I’m mostly a “wikipedia reader” type of person, so I don’t have good pop sci sources to recommend… Sorry!

Nice! Thank you so much!

For me to be a better friend by better understanding his new limitations…

He already has a good support network, they organised a fundraiser to get him an electric wheelchair, which is awesome! But at first I didn’t understand why it was helping him, because I don’t know enough about the condition. 🫣

I have a friend who’s now living with ME. Any resources for the general public to better understand the condition?

Yup! The fact that it is defined as “illegal” allows goons to storm your house and court troll to harrass you.

Thus everything they say is true, in some way…

PPN! (pp network?)

Although I never took the time to check myself, I heard multiple reports about how streaming music has crappy dynamic range, and that the same song on CD or ripped vinyl always has much better range.

It would be my main reason to use the scenes…

Asus Zenfone are nice as well

127.0.0.1

I don’t know about unbound so I can’t really compare… OpenNic is not run by for-profit corporations, which I think is a good thing.

Opennic should be the default DNS of everybody!

I would love to self host a real debrid service where i can control what i pre-download using the “my library” feature, something similar to the *arr suite but only using the stremio interface.

Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book. With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there’s even more copying going on. It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.

My colleague built an ultrasound walking stick for his wife, but can’t even give units to the local sight-impaired community organization due to regulations… He’s given up on getting his design certified.

From my early torrent days, we used to say that any torrent we dont seed back to at rast 1:1 is bad for the network (leeching). I can see why there is a desire to block StremIO clients, but if it was modified to see back to some ratio, it would be nicer.

As for debrid, it’s a bit too “centralised” for me still… I’ve read that it’s a major weak point in the system and that servers are often unavailable. That’s why i like the resilience of torrents. (Plus the sharing aspect. Sharing is caring!)

Ok… I like the interface of StremIO, which looks like a service aggregator (ie I can open the movie on a streaming service i have access to), but I don’t like the fact that I can’t pre-download and seed less popular files. It supports debrid services, but from the technical description, thesec seems to be leech-equivalent to seedboxes…

What would be a good drop -in replacement? Something that works on google TVs and is easy to maintain?

They could try to compensate the imbalance by explicitly asking for the lesser represented classes in the data… It’s an idea, not quite bad but not quite good either because of the problems you mentioned.

There’s also xlwings. The free tier does just that: run python code in Excel, and no cloud is required!

My previous boss would be the Arborist, and would complain if i tried to close them…

I’d get the 2 FU since my GitHub is not that important.

Quite so
