@someone_else @dan Certain things just don't belong on the internet... If there's nothing I can do remotely that's useful, I don't want it on the internet. Dishwashers, washing machines, stuff like that, I can't see a use for putting stuff in that I want it to do LATER that a TIMER wouldn't do.
Oven is the rare use case of "preheat the oven on the way home" and "oh shoot, did I leave the oven on?"
Basically every other appliance I don't need it on the internet.
This is why those smart home tablets are becoming a thing. Too many things are locked behind an app/webpage, so now we need a dedicated button panel that stops working if the internet/AWS drops.
Trying to compress an image in a lossless format for upload, and the png keeps being just 6% too large. So I think: hey, WEBP has a lossless mode, and that thing has crazy small file sizes in comparison!
Make a webp that's >30% smaller aaaand...
The website has a 60% smaller size limit for webp.
(and yes, I tried pngcrush and 8-bit colors and palletizing, so I might just suffer with one page having compression artifacts)
Was trying to figure out how to back up a folder I have regularly to my NAS. Unfortunately, it's full of thousands of tiny files, so despite the whole thing only being ~15GB, it takes about 6 hours to transfer all the files.
SO: why not zip it up first? Save some space on the NAS and it'll transfer quicker over the network, zipping it only takes about 20 minutes, and that can be even faster if I use -update!
But no, powershell (which I use for the backup script) relies on an older API that can't zip files larger than 2GB. And there's a single DB file in there that accounts for 2.5GB.
So I'm just rewriting it to use winrar, which is nicely more verbose about what it's doing, compresses it in about 12 minutes, and then transfers to my NAS in another 2! (which is faster than writing the archive directly to the NAS, funnily enough)
@livingshredder I'm finding more and more songs have completely wrong lyrics posted everywhere, too. Like I'm thinking they're AI gen or something because like the words will sound phonetically correct, but be nonsensical.
Other times I think it's just a person being lazy, copy-pasting the lyrics for each chorus, even though the wording is similar but different.
And this is even on decently popular tracks. I've seen official karaoke tracks fall into this when you can much more clearly hear the correct lyrics playing.
