- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Hassan I delved into a bit of Wikipedia drama on the page of Scott Hassan, initial coder of Google Search, which I created an am the main contributor.Originally I had added some details about this messy divorce which saw coverage in major publications such as the New York Times: www.nytimes.com/2021/08/20/technology/Scott-Hassan-Allison-Huynh-divorce.html and Scott used puppets to remove those at several points in time over the years.Those removals were then reverted by other editors, not myself, indicating that editors wanted the details there.While preparing to finally decide this through moderation, I ended up finding that the divorce details should likely have been left out according to Wikipedia rules, because Scott is "relatively unknown" and a "low profile individual":and so I ended up removing them myself.This is yet once again deletionism on Wikipedia weakening the site, and making @OurBigBook stronger :-) Here is the uncensored one: Scott HassanI spent time on this partly because I'm mildly obsessed with founding myths of companies, but also partly to better understand the moderation process of Wikipedia.

vosk-transcriber -m ~/var/lib/vosk/vosk-model-en-us-0.22 -i in.ogg -o out.srt -t srt
to extract a subtitle file out.srt from a .ogg audio input file.Accuracy is a bit meh, but we'll take it! - video.stackexchange.com/questions/33531/how-to-remove-background-from-video-without-green-screen-on-the-command-line/37392#37392 tested this AI video background remover github.com/nadermx/backgroundremover by @nadermx.
