The US has been a nation no-one should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and can not be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election, and concluded the Nuremberg-a-Lago trials.

LLM output is one of the few places I’d be OK with seeing ads. I’d almost go so far as advocating for it to be mandated, because it would help make slop easier to identify and filter out.

The actual span is a random period between 2 and 4 weeks, it’s interesting to watch how long it takes for attempts to resume.

I prefer a more granular visibility, repeat offenders automagically ratchet up their stay in the sin bin.

Rookie numbers.

My favourite f2b rule is the one strike ban on SSH root login attempts. Any IP originating a SSH root login attempt is clearly compromised, and gets black holed on all my hosts for a month.

Note: direct SSH login isn’t permitted at all, the daemon is exposed purely to log the attempts.

Don’t eat shit.

Mulch the rich.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

LLMs can’t ’go rogue’, as that would require innate coherence and intent.

They’re explosively imprecise, statistically luke-warm grey goo extrusion sphincters of historical sewage.

Anyone who deploys one without supervision deserves everything it excretes, and anyone impressed by it enough that it resembles intelligence to them is betraying their limited natural capacity.

The Gnome variant would be GSpot.

He can’t remember the start of the sentence he’s actively speaking, his memory will play no structural role in any of his future retaliations.

National patriotism is a religion that worships dirt.

The Trump-Epstein Scrotum of Terra-Interred Security, or TESTIS.

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

No one who is impressed by LLMs should ever be permitted to make decisions which affect anyone not similarly cognitively impaired.

I use Subler mostly as a metadata acquisition and injector tool, and secondarily as a M4V remux sanitiser. The subtitles function is more a subset of its stream management, and is much less relevant than its name implies. That said, it does do a very competent job at converting, through OCR, DVD and BluRay bitmap subtitles to ASCII variants required for MP4 containers.

I think it only works in macOS, which makes it difficult to understand its purpose when you don’t have that platform readily available. Ideally it would have a CLI/TUI which would lend it better to script integration.

1. Love the project name.
2. This looks close to what I’ve imagined coalescing my hand conjured ffmpeg scripts into.
3. I’d like to feed this into a pipeline that includes Subler or equivalent.

If it’s stable, it’s not a lab.

That’s infrastructure.

Don’t call it the Epstein Ballroom, it’s the Trump-Epstein Distraction Scrotum.

One of them hangs a little lower than the other.

Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich.

Advertising is one of the most prolific environmental pollutants of economic activity, and needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.
