  • The name "Femerator" is especially funny after you read "I Will Break You" by Gigi Styx. One of the primary trigger warnings of the book is "inappropriate use of a thigh bone".

  • If I had a time machine I would go back in time and give all my friends their mental health diagnosis before they had to live through the really tough parts.

  • Why are you trying to draw a false equivalence between your scenario, and mine? They're vastly different in outcome and justifiability, so why are you trying to strongarm one into the other?

  • People should have a right to protest - even if they're dumbasses protesting for idiotic things. Devaluing a life just because the person behind it is a dumbass is very much a Nazi tactic. You don't dehumanise stupid. You help it realise and reconcile it's stupidity.

  • Acting in the moment to save someone, providing them support, is very, very different to going back in time to undo things that have already happened.

    First of all, you already know that the person in question survives the trauma you're trying to undo. It's already part of their personality. Changing the past in this case doesn't save their lives but potentially changes their personality in a major way.

  • They might stay your friends, but would they be the same people? I think that's the important angle.

    Our struggles define us. For example, for me, did it suck to be fuck-ass poor throughout university, often surviving on rice only for weeks, depending on friends? Sure. Would I trade it for a comfortable study life? Hell no. That struggle helped me grow, as much as it sucked.

    As an external observer, sure, seeing your friends scarred sucks, but who gave you the right to remove that trauma, and change who they are?

  • I'm a bit split on this.

    On one hand you'd think you're doing something good, helping a friend.

    On the other hand, so consider that everyone you know at this moment, is like that because of what they've gone through. All that trauma, hardship, everything that happens to you from birth, forms your personality. Take that away from them, and at best you just weaken the person, at worst, you completely change their personality. You can't know what past experience makes one stronger.

    This is actually largely why the uber wealthy don't seem to have a grasp at the everyday people's struggle. They're so far detached from it because they never really experienced it.

    Also do consider that while today we might have various sympathetic treatments for a number of mental issues, even just 20-30 years ago a lot of the treatments would mean being drugged out of your mind 24/7 to ensure you're not a source of harm for others or yourself...

  • In arr stack how to pick indexers?

    Jump

  • I wish Prowlarr supported having a pool of generic indexers that are regularly speed tested and only the top X are used for actual queries (one random query an hour to check response time shouldn't hurt, and external searches can also provide for this statistic), either based on count/percentage or maximum response time.

    That would alleviate the long queries on a very dynamic approach.

    Jump

  • The "prediction market" is different because it's for the already wealthy to make more money based on insider information. It's not for you and me to put in $50 and walk away with $100 if we're lucky, but for someone who already knows what's about to happen to put in 500k, walk away with a million and then claim they made their wealth legitimately...

  • Bay leaves are technically not that edible. You can't really digest them, they're pretty tough even after hours of cooking, and are mainly used for their intensive flavour...

    So, no, it's actually neither edible nor healthy.

  • As for which project to use... The issue with book management is that it's exponentially more complex than other media due to the number of dimensions a book can be on.

    Author metadata alone can be problematic - some books are published under different names in different countries, some books are co-authored but published under all variations of the possible combinations (author 1 or author 2 or both, and that's if there's only two authors).

    Language as a dimension usually means the same book is actually a different variant. This also applies for series info.

    Then there's the issue of metadata quality. Unlike with TV shows and movies, where either IMDb or TheTVDb etc. can be used because generally all of these potential sources are good quality... books don't really have a central database, because unlike with the aforementioned, language as a dimension does affect the release, and can't be easily treated as the same entity as different language publications will have different IDs... So if you have a database of US books, that won't apply to anywhere else in the world. Of course GoodReads and HardCover are trying to fix this but you're still running into issues like API usage limits etc.

    Overall, making a book download and management system akin to the rest of the Arr Suite is a major, major undertaking that requires major discussions not just within the project but also spanning external services to come to an agreement on which approach is best.

  • I actually have different problems with Chaptarr aside from it being vibe coded.

    Generally, I don't have an issue with vibe coding - as long as it's not the average person's Star Trek level depiction of asking the computer an overly simplified request which it then successfully extrapolates into a fully working solution. AI aided development isn't an issue really as long as the developer knows what they want to achieve and HOW to do it, and utilising AI to do the heavy lifting.

    No, my problem with Chaptarr is the general approach of the maintainer. It's a fork of Readarr (clearly visible from the logs), which was licenced under GPLv3, which in turn requires any forks (derivatives) to publish source code. Now, RLH has been providing Docker images only, claiming "the code is too messy to publish" whenever asked, meaning there's absolutely no oversight as to what is actually happening inside, what's been modified and so on.

    Furthermore he modified the metadata server format, without publishing it, then created two separate APIs for it, which you have to manually edit after install (and this is hidden in the FAQs on Discord), that metadata server is incredibly limited (because it's supposed to be for "testing only"), and there's no option to use your own either, as the API contract has changed.

    RLH is also pretty opaque about updates, sometimes you get a flurry of updates within a few hours, sometimes you're sitting around for weeks without any changes being pushed. He's also been pretty shady, randomly making the DockerHub images available to anyone then restricting it, and I've also heard about random bans of people on Discord who dared to question him (although this is only hearsay, I have not witnessed any bans myself, so take this with a pinch of salt).

    Overall the whole project is super shady and even if I presume the best intentions, the continued GPL licence violation with various quality issue excuses alone is enough for me to stay far away from it - even if I appreciate some of the QoL changes I've seen when I trialled it.
