  • I read that you’re manually tagging them, so your process can be whatever you want to do.

    For example, you can leave the images in their current folder structure and create a separate folder structure with symbolic links to an image, so in the character folder would be symbolic links to all the images like that. They also don’t have to be unique, an image can be in multiple categories.

    Alternatively you can use a spreadsheet and generate lists there.

    Finally there are plenty of photo album applications that allow you to tag images.



  • Your modem will likely keep connection statistics which will tell you how much data was downloaded and uploaded.

    Ookla speedtest.net will give you an indication of your network speed. I have a cron job that logs the speed with their cli client every 5 hours and I use it to keep my ISP mostly honest.

    The resulting data can also be used to map peak network congestion so you don’t end up with network buffering issues when you are watching the latest episode on your favourite streaming service.

    Trying to Explain my Sexuality to my Dad

    Me: Okay, so I would identify as bisexual.

    Dad: And that means you would have a male partner.

    Me: Yep.

    Dad: Or a female partner.

    Me: Yep.

    Dad: And that means you’re bi.

    Me: Yep.

    Dad: So that means if you don’t find a partner you’re on standbi?

    Me:

    Me:

    Me:

    Me: Did you just

  • As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?

    I’m asking because over the time I’ve been here, I’ve noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.

    I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it’s two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.

    I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.

    Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.




  • I experienced this crazy onslaught of advertising to the point of reducing how much I watched YouTube. I was pretty upset and not at all inclined to pay, especially since YouTube was even putting ads on my own videos without me seeing a single cent, because my channel is too small.

    Then my partner bought me a few months of a Premium Subscription as a Christmas gift.

    It was pointed out to me that I watched more YouTube than any other streaming service which I was paying for.

    Combined with background music on mobile, it’s changed my life.

    I’m still unimpressed with the business model, but the alternative is so far worse.

    Find me a self publishing video platform with the reach of YouTube that doesn’t require self hosting and I’ll happily move my content there.




  • Things to consider:

    1. Moisture and Humidity.
    2. Heat.
    3. Verification of operation.
    4. Theft.
    5. Hardware reliability.
    6. Cost per image.

    A raspberry pi is not the type of device I’d recommend for this due to its reliance on a microSD card for its os installation. It will likely fail due to many read/write cycles. Replacing the card with a drive causes increased susceptibility to 1 and 2.

    Consider the cost per photo as a metric. In the scheme of building a house, the cost for even a $1k purpose built solution is insignificant.
