It’s good to see you here! For a long time I was just using your project Sakura CSS file to mane everything look pretty.

Even though I have moved on to using a mix of LaTeX.css and a two column theme, I still love using Sakura whenever I’m crafting a hand rolled HTML page for something.

If you want to sail the high seas, MyAnonaMouse is one of the best private trackers.

Audiobookbay has a better audio book collection than MAM. Plus, it's a public tracker and doesn't require an invite

I've tended to avoid public trackers when I can find what I want on private ones. I'm not sure that they are any safer in terms of consequences resulting from being noticed by media firms and relevant legal groups, but the transfer speeds are generally better (due to there being less leeching presumably), and public tracker UIs tend to be more filled with junk that sometimes gets past my ad/malware filters.

[Not a comment on Audiobookbay specifically, I don't remember having tried that one and it may be great for all I know]

This is pretty interesting. Do you have more information about this?

I’m pretty sure the parent comment is referring to capacity constraints. When the Americans come online in the morning, Claude frequently can’t keep up with demand and error messages saying the system is at capacity are common.

I used Openrouter for Claude and Deepseek which chooses between alternative hosts for a given model. I excluded Deepseek provider as its underperforming.

I've noticed it too. When it started the overcapacity messages went away. I think they are switching to models with fewer parameters during oversubscribed hours.

Oh man! Wish I had found out about this 3 years ago. I am graduating in May, and I’ve had a terrible experience with Xfinity trying to self-host. CenturyLink doesn’t even service my apartment complex.

p.s self-plug: for our senior year capstone we are working on a secure/private home router firmware. Since you are in this space (tangentially) and local, I would love to chat with you

Anytime! Give me a call or send me a message, we're out at a crag now in Boulder Canyon taking advantage of the weather, so leave me a message if I don't answer and I'll get back to you asap.

Please don’t use C !

and even the Gopher protocol!

While not the best solution, I use this userscript to disable shorts— https://github.com/Mr-Comand/youtube-shorts-remover-tampermo...

Those are a cancer on YouTube, they don't offer any way to disable the shit. And on mobile it's even worse, there is a dedicated tab button you can't hide, even if you are a paying customer no way to avoid it.

There's also the unhook youtube browser extension.

I'll give it a try. Thank you!

I think there’s a difference between crawling websites at a reasonable pace instead of just hammering the server to the point it’s unusable.

Nobody has problems with the Google Search indexer trying to crawl websites in a responsible way

For sure.

I'm really just pointing out the inconsistent technocrat attitude towards labor, sovereignty, and resources.

Shameless plug but I maintain a gopher client for iOS/macOS/visionOS: https://web.navan.dev/iGopherBrowser/

A macOS menu bar app to convert image snippets to LaTeX. I’m trying to turn it into an open source replacement for MathPix’s Snip.

QRing

QRing doesn't work with the R02 for me (it works with the R06). LeFun Health is what works with the R02 for me.
