From @LineageOS install instructions - success is normal, but errors are also fine:

> Normally, adb will report Total xfer: 1.00x, but in some cases, even if the process succeeds the output will stop at 47% and report adb: failed to read command: Success. In some cases it will report adb: failed to read command: No error or adb: failed to read command: Undefined error: 0 which is also fine.

@android

yeah its just you

or maybe i didnt understand it…

zak OP ,

@tubaruco It's from these installation instructions, which say "it might error, but that's fine". Usually error messages mean it's not fine, so I found it fairly amusing.

My first eReader was a Kobo, so it makes sense that my return to recreational reading starts with another Kobo.

Gotta say, the Clara 2E is really, really, really nice.

Guess I gotta start looking into... ? This the hashtag y'all are at?

@Judeet88 This thought might help you and me (https://lethallava.land/notes/9gp5hypoklkeflav; https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/105737744499263260) feel good about ourselves, but we still suffer some harm by being part of a society that grew dependent on Youtube. Might not seem fair, but there's a problem here and it impacts us.

"Cantus is a database of the Latin chants found in manuscripts and early printed books, primarily from medieval Europe. This searchable digital archive holds inventories of antiphoners and breviaries -- the main sources for the music sung in the Latin liturgical Office -- as well as graduals and other sources for music of the Mass."

@matz @medievodons @ClaireFromClare It has been my pleasure to help you out. Specifically for the ancient Italian music (dal Trecento al Settecento), you might already know this one: https://www.itmi.it/

As a new public librarian, I keep encountering books (Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh or T. Kingfisher's Minor Mage) that read like YA. They have YA characters, are written at a YA level, are targeted to YA audiences.

And yet they are not YA books. In an almost similar vein, I think I grasp that the Romance genre has clear definitions that require more than just romantic or spicy content, but the taxonomic complexities of YA literature elude me. Can someone point me to resources?

@nnschiller @bookstodon I honestly don’t know if YA is anything other than a marketing label nowadays. Aside: i loved Some Desperate Glory.

@selfhosted Have a commerical @wireguard vpn on my server. The problem i have is that if i use a docker, it does use the vpn interface with iptables, but if that goes down, the docker still goes through without the vpn interface. I have looked at iptables, but docker makes it own, and bit of a minefield. Any ideas? Thanks

MaggiWuerze ,

Something like Proton or Mullvad?

My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.

Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.

There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.

So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?

@lps @AstaMcCarthy @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology

Hmm I looked into this a year ago. But from this screenshot, it’s only talking about resolution. I’m after bit-depth and colourspaces, and yes you’re very right about avoiding transcoding.

I throw a lot of CPU/GPU at my encodes, more than other people would. And so I’d prefer it if others wouldn’t transcode it. I’m happy to live within some rules — just tell me a CBR or VBR maximum …

It doesn't look like Star Trek: the Motion Picture is on Paramount+, so I will be continuing my DISCO rewatch tonight.

@elonjet he seriously flew from Hawthorne to Long Beach?! He should've drove a Tesla through one of his tunnels.

@sydpolk@mastodon.social avatar

@elonjet You are fucking kidding me. It’s a 23 minute drive according to Apple Maps. Even with a private jet, it would take longer to fly. And you don’t have a car on one end or the other. This dude owns fucking Tesla; he couldn’t use that instead of burning 100+ gallons of jet fuel?

Hello, when I see questions like this on Tumblr, and your answers @neilhimself, I always smile. Then Sandman crosses my mind and I comment as below. But, even if you are only a dream, sir, you make this world worth to live in. ❤️🌍 I would spend hours talking with you about all that you know and want to share, not only about books. Some people, as I can see, often seems to forget you are a man, a human being like us, before to be a famous writer. PS: I love when you reply with sarcastic words. 😎😌
