New comment by nonoesp in "How I archived 10 years of memories using Spotify"

nonoesp — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 15:35:22 +0000

I create a playlist for each month (e.g., 2026.01) inside of a folder of the corresponding year (e.g., 2026) and add new tracks there (instead of using Spotify likes). This allows me to jump back to a specific year/month. You can also hit play on the folder to play all songs from a specific year.

I used to have a single Inbox playlist to save music and keep the date when I saved each song.

Sharing a short post I posted a year ago with some thoughts on password managers.

## The password-management promise

> I don't buy the promise behind 1Password or LastPass.

> You only need to remember one password. The last password you'd need to remember.

> They don't tell you that you're also building a one-stop shop for hackers to steal it all at once.

> The solution?

> Store hints, not passwords.

> Don't reuse passwords. Use algorithmic passwords instead.

> Use passkeys and security keys.

I've always preferred 1Password and Bitwarden to LastPass.

I still prefer to encrypt sensitive data and "secure notes" with custom workflows (GPG keys, for instance) instead of relying on third parties, and even more when the data would be store in the cloud, in a centralized location.

I can't imagine the nightmare of having all your secrets exposed, not just for the risk of it but for having to reset all your exposed accounts.

(+1 to GPG encryption.)

The only thing WordPress and Laravel have in common is that both are written in PHP.

But if you've used Laravel, you know it's pleasant to write apps with it.

pico.sh is a content management system (CMS) for hackers.

That's what I infer from the site, but it would be helpful if they added a one-liner to the home page and repo.

New comment by nonoesp in "OpenAI says it can clone a voice from just 15 seconds of audio"

nonoesp — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 12:09:33 +0000

Descript acquired Lyrebird years ago and already have a product that can synthesize your voice.

They require training data longer than 15 seconds, which could lead the out out to resemble more the actual voice.

I've seen weird behaviors where the AI voice forces a British accent to pronounce certain words which I don't have.

Descript also uses voice synthesis to regenerate edited portions of conversations with a noticeable cut to smoothen the transition, which is pretty useful.

> When the product officially rolls out there will be a “no-go voice list” that detects and prevents AI-generated speakers that are too similar to prominent figures.

Should they then let anyone register their "voice id" to prevent others frok generating similar voices?

What if your voice happens to resemble the voice of a "prominent figure?"

There are different "problems" as you're saying that could tackle your needs.

- Gesture recognition to detect different hand gestures

- Skeleton detection to infer people's positions and whether they have a raised hand

- Object detection (e.g., YOLO) to detect hands

I believe in this case you could go for skeleton detection as you get information from which you could infer raised hands.

New comment by nonoesp in "How a Solar Revolution in Farming Is Depleting Groundwater"

nonoesp — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 09:15:50 +0000

> In theory, switching from diesel or electricity to PV pumping should eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. But in practice, farmers often use their solar pumps to supplement existing pumps, rather than replacing them. And, however it is pumped, the extra water available will also encourage farmers to adopt more intensive farming methods, using more fertilizer and machinery to grow thirstier cash crops, increasing the carbon footprint of the farm.

nonoesp — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 22:17:18 +0000

I've been streaming and recording locally with OBS in 2K (1440p) with an M3 Max MacBook Pro and it works like a charm—with a Sony ZV-E10 being capture by Elgato HD60X.

I can even develop and run Apple MLX code while I'm streaming. (I lose a few frames when generating images with Stable Diffusion or load big LLMs like Gemma 7B.)

My MacBook Pro M1 wasn't there for streaming and recording at the same time. But even an M1 Max could do the job as well.
