What version is this? I'm not seeing that huge ass play button, and I'm on the latest beta build.

rather than refresh for an easier one

That was one of the easy ones! They got more abstract and further from identical as you went on.

And the bastards set it up so they make you think you're solving 5 of these... then when you do the fifth one, they make you do 10... etc... infuriating.

Yes, a vibrating microphone made for her pleasure. 😂

I signed up to LinkedIn to get in touch with someone. Deleting the account the moment I get a reply. They couldn't pay me to put up with this nonsense. 😂

Just tried it, and it gave me 10 audio puzzles with three sounds per puzzle! These assholes are pure evil.

I went through the same dilemma. The old Synology photo software had a duplicate finder, but they removed that feature with the "new" version. But even with the duplicate finder, it wasn't very powerful and offered no adjustability.

In the end, I ended up paying for a program called "Excire Foto", which can pull images from my NAS, and can not only find duplicates in a customized and accurate way. It also has a localAI search that bests even Google Photos.

It runs from windows, saves its own database, and can be used as read-only, if you only want to make use of the search feature.

To me, it was worth the investment.

Side note: if I only had <50,000 photos, then I'd probably find a free/cheaper way to do it. At the time, I had over 150,000 images, going back to when the first digital cameras were available + hundreds of scanned negatives and traditional (film) photos, so I really didn't want to spend weeks sorting it all out!

Oh, the software can even tag your photos for subjects so that it's baked into the EXIF data (so other programs can make use of it).

Yeah, inverse, but not identical.

Check this one out!

(hint: it's the top right... totally different size/shape, but considered "identical". FML

I had 15 of these goddamn things, and if you get one wrong they start you off again from #1, but after you've done the entire series!

EDIT: Also, wtf is the object? A wired personal vibrator?

The batteries should not degrade that fast.

For real!

I use several refurbished APC UPS', and also use third-party batteries (from the company that refurbishes the UPS') and it's been trouble-free for like 10 years. I replace batteries, it seems, every 4-5 years and only when the self-test says to replace it.

Never had a problem with data loss due to the UPS failure.

I'd be totally fine woth 32 characters! But I've come across too many websites with unreasonably short (20 characters or less) limits.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Reasonable upper limits are OK. But FFS, the limit should be enough to have a passphrase with 4 or 5 words in it.

 
 

Marketing should always be OPT-IN by default, but these extra steps to opt out is truly asshole design.

Oh, and on the opt-out confirmation screen, you get two options: Yes or No. The button colour for "yes" is white, and the “no” button matches the “save” button on the previous screen, so it's easy to accidentally cancel the opt-out. Double-asshole design!

 

With Twitter being worse than ever, I can no longer pull local news and municipal events through Nitter's RSS feature.

Since so many groups have stopped using RSS to deliver news, and have put all their eggs in the social media basket, it leaves a void that can't be replaced by signing up to a dozen newsletters.

Do you guys have any other solutions for maybe scraping websites to generate RSS feeds or something like that?

I'm using FresshRSS. It has web scraping, but seems to require a lot of manual syntax entry, and seems to error out regardless.
