  • I think the sea connection is not the sand, but the fact that it is not drinkable. So he’s here, standing in a literal sea of water he shouldn’t drink, measuring out and sorting the pure filtered water he should drink. And why the careless attitude you may ask? Because it allows a bit of seawater in and it doesn’t kill you too have a bit of the profane world in your filtered experience. Temperantia in temperantia.



  • Kind of a tangent : this depends a lot on your use case but I’ve found that transcoding with GPU is not necessarily a good thing. You generally get larger files, and it’s not always faster than CPU. That is because ffmpeg can distribute the load among all your CPU cores. If you’ve got enough of those you’ll get better multipliers than on an old GPU.








  • I think it’s important to step back. Go to reddit, read some of what is posted, some of what is commented. There is an insane amount of anti-regime content because the vast majority of the user base there is against the current administration. Hell, i still comment there and most of what i say would be bannable if something as innocuous as 2A preparedness was ban-worthy.

    So we have two competing hypotheses.

    1. Either you get insta-banned for the political content of your message, although it is the most prevalent and uncontroversial on this specific platform, and none of the other accounts posting similar things get banned.
    2. Or you get insta-banned for ban evasion, the most serious offense in the reddit criminal code. Some trivial op-sec lapse, IP flagged, browser fingerprinted, whatever recognizable pattern and the ban hammer strikes hard.

    I know you’ve seen a pattern and it will be hard for you to unsee it, but think of Okam’s razor for a second.
