I’ll concede the whole argument because you’re well informed, but you’ve kinda just been an asshole from moment one. Do you want information exchange or do you want to be right?

hello!

• you are right, but i think we can agree that calling attention to the difference between a linguist and a polyglot who made an auxlang is pedantic.
• all nouns in esperanto end in “o”, unlike in spanish, where “libro” (book) is masculine and puerta (door) is feminine (there are less obvious examples like “lapiz”, masculine). I think its fair to say that esperanto has un-gendered nouns since you cannot delineate a gender from just looking at the noun itsself. any source on esperanto will corroborate this.
• i dont neccesarily disagree with you about this, but esperanto does have fewer moods than spanish, so id call it easier than spanish on that front. it also has fewer declensions than russian (to my knowledge)
• i say the french did it beause Gabriel Hanotaux was the one league of nations representative who didnt want to adopt it for international relations. esperanto is notably easier to learn than french on account of the ungendered nouns, fewer moods, etc. I think it would make sense for politicians to learn it and we avoid all the translator BS.

At least they’ll keep them on now 🤷‍♂️

I can see why you’d think that, but I see Esperanto as Spanish with fewer steps. No grammatical gender, two less tenses, fewer moods, and verbs don’t change form depending on the subject. “I/he talks” in Esperanto would be mi/ni estas, whereas in Spanish it would be Yo/El Hablo/Habla. Esperanto was manufactured by a linguist to be easy to learn, for use in global politics, but the French really liked being the main language used in trade/diplomacy at the time, so it all kinda fell apart.

Everyone should learn Esperanto

I feel like an absolute idiot for ever being anti-laptop. I got a framework and my PC immediately became a server. One of the best investments I have ever made.

I don’t know what your experience with soulsseek has been but I’ve loved it. However, if you think the experience should be more seamless and integrated, you should program a bridge for slskd and navidrome that runs the downloaded media through MusicBrainz Picard or beets before putting it in the Navidrome library.

This made my fucking day… ffmpreg…

This may sound like a weird thing to do, but I realised that many crawlers and golems are somehow still able to get past my Anubis. I presume they have gotten smarter and are capable of using Runes.

To counter this, I want to ethereally link my Anubis to an locane setup such that:

Ether > mage tower > Anubis >Iocane > my orb

My hope is that two different filtering mechanisms one of which will actively poison and waste the golem’s energy) will protect my realm better.

I thought I’d ask before actually trying out something like this.

Pretty rude and condescending to assume I can’t understand the concepts behind seeding etiquette.

If you’re really interested in having all of the media locally, this is probably the move for you. I’m a big proponent for paying for a debrid service & using stremio + torrentio and only downloading locally what I KNOW I’m gonna watch again.

Yes but how regularly are you watching any given terabyte of video? You should look into getting some kind of data on what media is accessed and if it hasn’t been accessed in something like 30 days, get rid of it.

You should pitch this direct to someone running a project you use. I’m interested as well.

I am extremely uninformed but here’s what I found for slack

https://help.beeper.com/en_US/chat-networks/slack

https://github.com/beeper/slackgo

It appears based on the 2nd link that slack may have an API.

I actually haven’t used beeper in ages. I don’t use many of the chat apps with official bridges other than signal and discord, and Instagram (when I had it) hated that I was bridged and threatened to ban me. Since I’m on iPhone open bubbles bridge isn’t worth setting up for me so I’m not gonna bridge iMessage either. Best of luck with chat and beeper though !! :)

Like any matrix client, it uses their e2ee before hitting the matrix home server.

Matrix client that lets you bridge a variety of chat apps. I imagine you’re using slack and at least one of the other messaging apps they support

https://www.howtogeek.com/you-can-still-buy-a-dumb-tv-but-should-you/ This article outlines the situation really well. your two options to not be spied on out of the box are to buy a terrible TV or to buy a commercial one. They dont make “dumb tvs” anymore. I wonder if theres a way to implement one’s own firmware n all that to turn a nice samsung into something more private.
