I know somebody who got the spdif output working on the Quartz64 [1] with a minimally patched mainline Linux kernel. They needed some custom add on board, but it was cheap from what I understand (~$15).

Here is a pic of their design: https://0x0.st/-wXP.png

You can ping CounterPillow in the quartz64 room on libera.chat if you want more info. They mentioned that they might be open to shipping boards to people.

> They showed that while Google said "single site", they really meant "same tld, but hostnames can differ"

That is how "site" has been defined in the web world (compare to "origin").

For example, consider the SameSite attribute on cookies, site is also used there to mean same tld different hostname. So its not like google made a slip. They've been using this nomenclature consistently.
Many musicians already sell their music directly in unencrypted/no-drm formats*, mainly because of how widespread streaming is. The advent of music piracy is long over and the ones that still do it weren't going to use a music streaming service or purchase the record anyways.

The entities that authored or authorized the system to identify the content as such are the persons that "think" so, because they wrote the definitions that identified him as such. You don't get to just make a system and totally disclaim all liability for what happens with it. If the people at google run the system, then they own what happens. In this case, they own the fact that they identified suspected terroristic activity and they should be held responsible if they don't stop it, at least until it can be reviewed.

Terrorism should not just be dealt with through the courts. If you think someone is committing violence against others your responsibility is to shut down all support of that person, you mustn't aid them in any way. There's no requirement that private entities wait for the courts before stopping commerce with suspected terrorists. If you are google, that means completely locking out all accounts that you identify as involved in terrorism.

The supreme court has held that when making statements of public concern, you haven't committed libel if you are acting without malice. It's pretty clear google wasn't acting with malice here, and that it is a great public concern if someone is actually amassing armored vehicles to use against others. And just because someone is a terrorist, doesn't mean you should or can act through the courts. If google believes someone is acting against non-US nationals in a foreign country, then there's very little the US courts could pragmatically do about it other than order entities in the US not to support them. Of course if evidence did emerge that google flagged that terrorist activity was happening, and they continued supporting that activity, I don't think that would look favorably during any prosecution.

Which, yet again, brings me to my original point, which is that google shouldn't even be putting themselves in the position to scan private data and open themselves up to the liability of having invade privacy and to suspect someone is engaging in crimes.
I don't think it's unreasonable for you to bear the cost of this (it wasn't the host or Airbnb's fault), however it does seem unreasonable that they didn't provide additional help in resolving the situation. It's in both the host and Airbnb's interest to get the problem solved as soon as possible (maybe someone stole the key and is stealing things from the apartment).

If I was the host I would make sure I have someone trusted who has another key for situations like this, and if I didn't, I'd want to at least choose a locksmith. How do I know the locksmith didn't just put in the cheapest - lowest security - lock they had, and once I return I need to pay to have it replaced again?

> Also what would have happened if we weren't fortunate enough to be able to pay for this in the first place? Would we just be out on the streets?

Probably yes. If your baggage was lost on the flight the aircraft may reimburse you, but you'd still need to buy everything yourself first - they aren't going to give you a wad of cash to start spending.

The Australian city of Perth is further from the current Sydney and Melbourne regions for AWS and Azure than New Zealand is!

Sydney-to-Perth is 3,300 km.

Sydney-to-Auckland is 2,150 km.

Just as how our Kiwi friends are annoyed by high latencies to content served from Australia's east coast, the Aussies in Perth have it even worse.

Not to mention that the fibre doesn't go as the crow flies to Perth. The actual undersea cable length is more like 4,600 km, which is more than double the relatively direct path the fibre takes to Auckland...

All of this pales in comparison to central Africa and all of the former-USSR states, where neither AWS nor Azure have any regions: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regio...

At least VB.net kept my favorite legacy error handling strategy: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/languag...
Think of ffmpeg as a universal translator. There are 100s of languages in use around the world, with their own syntax, vocabulary, writing system, formal and informal conventions ..etc.

A universal translator framework cannot provide a bespoke translation engine for all possible permutations of source and target language. Instead it provides a common engine which is meant to be suitable enough for the most common traits shared across languages.

When converting any two languages at random, there will be quirks of the language or errors/ambiguity in the source prose which the engine cannot hope to all automatically recognize and accommodate, so there are all these options that do one specific thing and allow users to modify a step of the translation process. The docs cannot go in detail because the downstream ramifications of the option can vary based on the exact properties of the source-target pair and the transformations requested of ffmpeg. Instead the docs will describe the exact change directly triggered by the option.

----

As for the specific options,

* -fflags +genpts, +igndts, +ignidx

All of these apply to inputs only.

genpts: if input packets have missing presentation timestamps, this option will assign the decoding timestamp as PTS, if present.

igndts will unset dts if packet's pts is set.

ignidx is only applied to a few formats. These provide a keyframe index, which ffmpeg uses to populate its internal KF index for the stream. This option makes ffmpeg ignore the supplied index.

* -vsync

The option is misnamed. It's better called fpsmode. Most commonly used to drop or duplicate frames to achieve a constant framerate stream.

* -copyts

FFmpeg will, by default, remove any starting offset to input timestamps or adjust timestamps if they overflow (roll over) or have a large gap. copyts stops all that and relays input timestamps. Basically used if one wishes to manually examine and adjust timestamps using setpts filter or setts bitstream filter.

