Does anyone know how much more accurate this is than other interferometer gyroscopes like fiber-optics?

For Jellyfin? You really don’t need much. A raspberry pi can run jellyfin if you don’t have a transcoded format. My main server is only using a 6th gen i3, and Jellyfin runs perfectly for everything. Never tried going above 1080p though.

Another glorious day of not having to worry about my nice and stable Debian server. It runs on an old Dell thin client I got on ebay, which isn’t much, but it gets the job done.

Could spider silk be the solution to this?

Super lightweight and very strong. Plus it’s springy, so that can even out any sharp tugs on the line.

I assume you meant to say they’re not above the equator, which I didn’t actually know until now.

We can find the new length by simply multiplying the equator total by cos(latitude), since circumference is linear to radius.

For subtropical jet streams, latitude is around +/-30 degrees, so our adjusted price comes out to around $950k.

For polar jet streams, the latitude is around +/-60 degrees, bringing the price to $555k.

Extra note: The jet streams can reach speeds of >100mph, so I don’t think our poor little toothpick and plastic film kites will survive!

This also assumes the time you spend making 100k kites is worth nothing to you. Say you can make 20 kites in an hour (1 every 3 minutes), and you work for 15 hours every day. It will take you 333 days to finish that on your own.

Doing some quick math here:

Circumference of the Earth is about 24k mi = 44M yds.

The cheapest fishing line I could find online (from Amazon) (I didn’t search very hard though) was $10 for 440 yds of line. To circle the Earth, you’d need 44M / 440 = 100k spools = $1M for the fishing line.

Let’s assume every spool needs about 1 kite. That’s 100k kites. You can find kites online for like $5 each, but the cheapest way to get a kite is probably to bulk order wooden sticks and plastic film and make them yourself. Let’s do the math on that.

Assume each kite requires a generous 5 ft^2 of film, and 10 ft of sticks. I found some bulk plastic film rolls online (from McMaster Carr) for about $0.02 per ft^2, and some wooden marshmellow sticks (on Amazon) for about $0.10 per foot. That makes $0.02*5 + $0.10*10 = $1.10 per kite. That totals $1.10 * 100k = $110k.

So using these estimates, this kite ring costs around $1.11M.

No clue if it would actually work though.

Edit: corrected a math error

Looks like we found our first suspect lol

Who do you even email for that? mastercard@gmail.com?

Until every television can tell the difference between your eyes and a video camera, video drm is never gonna be effective

This sounds more like a bug to me, not deliverate manipulation by nintendo. But the fact that it can even happen by accident is very dissapointing

I agree with the other comments, but wanted to add how deepfakes work to show how simple they are, and how much less information they need than LLMs.

Step 1: Basically you take a bunch of photos and videos of a specific person, and blur their faces out.

Step 2: This is the hardest step, but still totally feasable for a decent home computer. You train a neural network to un-blur all the faces for that person. Now you have a neural net that’s really good at turning blurry faces into that particular person’s face.

Step 3: Blur the faces in photos/videos of other people and apply your special neural network. It will turn all the blurry faces into the only face it knows how, often with shockingly realistic results.

woaa I was literally wondering if they could add that as a feature like 10 minutes ago! Yippee

WHAT??? Why didn’t they teach me this in physics school???

Yeah I’m pretty sure a raspi 4 is up to the task. I ran a 512 GB jellyfin server on a raspi 3 for a few months, and the only issue was with transcoding video/audio (raspi doesn’t have the right hardware acceleration for that).

Never used nextcloud, but yeah you’ll probably want to update to 64-bit raspi os

I use both, since they do different stuff. I actually remote into my servers with wireguard, but I like to install tailscale as well as a backup. Since each device gets a unique tailnet ip, I can usually still connect even if I’ve fucked up some network config that breaks wireguard. ((If this is a security risk, someone let me know because I have no clue what I’m doing tbh.))

Plus tailscale lets you easily see what devices are connected to the internet at a given time.

Raspbian (modified Debian Jesse) on a raspberry pi 2B (which I am still using over a decade later to host some discord bots). Also now using Debian 1Bookworm on an old optiplex as a media server.

… and also both are a lot more expensive than they were before

“macOS has been here” “how can you tell?” “.DS_Store”

Yeah preferring ssh is very understandable. I mostly prefer LocalSend because it has an iOS app that comes in very handy from time to time (though that’s not relevant here)
