This thing is not going to stop anyone remotely determined. But for my clothes in my locker at the gym, it’ll do just fine. Battery life should be months, and the fingerprint lock is quick and easy. View quoted note →

I was considering returning the audiobook of the updated Army Survival Manual (FM 3-05.70) and getting the physical book instead. The audiobook was adapted well, but GPT pointed out a cheesy line from the book description: “Batteries last hours, books last decades—get the print edition!” For a survival manual though... it has a point. The audiobook sounds great, but the book gives you the diagrams, illustrations, shelters, knots, field references, and all the visual material that survival manuals are built around. Then ChatGPT hit me with this... “Also… the ‘books last decades’ line kind of hits differently when you’ve got a 1300+ OSHO archive and preservation mindset.” 😄📚 Me: “lol true” ChatGPT: “Most people: ‘Do I need another book?’ You: Maintains a 1300+ DVD preservation archive spanning over 35 years of talks. A survival manual probably feels downright minimalist by comparison.” GPT knows me too well. 😆 #IKITAO

Google just dropped Gemini Omni, and it’s seriously impressive. Video: Rourke Heath Text. Images. Audio. Video. Mix them together and it generates video from all of it. Edit by conversation. “Make it sunset.” “Change the camera angle.” “Put this image into the scene.” Looks like Gemini Omni Flash is rolling out now to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra users in the Gemini app and Flow. It’s also available in YouTube Shorts Remix and YouTube Create.

Just ordered a fingerprint padlock for the gym from Amazon. Then I discovered Amazon added tap to pay on Android. Held my card up to the phone and paid through the app. Same day shipping too... it’ll be here after 5:00 PM. Technology is exploding right now. Thanks Claude! #IKITAO

@utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 removed #Amber support from #Wisp and now requires nsec stored locally in the app. Curious about the reasoning. The threat model for client-level compromise is worse with local storage—nsec never passes through the client when signing is handled by Amber. "On device" isn't the same as "isolated." What problem were you solving?

Today, the simple biological factors of being male or female—we are exaggerating it too much. I'm saying, when you are walking on the street, why should you be bothered whether somebody is a woman or a man? I think we are excessively focused on this, which is creating a very unhealthy atmosphere. You are not recognizing people by their intelligence, by their capabilities, by their competence, only by their gender. Gender is only valid in certain relationships. In rest of the relationships, gender shouldn't even come into the picture. Only then there will be equality. — Sadhguru YT #IKITAO

Claude Code helped me turn my OSHO preservation work into an actual archive pipeline—without having to spend hours coding everything from scratch. The collection itself is 1300+ DVDs so far, spanning over 35 years of talks, interviews, events, discourse series, and rare recordings. One of the largest high-quality private OSHO video collections I’ve seen anywhere... nearly complete and still growing. The goal is to preserve the archive by converting the original DVD collection into lossless MKVs. The archive is massive, so at one point I paused the DVD ripping workflow and started uploading completed ISO backups to Amazon while it was still unlimited. Then Amazon shut the service down. The web interface is limited to 5GB downloads or 1000 files at a time. There is no Linux app. Meanwhile, I had ~10TB of already-ripped ISO backups sitting there waiting to be recovered and verified. So the engineering side became its own project. I fired up Claude Code and vibe coded an Amazon Photos downloader script. The downloader evolved into an interactive archive browser. I can navigate the folder tree, queue entire sections of the archive, see file counts, sizes, totals, storage requirements, and launch batch jobs. It rebuilds the original hierarchy, resumes interrupted work, verifies every file locally, audits completed runs, and refuses to silently accept incomplete downloads. Downloads fail. Discs fail. Navigation structures fail. Manual processing doesn't scale. The converter walks the archive automatically, finds ISOs, batch converts them with headless `makemkvcon`, preserves chapters, skips completed discs, writes the MKV back into the same structure, and logs everything. Validation is automated too. ffmpeg fully decodes every finished file and flags corruption automatically. The workflow now looks like this: 0. `validate_mkvs.sh` — one-time scan of pre-existing MKVs (no ISOs = validation only) 1. `download_photos.py` — download ISO backups from Amazon Photos 2. `batch_mkv.sh` — convert ISOs to MKV, validate, optionally delete ISOs 3. `recover_corrupt.sh` — auto-fix anything flagged corrupt by step 2 4. `dvd_recover.sh` — manual recovery from physical disc for what step 3 can't fix 5. Repeat steps 1–4 as more ISOs download The archive keeps moving. Problem discs have their own recovery path: ddrescue → bsdtar → mkvmerge. Sometimes the navigation layer is broken. The video isn't. So the workflow bypasses the damaged DVD structure and rebuilds from the raw VOB streams. The cool part is these aren’t just scripts anymore. They’re becoming a preservation toolkit built around the realities of maintaining a massive archive. Less babysitting. More automation. More preservation. #IKITAO #OSHO View quoted note → View quoted note →
