> It has built-in alerting for a whole bunch of protocols, and I let it send messages to Telegram when something requires my attention.

They state the alerting feature and I guess thats a big point.

> Tweaking yt-dlp to run at a velocity that didn't get my IP address put into "you must login" hell was the most difficult part. YouTube is pretty hassle-free in that regard, at least for my IP region.

I have a script that downloads sequentially, and there’s an optional variable interval in between—though I don’t think I’ll actually need that. I once downloaded the entire contents of a YouTube channel that had over 400 GB of audiobooks. After a while, YouTube throttled the speed to 1/2 MB/s—which didn’t bother me, but everything still downloaded successfully. That was already two years ago, though.

A few days ago, I spent two consecutive days nonstop downloading playlists from YouTube Music, but that didn't trigger anything either.

I made a telegram bot for my mother that takes yt urls and downloads stuff to my jellyfin directory so she can download it from jellyfin. She downloaded like 2 tb of audio books the last 3 years.

First I had a simple script. Now I use a little more complex approach with queuing, mqtt and direct replies with wormhole codes so one can download it directly.

and yt-dlp I guess?

Iam a both kind of guy.

Very well done.

That's why Orville is my favorite of the newer ST series. It has the high moral standards of the original series, but with characters who are far from perfect, who make mistakes, and who are sometimes even a little weird.

Pretty cool!

Any source/screenshots?

Yeah, no wonder.

I realized its much faster to do the "google thing" just with chatgpt. Its filters all the sh!t for you. Searching the net frustrates me most of the times this days. Search engines are software for an older generation of the www.

The script is working like charm. I updated the packages so it has more access to tooling (ffmpeg, rmagick etc)

I used codex the first time yesterday and quickly decided I need to sandbox it and came up with a pretty easy and straightforward solution (I think).

I use nixos and use a little wrapper that wraps Codex CLI in Docker. Run codex-box /path/to/project and it starts or reuses a container with only that project bind-mounted, keeping login and history in a separate volume. It uses tmux for detaching and reattaching

Its more like focusing on more than one thing (little momentum) while also figuring out how to steer. It doesn't have to be overly realistic.

Can you please add a "parking simulator" mode? Iam not joking, my SO wants a simple way to train parking and I think that could work very well. Or maybe just let one draw obstacles.

It runs since like 30 minutes in fullscreen in ghostty on my 4k display and I love it.

> I wonder what is the value of such vibe coded programs.

It took weeks for me to code programs with no real value.

I think it's great that anyone with enough ambition can create software now.

Edit: I forked it and added a flake.nix just to see it in action and its awesome.

Proton VPN. They inverst very much in youtube sponsoring and every other twitch streamer is partnering as well.

Yes.

I think this is a good rule of thumb: "If a company invests so much money in advertising over the long term and promotes its products so aggressively, the product must be subpar."

Same and double checked and noticed I wasn't logged in so i logged in and I see still 30.

Yeah, its way faster.

Its not because chatgpt is so superior. Its just because google search is dogshit.

They work on killing the web as we knew it and I fear its kinda working.

> The RGB leds were one of my favorite features of early Android phones. I

Right man. I had forgotten that my nexus 7 had this kind of LED and I really liked it and missed it later.

They said that putting your phone away and reading a book before going to sleep improves the quality of your sleep. That's just not true.

Which is total unrelated and therefore i dont know what you want to commit to the discussion.

Yeah soma.fm is very good. I hear it for like 20 years now on off.

I really hoped for a radio station with nice music.

Good stuff.

Maybe you can make a playback speed option for the simulation/play button? I fail to follow up.

They might hardcode DNS. It's not certain that this will work.

You mean most criminals who get caught?

> I actually read the first book and it was so poorly written it made me wonder if I should continue

In his defense, that was early in his career, and in one of the countless afterwords or prefaces, he also mentions that he has, of course, evolved since then.

"The Gunslinger" is really a bit borderline. The next one, "The Drawing of the Three" is much more complex and better written. You could also read the last book first ("The Wind Through the Keyhole"); it’s separate from the main story and set somewhere in between, but it’s the final book.

> Cormac McCarthy

No country for old men? Its probably in my top 5 of all the books (and movies) that I read. A masterpiece.

Edit: i realized i mixed the names up. Its not black, its "The Gunslinger". Its translated as black in the german series and confused me.

Really cool!

> The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

I did not refresh to check if you already have that, but I really find it very strong. Its from Kings "Dark Tower - Black" (edit: its "The Gunslinger", not Black. its named "Schwarz" in the german translations) the first of 8 books in the series.

If you dont know it; its not like the usual King books. It mixes fantasy elements (inspired by LoTR), western, scfi (robots, AI-trains) cyberpunk and horror. Its a great series!
