I found Adobe acrobat was good at ocr but I’m on Linux now.

In the past I’ve mostly done Anki for Chinese and Japanese but am looking for something else since I’ve fallen off Anki.

For Chinese I really need a service that I can read and OCR words to easily identify in a dictionary. I’m at a high intermediate or low advanced level but looking up words is annoying.

For Japanese I just need input for an intermediate level.

  • Clozemaster?
  • Italki?

Listing services I’ve found

  • Clozemaster (but has a bad model now)
  • tutor with something like italki
  • Anki
  • busuu
  • librelingo

I understand your point. I suspect the main advantage the post isn’t making clear is that PeerTube doesn’t have the same ensnaring algorithm that YouTube does, so it doesn’t keep you endlessly watching the next video or at least suggesting another video to you.

I honestly find this a negative which is spread around carelessly as a positive. On Peertube I see zero content except linux. On Mastodon I can only either find that one star trek dude, linux and foss dudes, or libs complaining about politics. Lemmy is easier to find stuff but has very little content.

I've let go of all other google and social media formats but youtube has actually good content and honestly a good algorithm. I search for something I want or watch something from my youtube rss feed then it recommends what I want. I have ads and tracking blocked. I only get the content I want.

I can't say the same for most of the fediverse honestly.

I think that’s kind of an advantage of a lot of fediverse alternatives is they’re comparatively “boring” in that they force you to be more intentional.

That's honestly just showed me how pointless it all is...

the post is too much for me to read right now.

Huh?

[-] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah I liked that too then they suddenly say they replaced it with Peertube… which doesn’t make anything sense to me.

Replacing YouTube with reading is a great idea but replacing YouTube with peertube still makes no sense. No tracking for .0000000001% of the content.

It makes their goals in this post unclear to me. Is it to degoogle or to devideo.

The general movement and flight mechanics look weak, it also just feels soulless. I’d have to watch again to give you a better answer but that was my cut reaction sense they allowed creators to make videos of it

I run one huge media server, one backup, three mini optiplex server (one public, private, and local), and one off site.

  • Is there a cheap Pi or something similar I could bring for the optiplex servers and then just let go of the others until I'm back?
  • Do I just throw everything in a VPS except for local stuff?

Idk what material science is but it doesn’t sound like nutrition.

As someone getting their PhD I know a lot about my very specific sub topic in a very small field but that’s it. Who even has time to really know anything else? So point being highly educated people can still be bozos though they should have better research skills.

You’re giving me flashbacks to a doctor in Tokyo sticking a camera into my bladder and saying it was beautiful. I yahooed it, cameras are 9mm. It was hell. At least I got you best ya weirdo

I’m writing my PhD and sometimes feel like I’m losing my mind trying to balance home and work tasks, thesis tasks, personal and household habits, and potential connecting these to notes. I really struggle if everything isn’t in one place I can’t keep track of it.

I’ve been using Beaverhabits for habits, Baikal for Caldav connected to iPhone reminders and Thunderbird tasks, and memos and trilium for notes. I also, use a notebook for daily stuff and move it over to digital if it isn’t finished by 5.

Any recommendations? I would really appreciate it. I enjoy thinking about how to do and manage work efficiently but also need a firm system.
