"For years, the conversation about online moderation has been about pressing major social-media companies to take responsibility for what happens on their platforms. But now that these companies are finally doing so, reactionary alternative platforms...are popping up like mushrooms." https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/12/reddit-ovarit-the-donald/617320/

I'm learning about audio DSP for a side project and discovering all sorts of cool match tricks. https://urs.silvrback.com/zero-delay-feedback

I think I solved a big Linux issue that's bugged my laptop for years. Every time I do a GPU-intensive task, my computer eventually overheated and shut off. Turns out I was getting a bunch of constant zero data from part of my lm_sensors output, throwing off the entire average temperature substantially (outlier 0's will do that). So far, so good. Let's hope my computer can keep up!

I think it might be a fun side project to build a simple front-end/host, but no need to reinvent the wheel if my exact use case already has a solution. A lot of what I have found so far seems designed for managing a personal library (i.e. to stream on your speaker or TV), rather than creators hosting their own works for public consumption.

This album is being slept on, but it's really good! Recommended if you like old-timey / country R&B music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tlvcTIUTyc

Now a good time to re-read La Peste?
