My favorite is StalinSort. You go through the list and eliminate all elements which are not in line.

I like IMDb ratings as a broad gauge of quality. 99% of movies under 5.5 or so are not something I enjoy. Beyond that it's just taste. Although I like most movies in the top 250, the order of movies (x is better than y) is useless to me.

Have you tried wanting to be monetized?

But why create the problem in the first place? Why not step onto the bath mat with dry feet?

I will never understand people who leave puddles or wet bath mats instead of drying themselves in the already wet shower.

I used to be all on board with that, but seeing what a colossal waste of resources AI is, I've come to question other efforts like this one or calculating pi to a trillion digits. The trigger here for me was the use of GPUs, which I've come to associate with AI waste. Sure, I know they're just a tool. But I still don't see what value will come from knowing ever bigger prime numbers.

I didn't use to do this, but with the world being on fire I feel like I should ask whether the amount of energy put into finding huge primes is really worth it.

Could you even make a more obvious ad for Bluesky?

Yeah, I don't think there's intelligent life in our galaxy. Life definitely, on the level of microbes. But probably nothing higher.

 

I have a MiTV box with Android that runs apps for Jellyfin, Prime Video and Disney Plus. I would like to replace it with a mini PC, like some N100 box, to have more control over what runs on it. I tried a Pi with Kodi once, but I hate the UI so much. It's just not my thing.

What other options do I have with self-hosted alternatives? I want a central UI like AndroidTV offers, I need Jellyfin, Disney Plus, Prime Video and some local TV station's streaming offerings and some remote control.

I don't think that's possible, as you can only run Disney and Prime in a browser or their apps. And using a browser on the TV is not nice UX. But maybe some of the great people here have cracked that nut and can help me.

 

Are there any free/open-source TTS options out there that are on the same level as Google Cloud's? I tried a lot of free ones, but they are absolutely awful and still sound like my Amiga did 30 years ago. With LLMs being available as open source, I am hoping there's also a good TTS offering I just haven't found yet.

Source for Comics? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi,

I am always looking for sources for comics, particularly franco-belgian in English or German. The only sources I can find are these godawful download sites where you need to pay or your download takes a day.

Anyone have better sources?

Edit: Thanks a lot everyone!
