since moleskine’s started being cunty about “AI”, I don’t know if I want to give them more money

fedi, recommend me your favourite #notebook vendors. gridded, ruled, or clear are all valid options. usage is idea dump, lists, longterm backref, rapid sketching. typically I pair with the Pilot G-Tech C4 pens (which are great for just fucking working immediately, super helpful when on-site doing stuff)

I've liked the moleskine ones esp because they've served me well on durability

retoots welcome

leaks from the gc: LLMs = expanding blob of pee in the pool

why does this come to mind?

d-i needs to load them at runtime to initialize devices. as Adam said, display adapters and NICs are the big bugbears. often also storage controllers. in days past it was sometimes necessary for USB too (which would be hilariously annoying sometimes - USB would work for the vmlinuz pivotroot, and then lose access during installer because chip needs blob)

there’s actually a hook in the installer to easily load others (from accessible storage), too

watching the various articles of "omg firms are choosing not to hire 'ai literate' employees" and thinking of the very obvious future where the rest of us are going to have to catch the slack for these people and help carry them forth into the future

don't get me wrong: it's always valuable to teach juniors

okay okay, that's nice, much previous credential very awe! I, too, am capable of looking up someone's past! (and in fact I did)

but again I ask you: can you argue _why_?

you make a substantive claim that someone else is wrong, with no argument as to why other than "bc he said so!", a naked appeal to (perceived) authority

if you want to argue a point, *argue a point*. bring your points, I'll bring the snacks!

that's nice, can you say why?

they want everything to be Fucking Rentware so incredibly goddamn badly. the more everything is Fucking Rentware, the more dependent people would be forced to be on whatever the bayfuckers can control

imagine this thought process

on the one hand, a route established through literal decades of price-optimisation

and then on the other, this person who thinks his “ai” has made a better route. because the line is more direct. on a map projection.

and then having the actual gall to go post that on the internet? “co-ceo” of a company. and _this_ is how much you’ll show your ass online, unasked?

I only wish I were the least bit surprised. alas, in 2025? nope

does ffmpeg have rtsps support? maybe check with ffprobe or ffplay?

thinking about it though, rtsp (and i presume the rtsps variant too) sets up 2+ connections for media: the first is a rtcp control stream, and it also provides a SDP stream definition file (which your client then uses to set up media sessions for the resources defined in there). it might also be worth dumping the SDP and seeing if you can see if the session setup for that works directly
