I’m find Paul Wesley strangely unlikable. He looks kinda weird. His movements are odd. Nothing is wrong with him, he just makes me uncomfortable. Would you please share what you like about him? I’d like to get over this weird feeling.
@fluffypaws anything by margaret storey, if you can find them- hey @neilhimself could you use your influence to get them reprinted? that would be lovely
I've seen a fair amount of anecdotal theories that #autistic sensory sensitivities get worse with age; however I'm curious as to whether that may be caused by many older autistic people experiencing #AutisticBurnout which also makes sensory stuff worse...
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.
@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.

@akkartik Please do not spam the !technology Lemmy community with content that makes no sense to us. For reference, this is what your post looks like to us:
Cantus: A Database for Latin Ecclesiastical Chant - Inventories of Chant Sources | Cantus Manuscript Database https://cantus.uwaterloo.ca/
"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."
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?
@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
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?
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 …
