- Thank you for describing the process and best of luck with soundreads!
- When I read your first comment, I immediately thought that the audiobooks are voiced by AI. I'm really surprised to learn the opposite.
So you take existing recordings created before 1929 and remaster them? Are recordings (of books published pre-1929) which were created after 1929 in public domain too?
I don't even want to ask about producing and voice actors.. Really nice idea and realization!
- I don't whitelist IPs for ssh anymore, but I always run sshd on randomly selected port, in order to not get noticed by port scanners.
I do it for a really long time already, and until now I am not sure if it has any benefit or it's just umbrella in a sideways storm.
- I don't think that people in Scandinavia are well informed about how life can be for the poorest outside of their country.
> bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life >>>for you<<<.
..and when asked this, I believe they consider how bad it can get for them in their country.
Based on my experience living and talking with people in Scandinavia and eastern europe.
- This will be really handy for dream journaling. When you just woke up and know that you'll forget the dream as soon as you open your eyes, you can click the ring and record.
- Can you please refer to the source of the Aliexpress design claim?
I looked through https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=46162368 and there was nothing like that mentioned.
- I read the drama last week, and after seeing this, I have to side with Rebble. I think they kept the community alive since Eric M cashed out and Fitbit shut it down. As the stars have aligned in recent years, Eric revives Pebble, but if Rebble wouldn't spend all the effort maintaining the app store, his consumer base would be much smaller and it would be much harder to bootstrap again.
With Repebble (Core Devices) and their new appstore (or/and apt-style repository system), Rebble seems obsolete, it's a bit sad. They deserve credit which they won't be able to claim anymore. They should be rewarded somehow for bridging the dark age, otherwise it seems they served purpose all until Eric returned and said "Thank You and fuck off".
Also, to me, Eric talking doesn't sound authentic, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's lying. I don't mean to insult though, mad respect for putting project like Pebble together.
Hope that there's some place and purpose for Rebble in the future.
- I've been working on real estate prices map visualization for a couple of years as a side job. There's
https://hintakartta.com- Aggregations of m2 price and price history development - Area and address details with time-on-market stats - 3D map visualization - Yes! I really like the idea of podman, but after 4 hours trying to make it work on 24.04, I reverted to Docker and compose.
There is some dissonance in presenting Podman as a plug-in replacement for Docker, and making it so damn hard to install on (some category's) most popular contemporary LTS Linux distro.
- When I needed to download a free linux distro iso image, I realized I can use inbuilt search in bittorrent clients like qbittorent. No need for web trackers. There were even very recent releases.
- I sent the email and got response from Czech Pirate MEP:
[..] The bad news is already circulating—the EU Council is now led by the Danes, who would like to push their position of unrestricted surveillance through among the other member states.
Just a few months ago, however, a vote—only to reopen the discussion!—was supposed to take place, and most states blocked it. So the Danes may try to gain a majority, but we have no indication that the positions in the Council will change significantly. For now.
The bad news, of course, is that as parliamentary elections take place in the coming years in the national states (for example in Czechia in a month), the positions of the states may change. [0]
This needs to be noted, and if it starts to change to our disadvantage, sound the alarm with the new (czech) government.
However, I also have some good news for you in general—for the next four years. :)
Legislation in the EU is approved in such a way that the Parliament and the Council create a position, and then they must work together to reach a compromise.
The current situation is blocked because there is no Council position. However, even if the Council were to finally approve a position and it were terrible, the Parliament's position is strongly against the proposal, and after discussions with other rapporteurs, I can assure you that nothing will change (only the KDU-CSL (a czech christian-democratic party) is causing problems ;)). So no "spying compromise" will pass through us.

[0] There will be parliamentary elections in autumn 2025 in Czechia, and the populist parties are leading the polls, most notable Ano 2011 led by A. Babis (a mid-left party). I don't know what's their position on Chat Control, but I guess it will be whatever they estimate is going to gain them most votes in elections coming up next.

- I root for this, but runnign LLM locally disqualifies a lot of workstations, for example laptops with integrated graphics.
- You can just buy and use.
- TIL that Kobo is running sshd :D. But cool, I'll try to find what the credentials are there.
- I think there's a lot of sideloading. Buying non-{english,mandarin,spanish} books happens often in other book eshops, usually language- or -country specific. If you supply your kindle ID, they are able to send it straight to the reader, but the book collection is then stored in the local eshop (or more eshops if you buy from multiple). That's why Calibre exists.
Yes, This is what I failed to express in my previous comment.
