You can do whatever you want mate, just take the stick out of your arse first. No one’s being pressured to do anything.

I can vouch for whisper.cpp . It’s not 100% perfect but it’s good enough to transcribe a half hour podcast with numerous speakers and which requires pretty minimal fixing afterwards.

I didn’t even know they were still around. Possible AOTY contender in March!

Fucking hell. That’s the heaviest release of the year so far.

Looks like yunohost with a nicer interface but less apps and less config options.

Sure, but the body of the post mentions donating to devs and instance owners. I’m being pedantic I know, but I think it would be a more informative post if it’d made clear what the donation numbers refer to and what they don’t.

As an add-on (sort of) to Borg, I was told about Vorta yesterday and installed it to run scheduled, encrypted backups of my local machine to an external drive, but you can also ssh to a remote server if you wish. Works like a dream.

Right. My instance maintainer accepts donations via Ko-fi, which isn’t even listed here.

Sure, but plain CSS can do all that too and not leave your source heavier and indecipherable.

I loathe Tailwind. It offers absolutely nothing in advantage over plain CSS other than possibly development speed (but not re-development speed). I realise it’s meant for frameworks rather than smaller sites but at some point you know someone is going to have to hands on edit that mess.

• Abhoria - Depths (Blackened Death)
• Keres - Homo Homini Lupus (Blackened Death)
• Litosth - Cesariana (Atmospheric Black Metal)
• Ponte Del Diavolo - Fire Blades From The Tomb (Post/Black Metal)
• Praise The Plague - Suffocating In The Current Of Time (Death/Black Metal)

Not as far as I know. I think it’s mainly (sadly) Black Metal that attracts the real nasties. I’m sure there’s the odd non-black metal band thats pretty awful but I don’t think there’s an organised collation of it. Your best bet is the ‘Is It Fash’ FB group where you can search the group and also ask the members.

No, but here’s the lyrics:

Forgive me for I know not what I’ve done

I listen to slam and it’s made my brain dumb

Trust me, this ain’t no sick, twisted joke

Your nan saw the band name and started to choke

But on the bright side it could’ve been so much worse

It could have been my long sleeve of Butchered at Birth

Oh yeah, this could have been so much worse

It could have been the sweatshirt I bought from Aborted

A sartorial faux pas

A grave miscalculation of this party’s dress code

Eyes like daggers are tearing through me

I grabbed the first shirt I could find. I’m sorry

I was lost

Adrift in a sea of blackened garmеnts

Mindlessly reaching out into the darknеss

I was lost

Adrift in a sea of blackened garments

Then finally, I found one

A shirt. From the wardrobe

Forgive me for I know not what I’ve done

If I would have realised, I wouldn’t have come

Trust me, this was an honest mistake

I’m awfully sad to have spoiled the charade

But on the bright side it could’ve been so much worse

It could have been my zip-up from Decrepit Birth

Oh yeah, this could have been so much worse

It could have been my tank top from Infant Annihilator

I’m casting no aspersions

But I feel like I’m a burden

To this hollow act of vanity

That’s driven by pure vacuity

I’m trying to act amicably

But the cynic deep within me screams

That this is nothing more than some self-indulgent narcissism

Subjected to revealing!

What have we done to suffer this?

Subjected to revealing!

Nothing but egregious piss

Hurry up and pop that balloon!

Pop it!

It’s a great album but I’m after something a bit darker :) - thanks though!

That would be the third worst song on a bang average Slayer album. Not actually awful but not very exciting either.

You like what you like :)

Deafheaven definitely fall into a metal sub-genre, somewhere between Black Metal and Post Metal. Sunbather is also one of my favourite albums.

There’s a little known British band you might enjoy called The Hope Burden who’s stuff is similar to Deafheaven - this is their Decline. Despair. Decay EP

Studio album - Iron Maiden: Piece Of Mind

For some reason an underappreciated album but it’s got 2 or 3 stone cold classics on it and really only has one bad song on it (looking at you Quest For Fire).

Live album - Thin Lizzy Life:Live

Gets a lot of hate cos Phil Lynott did the production mix and he was clearly off his face when he did it but if you can get past that, the energy and musicianship is off the scale.

which I discovered from somebody posting a track here!

That was me :)

Master have been around for a long time so you should have a decent back catalogue to go through.

I’m really enjoying Madder Mortem’s Old Eyes, New Heart. Another band that have been around for awhile, this is a strangely hard album to define in a single sub-genre.

Reminded me a bit of the vid for Can I Play With Madness. Only with less Python, obvs.

Well, that’s a new rabbit hole I just fell down. Fucking awesome stuff.
