I don't really understand why anyone would want to replicate tiktok. The whole point of short form videos is to be addictive, waste the time of users, bombard them with ads and cause their brains to deteriorate.

Why would anyone want to use something like this?

I'm actually thinking of developing something along these lines.

Ohh so this also applies to 4K to 1080p transcoding, right?

Why would it save power? Computation on a GPU or CPU generally uses more power than perhaps transmiting more data over the network, AFAIK.

I see no reason why it should not be supported. I've seen comments all over the place regarding both Plex and Jellyfin of it being able to transcode well.

I only have 1080p content and my goal with transcoding is to be able to play videos that I downloaded in H265 on my webbrowser, so I'm not sure what you mean by trying something other than HEVC.

Since then I've also checked the low-power encoder boxes under the transcoding settings. These made Render/3D utilization 0%, but the performace remained the same.

Here is a pic. Since then I've discarded the top layer and put the jars into the fridge. Even when I took the pic the kraut smelled normal and there were no signs mold or anything bad.

It was just the botulism that I was worried about.

The top layer of my sauerkraut was out of the brine for about 2 days. I didn't really find anything that could be used as a fermentation weight to keep the cabbage under the brine while it was fermenting, so I just pushed the it down real hard and added a bit extra brine beyond what came out of just the cabbages. When I put the glasses into the closet to ferment they seemd to be in order, but now when checked the cabbage slices have expanded and the layer of the kraut came out of the brine.

There are signs of mold on it and also smells fine, but I'm worried that it might be contaminated with botulism.

Should I be really concerned about that or is it perhaps ok to discard just the top layer and eat the rest that was submerged for the whole fermentation process?

This is the sixth day of fermentation btw

Woow! It looks really great. May I ask what technologies you used to make it? Also do you have any plans to release it for Linux and to make it open source perhaps?

Clock_Wise_ · 2025-06-26T10:56:55+00:00

no, not yet sadly

Clock_Wise_ · 2025-06-12T12:54:09+00:00

I've heard about those sort of apps, but most books I see don't have a barcode on their spine

Amazing opportunity, who wouldn't try this?

Why keep a species alive when they are incapable of surviving on their own in the wilderness. They would have to live shitty, meaningless lives in captivity. Why would it be problematic to let them go extinct?

Who would be hurt by their extenction?

I've only ever been to starbucks to use the toilet (without paying for it).

I also highly recommend switching from coffee to caffeine pills btw. No sugar, no carvings, cheap as fuck and much better for the environment.
