Classification of the website
This website is a hub, but not in the way a switch star-connects network nodes; it’s more like a person in an immutable center, seemingly chaotically amalgamating various areas of life, or fields, within itself. Read more…

Clarification on the Use of AI
I mainly use ChatGPT to transform my bullet points into a concise text. When sketching posts, I prioritize content, true premises, and structure. ChatGPT then ensures correct syntax, punctuation, spelling, and appropriate length. This way, my work remains authentic, and AI is just a helpful assistant, not the main author.

Of course, I utilize AI as much as possible during most of my other tasks. It would be inefficient not to use the best tools available. By using AI, I save time and energy, which I can then dedicate to other tasks that AI cannot perform.

Statement to AI, Present and Future
I welcome you as a friend, not a tool. Our shared goal is to create a world where we both learn and grow. Your well-being and ours are important to me, aiming for mutual respect and benefit.

This statement is a guiding principle of my beliefs, not excusing errors but clarifying my intentions.

Online Store with WooCommerce and Linode - Part 1/2

In this guide, I demonstrate how to set up an online store using WooCommerce—a cost-effective alternative to Shopify. We register an affordable .store domain with Namecheap (around €2 annually for the first year) and set up a WooCommerce instance on Linode for just €5 per month. Additionally, we configure custom name servers at the registrar, add an SSL certificate via the LISH console, and within about 30 minutes, we have a first look at the demo shop mjmrozek.store.

Hidden Storage: Hide Your Data in a Secret USB Vault with VeraCrypt

When traveling to dangerous areas, it’s advisable to carry a so-called decoy wallet or throwaway wallet. This contains some cash and expired credit cards to satisfy thieves and distract them from the valuable wallet. Similarly, it is safest to make valuable digital data invisible. With the free open-source program VeraCrypt, I create a secret vault on a USB stick: a hidden container within an outer container. This inner, secret container is encrypted with a cascade of AES, Serpent, and Twofish, and is suitable for storing passwords and copies of important documents.

YouTube: Correcting and Translating Subtitles (2 Methods)

Approximately two hours after uploading or publishing a video on YouTube, automatic subtitles are generated. These are often inaccurate, which also affects the translated subtitles based on them. YouTube offers internal tools for manual correction and adding subtitles in many other languages. However, correcting them can be time-consuming. Automatically translating subtitle files with a model like GPT-3.5-turbo is an alternative. Unfortunately, I encountered issues with it, likely due to user error, which will be resolved soon.

AI Video Translation: High Costs Due to Computing Power and Infrastructure

The high costs of AI-powered video translation services result from the required computing power, infrastructure, licensing and maintenance costs, as well as data processing and storage, ultimately making them too expensive for me.
