Lol that’s hilarious. I laugh so much at the crazy mixing of units we use here in the US. Similarly, it’s quite common to see metric and customary units in the same sentence, as in “add 1 tablespoon to 100 mL of water”.

Looks like the birdie has escaped phoronix…

In the small chance that this comment is serious, Nvidia is found this because the corporate server-based customers need the ability to troubleshoot and debug the driver.

The actual trade secrets are being moved into the proprietary firmware blob and out of the driver.

Whenever I want to pirate something I just go straight to btdig. And if there’s no torrent and I really need to search the web, I’ve had much better luck with Yandex. I figure they’re more resistant to takedowns from western corporations

They’re already trying. Payment processors and big banks are increasingly refusing to do business with porn companies, and even sites that host nsfw artwork with no actual participants.

I’m pretty sure there’s nearly zero overlap between Monero users/people who actually use cryptocurrency as payment and “crypto bros” (those who use Bitcoin and shitcoins as investments)

PNG is a rather slow algorithm based on the DEFLATE compression from zip/gzip. You could extract to bmp or some other uncompressed format. First, to ensure it is lossless, make sure it supports the video’s pix_fmt without needing conversion.

This would not be the default behavior of yt-dlp. Run yt-dlp -vF <video> to view the sort order used. Acodec should come before abr.

It used to be the behavior of the original youtube-dl, however.

Resampling does not lead to any perceptible quality loss, but encoding to aac with libavcodec’s encoder (as YouTube does) definitely will. At the very least, it cuts all frequencies above 15 kHz which are potentially audible. Opus does not, and 128k opus is usually considered transparent.

I can’t find it but somewhere there’s a very detailed explanation from Monty himself about it

Are you using the very latest version? YouTube changed their site again a few days ago and it broke yt-dlps ability to find all thr formats. Update yt-dlp and it should be back to normal. yt-dlp will prefer the opus when it is available by default.

Opus is much better than (YouTube’s) m4a. m4a is better than mp3 (which is an obsolete 30 year old format). YouTube doesn’t serve mp3 (so creating one means re-encoding), and re-encoding lossy formats always loses quality.

I’ve never had any issues getting mail delivered to major providers

Those are the wholesale prices to the utility company itself from the grid operators, not the prices to end users from the utility company. End users pay a flat amount per kWh that does not change by demand.

yt-dlp is pretty much the standard program for it https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

It is installable as a python module, so it should be easy to sandbox if you need to (though it requires ffmpeg too). Nowadays I almost view it as a standard unix utility though and wouldn’t think twice about installing the native package

This one is already in the default uBlock filters - Badware risks

I also strongly suggest adding https://big.oisd.nl/ as a filter list. It’s a large and well maintained domain blocklist (sourced from combining lots of other blocklists) that usually adds lots of these sorts of domains quickly and has very few false positives.

If you want to take it even further, check out the Pro list and Thread Intelligence Feeds list here https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists

These can all be added to a pihole too if you use one.

This is why ublock origin is an essential security tool.

This is a forum for general discussion, not a question and answer board.

Ok but I don’t see how that was ever in dispute?

Companies cry the same way about the bills to ban end to end encryption, and they’re still bad for consumers too

EWG is a well known pseudoscience peddler, even going as far as anti-vaxx claims https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_Working_Group

Every new game that is released with a character dressed in even a slightly sexually suggestive way results in a rabid meltdown from braindead Twitter users. Payment processors like PayPal are forbidding the use of their services for NSFW content due to pressure from fundamentalist christian organizations like Exodus Cry, under the guise of “child safety”

In general, AM radio is the playground of the right wing and I’d love nothing more than to fuck them over because that’s the only thing they’ve ever known.

This is an unhinged take. Kill off the most simple to implement and farthest travelling radio system that would be essential in the event of a nationwide blackout or other emergency (and let the spectrum get sold off to some megacorp), just to own the cons because they broadcast stuff that nobody listens to anyway?

Emergency broadcasts can be made on FM, its not as big of a loss as we fear it will be.

It would be a big loss. FM does not travel beyond the horizon. AM does not require a functioning electrical grid powering the whole country and hundreds of towers linked to telecom services. AM receivers can be built with household scrap. We can get by currently with FM for emergencies, that’s what NOAA weather radio is, but vast swaths of the desert and rural areas are presently left uncovered, and a nationwide power grid or telecom outage would severely impact the service.
