I'm a happy consumer, too, but I would say speed is not Photoprism's strength.


On a fresh install of Ubuntu 23.10, I made it executable (`chmod +x llamafile`) and it worked just like that. After installing `nvidia-cuda-toolkit` it also worked with my GPU. So far the most seamless method I've tried.


Seconded. Outer Wilds was absolutely wonderful. The gameplay is lacking in places but after watching the making of documentary [1] my mind is still kind of blown by the technical side, even if it didn't transfer 100% smoothly to the player's experience.

This video has given me even more appreciation for the game. The exploration in their design process, yet still achieving very intentional design for guiding player motivation. Incredible.


Have you tried Disco Elysium?


Waiting for the switch version! I have a strange feeling I won’t like it though. All the dialogue I’ve seen is too self-consciously ‘wacky’. Although I don’t know to what extent that’s influenced by the fact that I see it via youtubers playing it and they’re picking the stupid options.


You need: 1. Usenet provider (this allows you to download the links) and Usenet indexer (this allows you to search for content you want because files like movies usually have obfuscated filenames). Example of the former is Frugal Usenet, example of the latter is Drunken Slug (free-ish) or DogNZB (paid). One of the many things you need to watch out for with providers is retention, the length of time they keep the files so you can download them. In general, the older content you find on the indexer, the less likely it's still going to be available. The downloading itself can be done in an automated way (for example with Sonarr and the like) or kind-of manual with tools like SABnzbd.


Thanks a lot!


Your link has a ">" at the end which makes it not work.


Ugh, I keep forgetting that HN's URL delimiter handling is completely broken.... Unfortunately I can't edit my comment at this point, but the link should have been https://19thlevel.blogspot.com/2012/08/jules-verne-translati...


It's not really what you asked for, but subtitles that you download from websites like zimuku.com or zimuku.cn have dual language versions: separate English and Chinese flag means the ZIP file contains separate language subs, pirate flag means it has one set of subtitles containing both languages - super useful if your video player doesn't support displaying more than one set or you don't want subs at the top of the screen).


Installing it via "flatpak install foliate" didn't work? Downloading the .flatpakref seems like an unnecessary step to me but I'm on a different distro (openSUSE Tumbleweed).

edit: I can also open files from anywhere on my PC. Could it be that the flatpak on Debian Stretch is not correctly configured?


I'm pretty sure your edit nails it: flatpak on my moldy Debian doesn't work correctly as a non-root user, and the alternative of running it as root and then running the application as a normal user was neither intended nor foreseen.

I did finally install Debian testing, and it looks like the flatpak problems are resolved, but I decided not to bother installing foliate because of the nearly 700MB of dependencies it wanted over my rural satellite connection. C'est la vie.


I went ahead and burned the data: for Science! After the dependencies were all downloaded, it works correctly and completely. It's a fairly nice ebook reader application, and it only took three days and replacing my operating system to get it.


It's a personal decision with far-reaching societal impact [0]. Even types of addiction that are not obviously health-destroying can, in fact, be killing you and thus imposing indirect burden on society [1].

This is not correct. Roger McNamee, who was Zuckerberg's mentor and also helped recruit Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg, said they simply do not want to do it. He tried to push them in that direction but was met with resistance.
