   This looks really cool. Just minor bug; on /auth/signup the zebra background pattern is not on the entire page on my vertical display (1080x1920). You might want to fix this before release.

   This is just highlevel trolling. Pretty obvious to me. That kind of humor emerged from 4chan and co and are a fundamental part of the internet gossip. I find it somhow very amusing.

   I think the biggest revelation is that he says he's the most famous of his generation, not "one of the most famous". That says a lot about his personality. Has anyone ever asked him if he's a narcissist?

   I use a telgram bot (controlled by node-red) that sends the URLs to a script [1] that uses a FIFO to download them one by one via yt-dlp. If the sender ID is from my mum, only the audio track is saved and made available to her via jellyfin.

    > People will watch lower quality video with good sound for far longer than they will watch good video with bad sound. Very true. I can stand bad/pixelated videos but crackling/distorted/unnormalized audio drives me crazy.

    I do the same with my washer. I monitor the power usage, save it in a variable and run a trigger when it drops from a certain amount below another. Super simple, works good.

    Well they kinda did. The early rails was rarely well documented. You had to buy books (developed by the rails team) to get everything together. At least I felt this way when I dived into rails pre 1.0.
