It means you have no fking clue how any of this works. Libertarians don’t want a society that functions well for everyone.

Their community spaces are largely unmoderated because of the libertarian belief that they’ll just regulate themselves.

It shouldn’t be that hard. What you really need is bandwidth.

The podcasting 2.0 spec has tags for alternate means of distribution as well. I’ve been wanting to see torrent magnet links in there, but it hasn’t happened yet as far as I know

good shows, just don’t get involved with their community, its an unmoderated, libertarian nightmare.

That’s a tarpit that you’re describing, like iocaine or nepthasis. Those are to feed the crawler junk data to try and make their eventual output bad.

Anubis tries to not let the AI crawlers in at all.

ok, then keep using your chromecast.

no, but then you want something like this https://github.com/rgerganov/shanocast

You use it as an input for something like snapcast.

You can get standalone Bluetooth devices that just output audio.

ytdl-sub is by far the lightest weight of all of them.

I already know, but I also hate the “wow this shit we have sucks why isn’t it better god someone please donate their skill to improve this thing I consume for free already and also show up to complain about while doing nothing”

Waiting on your obviously so skilled patches to make it happen.

But sandisk never had these problems until they were a WD brand.

So one time is your maximum for a company blatantly misdirecting you? Or maybe you’ll still be a customer if they do something like that again?

Western Digital, among other things, has been selling SMR drives using CMR SKUs. So if you’re building something and wanted specific performance, and selected some WD drives based on what the SKU says, you might end up with SMR drives, which are not nearly as performnt. It was a bate and switch tactic and they never really acknowledged it except for making the “red pro” line of drives, which are CMR. Regular “red” drives are SMR now.

Impermenance is not the same as immutability.

WD is a shit company doing shit things, so Seagate. They are less shit, for now.

I use restic to backblaze b2.
