Yo no necesito que el fediverso sea enorme. No me importa si llega a ese punto, entiendo que es el objetivo y serΓ‘ mejor que un Bluesky o lo que hay ahora mismo, pero yo no lo necesito ni tengo prisa porque ocurra.
Yo uso la tecnologΓa que me parece mΓ‘s sana a nivel Γ©tico y estoy con un grupo de personas que me gusta mucho. Ya estΓ‘, no necesito mΓ‘s.
Iba a poner un mensaje del palo "no gastΓ©is vuestras energΓas en analizar redes centralizadas" pero entiendo que es un tema interesante y podemos hacer muchas cosas a la vez. Pero yo en lo particular no lo harΓ©. Quien quiera interactuar conmigo en redes sociales ya sabe dΓ³nde estoy, lo digo siempre que tengo opciΓ³n aunque predique en el desierto.
I was already getting read timeouts (with a five-seconed timeout) when using FediFetcher on a local Procrastodon user account.
@quanin I think you were running on 8 GB. How's that working out for you? Did you do anything to optimise that?

#Conversations_im 2.17.0 has support for emoji reactions π
Since @Codeberg appears to be under constant DDoS attacks they have added pretty strict rate limits that the @fdroidorg build server keeps running into. π
Another build cycle just failed and it's unclear when 2.17.0 will be available on F-Droid.
Maybe Codeberg and F-Droid can back channel an allow list or something? π

From ejabberd 23.10 this is available with a module called mod_muc_occupantid

It's time for BEE FACTS
For every donation to this link, I will post one (1) fact about bees!
These little green bees are sweat bees. They're called that because they love salt & might come get some from you if you're sweaty.
They're solitary, sting but not very hard, and most of them nest in bare patches of dirt next to plants.
Plant flowers & leave some bare spots!
Honeybees are famous for working hard, but if you watch a hive, most of them spend a lot of time just chillin out on the honeycomb.
So when people tell you you gotta "be a good worker bee".... now you know the secret to their work ethic. Secure housing, affordable food, & naps.

The article discusses the importance of operating systems adapting to modern hardware advancements for better performance and efficiency. It emphasizes the need for OS research and development to keep pace with hardware evolution. The speaker highlights the potential benefits of rethinking the OS-hardware relationship.

The article discusses how QUIC, a protocol designed for fast internet connections, faces performance challenges under certain conditions. Through experimental data, the authors conclude that QUIC is not optimal over fast networks and suggest potential improvements to enhance its speed and efficiency.

QUIC is not Quick Enough over Fast Internet
QUIC is expected to be a game-changer in improving web application performance. In this paper, we conduct a systematic examination of QUIC's performance over high-speed networks.arXiv.org

Fantastic wide-ranging discussion about websites and browsers for a generalist to be aware of. You don't need to know how to do everything, but you DO need a huge contextual awareness across the stack to solve hard problems. Even a hint. 13min

I emphasize how important even knowledge of a thing being a thing helps. And it will seem utterly useless in the moment. It matters later, you will be completely surprised random tech stuff you did 20 years earlier randomly comes up as important. Try things, even Linux.

Now, if your video is scripted, as mine often are, I have a much simpler solution:
1. In YouTube Studio, after uploading the video, I upload the script inside the "subtitles" tab.
2. I wait like an hour before publishing the video
That's it. I don't think creators have much excuse anymore for poor captions. Other than you just don't want as many folks to enjoy your work.
Another thing about proper captions is that it's often framed as "helping deaf/hard of hearing folks", and that's accurate and valid, but there's more.
For me as an English speaker, it helps my viewers for whom English isn't their first language, as they can read along.
It also helps folks who watch your videos with the sound off/low... such as folks in public, folks in quiet spaces, folks in bed, folks with young kids...

Mahasen Al Khateeb, a Palestinian #digital #illustrator, used to draw children stories and teach Procreate. She skilfully painted the suffering of her people in north Gaza using her stylus. It was her only outlet from a year of pain, horror and genocide.
Today the US-backed zionist regime killed her. Rest in peace Mahasen π

This is just throwing random numbers on his hunches. He does this _all of the time_ and doesn't generally disclose (or even necessarily know to disclose) which pieces are his "hunches."
He mixes things that he puts into a model and fails to mention any validation beyond topline as well

I suppose the whole process, and my own mind, is still contaminated because I initially used an LLM. I can think of the following things that remain from my usage of Claude:
- The use of FFV1 as a lossless video codec. Presumably I would have found that in the FFmpeg documentation if I had really looked.
- The pixel format conversion to yuv420p to fix compatibility problems. Claude gave me that one for the MP4 version, and then I also applied it to WebM.
- The use of 256 Kbps for AAC.
