That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

He is a first-time offender, and the crime he has been found guilty of is a non-violent paper crime.

Right, first time non-violent felon, like Michael Cohen.

They outline it pretty well here:

Amazon and several other companies hired like crazy during pandemic. Now they’re trying to shrink the workforce via a combination of outright layoffs and tight policies to make anyone on the verge of quitting go ahead and do it so they don’t have to pay severance.

Bonus points for shedding older, more experienced, more expensive employees vs. cheaper early in career employees.

Oh, thanks for the correction. I misunderstood which Friday it was. Almost two weeks to surrender seems generous.

Now what would be super interesting is if the Georgia Court doesn’t grant him bail on Friday. That would throw a bit of a wrench in his plans to be somewhere on Monday. Near-zero chance of that happening, but it’s the only way to keep him from intentionally trying to taint the jury pool.

Another use case: when you look at activities that flow across multiple devices and you’re correlating the sequence of events, having every device set to the exact same, ideally correct time makes correlation of events less confusing.

You have to have the ability to advocate for your rights under the law. Even if there are laws saying that the platform is not liable for content of the users, there can still be nuisance suits or prosecutions. Even if those actions are frivolous, it still costs to respond to them. They generally can’t be ignored.

Similar vein, “Dave’s Old Porn”. I’ve found seeds for a few episodes, but never have tracked down the full set.

I’m not OP but I was curious and went looking.

I think this is it: https://librex.devol.it/

I run wireguard VPN, qbitorrent, most of the *arr apps, and Jellyfin all in containers on a headless Raspberry Pi 4, with storage backed by a NAS. It works surprisingly well, I just ensure that I never need to do transcoding.

It’s a really small dollar investment to try it to see if it meets your needs.

15 exabytes sounds low. Rough math, 1 20 TB hard drive per physical machine with 50,000 physical machines is one exabyte raw storage. I bet 50,000 physical machines is a small datacenter for Google.

I just bought a few at adafruit. I didn’t realize they were in short supply now.

There’s some truth to that. The computers I was first exposed to costs thousands of dollars and all you got was a text console with a prompt. You had to figure out how to make the magic box do something meaningful.

Now a Raspberry Pi computer with 1000x more compute power, memory plus network connectivity costs $6. The equivalent of the computers I originally learned to program on is now basically a disposable commodity.

No, I’m wrong. I thought Matrix had an ActivityPub integration, but I went and looked and I don’t think it does. I’ll edit my comment.

I’ve recoded a bunch of x264 to AV1 and routinely gotten file sizes that are 10-15% of the original file size (a little more than 1/10th the original size)

What I’ve found is that source content often has a lot of key frames. By dropping key frames down to one per 300 or one per 150 frames (one per 10 or 5 seconds for 30fps) and at scene changes, you can save a LOT of space with no loss of quality. You do give up the ability to skip to an arbitrary point in the content, however. You may have to wait a few seconds for rendering to display if you scroll to an arbitrary point in the content.

If you’re just watching the content straight through, no issues. I set CRF to achieve 96 VMAF and I can’t tell any difference in quality between the content with that setup.

I had one corpus of content that I reduced from 1.3 TB down to 250 GB after conversion.

Unfortunately, only the most recent TVs have AV1 playback built in, and the current Fire sticks, Chromecast don’t have support for playback from a LAN source. I’m hoping the next crop of Chromecast and similar devices get full support, I’m assuming it’s just a matter of time until AV1 decoding is included in every hardware decoder since it’s royalyy-free.

Edit: nevermind, I was wrong about this, ignore me.

Was: I think you’re looking for Matrix. However, I’m not a Matrix user, `so I’m not totally sure.

AV1 is the shit. Still doesn’t have broad support on consumer devices yet, but it will come.

Task failed successfully.

My neighborhood has roundabouts. A couple of times when there’s not any traffic around, I’ve let autopilot attempt to navigate them. It works, mostly, but it’s quite unnerving. AP wants to go through them ready faster than I would drive through them myself.
