💰 GrifterDevon Del Vecchio / "Dev" / ShortFatOtaku / @sleepy_devo - Degenerate loser, honorary whiteknight for Lilith Lovett, constantly at odds with his own viewers for being a centrist
How accurate is this anyways, i just got having one of my left captures relatives berate me about how Trump is evil because of the crazy tariffs impulse against poor little china.........
Its weird because I havent seen anyone but Trump himself say that Amazon putting the price thing on stuff in relation to tariffs would be a horrible idea.
Amazon is 90% chinese knockoff slop nowadays and I think that having the prices reflect that, and be honest what you are paying for when prices go up, is a direct benefit to the consumer. i.e. Two things are $120, one made and shipped from America, and another a knockoff that is normally 80 and marked up $40. You are more likely to buy the normally $120 one because its likely to be less shit because its objectively worth more than the chinese knock off.
Arch did not enjoy the tucker video and thinks that Dev has dropped the ball. Probably not to the point that he's going to actively disassociate with him, but he's very pissed off about it.

top irony to retweet your unironic contempt for american politicians just before making a """""""""""joke""""""""""" about taxpayer funded tranny surgery
really not beating the "horrifically radical leftist statist tranny lover" allegations with this one
He would have been better off making it a series, slicing it in 7 30 minute parts or some shit. But what he produced wouldn't really work as that since he also used so much footage to do the talking for him and a lot of the video is just news footage played with no comment by him.
He would have been better off doing that for his whole channel, but his insistence on "waiting for all the facts to come out" unsurprisingly ended up biting him in the ass more ways than one. Had he decided that he wanted to focus on sociopolitical current events and pumped out frequent "facts as we know them" update videos, he'd've been more likely to actually have a healthy Youtube channel where he could have paid Dave and Naomi as part of his actual production crew. It's just one of many stupid decisions on how to run his Youtube channel but the one that ended up most damaging his credibility, especially after the Ruby Ridge take.
There's probably a snowball's chance in hell that Null hosts this, so does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the size down?
Each audio sample is 128kbps.
Really depends on the video codec used and how compressible it ends up being and the compression algorithm you use for the whole archive. You might be able to get it down further with a lossy archival format if you don't mind the quality suffering a bit.
Over the past few days, I've finished archiving the entire 'GameBoomers' channel. Audio only, because each of these videos is around an hour long and the channel has more videos than subscribers.
Most of them didn't even have enough views for YouTube to auto-generate captions. View attachment 7310140View attachment 7310128

I think I've found a way to compress by ~85% while not sounding like shit.
This may be over optimistic, but I think I can get it to around 50GB if I spend a long time re-encoding.
Edit:
I've managed to compress portions to about 1/20th the size.
I used a new audio codec called .dac which had basically unnoticeable audio compression at 8kbps, but it's currently not supported by media players.
Since not even ffmpeg supports this format yet, it needs to be re-encoded into a normal format for now.
I'm including a sample to make sure others can properly decode it and I didn't fuck it up.
pip install descript-audio-codec
This will probably take about 1 seconds per minute of audio; a 1 hour stream took me 1 minute to decode on an RTX 3060 12GB.
Python:
import dac
from audiotools import AudioSignal
# Download a model
model_path = dac.utils.download(model_type="16khz") # Compressed using 16khz model
model = dac.DAC.load(model_path)
model.to('cuda')
# Load audio signal file
#signal = AudioSignal('input.wav')
# Encode audio signal as one long file
# (may run out of GPU memory on long files)
#signal.to(model.device)
#x = model.preprocess(signal.audio_data, signal.sample_rate)
#z, codes, latents, _, _ = model.encode(x)
# Decode audio signal
#y = model.decode(z)
# Alternatively, use the `compress` and `decompress` functions
# to compress long files.
#signal = signal.cpu()
#x = model.compress(signal)
# Save and load to and from disk
#x.save("compressed.dac")
# point this to the .dac file you want to decompress
x = dac.DACFile.load("compressed.dac")
# Decompress it back to an AudioSignal
y = model.decompress(x)
# Write to file
y.write('output.wav')

Dev plans on doing the trucker video some time this month. He claims to be 75% done with it, and figured he might as well kick it out.
After the trucker video, he will do a response video for both Kirche and Ace. He did not clarify if he would do the same for Ayden, Scrump, or Uzalu.
His channel rebrand will come after all of these videos are made.
Dev got offended that one of his orbiter, Mama Octo (also a troon), doubted that Dev will get the Kirche video out. But Naomi rightfully pointed out that Dev has had a constant streak of overpromising and underdelivering.
That is all that is worth talking about for this Weekly Seeth.

The fuck is he going to rebrand to? And why? He's too petty to do anything but politics. I kinda feel like thats him setting up an out for when the kirche/ace vid comes out and it turns out to be crap.

I think the consensus is that he's dropping the 'shortfatotaku' moniker. I don't remember him ever talking about anime or Japanese culture, and he probably wants to move away from the self depreciation of calling himself short and fat.
I think its less a joke, and more a strategy. There's a reason the overwhelming vast majority of Vtubers are women. If there's a succesfull guy Vtuber, he's either 1. Gay as fuck/a femboi or 2. Posts a shit ton of skill based gaming content like speed runs or doing to rank competative stuff. Meanwhile, a woman can get like a decent 5 to 10k following by just bumbling her way through doom levels so long as she's funny and the algo doesnt fuck them.
Could just be using it for the easy attention hoping people will stick around af they find out he's really a guy. And so long as he's honest about but not mentioning it every day, it might work.

If so then I hate to tell the little fag nut this but, thats a shit idea. One of the few things he has going for him IS the self depreciation. It majorly undercuts his own bullshit by at least appearing to have a likeable trait. Plus, Short Fat Otaku rolls off the tounge pretty easy. Only way he can change it is if he has something way more pithy and somehow loses a ton of weigh. Which, lets be real he hasn't
Fuck me he's going to rebrand by using a Vtuber avatar isnt he? It's the dumbest and gayest option. He can't lose weight, so he's going to hide behind one while claiming he is. And then hope the avatar will let him try to weasle into Vtuber inner circles for more gay ops and be degenerate. God I hope I'm wrong.

Sounds like the "Max Cool" thing Vaedo/Christopher Gesualdi did on his Xitter. Appearing like a 1980s cool-looking dude, where he's a fat greaseball. And of course, he's a nonce.
Dev was on a stream with Rags the zoophile, Creetosis, and Patrician (two video essay youtubers).
preservetube (can't local archive atm, not sure if it's even worth the effort)
I'm at work and haven't listened to it, but I'm assuming it's about the Oblivion body type fiasco and Nexus Mods fuckery.
