> aggressive, Heavy Riffs, Blast Beats, Satanic Black Metal

Result: A generic pop-rock song without riffs or blast beats. Not even power metal or corset core, let alone anything even slightly resembling Black Metal.

Yup. Still doing what I expect from AI music.


2.5 was the most impressive model I use, but I agree about the comments. And when refactoring some code it wrote before, it just adds more comments, it becomes like archaeological history (disclaimer: I don’t use it for work, but to see what it can do, so I try to intervene as little as possible, and get it to refactor what it thinks it should)

We use CSS paged media to create e-books and invoices (using weasyprint [0]). One of the most helpful resources for me was print-css.rocks [1], they cover a lot of what’s possible and include which tools support which parts of it (tools targeting paged media, browser support is essentially non-existent and outside using JS to fake it with paged.js, not relevant). The expensive tools tend to support more features, but thanks to some donations/sponsorships, weasyprint has really caught up and now supports a very large part of the spec.

I have no idea why you’d want to do that. Browsers are bad at it, dedicated tools are great at it.

Fair! I was just aspiring to a place where web pages and documents converge more.

Thanks for the recommendations!


I don’t mind Medium being monetized, but I have the domain downranked, because posting on medium is a very strong signal that the content is worthless.

We had a (much smaller) regional (Lübeck and Ostholstein) power outage here in Northern Germany in I think 2018 or 19. No mobile internet until everything was restored ~6 hours later, and most of the time no other cell service either.

Fwiw, https://facebook.com/?sk=h_chr still/again works. Recently rediscovered it, and essentially got my old fb experience back. Add a normal adblock, and manually block reels, and you'll only see what friends and followed pages (90% musicians for me) post.

Interestingly, it's just kinda hiding the normal AI issues, but they are all still there. I think people know about those "normal" looking pictures, but your example has many AI issues, especially with hands and background


Not OP, but I use a PI with attached SSD as a backup server, and then save that stuff to Backblaze B2 as additional cloud backup.


> I have no idea on when artists I like release new albums and would not encounter them on a self hosted solution, etc.

Depending on what you like, bandcamp makes it easy. You can follow any artist (which is also offered whenever you buy), and from then on get release notifications. But of course, what’s available differs by genre. For metal, most bands are on BC, except most Japanese artists and major label stuff.

I buy, download, and put the flacs on my Jellyfin server.

There are, of course, also piracy solutions for that, pretty sure the *arr stuff has automatic downloading per artist.


Dunno, my N100 with 1 SSD and 1 nVME (which hosts over 15 services including jellyfin) is probably not really relevant compared to my desktop PC. ~10W vs 180-350W depending on what I’m doing.
