For me the problem is usually finding older videos. Youtube's search heavily favors newer videos to the point of completely hiding older ones even if using the exact video title. They've also removed the possibility of sorting results by date somewhere within last 6 months.

Yorhel was also the creator/developer of ncdu among many other open source projects. He was a big open source advocate. The sites he hosted (vndb.org and manned.org) have automated database dumps and source code fully available. Recommend to check out his website https://dev.yorhel.nl/

Archive.today's attack on https://gyrovague.com is still on-going btw. It started just over two months ago. Some IPs get through normally but for example finnish residential IPs get stuck on endless captchas. The JS snippet that starts spamming gyrovague appears after solving the first captcha.

I recently had the idea of somehow integrating Everything's folder size index to explorer and after failing to do it with claude code, I found out that Windhawk + Better file sizes does just that. I would have expected at least some performance degradation but in fact it was the opposite and made it feel much snappier. A huge QoL improvement to explorer that I've now installed to all my Windows PCs. Note that you need the alpha version (1.5) of Everything for best performance.

Yes I have Finnish IP and just before I wrote that post I tested it to make sure it was still happening.

I assume it must be a blanket ban on Finnish IPs as there has been comments about it on Reddit and none of my friends can get it to work either. 5 different ISPs were tried. So at the very least it seems to affect majority of Finnish residential connections.

The weird thing is that there was nothing new in that blog post. And on top of that it couldn't conclusively say who the owner of archive.today is, so no one still knows.

I've not seen any evidence of them editing archived pages BUT the DDOSing of gyrovague.com is true and still actively taking place. The author of that blog is Finnish leading archive.today to ban all Finnish IPs by giving them endless captcha loops. After solving the first captcha, the page reloads and a javascript snippet appears in the source that attempts to spam gyrovague.com with repeated fetches.

Sanctions in this context mean visa restrictions (travel ban to US). So not financial sanctions. Just thought it would be a good thing to clarify.

This seems like a massive improvement for openly available local ASR. Even the 300M model outperforms whisper-large-v3 according to the paper's benchmarks.

I can't tell if anthropic is serious about "model welfare" or if it's just a marketing ploy. I mean isn't it responding negatively because it has been trained that way? If they were serious, wouldn't the ethical thing be to train the model to respond neutrally to "harmful" queries?

VibeVoice-Large is the first local TTS that can produce convincing Finnish speech with little to no accent. I tinkered with it yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how good the voice cloning is and how it "clones" the emotion in the speech as well.

Since OP didn't want the Google account on the pixel to be associated with their personal google account, it is possible no recovery phone number or email was set on it which can make reseting password difficult / impossible without someone at google actually looking in to it.
