The HPC has been down for the past two days, so I wrote the most extended README file I have ever written for a GitHub repository.

People on fediverse are as abusive as those on Twitter/X. Most of them hide behind pseudonyms and cat photos. It's cowardly calling names while hiding in your mama's basement.

I found a frozen creek, so obviously, I had to throw rocks at it.

I was missing the woods, so I spent the early morning at Lock 21 on the C&O canal on the banks of the Potomac River. I built a small fire, and now I smell all smoky.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year!

Luke 2:10-11 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

People in public parks and trails with big #dogs without leashes are probably the most irresponsible. No matter how cuddly and well-behaved your dog is, it's an animal. And not everyone likes to be greeted by an unknown dog running towards them.

Why is there so much #spam on #Telegram? Every spammer's profile has an Asian girl photo.

I fear using #wireless #headphones or #VR headsets because I don't like the idea of having a battery pack close to my head. What if it blows up? Am I the only one with this #phobia, or is it a legitimate fear that others struggle with as well?

Are #Mastodon filters case-sensitive, or would it be acceptable if I just wrote the keywords in small cases?

Thanks to everyone for suggesting #OpenAI #Whisper for my problem. I have now settled with the following workflow:

Is there a free to relatively cheap way to do audio-to-text transcription? Currently, I use otter.ai, but it has a limit of 30 minutes per recording in the free plan. Though I love it, my current usage is infrequent and doesn't justify a pro subscription.

It doesn't have to be a real-time transcription. I can record and batch transcribe using a standalone, web, or mobile app. Thanks!

I guess #DEI doesn't work at the #piano recitals. For a school representing #Maryland and #Virginia, there were 25 #Asian kids with 2 #Indian Asians, including my daughter.

She did very well in her first recital. I was more nervous than her.
