  • A persistent assumption about advanced interstellar travel is that engine efficiency is monumentally better to the point that the “tyrrany of the rocket equation” is no longer a factor, and extra mass can be carried without absolutely exploding your fuel requirements into absurdity.

    If adding 10kg of payload didn’t mean also potentially many times more mass of propellant we’d be sending up more robust spacecraft, no question.







  • If the fact that a 128-bit value when sent to your server can retrieve a single piece of media or user info then I have real bad news about what you can do with a typically much shorter password.

    Is it ideal that you can retrieve streams or user info from Jellyfin if you know the ID of the entity you’re looking for? No, obviously not. But you need to authenticate to get those IDs in the first place, and there are fewer bits of entropy in most people’s passwords than there are in UUIDs.

    Being able to get streams unauthenticated by guessing the correct UUID is arguably still better security than using passwords without 2FA.


  • PDF to JPEG

    Don’t most pdf viewers have an export to image option?

    AVC to MP4

    Do you actually have files with an .avc extension? AVC is a codec that can be used in many different container formats, including MP4. Where did these files come from?

    OPUS to MP3

    I actually agree that most audio conversion tools are needlessly awkward. Audacity will convert these just fine, though doesn’t really do bulk conversion. Foobar2000 will do it in bulk if you’re on windows.





  • My most common use for Google assistant was an extremely simple command. “Ok Google, set a timer for ten minutes.” I used this frequently and flawlessly for a long time.

    Much like in your situation it just stopped working at some point. Either asking for more info it doesn’t need, or reporting success while not actually doing it. I just gave up trying and haven’t used any voice assistant in a couple of years now.

    I’d argue that Li should be red and Hg should be yellow.

    Elemental mercury in liquid form is fairly safe. It needs to get into your blood in order to be a problem, and even if some does stick to your tongue and get swallowed the digestive absorption is extremely low.
