aha, it's videos I uploaded to youtube, fair enough
ahh, did a full Google Takeout, and they seem to have 53.4 GB on me. curious what that's gonna be - my google storage usage is 11.2GB (which afaik includes Google Photos and Gmail)
that bottom BD-RE one should be in redumper's device compatibility map by the way (hopefully, I haven't checked if it's an exact match)
god LLM slop is even worse when looking up simple electrical engineering questions (what was the name of that default diode again)
love people who don't bother to clear the snow off their headlights
@Erpel Yeah - but seeing photos that haven't been post-processed to hell and back by smartphone software (or a good Lightroom session) does feel nostalgic The photo of the tight ski slope in the woods makes a lovely wallpaper
@Erpel I love this! Gives a bit of a times-gone-by vibe, but in a very high resolution
@kopper and Discord has been boiling the enshittification frog incredibly well for the past years, I do not expect that to change
@kopper Matrix federation is cool and works quite well nowadays. Signal end to end encryption is very important for 1-on-1 messaging, and small group chats. IRC is neat for its simplicity. They're all really cool platforms in their own ways. but discord Just Works
@kopper yeah discord has a killer feature: it freaking works well enough for just about anyone
@algernon the fee for using government services is in spoons
woo, the snow has arrived in twente
@jwildeboer And before you ask: yes, metal spikes on bicycle tires are legal in Germany and in most other countries. makes sense I guess, since there's not a 1.5 ton machine on top of them
@KarlHeinzHasliP @0xabad1dea wouldn't say it snows every year (anymore); where I live this is the first time it's properly snowed in years
gotta love winter when the brake pedal becomes the bRRrrrRRrrRrrrrRrr pedal (while you're along for the ride)
@louis Kubernetes can do anything from five nines to automatically shooting yourself in the foot
