  • Just checked out Seal. My impression:

    It uses the same backend as MeTube (yt-dlp), so they have the same capability as far as website support and file formats.

    Seal looks like a good option if you don’t have access to your home network or if you don’t have a dedicated machine to host things.

    I still prefer MeTube because it’s a web UI that I can access from any machine. I use a VPN to stay connected to my house so I could still use MeTube while away.

    Is it primarily for iPhone users?

    MeTube is just a web UI, not a phone app. It is accessible by any device that can see the local IP and port of the host machine.




  • It will be used to separate the wealthy from the poor even further. The wealthy people will afford it and make their families healthier and better looking.

    I support the idea of eliminating genetic disabilities via gene editing, but the second you add in the option of picking eye or hair color, height, or skin color, you’re going down a path of eugenics that only works to put down those unable to pay for it.

















  • tl;dr short distance texting (up to 25 miles depending on line of sight) without cell service.

    This is the meshtastic community, which revolves around radios that use unregulated frequencies to communicate.

    These radios are either standalone or connect to your phone via bluetooth. They allow you to text others or transmit some data (e.g. temperature, humidity in a greenhouse).

    They’re completely separate from cell networks. They form their own network by repeating signals they pick up. You can designate how many hops a message will have, which is how many times that message will be repeated.

    The more people who have one, the better it works.
