I must have been mistaken about the spreadsheet, but Joe Ressington (Alan’s cohost on 2.5Admins) came back with this:

Though it doesn’t target Serverparts it does give a good list to get part numbers. He suggested Seagates since you can check the SMART data on them and nobody has figured out how to spoof it yet on Seagate drives (supposedly).

Sorry about that.

I could swear I remember Alan Jude had built a spreadsheet specifically like this, that got all the current prices of drives from Serverparts and organized it exactly that way.

I’ll email him and see if I was just imagining that.

The Wireguard mode is very interesting. Thanks for that link.

It’s the specification process that’s the thing, nobody there would have gone out on a limb the way SpaceX has with their recovery systems. Look where they are on a shuttle replacement: the Apollo capsule with more room.

They say this is for enterprise and government, and they talk about “terminals”. This seems more like a Hughes network, and let me tell you, if it’s that bad, you want nothing to do with it.

NASA hasn’t take the slightest risk since Challenger. They wouldn’t have accomplished 1/20th of the launch capability SpaceX has developed in the last 5 years.

Someone had mentioned they contacted one of the majors and said his wife was on dialysis and a heart machine, could they give him instructions to disable the wifi on the TV and they did, with the caveat that it was a permanent thing. So you could try that with a regular smart TV if you can’t get these.

As far as I know, these have no smart functions. I believe the Walmart site carries them.

Yah, I’m not going to do that.

I replied to another person in this thread, but I’ve used voip.ms for well over a decade for a few different businesses and personal use, and they’ve always been responsive and responsible.

You can install Linphone from the Fdroid repository, and register it with your SIP provider as an extension. How you set it up as an extension will vary by the provider.

Try again, loads for me.

I’ve used them for well over a decade, I even sent the CEO an email when I had a CS rep telling me I couldn’t do something I knew I could. He sorted it out within the hour.

Well, why the hell didn’t you tell me? You owe me 10 minutes per episode back for the last year.

As far as I’ve seen, if someone has submitted the sponsor block report, this works perfectly. Of course it depends on someone getting to it, so a very lightly listened to YT channel might not have anything submitted for Pinchflat to use.

You go ahead and waste resources on summarizing the 200 emails a day in my spam account, you fucking morons.

I had found one that used Whisper to convert the podcast to text and then ran it through an AI to find the ad text, but I couldn’t get it to work. I had considered building something myself and was about halfway through that when I found this method. It does the job better than I think an AI would considering it’s crowdsourced for the ad identification.

Keep in mind that if it fetches an episode immediately after it’s posted, nobody will have had a chance to make Sponsorblock entries, hence my advice to have it re-fetch after a couple days. By then, someone should have made contributions that you can take advantage of.

Also, be sure you have the correct Sponsorblock content types selected in your “Podcast” Media Profile. You might have to play around with the options in there to make it produce exactly what you want from it.

If it looks sketchy I’ll look at it and not trust the binaries. I’m not going to catch anything subtle, but if it sets up a reverse shell, I can notice that shit.
