  • Computer acts as a phone and connects to your YouTube player. It gets information about what you're watching, and checks against the sponsorblock database. If it finds a match, it sends skip commands to the player when a section of the video needs skipping

  • Temper your expectations. It's better than it was at launch, but it's still fundamentally infinite.

    I find it good for a few games, but any more than an hour of play and I just don't want to play anymore. I'll switch over to 5 or another game.

  • So they went to the same model Pandora used to use 15 years ago

  • https://github.com/dmunozv04/iSponsorBlockTV

    Docker container that you run on a computer on your network, such as an RPi, and add your YouTube playing TVs and Chromecasts and consoles and such. It watches what you're playing and provides sponsorblock skipping for them automatically

    If you're using Linux and have podman v4.4 or higher installed, you can use this container file to load it as a systemd service:

     
        
    [Unit]
    Description="Sponsorblock for networked youtube clients"
    Wants=network-online.target
    After=network-online.target
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target default.target
    
    [Service]
    Restart=always
    TimeoutStartSec=900
    
    [Container]
    Image=ghcr.io/dmunozv04/isponsorblocktv:latest
    Volume=/etc/containers/config/sponsorblock:/app/data
    
      

    You'll need to generate the config file by hand the first time, follow the instructions in the GitHub wiki above

  • I use foam for vscode. Works great, is codium compatible, and is open source

  • I wasn't singularity to get rebooted and finished

  • You should refocus your efforts to OpenStreetMap and it's associated entities. Don't give Google free data they will later take away or charge you for

  • Search input elements still don't have a native "clear" button

    JFC that's been a thing in webkit for nearly 2 decades

  • IBM token link connectors were hermaphroditic

  • FireWire was an amazing interface, and nothing has quite come as close. The ability for devices on a FireWire daisy chain to talk to each other without the computer being involved made it excellent for storage

  • An ad hoc sorting system for a grid of tiles on an enterprise app

    Instead of sorting across row wise, it sorted columnar. So it was

     
        
    A E I M
    B F J N
    C G K O
    D H L P
    
      

    Instead of

     
        
    A B C D
    E F G H
    I J K L
    M N O P
    
      

    This was a requirement from the CEO. Since we used this project (dogfooding) we stuck a secret search box/command palette in, which you could hit . and then type the name of the thing you wanted and click it

  • Oh look the guy with the $50 upvote is responding to the guy who doesn't have any karma. Come on!

  • Yeah, it's very good. Not having results full of shit like geeksforgeeks or Pinterest is nice, but possible with browser extensions. Being able to influence the rank of different sites, to either bubble up or down in your results is one of the secret killer features

  • You've been able to shape fruit for basically it's entire existence. Put a watermelon in a box while it's growing and it comes out square. Put it in a Halloween skull and you'll get a skull shaped melon

  • Throw them into the ocean, same as all car batteries

  • Subaru Solana or whatever it's called. I bought an ascent earlier this year, but it basically came down to splitting hairs when I went with it over the Solana. Absolute blast to test drive that thing, and I'd love to take it down to Moab or similar places.

    Probably going to wind up leasing one next year, so I don't have to worry about battery decline down the road

  • I'm on the yearly ultimate or whatever they called it. My wife is interested too, but they don't have an equivalent to the ultimate in the family package (yet), so she just sticks with bing.
