Fellow Beekeepers: It's been 20 years since we played I Love Bees.
I built a small tribute site & will re-release the original audio & some extras as a podcast. I'd love to hear from you!
Is there a free or low-cost service where I can put a bunch (500+) of text files online with a basic search UI?
It's for a hobby, and I don't have the capacity to run my own anything for it.
Pondering machine learning / AI's impact on digital accessibility.
Auto-captions on my phone are already better than the live closed captioning on local news.
When will AI-generated image captions hit parity w/alt text?
When will algorithms describe page structure well enough that H tag nesting isn't important anymore?
What impact does this all have on the future of WCAG standards & compliance?
Do you know anyone who's thinking/writing/doing in this area?
There's some limitations - notably I can't watch anything while not on my wifi network, and I'm not sure it works at all if our ISP goes out. But it's so much simpler than other options. The hardest part is just moving an antenna around to check reception.

Now I just need to run a coax cable so the Tablo hardware itself doesn't have to live in the attic.
We cut YouTube TV a few months back after it hit ~$75/month. Had been missing live TV, especially as we head into Super Bowl & Awards seasons.
Tablo should fill that gap nicely, for a one-time investment of ~$150 including antenna and coax cabling.

I've run a Plex server for years, and tried to integrate a HDHomerun tuner with it a while back. It's so fiddly and I have limited free time and I gave up.
Tablo seems to just work. We get every major local network except ABC clearly, and then unexpectedly get the ABC station from way off in Greensboro.

My Black Friday gamble this year was a Tablo TV tuner & DVR. It pulls stuff in via antenna, then shoots it over your wifi to any device with the Tablo app. I had to buy a bigger antenna to put in the attic (we live at the bottom of a forested hill), but man this thing is cool.
