A variation of that one with month names: https://bigasterisk.com/post/2026%20Calendar%20-%20Print%20-...
Note that you can align the weeks (or not) by adjusting the width at print time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattr figured out some parts of this. Notably, you picked your own total monthly donation, and then clicked a button on participating sites to allocate a fraction of your total to them. AFAICT it worked as advertised, but raised new issues with donation behavior. E.g. I obviously like curl every month, so should I click its button monthly? Twice monthly? If I am a developer of some other useful OSS software, should I click curl's button and the curl devs click my button? Does the money just slosh around between merchant-customers? Is that good?

The document is sadly 404 now, but this was an awesome nerdy writeup of the conversion of the Universal Studios Waterworld from Amigas in 2007.

Tried justwatch.com for this?
What notes do you want to add to a movie?

It's also a recommendation in Material Design:
"Cut off grid tiles in the view’s initial scroll position to communicate the scroll direction for content overflow."

We're, uh, solving that problem

Are there comparisons to related projects somewhere?
E.g. I've use DBeaver before. Is there some reason I should try Outerbase next time?

I am trying to make efficient gst pipelines for security cameras. I only took a quick look at GPS so far. The UX for making connections is a little weird, but so far the whole tool seems to work as advertised.

I found some existing mpv scripts:
https://github.com/oltodosel/mpv-scripts/blob/master/show_ch... display chapter names as OSD
https://gitlab.com/lvml/mpv-plugin-excerpt press 'i' and 'o' for in/out points, then 'x' to make a new (auto-named) file.
https://github.com/shinchiro/mpv-createchapter press 'shift-c' to mark chapters; export as xml file.
https://github.com/mar04/chapters_for_mpv mark chapter times, input titles, save as txt file
By having an LLM name the chapters, I meant having whisper do speechrec on the chapter and then asking an LM to summarize the content into a name up to k chars.

Yeah, I play a VHS tape and capture the whole thing. Maybe I should be using a scene detector to split files on camera cuts, which would be roughly correct for home movies (but not for TV shows).

That's where I am now. I'd like to optimize out the retyping and duplication of time strings.
I want the player ui (I'm using mpv) to have a command that:
1. Remembers the last end time to use as this chapter's start time
2. Gets the current time to use as chapter-end.
3. Accepts the name (e.g. 'chapter1').
4. Runs the ffmpeg copy command.
Perhaps mpv+lua can already handle this. I see commands for setting a loop range and for calling a subprocess. Not sure how I'd input the chapter name. Maybe I'll have an LLM name the chapters for me :)

Can you recommend a tool for dicing up 2h digitizations of VHS tapes? I want to play the 2h video, seek around easily, mark 'chapters' and give them filenames, then do a no-transcode rough cut extraction of each chapter into its own video.

Looks like the same mission as:
* https://www.codetriage.com/ (mentioned in these comments)
I seem to recall yet another one, maybe with a name that invoked a traveling group of helpers who would jump into projects briefly to fix them up?
On a related note, it would be cool if there was a way to leave a hobo sign equivalent if you find a project that is well-run and easy to contribute to. If the build and tests Just Work, etc., we should praise that project in a way that 1) encourages helpers to pick it since they'll have a good experience, and 2) provides a good example for other projects to follow.
It seems like something happened around 2026-05-01 (https://bigasterisk.com/post/delivered-email-rate-2026.png) where it became easier for spammers to make technically legitimately deliverable mails. Or my postfix is setup wrong.
