There are at least three legal ways to do this. CB radio, ISM frequencies and amateur radio. I say legal because the radio spectrum is heavily regulated because every transmitter affects everyone else to more or lesser extent.

You can buy CB or ISM band radios and get started.

Amateur radio is a better option in my opinion. There are many more frequencies to experiment with, people who can help and people to talk to.

Amateur licensing is different in each country, but an introductory licence is often no more than a weekend course and exam. I know of nine year olds who have done this. It’s not hard. No Morse code required either.

With such a licence in hand you can use things like JS8Call, CODEC2, Olivia, WSPR and hundreds of other protocols to communicate using just a radio and a computer.

Disclaimer: I’m a licensed amateur in Australia and have been since 2010. I hold an introductory licence, here it’s called a Foundation licence, and have been having an absolute blast with all that I can do.

If you have specific questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

I read that you’re manually tagging them, so your process can be whatever you want to do.

For example, you can leave the images in their current folder structure and create a separate folder structure with symbolic links to an image, so in the character folder would be symbolic links to all the images like that. They also don’t have to be unique, an image can be in multiple categories.

Alternatively you can use a spreadsheet and generate lists there.

Finally there are plenty of photo album applications that allow you to tag images.

Gender reassignment surgery?

Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and after a rot13 transformation.

Python on the other hand is the only language that will cause your application to stop working because you mixed up tabs and spaces, even though it looks perfectly fine on your scr.

And lisp is hard to say if you have one.

We’ve been using an Apple TV. From memory, there’s a Jellyfin client.

As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?

I’m asking because over the time I’ve been here, I’ve noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.

I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it’s two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.

I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.

Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.

For the purpose of?

Venting? Warning? Praise?

Something else?

Reddit support to the rescue…

Bruce Perens is currently working on a new licensing model called Post Open requiring that business with sufficient revenue to pay up.

In my opinion it’s criminal just how often this happens. Big business making obscene profit off the back of volunteer work like yours and many others across the OSS community.

Is it just me who is sceptical about anything new from Intel at the moment?

Mind you, this is not the first time that this feeling has existed, there was a standing joke amongst IT professionals in the mid 1990s that the sticker “Intel Inside” was actually a warning label, referencing the Pentium FDIV bug.

Multiple camera angles are used for two reasons:

1. Added visual interest. People tend to want variety and colour and movement offered by different views can provide that. This is the obvious reason it’s being used.
2. Ability to edit without it being obvious. Often a presenter will require multiple takes to “get it right”. If you edit in the take, the picture “jumps” because humans move around. If you have multiple cameras you can edit and switch cameras without it looking like an edit. If you then also look at a different camera when you make a mistake, you can keep recording and fix it when you edit it together.

All I’ll say is that I’m glad that I’m neither your child, nor a member of your software development team…
