Let me just say the performance is absolutely incredible, and the persistence is so transparent. I actually was given access to an in-browser video editor that chokes pretty quickly so I'm impressed. The tracks didn't seem to work well for me. I'm on Firefox on Windows and couldn't drag and drop tracks to change the order, there doesn't seem to be any layer transformation tools (position, rotation, scale) that I could find to counteract it not handling footage of different aspect ratios (I.E. portrait and landscape).

Thank you for the encouragement. Regarding the track manipulation I have not fully cracked it yet so you can't move clips between tracks yet and track reordering didn't cross my mind but will look into it. Regarding transforms once you manage to get a clip in the track you should be able to click on it and then get on the right hand side of the program monitor you should see a transforms panel with a limited selection of options, at least what I could sort of understand how to program together with LLMs ofc ahahaha.

I wonder if since IR is invisible you could theoretically, in an intellectual exercise, blast IR light in a room and mass change them surreptitiously if that was your goal.

From the upstream project:

> Can I change the display of all ESLs in a store at once ?

No. For two reasons:

Unlike radio waves, optical communication must be line-of-sight. Even from wall and ceiling reflections, an unique transmitter has no chance of reaching all of the hundreds or thousands of ESLs in a store.

Each ESL has an unique address which must be specified in update commands. There's no known way to broadcast display updates.


> You can only use one library card at a time with OverDrive, and don't have access to the audioboks or periodicals on Libby.

I personally was fine with the limitations, after all I'm only one person and I would only ever read books on my ereader.


You can't even get all books either.

I've got multiple library cards so it is a non-starter.

Here's the thing, you absolutely can do this in exactly the same way: Make the background transparent and draw within the bounds. You can argue about whether or not you should, but that is the argument. There's no technical limitation.

> (single point of failure to... another single point of failure)

I feel like you missed what the author meant with that phrase. The author wasn't talking about for their website, but the internet as a whole.

> I can’t help but feel that the idea of centralizing the internet into a single US corporation feels off.

The point of picking Bunny.net is that it's alternative to this single entity that's got so much of the internet running through it, and is less susceptible to the BS in the US.


All files can be measured in bytes. :)


You, sir or ma'am, are a first class smarty pants.


> What's the difference between using the Tor and Ceno browsers?

> Unlike Tor Browser, Ceno Browser is not a tool for anonymity, which is Tor's primary purpose. In the Tor network, network traffic is encrypted and routed through a network of relays run by volunteers, and appears to originate from the IP address of an exit node. Tor is an excellent option for privacy from Internet surveillance and website operators. If it works in your network environment, we recommend it, provided that you've also read their support documentation.

> Ceno's primary distinction from a VPN is that it does attempt to route all of your website requests through the decentralized network. When a website is available without restriction, Ceno will simply connect to it like a normal web browser. Also, Ceno users cache and share content with each other. This reduces the strain on censorship circumvention nodes and improves deliverability.

Good way to get in trouble for cp

It isn't a good way. You are fearmongering.


> It isn't a good way. You are fearmongering.

I think the user raises valid concerns that should be discussed.

Freenet (~2000) did something similar. They distributed and cached content across all participating nodes. Users were storing encrypted fragments of other's data. It was notorious for distributing illegal content.

I recall that at the time, users were concerned about illegal content winding up on their computers - even if they weren't directly - knowingly - downloading those resources.

As I looked a little deeper just now, I'm discovering that courts have generally been lenient on unknowing participants - that intent and knowledge do matter. It's still a legal grey area (from some basic research I just did - maybe someone else can add to this).

I would still be concerned about a corrupt agency (in some fascist environment) pressing charges or insinuating illegal activity regardless of intent.


It's interesting how effectively CP laws killed anonymity and free speech tools. All it takes is one bad actor (and a compliant media apparatus that will parrot "known for hosting CP" on command).


The most common mistake I see (on this website at least) is the assumption that one's programming competence is equal to their competence in other things.


Not the person you were responding to but I work at a TV station here in the US. What kind of shows do you like? My husband and I are getting into "The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins" if you want a new show. If new episodes of a long running show is fine, I still relax to Jeopardy when I can. If you don't stream anything, you can usually still find golf on the weekends which we use for our cats. :)
