I indexed 669 GB of my GoPro videos using my M1 Max computer and local ML models
TLDR: I had 2,207 GoPro videos, and I need to rewatch them to find interesting moments from my cycling journey. I built a project to index them locally on my M1 Max using open-source ML models, search for those moments, and send the best clips straight to my DaVinci Resolve timeline. I indexed 628 videos (668.68 GB, 15h 13m 18s of footage duration), more details in the metrics table in the last section of this article.

TIL: If you’re trans in Germany and you want to start hormone therapy, you still need to be officially declared “trans” first (Indikationsschreiben, page 18: https://www.transinterqueer.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Hormontherapie_DE_barrierearm.pdf) and then you can try to find an actual doctor to get the meds. All with super long waiting lists. This takes forever. 😩

Changing your legal name is surprisingly easy in comparison, at least since 2024: https://www.bmbfsfj.bund.de/bmbfsfj/aktuelles/alle-meldungen/anmeldung-zur-aenderung-des-geschlechtseintrages-jetzt-moeglich-243056 (From my perspective, that’s the less relevant part, though, because there’s a good chunk of people that you can just ask to call you differently (friends, cowokers, …) and then do that legal stuff later. But you want your body to change, like, now.)

2025 end the year rewind:

Compared to only 3 new artworks in 2024 and next to no work, on other projects, this year I not only met the self-imposed goal of monthly pixelart, but exceeded it by 50%, with 18 additions in total.

Relicensed the majority of canine faction owned art and projects, under two less restrictive Creative Commons licensees*. This also applies retroactively, to everyone who used/archived our art and projects, back when the old license didn’t allow it.

Disappointed by the current state of the Internet and continued lack of competition among browsers, completely reworked the main website* and made Smol Drive** (a new image gallery project), both made to be compatible with as many web and Gemini browsers, as possible.

It was though year. I finished my PhD, yay! Now, I’m on vacation from my main job, as educator at Sesc, and yesterday I wound down some last freelance work obligations. I really need a break.

I want to rest, make some “prints” of my drawings for friends, go to my local museums and have coffee/tea with friends, and that’s it!

Today we celebrate 18 years of our local #Python users group, #GruPySP, and I’m going to meet friends from #GaroaHackerClube, that’s a great start :)

** Wobbly updates or a sort of week notes **
Hello RSS goblins.

It’s unseasonably warm here, and well, I suppose everywhere. That’s…frightening, but before I let that weigh to heavily on this post I must move on.

It’s been a gorgeous weekend. We took the kids to the beach Friday after dinner, expecting to play on the sand and scramble up the rocks, but they actually each went swimming. They had a blast. The car is filled with sand, and I hope that last little hurrah of summer hangs around for a bit.

We also went putt putt golfi … ⌘ Read more

18:16 <aelaraji> quark 🙏 much appreciated but it won't be necessary, since there isn't much to miss out on in most of  where I hang out, so I could just disconnect and spare everyone else the noise

18:18 <quark> No noise for me.

18:18 <quark> What would IRC be without on/offs?

In-reply-to » @bender Oh, there’s an easy explanation. But maybe some mysteries are best left unexplained. 😃 If you want to solve this riddle: The solution is in the phlog! Somewhere! 😅

Hmm: gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2025/2025-08/2025-08-18--permacomputing.txt

That’s fairly recent, but fully justified. I give up! :-D
