.

The moz://a logo is really genius. I wonder if their current leadership is so incompetent that they don't even understand the :// part of the logo...
