I have been tinkering with #AnimateDiff trying to get away from 32-frame movie to unlimited movie length using just home computer GPU.

It's doable. But getting transitions smooth between different shots is tough. But at least it's possible to retain the overall "concept" during the whole movie.

Below example is with stock #StableDiffusion 1.5 & motion module (no LoRA, no fine-tune) with just a static text prompt.

Wow, I can not recall ever seeing S.M.A.R.T. actually warning about a drive before it was too late to save the data on it. I guess my 8.5 year old drives in the external array on my desktop are finally starting to go.

I have younger and slightly bigger drives from my old NAS on hand to swap in one by one, and a good backup system so I'm not worried about data loss or ordering replacement hardware.

meine nextcloud-instanz zuhause habe ich jetzt endlich auf einen neuen raspi gezogen. es gab ziemlich viel trara, weil sie so stark veraltet war (nur ich alleine, und sie lief ja immer), sodass ich in das dilemma kam, sie unter raspberry pi os mit debian bookworm nicht zum laufen zu bekommen: php war zu neu, und auf dem alten raspi ließ sich nextcloud nicht weit genug upgraden für die die funktionalität unter php 8.2. Lehre: häufiger ans updaten denken, besonders bei dem kram, der eigentlich immer funktioniert.

ich hab also alles neu aufgesetzt, kalender und kontakte exportiert und importiert und daten kopiert. die besonderheit war, wenn man per betriebssystem nextcloud neue daten in das datei-verzeichnis schiebt, sieht nextcloud diese daten erst, wenn man einen scan danach gestartet hat:
sudo -u www-data php /path/to/nextcloud/occ files:scan --path='/path/to/files'

muss man wissen. nachdem alles funktionierte, kam mir die idee, meine selbstgebastelten zertifikate endlich mal durch letsencrypt-zertifikate zu ersetzen. die anleitung bei #^https://certbot.eff.org/ ist grundsätzlich ok, mit einem kleinen fallstrick. der output des befehls, die zertifikate zu holen, sieht aus, als müsse man selber gar nichts tun. das ist irreführend. man braucht folgendes:

der certbot muss nach hause telefonieren, die kontrolldatei muss per port 80 erreichbar sein. also port-freischaltung/umleitung auf dem router einrichten.
anders als es den anschein hat, muss man im DocumentRoot für port 80 ein verzeichnis anlegen: .well-known/acme-challenge
darin erstellt der certbot seine kontrolldatei, die letsencrypt abfragt zur ausstellung des zertifikates.
und das ganze funktioniert dann mit: certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html/ --cert-name die.dyndns-domain.zuhause

dann fehlt nur noch der cronjob, damit die zertifikate rechtzeitig erneuert werden. alles eigentlich ganz einfach, wenn man nicht drei stunden irgendwelche logs durchforstet, weil man der meinung ist, der certbot würde alles selber machen und versage.

aber es muss gehen, die anderen tun es doch auch

jetzt habe ich eine heimische nextcloud, die viel schneller ist, als die vorherige und bei der die browser nicht mehr meckern ...

Unlike the #DDR East Germany which just ripped off the Commodore 64 #C64, the #Yugoslavian Voja Antonić developed a real home grown alternative: the Galaksija.

It was invented in 1983 and the plans to build your own distributed in 1984

Finally ... #HomeComputing!

Randomly getting nostalgic about Microsoft Bob this morning... If you search for Microsoft Bob on YouTube you'll get results like "Was it really that bad?" "Just how bad WAS it?"

Hot take: it was amazing! It's so underappreciated! But it seems like it was obviously for kids (my brother and I LOVED it) with all of the fun house decorating and secret doors and passwords... kids love that shit. It was just marketed wrong. #retro #1990s #90s #90sComputing #HomeComputing

This #MaySiXth #MSXDay I'm introducing almost-five-years-old #BeardGrabber to #MSX games again. He's probably the same age now as when my parents got our #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 #homecomputer, and now, probably about 35 years later, he gets to play on the very same machine, playing the same original copies as I got or bought during my childhood, which feels quite special. 💙
So far we've played some #BubbleBobble, #Brisk and now #PinballBlaster. His #joystick and #keyboard control isn't good yet, but he's still very much enjoying the experience! 💚

I also have some videos of him playing, but I need some time to review the footage to make sure it doesn't show kiddo's face and such. :)

A blond haired boy sitting on a toolbox in front of a TV which shows the opening screen of "Brisk: een levendig spel".
On the floor in front of him is the MSX2 homecomputer that's running the game, with a Philips Music Module and a Panasonic FM-PAC sticking out the side, providing additional music chips for games that support them.
On the shelf on the TV furniture another of the same machines can be seen, as I was experiencing some hardware issues.
A joystick (The Arcade Turbo) can also be seen on the furniture unit.

The Loading screen of Brisk; a figure wielding a shield (which is blocking a lightning bolt) and holding a Ying Yang symbol in his other hand, following an arrow path and a ball, while another figure is holding a bomb.
On the TV desk the two transport floppies, a joystick, and the Bubble Bobble cartridge can be seen, as well as MSX DOS 2.20 and 1MB RAM cartridges in a zip lock bag

I updated "The List."

I've owned a few systems...

In a reddit thread discussing an old Beagle Bros sticker attached to the default computery sticker location for every schoolchild -- the front of a floppy disk storage box -- a former tech support employee of the company chimed in in the comments and shared a nice little glimpse of the company from the inside.

Thanks, r/LlaughingLlama
