I was the guy saying you’re one of those startups just making self hosting difficult on purpose. I’m seeing you’ve made great improvements there!

Going to give it a shot again. Thanks for the hard work.

Found out Ghost 6.0 is out today and now it supports ActivityPub. It’s time to set up a new blog I’ll never write once more!

I was under the impression this is the main selling point of AirTags. Is there a real market for tracking lost luggage? I see AirTags being sold in every Kid’s store around here.

It’s Turkiye* now.

That only would launch them and probably won’t support remotes properly.

I think there is a fine line between “installing an app” and “spinning up a docker image and keeping it maintained”.

I’m in the camp that Docker images are what .exe’s used to be, but they’re not easily accessible still. So Immich doesn’t count I fear.

And what if you have other business elsewhere?

I heard there’s this Anna, keeping an archive of those horrible books.

The CBI program mostly brings in dirty money.

Türkiye invested heavily into construction industry in the last three decades, so new buildings coming pretty cheap.

Most Turkish cities doesn’t have urban planning and sprawl doesn’t stop at all. Istanbul Downtown’s two extents takes 2 hours with a car, without leaving the city.

Read a borderline boring book. I prefer holy scripture for that.

Not selfhosted - tried a lots of solutions there but each of them fell short at one point. But I’m paying for Readwise Reader for a while and it’s the swiss knife for anything you listed up there. Plus, you can enable (optional) AI summaries, including for videos.

I never had time or patience for video essays that can give once sentence idea in a minimum 8 minute video (minimum for monetization), so I just throw them at Reader, have them summarized and I’m off to go in 30 seconds.

Actually they’ve been here for a very long time.

DeBird is the oldest commercial ML/Audio product I know. It’s around since 2017.

Accentize plugins are the commercial ones.

Also there’s a Waves one.

Nvidia’s RTX Voice can do it in real time since 2020.

And lastly on the open-source end, there’s Intel’s OpenVino for Audacity.

Isn’t there a class named ‘Arithmancy’? I always assumed it’s math for wizardkind.

TBH FLAC can’t do 32bit floating point encoding, neither more than 8 channels per stream, so he’s not technically incorrect that it’s not zipping a wave file.

The first one concerns recorded source material (there are 32bit fp recorders for the last few years really helped loudest and quietest recordings) and not a single end product.

The second one limits FLAC to 7.1, so as a container it’s not suitable for theatrical purposes, neither for Dolby Atmos/DTS, nor for higher order ambisonics (used in vr).

But neither of these limits concerns end users, and if we’re talking about music, they can get fucked with whatever exorbitancy they prefer.

HTS is currently pledged to Syrian Salvation Government, which is basically the opposition government in exile (operating from Istanbul), governing NW Syria (4 mil pop) from the back seat for the last 10 years. HTS is just acting as its main (but not only) militia organization, and Jolani said HTS will oversee the Syrian state’s transition to SSG.

We’ll hear the names of Mohammed al-Bashir and Mustafa al-Mousa in the coming days.

HTS mostly consists of militants splintered off from Al Qaeda and ISIS, and waged war against them. Apparently they gave up “Salafist” terrorism to turn into a Syrian Nationalist movement instead. Jolani sounded more moderate than I was expecting, so let’s hope the new western backed puppet state brings some peace to Syrians after all.

Soma.FM

Surprised to see it’s not mentioned here. 24 years old internet radio, still kicking, over 30 channels with hand-picked playlists, almost all of them suitable for concentration. They are sponsoring Def-Con for years. Owner has a great Fediverse presence.

Channels have very interesting concepts like Spy Jazz, Ambient over NASA’s mission broadcasts, Celtic Folk, Vaporwave, 80s Synthpop and my favorite SF 10-33 Ambient over San Francisco Police Radio live feed.

Sound designer here. I always liked to tinker with digital stuff, and while I think %90 of the self hosted apps must’ve been simple .EXEs, I’m having fun setting them up around.

YunoHost is pretty much alive than ever, but don’t expect it to be up-to-date all the time since their way of doing stuff is pretty extreme to maintain.

So my advice would be, spend enough time with it, and when you get the grips move to docker containers.

Groove Armada’s Black Light.

I highly doubt if anyone but me is listening to it.
