The HNK stream can also be viewed at https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/live_tv/ with English dubs. The youtube feed looks to have stopped for now.

Thank you!

Also using Hetzner.

But I came across Mythic Beasts (https://www.mythic-beasts.com/) yesterday, similar idea, UK based. Not used them yet but made the account for the next VPS.

No, but I will, can imagine I'd be more successfully that asking for the same on ghcr.io!

And thanks, good to have an alternative to nat64. Touch wood though, so far it's been solid! And did my best to compress and cut what actually goes through it.

There's been a few post recently on the adoption of IPv6, and I've had the chance to try out what's involved in getting an IPv6-only VPS working as part of a recent project, in an effort to save 50¢ a month...

In all, it works, and if you get stuck the nat64 service really saves the day.

I am keen to hear if there's anything I could improve too. I did use Claude to help with feedback, but found it really got stuck on getting things right in some of this space.

Love the concept, with some similarity to folding@home, though more personal gain.

But trying it out it still needs work, I couldn't download a model successfully (and their list of nodes at https://console.darkbloom.dev/providers suggests this is typical).

And as a cursory user, it took me some digging to find out that to cash out you need a Solana address (providers > earnings).

On top of the app store link not working, the privacy and terms links also 404.

Also why is it free? Presumably the data is the product.

I found this out when buying a Japan Rail Pass for a trip a few years ago, blew my mind.

https://www.japanrailpass-reservation.net/ only works 4:00–23:30 Japan time.

Built a bit of software[1] with Claude this weekend to stop Apple Wireless Direct Link from interrupting GeForce NOW on macOS. Bit of an upgrade from a shell script[2].

Started with Rust, then swapped to Swift to cut the dependencies right down.
