Just wanted to share this, these are my $15 monoprice headphones which I bought in ~2014. They have an 1/8th inch audio cable jack instead of an integrated cable. Both sides of the plastic structure have snapped and been repaired with superglue. The speaker cones inside the headphones have come loose and been repaired. The cable has been replaced.
Today I finally lay these headphones down to rest. I detached my Antlion Audio magnetic mic mount from them and re attached it to a new pair of headphones. RIP.
About 5 watts at the wall. A purely self-hosted live transcription of a Mumble audio chat. Transcription annotated by the speaker's name.
progress on self hosted transcription api using google app and google neural network accelerator hardware

My friend @j3s explains in very simple and approachable terms how to git gud at shell scripting, and why you would want to do that
Story about a problem we had with the cyberia.club matrix server and how I went.... just a *little* bit overboard on solving it :

thank you matrix synapse for creating another 500 million rows in the state_groups_state table 🙏
I set up this thin client computer in my fathers basement today. It cost $35 used on ebay, is fanless at 10W TDP, and has 8GB of RAM.
IMO, pressure on #FediCulture to push CW usage closer to the "NSFW" mainstream cultural standard is not necessarily a bad thing. I acknowledge this is probably a classic straight white guy take but i think CW is weird! I honestly have a hard time believing that the CW feature / culture is as good at preventing harm as its hard-core adherents claim.
The question of what should be CW'd, what images should be fogged until click, etc, its subjective, culturally relative, and I feel like the current status quo might be a #Whiteness that has made black folks feel uncomfortable / unwelcome here.
Some of this is based on reading @shengokai@zirk.us takes on Mastodon and it's affordances, some of it from other posts I've seen around, I am curious what other ppl around me think.
