I just tested this exploit, I was easily able to remove the french language pack by typing “rm -fr /*”

odroid or minisforum. Good luck though, prices are horrid right now thanks to unhinged AI tech bros.

Better to take up a new hobby like woodworking

I live in Australia, our internet is garbage.

this is very much untrue. I’ve just got a home connection and manage fine.

there’s 4 of them, coincidence or conspiracy?

Did you read the article? I’m guessing not, because you’d have read this part

… and a “5400 RPM Class” Western Digital Red—which, as tested by audio spectral analysis, actually spins at 7,200rpm

or followed the link to the original investigation and seen this part:

Known “5400RPM Class”=7200RPM drives: …

WD80EZAZ-11TDBA0 (WD MyBook 8TB)

WD80EFAX (WD Red Plus 8TB)

WD100EFAX/WD101EFAX (WD Red Plus 10TB)

[WD80EFZX? (old WD Red 8TB)]

are you sure the WD red plus was actually 5400rpm and not what they call “5400rpm class”? WD was caught straight up lying on the spec sheets for 5400 drives, they’re actually 7200. e.g https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/09/western-digital-is-trying-to-redefine-the-word-rpm/

I am well aware of what soulseek is. sockseek is not soulseek though, it’s a vibe coded app that doesn’t share back to the network and causes issues with legitimate clients.

is sockseek one of those clients that doesn’t share back and just leeches off the network?

If so please don’t use it, people have started putting capatchas on their shares because of these clients and it messes up legitimate clients like slskd

I think streamrip is what you want

and there’s an updated and maintained version of deemix here:

https://github.com/bambanah/deemix

can yt-dlp grab things from deezer?

that gets tedious, fast. Much easier to use beets that does none of that silly stuff.

from the sounds of it it’s not changing the actual file, just changing the duration tag which is then being read by whichever wonky app OP is using. Why does picard change the duration tag rather than just rely on the file? who knows.

it doesn’t just use the same source as picard? beets can use discogs, itunes, deezer, spotify and probably a bunch more.

beets with a whole bunch of custom scripts. I tried using picard but found it to be completely useless, it rarely finds a match and when it does it decides it belongs to multiple album editions rather than just 1.

oh, it’s that time2lose guy. He called me a reddit agent as well.

I’m sorry, but I had to downvote this post.

for me the issue isn’t so much the AI usage, but rather the intent behind the project. The reason I stopped browsing /r/selfhosted (and most of reddit) was the huge volume of people announcing their latest github star farming project, usually something that already exists or otherwise re-invents the wheel. The worst ones were the soulseek clones that caused massive disruptions because of their poor implementation of the protocol.

If a project is well written (and maintained) AI assisted coding, then that’s fine. But the problem is that the deluge of pure slop has made separating the two much harder, and thus I tend to assume anything that looks AI assisted is a waste of time.
