I hadn’t bothered because it was mostly LLM slop I edited until it worked, so it’s specific and not robust. Just had to hack something together the night before I had to leave on a trip… Haven’t had time to tag my music properly, so I’m still using it. The magic sauce is just ffmpeg and the mutagen Python lib.


Same almost. I have an ~800gb main library of mostly lossless files that I squash to around 150gb by transcoding to 196k or something opus that i put locally on my phone. I also strip embedded cover art which can save a stupid amount of space sometimes; relying on folder hierarchy with cover.jpg/png files. (Bitrate is pretty overkill for me so I may drop it to 128-160…)
I haven’t had the time to manage the tags properly on my reference library*, but my folder hierarchy encodes artist/album/title with optional years and track numbers. I wrote a linter script to check the structure, that every folder has a cover art image, and to warn about lossy formats not in directories suffixed with [lossy] (purely for documentation purposes; not used in script logic).
My transcode script generates tags from the folder and filenames, only copying genre tags if they exist and stripping everything else. Lossless files are transcoded while structure, art, and lossy files are copied. Then that result is synced to my mobile devices. So whenever I add music my workflow is to just name file folders properly and download or extract art then I just lint, transcode, and then resync.
*(Tags of my reference library don’t matter so much to me, but the squashed lib needs consistent tags for mobile apps for behave as I intend)


The cold cruelty of reality isn’t enough suffering for the stupid, so they insist on creating more.

Was the couch underage?


I just upgraded my tty to have a width of 128 characters! The future is now


Me, going to a pickle factory when I hate pickles:
We all start somewhere
Luckily this won’t be on the exam…


Wild. When I think of the most sincere and well-argued people I’ve ever met, the two positions that come to mind immediately are vegans and anarchists. Are you sure you aren’t confusing anarchist political philosophy with the highschool tier / edgy teen perception of anarchy?


People who point out the theoretical risks of nuclear energy are often quick to dismiss the realized harms of fossil fuels. And I don’t just mean long term climate effects, but the directly attributable estimated deaths.


It’s okay. Israel is easily confused for the Jewish people if you’re stupid. I get it
I don’t know anything about Dune so I always think about the spirit of Harkonnen from Hellsing when people mention the name and TIL it’s “a humorous caricature of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, the principle villain [from dune]”… So I was thinking about the right guy just in a round-about way



I hope they make the stargate ancient chair weapon in Antartica or something
I mean, it’s not like a boyband could do any worse so…


“Democrats should develop an actionable agenda of democratic reform[…]”
Hahaha good one


Monetarily, yes. And I don’t follow him too closely; what constitutes “bowing”?


I run NixOS. Mine came with too many. We can share.
Yes uteruses utilize NTPoAC (an unofficial spec that is defacto-standard in industry, roughly implementating of rfc5905 using rfc2549). This makes women’s periods synchronize when peering to correct for internal clock differences. The individual unit isn’t guaranteed to be exactly 12 times per year due to latency variation and peer graph discrepancies, but the count is monotonic and regular on average, resulting in amortized constant time complexity which works out to be approximately 12±0.03 in practice, as observed in real world applications.
