About Nouser76

Comments made are mine alone, and bear no reflection on the opinions, thoughts, hot takes, desires, positions, etc. of any employer future or past.

I'm really into sustainable agriculture, small scale farming, vermiculture, and finding ways to automate those things. It's also pretty fun to automate small things in everyday life.

If contacting for recruitment purposes, add the word "vermiculture" to the message to let me know you've read this.

    This may be tangential, but the interesting thing to me about the Warcraft Wiki is that it serves the lore and API information in great detail and is my go-to resource for those. B…

    One of the best cases of leaving Fandom that I know of is the Runescape wiki mentioned in the article[0]. The community that ran the fandom wiki had buy-in from the creators of Run…

    Just a note, Ethereum uses Proof of Stake now instead of Proof of Work, which is what drives the reduction in energy consumption.

    Is there any framework/system that distributes the work across multiple GPUs on different computers over a network (LAN or WAN)? I'm not concerned much about latency or generation …

    I've used coqui.ai's TTS models[0] and library[1] to great success. I was able to get cloned voice to be rendered in about 80% of the audio clip length, and I believe you can also …

    In my experience, modern entertainment takes too much cognitive load to get up and running. With streaming/on demand, I have to make pointed decisions on what show I'm watching. I …

    Ruffle[0] can be embedded in your website to make flash work in modern browsers. Neopets actually did just this a few days ago[1] to bring back their catalog of old flash games. So…

    I don't know that it's a great plan to do a blogpost and in-app notification as the first round of reminders and email on the day of the change. Both the blogpost and in-app notifi…

    Honestly, I have the opposite experience. I pressurize around 50-55PSI and do at least 2 carbonation cycles, venting in-between. Using cold water is also key, so I keep a 2L full o…
