Huh, thanks. I don’t quite understand it but I guess a token makes sense. Similar to how I can use reddit with VPN when logged in, but not without. I don’t even have a youtube account any more though since they forcibly degoogled me by demanding my phone number.

I use freetube without anything but the issue is that my VPN is blocked now, and a self hosted invidious or piped won’t help with that, right? I imagine I’m going to need some kind of split for the VPN, where some apps don’t use VPN.

But even freetube is somewhat clumsy for queueing videos and proper theater mode without borders. Using Youtube is becoming more and more cumbersome lol.

I wish there was a simple executable that pre-downloads and buffers my youtube channel videos and then just launches an optimized local web server that has good UX.

No somthing more than just “mere” syntax highlightinng or prettifying like e.g. in VS Code. Being able to change line height for a “headline” when you declare a new class. Or maybe lines that illustrate how a temp variable is used. But it’s all vague ideas and I can’t picture or describe it well and you’d have to demo this with a graphical design tool I think.

Is there some language or “syntax formatter” that turns source code into something more off a visual programming language? Like a WYSIWYG markdown editor.

Like python doesn’t have curly braces, but you could add some kind of “block illustration”.

Or you could have illuminated initials for variable names to make them more unique.

I recently thought about what I’m missing, and came up with something rather complicated (sorry, nothing simple haha)

Basically I’m often compiling information in markdown text files. But images are still web hosted. Sometimes I use spreadsheets and wish I could do simple additions in markdown tables. Or I use bookmarks, but know websites will go down and wish I could just “backup” any website in a compact file and organize it without mucking around with files. Zotero does this partly. I also use “SingleFile” to save websites but it would be nice if it was something semi-compatible to web-archive. Or maybe just save a stripped down version of an article like you see in “reader view” on Firefox. And of course usable in both desktop and mobile.

I do think Project Jupyter does something like this and there are also other note taking apps.

Overall the state of computer science in 2025 is still deplorable. The very basics of storing data still don’t have good solutions.

But that is a bonus, less people will bother me haha

Nah you’d have a chimney. The main reason I want a “separating drying toilet” is that it would have a fan and wouldn’t smell at all in your bathroom. And you’d probably also have a separating toilet as first step, then dehydration which can be closed cycle, and then either burning or compositing. And with that and biodegradable soap and detergents, sanitation becomes much less infrastructure intensive.

The only thing smart I want is a faucet that activates with button OR the knee / foot sensor, and gives water always with a precise programmed temperature and flow.

That and a temperature and timer controlled frying pan.

Well an incinerating toilet that just dries burns my shit using a 340W solar panel would be cool too.

There is also a recent academic book (by an Ukrainian academic) about the maidan massacre: The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine: The Mass Killing that Changed the World | SpringerLink

Evidence shows beyond a reasonable doubt the far right / oligarchs were behind the mass killing of over 100 people and blame it on the government in a false flag operation. But people in the west will never hear of this. And if they hear they will dismiss it as conspiracy theory or propaganda. So it’s really no wonder people like linus react like this.

I guess any used android smartphone should have plenty of apps. Then you can even have video com

What is “media freeze”?

Still interesting. zstandard using pretrained dictionaries (zstd --train). Previously they used zlib.

Does anybody know if you can pretrain dictionaries for 7zip for large ebook libraries? Or any better compression library for text?

Because they still want to support embedded video you can still watch using apps from your own IP or download using yt-dlp

Thanks. I imagine most unicode characters and emojis are just copied over from some default font?

Maybe they’ll patch it into a https://www.nerdfonts.com

Can I use a seedbox to host videos for peertube?

What’s ABI? API compatible with linux kernel? EDIT: Never mind, Application binary interface

And what’s TCB?

But does it have unicode emojis?

Hmm it specifically seems to be missing emojis

Maybe the EU should pass some regulations that require hardware manufacturers to open source the drivers for power saving on linux?

How is the situation for modern desktop hardware like Intel 12000 series or AMD? Is there any problems there? I’d like to build a low power desktop PC with linux that can still game.

Hmm. The initial drama seems bullshit, starting a huge fight over the word “craftsmanship” is just hypersensitive at best or toxic behavior to manufacture outrage at worst. A gender neutral terms would be preferable but hardly the biggest issue right now.

But since “uncle bob” supports Trump then that alone is enough to condemn him as a supporter of fascism and bigotry.

That would be great. In addition to this, I’d like something that combines bookmarks and something like zotero, so I bookmark something and create a locally hosted web archive. Ideally saving what is already loaded by the browser. So if the bookmark site dies I still have my archive including all images.

Ideally this could also improve coverage of webarchive through p2p.
