https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattr figured out some parts of this. Notably, you picked your own total monthly donation, and then clicked a button on participating sites to allocate a fraction of your total to them. AFAICT it worked as advertised, but raised new issues with donation behavior. E.g. I obviously like curl every month, so should I click its button monthly? Twice monthly? If I am a developer of some other useful OSS software, should I click curl's button and the curl devs click my button? Does the money just slosh around between merchant-customers? Is that good?
I am trying to make efficient gst pipelines for security cameras. I only took a quick look at GPS so far. The UX for making connections is a little weird, but so far the whole tool seems to work as advertised.
By having an LLM name the chapters, I meant having whisper do speechrec on the chapter and then asking an LM to summarize the content into a name up to k chars.
Yeah, I play a VHS tape and capture the whole thing. Maybe I should be using a scene detector to split files on camera cuts, which would be roughly correct for home movies (but not for TV shows).
That's where I am now. I'd like to optimize out the retyping and duplication of time strings.
I want the player ui (I'm using mpv) to have a command that:
1. Remembers the last end time to use as this chapter's start time
2. Gets the current time to use as chapter-end.
3. Accepts the name (e.g. 'chapter1').
4. Runs the ffmpeg copy command.
Perhaps mpv+lua can already handle this. I see commands for setting a loop range and for calling a subprocess. Not sure how I'd input the chapter name. Maybe I'll have an LLM name the chapters for me :)
Can you recommend a tool for dicing up 2h digitizations of VHS tapes? I want to play the 2h video, seek around easily, mark 'chapters' and give them filenames, then do a no-transcode rough cut extraction of each chapter into its own video.
I seem to recall yet another one, maybe with a name that invoked a traveling group of helpers who would jump into projects briefly to fix them up?
On a related note, it would be cool if there was a way to leave a hobo sign equivalent if you find a project that is well-run and easy to contribute to. If the build and tests Just Work, etc., we should praise that project in a way that
1) encourages helpers to pick it since they'll have a good experience, and
2) provides a good example for other projects to follow.
I threw something together to address that goal. It was really hard to render obsidian-md into html that looked about the same. I started with general MD libs, then ultimately used obsidian-html. Obsidian's MD is not standard at all, though I'm not sure any MD is fully specified since there are so many edge cases.
It seems like something happened around 2026-05-01 (https://bigasterisk.com/post/delivered-email-rate-2026.png) where it became easier for spammers to make technically legitimately deliverable mails. Or my postfix is setup wrong.
