FFmpeg should just dual license at this point. If you're wanting shit fixed. You pay for it (based on usage) or GTFO. Should solve all of the current issues around this.

Isn't that basically what the Matter protocol is?
Matter turned into a cluster fuck of devices. Use you're android phone to provision a device and connect it to your setup, most people use Google Home or homeassistant, smartthings is also an option, maybe others. But it's only to onboard the device for the most part. It'll still connect to your WiFi, give you next to no visibility as to what's going on in a failure and no interface to control it should your controller go down.
It's also not very well supported in things like homeassistant, despite what they say.
A big thank you to the creator. Was one of my goto sites to debug IPv6 issues on random devices over the years.

Have you actually run it?
Of course I have. It's nothing impressive and far from a 100% clone of the CEEFAX page. But its a start if someone wanted to take it further. I was more interested in trying out ratatui with Gemini.

This is pretty rad.
I'm surprised no one's made a CEEFAX replica for the terminal yet [0]. Their weather page is pretty iconic [1].
[0] There are CEEFAX Emulators online that pull from the BBC RSS feeds to do this.

There is kind of one now https://github.com/shift/ceefax-weather :D
Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_CRITICAL_EXTENSION
Seems to be fixed now.

Don’t worry, there’s no greedy, rent-seeking rock that hasn’t been overturned. Your idea would cost them way too much money. Since we’ve embraced scalping as a legal business model, Ticketmaster makes money on all sides of most transactions. It’s in their interest to for you to have maximum anxiety and buy as early as possible to increase the odds that you’ll resell.
The bots and scrapers aren’t black hat, Ticketmaster makes some nominal effort to “stop them”, but somehow those pesky hackers manage to figure out how to make Ticketmaster more money. Ticketmaster is adept at making the purchase experience high friction and difficult, so those bots must be really clever. (Lol)
Sounds like Valve/Steam and the CS:GO gambling.
>The escapement will have a longer overall lifespan, and may need servicing every couple decades, as opposed to a new battery every couple years.
My Citizen Ecodrive needed the first capacitor change after 17 years of daily wear. Literally zero service to the watch before that.
Also I really really don't buy that this mechanical movement won't need service every couple years like pretty much any mechanical watch out there. Where do you take the decades part from?
Probably the ruby that the spinning parts sit between and only need to be relubricated occasionally. I'm just going of what I've seen on service videos.
5x what though? Even if we assume this is the true figure, everyone who uses Claude regularly knows that usage limits fluctuate over the course of days and weeks.
Surge pricing? I'm not sure if my remark is sarcasm or a prediction on the future.
