I'm late to the party, but Gitea as has Gitea Actions[0] based on their fork[1] of act[2]. Their claim is that it's mostly compatible with GitHub Actions. I wonder if this can be spun off to have the control plane run separately and integrate into GitHub Action. Or alternatively mirror the repo for Gitea Actions only.

You mean you don't summarize those terrible articles you happen to come across and you're a little intrigued, hoping that there's some substance, and then you read, and it just repeats the same thing over and over again with different wording? Anyway, I sometimes still give them the benefit of the doubt, and end up doing a summary. Often they get summarized into 1 or 2 sentences.

No, not really. I don't even know how to really respond to this but maybe

1. I don't read "terrible articles". I can skim an article and figure if something I'm interested in.

2. I actually do read terrible articles and I have terrible taste

3. Any "summarization" I do that isn't from my direct reading is evaluated by the discussion around it. Though nowadays that's more and more spotty.

Maybe I should start doing that but I usually just... don't read them.

I just tried running this on a 30 minute meeting with some 10 people in. It got to the end, then just bailed without transcribing. I also did not get any errors or anything.

Really sorry about that, longer running audio (~10m+) is something I'm working on along with handling multiple speakers.

I've been focused on getting functional parity across all OS's since the Android release. This is very close to being done and I just need to reach the milestone of it being available on all platforms before I move forward.

Hopefully you will take another look when the next update is out.

Are you piping the audio buffers straight to the transcriber as they come in? Or capturing the entire recording and then processing it at the end?

It'd be nice to keep the voice recording too, as I noticed at least one thing that it transcribed wrong.

This way one can listen to the recording again, and correct such issues.

Great idea and an option I'm looking at implementing soon with the ability to reprocess with a different model if needed. Cheers for taking a look.

By the way, how does this handle conversations between two or more people?

Currently, terribly. It is on the roadmap after I've released it on all platforms.

Not really. Ddg sells the right to show ads on a search with a given keyword. They don't send your query keywords to an advertiser or whatever.

You are not forced to buy their product, or to buy into their schedule.

You can only vote with your feet if you can step somewhere else. We are watching locations for your feet to go shrink in real time.

You don't need the streaming service though, you can just do without or find other methods of obtaining their content. It's not like food, electricity, or water where you may have no actual options or very limited options. Movies and shows are wants, not needs, and people can walk away and fill the time some other way.

Saying everyone should just quit streaming and go touch grass or read a book is not a productive recommendation. It's been tried for decades and fails because people really like TV and Movies. Given that, the discussion here needs to start from the assumption that people will continue to watch TV and movies and suffer meaningful quality of life impacts when they do not.

Once Netflix buys all of these companies, you won't ever be able to watch a WB movie without a $25 netflix sub per month. (and yeah, when they are done buying all the competition that's what the monthly will be.

> Once Netflix buys all of these companies, you won't ever be able to watch a WB movie without a $25 netflix sub per month. (and yeah, when they are done buying all the competition that's what the monthly will be.

That's kind of a silly argument. "People are better off paying $100+/month for 4+ streaming services than $25/month for one that has everything."

If your argument were that you'd have to pay more than the current combined cost, it'd be a better argument against mergers. Arguing against something because it's a better deal is just strange.

It's not that silly of an argument when you factor in Blu-Ray as the other side of "won't be able to watch a WB movie without". Right now the only Netflix "Exclusives" you can find on Blu-Ray are the ones they source from Sony, Warner Brothers, or Paramount. If they own Warner Brothers one of those Blu-Ray sources goes away.

Instead of a one-time Blu-Ray purchase for ~$25 for a movie to watch as many times as you'd like, it's an ongoing subscription for $25/month. If you only want to watch that one movie in two different calendar months, you've easily doubled your spend.

(Yes, it is still apples-to-oranges because you may watch more than one movie in a month, but the flipside is that the $25/month is a variable catalog fee. The movie you want to watch may be "vaulted" that second month you want to go watch it. With Blu-Ray you control your film catalog, with Netflix some finance team does.)

(Also, yes, easy to forget Blu-Ray in this debate because Blu-Ray is dying/dead, especially in physical retail with Target and Best Buy dropping its sections. You can also substitute a lot of the same arguments here with arguments for Movies Anywhere and/or iTunes Store.)

thats not how most people do streaming, they consume everything on netflix - when the content gets stale, they cancel, move to P+, consume for a few months, stale, d+, stale, A+, etc.... 1 at a time

That's what some people do, the average household (per polling) has 4+ video service subscriptions.

So essentially less than the cost of two tickets to see a movie in theaters today. The horror.

Subscriptions add up + you will see ads and have to pay for "premium" content.

It will be $50 soon enough if this goes through

A lot of the actions people tend to use are just unnecessary. They're simple wrappers around real tools. In those cases, use mise-en-place. It's a single action that installs all relevant tools (and keeps your local dev env in check), and it supports lock files.

This right here - I am migrating all of our GHA to use the mise action. Makes keeping the version of Go, linters, formatters etc. for the project so much easier. Haven't added the mise.lock yet, but on the list. Now getting my small team of devs to try using mise is much harder.

And if not mise, just a Makefile, shell scripts or custom docker images. Then you can run and develop them locally.

GitHub actions has some rough edges around caching, but all the packaging is totally unimportant and best avoided.

How serious is/was this whole $100k for H1-B applications? How has this impacted the hiring process?

The subsequent clarifications has significantly lessened the impact since it only applies to those who are the beneficiary of H-1B petitions filed with a request for consular notification rather than with a request to change or extend status. So it has impacted the ability to get H-1Bs for those outside the U.S. but that was always a small number.

Others have already given your answer, but heads up, LE is lowering the certificate lifetime to 45 days[0].

Cloud-init isn't about boot process, it's about initial provisioning of a system.

If you need the host's public keys registered somewhere, you can do that using cloud-init, but there's not built-in mechanism. You'd have to write your own script to do so.
