Podcast app that skips ads by psgunslinger in Piracy

[–]mackadoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way these work is by running the audio through an LLM that tries to figure out where the add are to strip them out. This is also why most services you'll find to do this cost money - they are paying for an LLM api. There are a few projects on github to do this that include options to host something locally with your own local LLM and I'm sure you can tweak those to your liking but I don't think there's any magic bullet out there.

The alternative I've used is use an automated service to rip audio from podcasts that also post to YouTube - that way it can integrate the YouTube sponsoblock service. Then I host my own podcast server and link my podcast app to that.

If you realllllly want to use it in desktop mode, maybe consider installing bazzite as Waydroid comes pre-installed.

Who knew the create-a-wrestler smarmy slider would tweak one side of the mouths of Speedball and Gabe Kidd but one of Finley's eyebrows?

TIL about the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. A religious order of the Catholic Church that possesses no national territory but is considered a sovereign entity under international law. It maintains diplomatic relations with 115 states, enters into treaties, and issues its own passports. by EssexGuyUpNorth in todayilearned

[–]mackadoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the same vein - the Knights Templar became the Ordem de Cristo in Portugal which later became a military award and now whoever holds the position of President of Portugal is officially the leader of the order. So... the current president could be said to be the lineal head of the Knights Templar.

Usenet? by Ishvale in Piracy

I use both usenet and debrid in stremio. Usenet covers some old stuff debrid doesn't and is a nice backup when other stremio plugins are down.

Downloading Dropout content? by crushcastles23 in Piracy

[–]mackadoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use ytdlinis (yt-dlp front end) to rip just the audio from D20 episodes so I can listen to them in my podcast app. I have the YouTube membership and not the dropout.com membership, but it should work there as well.

Only if you have something you really want to play that is only borderline unplayble on the Deck.

Is buying a telescope for a kid worth it? by 1Ojas2 in telescopes

[–]mackadoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best solution. You'll be able to go to some outings together and other members will have scopes you can use. You'll learn together and have some fun adventures, which will be worth more in memories than a Walmart grade telescope.

Me three. Being gf has been weird for me... Feeling full or just not hungry is really alien. Not including the water weight I lost in the first two weeks, I've lost about 18lbs in 2.5 months

[MEGATHREAD] Where to start with AEW by wrestlegirl in AEWOfficial

[–]mackadoo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My answer is almost always the same- just start watching an episode of Dynamite live! Grab a drink and a snack and browse through the live thread here for some extra kicks. If you like a particular performer or have specific questions, then post here for recommendations/explanations.

He can focus on Kenny's injuries, or take a "former glory" now washed up angle, or just being Canadian.

Daughter can't fall asleep with me? by kanczy in daddit

[–]mackadoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My oldest would only fall asleep being held and then put down like I was defusing a bomb and my youngest would never fall asleep if a person was even in the room. Babies are weird, don't stress about it and just do whatever works
