Why is streaming so hard? Unintuitive tools? Bad feedback reporting? Most streamers seem to talk for the first 5-10 minutes not knowing if they can be seen or heard ok, how the quality is for viewers whether it's good or bad.

PocketBase Blueprint PocketBase Blueprint. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

not yet. I know the nlp, textrank and vectors better than Pocketbase still. I worked on this Laravel Blueprint-like tool to build my schemas from a draft.yml. gist.github.com/garyblankens...

I think we underestimate the number of people who have just given up and accepted everything is outside their control. Or maybe that's just me.

hell yeah, I've been using PocketBase as a personal knowledge base and love building with it. I'm hoping to learn to build some extensions to pull in vector, nlp, textrank, etc..

Thought of a way to use Fragments Engine to tag songs with my mental mode and some context and other things and then use Recall to create a playlist to match my current mode on the fly, the music I'm listening to would adapt in real time.

This is what unbridled imagination looks like.

If you have never read the Epic of Gilgamesh, here's a link to an open access edition!

I would also highly recommend (one of the few books I've ever read more than twice) the translation and essays by @sophushelle.bsky.social