* -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1

Discards input timestamps and assign system clock time at time of handling packet as its pts.
Your proposal only works if the production equipment will have a greater than 20-year life. All available evidence says it wont, so the ROI is not 20 years, but practically infinite — and hence insurmountable.

People concentrate too much on mineral density and calcium/VitD when it comes to diary.

Chronic inflammation is the actual reason for negative effects of diary, but it is an fairly inexpensive energy-dense non-perishable food that sells great and most can live with chronic inflammation for decades right up until they need a knee replacement.

> "dedicated hardware does a better job than general purpose one (cameras vs. smartphones)"

I think that depends on what you mean by "better job." For example, I have both a Nikon D-800 and an iPhone. The Nikon takes amazing pictures and the iPhone fits in my pocket. Most of the time, the "better job" I want is a camera that fits in my pocket. On occasion, the "better job" I want is a camera that takes amazing pictures.

I would never abandon either my camera or my phone because my "better job" frequently changes.

The obstacles for lab-grown meat are conceptually similar to the “impossible” obstacles people were claiming would prevent ever bringing the electric car to market successfully. The same kind of circumstances are being ignored and the time it took to achieve the current state of industry is being ignored.

California has been doing a lot of effort to address the noise problem. They made new legislation to the point that it's almost impossible to get illegal exhaust systems installed on street bikes in the state, and that out of state exhaust system vendors will not ship product to the state. Folks interested in that have them shipped to Nevada and then "smuggled" in to the state.

There was also a recent anecdote that the CHP was enforcing noise regulations at a popular motorcycle destination/hangout. And you have to appreciate the difficulty of this, as it requires special equipment, and a specific process to perform the measurement, which is not something the typical CHP officer carries (I can't speak to their training if they, indeed, did have the equipment).

Also, violations are no longer "fix it" tickets, but immediate fines, which deter those that simply swap them out, get them checked out, and then swap them back in. There's also recent (past few years) requirements for badging and labeling from the manufacturers about compliance, and these need to be retained on the equipment which is an immediate violation if they're inspected and found lacking.

It's difficult to enforce in the wild. You can't, necessarily, readily cite someone for being "too loud". Just like you can't cite someone for going "too fast", they need an actual measurement, and they can't normally do that in the field. The labeling requirements help, as well as the fines to vendors and installers if they're caught facilitating the violation. Mind, many bikes are grandfathered in, and it will take more time for them to fade off the roads. But it should get better.

Right now, there is pressure back on the State because there's more legislation in the works that starts making it more and more difficult for folks that do, indeed, wish to modify their vehicles for competition and other off road activities. There should be balance, and it's not unheard of for the State to go too far and need to be reeled back in.

A different take on the NUMA OOM killer story
> ivermectin has strong effect

Strong effect? I read it was a mild antiviral

> and even crazier, that it may be safer or more effective than the mRNA vaccines

It is definitely safer according to the literature

VAERS, even with its data quality issues, is tracking ~7600 deaths from COVID vaccines in the US. VAERS is widely alleged to have large factors of undercounting [1] around vaccine deaths & injuries

> Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported. Although 25% of
ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events
and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. [2]

If VAERS only has 1%, 5%, or 10% of actuals, things are going to get much worse.

However, despite the skyrocketing counts of pericarditis and myocarditis among young men in particular, they are still pushing vaxxes for the youngest that have the lowest death rates from covid.

Really, this is becoming a medical ethics issue of coercion and a violation of Due No Harm.

There are a few methods for unknown device connections, but it's usually one of, or a combination of:

- a special qr code format that informs an app about the wifi network/wifi password (and other setup info)

- an app scans your wifi networks and joins the one that starts with the device's prefix (not supported on iOS except via a special api[0])

- app requests bluetooth permission, connects to the bluetooth accessory, and from there it exchanges temporary wifi AP info or does the entire setup over BLE

14% of US beef is exported, but if the beef industry disappeared overnight, no one would starve as a result, and neither would the ~70M dogs in the US, which are omnivores btw.

https://motion.dev/guides/waapi-improvements#durations-as-se...: I did a double take on seeing .currentTime as milliseconds in the Web Animations API, because HTMLMediaElement.currentTime (that is, on <audio> and <video>) is defined in seconds! But what really struck me as curious on reflection is that if I hadn’t been presented with currentTime, I think I would have expect times to be in milliseconds, because that’s what things like setTimeout and Date.now use, and they’re the sorts of things you’d use before the Web Animations API was a thing (well, except that requestAnimationFrame supplanted setTimeout years ago). So from the perspective of the web platform that WAAPI was building on, I think milliseconds made sense.

CSS doesn’t have this issue: times require a unit, so you can say 1s or 1000ms as you desire. Unfortunately you can’t really do united quantities in JavaScript; the ergonomics would be terrible for arithmetic and such, and so just using numbers and declaring them to be either seconds or milliseconds is the only sane option. Unfortunately, some things work in seconds and others in milliseconds.

In the end, people are sure to make mistakes in one direction or the other, but the factor of a thousand is big enough that it should normally be noticed promptly and fixed.
