Installing and running Spleeter to separate audio files

Here are up-to-date installation instructions for running Deezer's Spleeter on Ubuntu 24.04. Minimum requirements are around 16 GB of RAM. (During the processing, it uses around 11 GB at the peak.) I ran this on a temporary Hetzner server because my Apple Silicon system, after lots of fiddling with version, ran into AVX issues.

Install Conda.

conda create -n spleeter_env python=3.8 -y

conda activate spleeter_env

Jesse Strang in 2019

At a shooting on a high school in Tumbler Ridge, Canada, 10 people were shot, as reported at 03:30 in Dutch national media.

There are two suspect names going around, however. For example, on Feb 11, 2026, 7:25 PM IST the Hindustan Times reported the name Jesse Strang. A few hours later, however, the name was suddenly reported as Jesse Van Rootselaar without mention of the previous name.

Biblical Earth

This is an image by ChatGPT showing roughly how the Bible describes the earth:

Unfortunately, it's not showing the four corners. This image is based on,

Isaiah 40:22 “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers…”

Job 26:10 “He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.”

Job 26:7 “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.”

Proverbs 8:27 “When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:”

Castopod configuration

I just setup a castopod instance to self-host some audio files, and so far it seems to work. To get it to work, I used tweaked the default configuration a bit as follows.

On a server, make a new folder called castopod and added a new docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  castopod:
    image: 'castopod/castopod:1.14.0'
    container_name: 'castopod'
    volumes:

    networks:

Peter Ruckman on Professors

After having been in academia for many years and having obtained a PhD, I agree with Dr. Peter Ruckman's opinion (starting 9:52):

[...] Always correct the Greek with English. Oh how they hate that. Oh my God how they hate that. Every professor in America just "Oh oh... Ah! Heresy!" You say, "Why?" They want you to come to them, can't you figure that mess out?

Now listen, never let scholarship intimidate you no matter how stupid you are. If the scholarship says one thing and you read in your Bible that it doesn't say that, don't let them intimidate you. Say, "Well, I don't understand it, but I'm sure the Bible is right and you are wrong." I don't care how many degrees they wave in your face, some men die by degrees. BA (Bachelor of Arts) is a Bunch of Apple sauce, MA (Master of Arts) is More Apple sauce, and PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) means Pile Higher and Deeper.

The 95 Theses of the Reformationsfest (1917)

This is an English translation of the 95 Leitsätze zum Reformationsfest 1917. These theses were meant to bring the church up-to-date to the new ideas of national socialism. Like all man-made doctrines, it is probably best ignored, but it may be useful for research purposes.

The translation below is created by feeding the images to Google Gemini. This means the translation is probably far from perfect, but it should still be sufficient to get a rough idea of the main messages of the text.

Noteworthy Bible Verses

All verses from the King James Version (KJV).

Vigilance

It's good to learn and study, Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

But,

Proverbs 14:15, "The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going."

1 John 4:1, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

The Bad News

Pastor Adam Fannin of Law of Liberty church had a good description of the news. He calls it the “bad news” because there is nothing good in it. Source: https://youtu.be/VmcIYcEbLVk.
