Finally wrote a small Python script/CLI tool to help myself sort the image sequences I want to upload to Panoramax, so that it's easier to quickly clean them.
It's mainly for my own workflow, but in case it's useful for other contributors, I've pushed it out to Codeberg and PyPI too.

Actually you can feed an AI non-garbage and still get garbage out.

@frank Je zou in plaats van Plex ook kunnen kiezen voor Jellyfin. Min of meer hetzelfde, maar open source en helemaal los van de cloud.
As the U.S weighs potentially banning TP-Link routers from sale on national security grounds over its alleged links to China, I blogged about the U.S. government's weak-ass argument and why a ban won't save the U.S. from years of its own terrible cybersecurity practices.
@zackwhittaker I have checked my TP-Link Wi-Fi 6E router and found that it only checks for updates after logging in to the configuration webpage.
Mind you, I can't figure out how or when claude contributed. But I did find a few PRs reviewed by CoPilot. That's enough of an indicator that I want nothing to do with htmx if I can help it.
Now, I will use crates and tools and whatnot that I'd prefer not to, if I have no other option.
Like, serde doesn't have an alternative. Yes, there's facet, with GenAI taint. Hurray.
But if I do have a choice, I will never chose the GenAI infested option.
Despite being okay with LLMs for coding, I find "AI voice" in English writing incredibly grating. I understand that not everyone is a native English speaker, and for them it's a godsend, but it just makes me wonder if the writer is an actual human or not.
Personally I won't let LLMs near my blog posts, not even for ideating the title or whatever. If anything, I was already tired of how dry and milquetoast my voice was sounding before LLMs came around. Let's keep the web weird.
@nolan I think it comes down to what one is seeking. If it’s human authenticity of expression—warts, idiosyncrasies, and all—then “AI voice” is understandably grating. If it’s a particular style or surface fluency, the calculus shifts.
Take academia. Much of it is unmistakably human and yet manages to mangle the English language with heroic consistency. Human all too human.
Ultimately, it comes down to whether we’re judging authenticity, or just reacting to a register we don’t enjoy.
Move your body, however you're able.
Let me be explicit. Here at the end of 2025, if you hear anyone say replacing fossil fuels with renewables is going to be expensive, they're either misinformed, uninformed, or lying to you.
Even leaving out the massive economic costs of #climate changes caused by burning fossil fuels, #renewableenergy is cheaper now.

White killer rabbits were confined to the british Caerbannog area.
Wait... What?
White killer rabbits were introduced down under to get rid of unyips and droppin' bears.
Darn.
Weyland-Yutani may have the solution.

Since htmx was mentioned a few times...

Note que je trouve l'approche fortement communautariste de Blacksky problématique, et manifestement incompatible avec notre République. Mais on dirait qu'aux USA ça a du sens pour eux.

My completed book list for 2025. My favorite was a tie between the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and Why Fish Don't Exist by Lulu Miller
@scottjenson do you keep the list as you go, or is it some app producing the stats for you?
@defcon201 @Cyberbirdy @dex77 my image sources are mostly ripped from library and museum scans of ~100 year old magazines, as well museum photos of oil paintings, etc. I assure you, they are not AI.
