@globalc @ordnung That's why we need DoH / DoT enabled by default on all computers.

@benoit I don't miss Tokyo's summers! But where are you now?

@kazaii @letsencrypt 😂

@dnc What are the steaks made of?

@mcnees Lovely, I didn't know Neptune had supersonic winds!

Voyager 2 continued to collect Neptune data for another month or so after sailing off. But this was the last stop on its Grand Tour. After that, it left the ecliptic and headed off towards interstellar space.

We haven't been back since.

However, if NASA *does* decide to send another probe, there's a little bit of cargo I'd like to add.

Liftoff! 🚀

@benoit What does it advertise?

@benoit I was surprised a film like this made it to US theaters without heavy censorship.

@alameth You already know Animelon? They don't have a lot of #anime series, but their subs are great for learning #Japanese.

@alameth Some torrents have them.

This particular one had Japanese subs ripped from the DVD, so they're images rather than text:

@daico Not sure if real or produced by a really good diffusion model...

@daico Is it real or produced by a really good diffusion model?

Finally I got #StableDiffusion to run on my Linux desktop with GPU acceleration on #amdgpu.

#PyTorch 2.0.1 segfaults after a few seconds. I had to install the nightly version with ROCm 5.6.

Generating 768x768 previews is reasonably fast, but image quality seems worse than the online demo, not sure why. Try sending me your prompts for a comparison.
