ok this is manageable. The FreeBSD port only provides a single service and that's not very useful in this scenario. It really should offer separate service files for master, filer, and volume roles.
I am now running a master with -volume=false so I can run a separate volume service where I can pass -max=0 so there is no max number of volumes and they're created on demand, and now things are working well.
It's ugly as hell but as long as it's fast and works that's fine with me because the "weed shell" for managing things is pretty nice and the s3 configuration is easy.

@Deinos It's not a service - podcasts can publish transcripts for their episodes. If they do, AntennaPod utilizes them. Technical details: podcasting2.org/docs/guides/ho…
Happy birthday @haveibeenpwned! 12 years ago today, I pushed out a blog post launching a little data breach search tool, and life changed forever. Reading the post again now, did I get it right? 😎 troyhunt.com/introducing-have-…
I often write up analyses of the passwords disclosed in website breaches. For

I know #Tidal isn't perfect (and buying physical media or band merch is better, but hey, that is situational, I will only buy an album after I already like it), but this sort of thing makes me feel vindicated in choosing not to use #Spotify.
“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period.
One thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.
One of my AI use cases is "tip of the tongue" searches, things like "find me a movie where the dog dies, shortly followed by...." or "find me that comment from Hackernews on a story about Google buying some fitness startup that linked to books about x"
Das Besondere an Berlin war einst, dass die Stadt von einer freiheitlichen Grundhaltung durchdrungen war. Das ist mit diesem historischen Tag heute vorbei. Die schwarz-rote Landesregierung hat ein Polizeigesetz verabschiedet, das heftigste Überwachungsbefugnisse mit sich bringt: Verhaltensscanner, Gesichtersuche, Palantir-artige Datenanalyse und Staatstrojaner, beispielsweise. Ich habe dieser Ungeheuerlichkeit einen Kommentar gewidmet. netzpolitik.org/2025/neues-pol…
Heute wurde in Berlin eine Novelle des Polizeigesetzes verabschiedet. Sie erlaubt so ziemlich alles, was an digitaler Überwachung möglich ist: Verhaltensscanner, Gesichtersuche, Palantir-artige Datenanalysen, Staatstrojaner. Ein Kommentar.

Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)
We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.
Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.
Week of Dec 21: Progress: $350/$340
(Thank you again, folks, for helping out a couple of weeks ago with the bills we had to pay.)
Venmo is a digital wallet that lets you make and share payments with friends. You can easily split the bill, cab fare, or much more. Download the iOS or Android app or sign up on Venmo.com today.
I could really use a reboost of this, please. We are pretty tight today, only ~$25 left and attempting to figure out dinner. Please consider unboosting/reboosting so it pops up in people's timelines. Thank you all for helping us out!
@stefano your blog post on SeaweedFS should come with a huge warning that some operations take FOREVER (I just spent 10 minutes wondering why I couldn't list/create s3 buckets -- kept getting RPC errors, restarted service, looked at logs, rinse and repeat)
and if you copy the toml.sample config files to .toml, it breaks things. You can't just use those config files as-is.
I needed patience. It needs to run for a minute or two before you can do anything which is kind of surprising/annoying
No one chooses to be so depressed they can’t get out of bed. No one chooses to be so anxious they have panic attacks every single day. No one chooses a mental illness that makes life harder.
Mental illness isn’t weakness. It isn’t laziness. It isn’t attention-seeking.
It’s invisible pain. It’s emotional exhaustion. It’s fighting battles no one else can see.
Sometimes it’s smiling when you’re breaking inside. Sometimes it’s pretending to be okay because you don’t want to be a burden. Sometimes it’s waking up each morning and choosing to keep going—even when it hurts.
So if someone’s struggling, don’t ask why they’re like this. Ask how you can stand beside them.
💜 Let’s make space for the battles we can’t see. Let’s remind each other that healing takes time—and that it’s okay to not be okay.
Právě naopak. Ty o tom něco víš, na rozdíl od jedinců, kteří říkají “drogy jsou špatné, áno" (a nalévají se přitom alkoholem). Chtěl bych tyhle lidi vidět, jak v nemocnici odmítnou narkózu před operací.
Hello people of Mastodon. I have an audio file that goes for 2 hours that I need transcribed. I don't have the capacity to sit and listen and take in all that i need to from the file. Can anyone recommend a good program that will do this for me? I would pay someone to do it for me but have bills and stuff.
Riverside is your online studio for high-quality podcast and video recording and editing. Powered by AI, built for human conversations. Get started for free.
@techsinger Can also just do the transcription with Whisper or one of the other local transcription models available. There are some apps for desktop and iOS as well that might be able to help.
Oh undoubtedly, and indeed that is preferable. The problem is that, without an M series mac, with at least 2 or 3 being helpful, or a GPU, it will take quite a long time to transcribe. I transcribed 18 hours on an I5 third series, but left them over night to do it.
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
TLDR; Anyone looking for affordable #science #tutoring let me know.
👩🔬 <- My aunt is a wonderful human being. She is qualified as a #science teacher and over the last year has undergone quite an upheaval in life, relocating to a totally new area in the process. She’s now looking to get back to work via personal tutoring from the new year onwards.
She’s not in it for the money, preferring to help those less advantaged. If you know anyone in secondary education in the UK who wants/needs extra tuition let me know and I’ll put you in touch.
Ideally she’ll get some work local to her in the #Malvern area (#Worcestershire) that she can do in person, but she can also do a few slots per week remote tutoring via Jitsi or similar.
EU’s Top Court Just Made It Literally Impossible To Run A User-Generated Content Platform Legally - techdirt.com/2025/12/04/eus-to… #cjeu has screwed up big time with this one... #gdpr

If you have a law which is impossible to comply with, and are allowed to selectively enforce that law, you can (within limits) force anyone to implement any policy of your own choosing, with 0 public oversight.
The EU probably couldn't pass a law requiring Meta to remove opinions critical of EU politicians. It would generate too much (justified) social outrage and anger human rights / free speech activists. What they can do is to have an entirely unrelated law, which Meta must break to operate. They can then secretly use the treat of enforcing that law to make Meta implement the policies they want, voluntarily and of their own free will.
I'm not saying this is the specific company / policy combination this will be used for, but it's probably going to be something of that nature.
It's a mess, and it's not the first time the EU is doing this.
The GDPR is ripe with such abuses. Basically nobody (including European companies) fully complies with it, and the EU chooses who they don't like and who they wish to prosecute.
