Something that worked like a booru, bit locally, would be really slick. Even moreso if you could import tags from booru, e621, etc posts.

There's an echo here.

That aside, my new air cooler with heating function has so much undocumented aspects...I wonder if one day it will be illegal to go that wrong.

You can run boorus locally. [github.com] Shimmie was the simplest when I was looking at it years ago. [github.com] Danbooru is open source too, but is kind of overkill. Gelbooru last released their source a long time ago, but a lot of sites still run a fork of it.

I am pretty sure someone has told me this exists already. It can rip twitter too. I forget what it's called.

I do basically that but a "lite" inefficient version where the only database is the filesystem itself.

I do also have a perceptual image hasher that I can run to find visual near-dupes, and a script that I can invoke for groups of similar images that can do a checksum on those near-dupes to automatically make hardlinks if they are actually bit-perfect identical.

Anyone would know if there's a way (probably with javascript, with an userscript) to make the thumbnails in the left show when hovering the left side, displaying above the rest of the page (thus not destroying the page order and all), and hiding when going out of the now shown thumbnail area?
This is the general idea, another mean to toggle on/off the thumbnails without losing the current page could work too.

I supposed it was better to ask here than in Userscript index, For non-HV scripts since it was a request on something already existing.
If I supposed wrong, tell me so I can repost this in the right place.

Maybe I should repost that somewhere else, minus the nonsense from the fact the post got moved from wherever I posted it initially, and maybe with some rewrite (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Can the airport's xray scan effect data integrity of a desktop hard drive?

Can the airport's xray scan effect data integrity of a desktop hard drive?

Theoretically yes.
In reality, an SSD would be significantly more vulnerable, and neither one is especially likely to be impacted. If we were using 1890's X-Ray tubes, which put out unholy levels of radiation, maybe it'd be a bigger concern.

Most of the X-Rays would be blocked by the metallic casing on an HDD, anyway.

Film was damaged by the x-ray cameras.

Traditional hard drives could be damaged by metal detectors.


As mentioned modern x-ray machines are less likely to cause damage to electronics. Older higher powered x-rays could theoretically damage flash ram.

Every time I try to display an image in OpenGL 2.1, I somehow manage to fuck up.
It's just a quad with a texture. Really, just about any sub-3.0 OpenGL version is what I need because my laptop doesn't support 3.

Trying to do it because I figure that'd be a faster way to resize images than mcomix can do currently. But I have literally never done any OpenGL programming before. Unless you count a simple shader for 3.x (I don't).

This always seems to happen until I know at very low levels how something works.

Maybe I should read the old OpenGL "red book."

BTW, I don't care about the fixed pipeline. If anything it might make things simpler for me to understand at first.

1. Install the greasemonkey or violentmonkey addons on your browser.
2. Open the script. you will get a prompt to install it. Confirm the installation.
3. You're done.

Not mentioning tampermonkey, based.

I'm glad (but not too surprised) you noticed the omission. You seem an enlightened sort.

It was indeed intentional.
[gitlab.com] I write a lot of user scripts, and I check licenses, so I know that one hasn't been free/open since the early 2010's.
Even then, it was for an inferior browser.
I'll mention Firemonkey since it's also an acceptable option.

While I have you here, thanks for all the doujins.com stuff recently, btw.

Thought: I've been trying to cross-compile seamonkey 2.53.10 for PowerPC for the last 6 hours. I've gotten it to start building, and gotten rust stuff to compile, but now I'm running into assembler problems (probably due to code rot and no one checking if PPC32 works). Going to keep trying to sort things out. I last tried this (and succeeded) in 2018, so I have been running 2.49.3 on my debian powerbook for almost four years now. I hadn't tried again before now because it was a complete pain in the ass to get a chroot set up with all the libraries the powerbook wanted that had a cross compiler inside it. Doing it outside of a chroot would be even worse.

I have a feeling the seamonkey developers (or mozilla developers) have been assuming nasm for some time.

Also, the headphone output on the powerbook is much nicer than on my Thinkpad, even if it compensates for that by putting the cardbus slot as close as humanly possible to its connector (so using an 802.11n card and headphones are mutually exclusive unless you are trying to listen for data packets). The dac/amp on the thinkpad would be excellent if it had a little more gain. It's a very weak (but also very clean) signal.

I referred a web dev to the vanilla-js.com "framework" and they didn't even seem to realize it wasn't a "framework."

Was looking at a screen recording I did of the end of freenode last year. It was a fun time.

Nickserv was offline, so someone else became nickserv.

About five minutes later, everyone on the channel got ops.
The server stayed up about eight hours after this.

I had an Internet breakdown for more than 24 hours, so I was worried about the consequences on H@H.
Pretty minors in the end (trust is at more than 900 and quality at more than 9000, just lost the free quota thing).
Also got the auto-PM with that:

If this is expected, you do not have do anything. The client will be automatically removed from the system unless it is started up again within the next six months.

Oh it is 6 whole months. Hopefully if my Internet is ever down for so long, it's because I'm dead (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Because of my current living situation I can't easily open ports and can't dependably connect via VPN, so I still haven't been able to do H@H.

Some day™. I'd really like to be able to actually help in some more meaningful way. Without having to figure out crypto currencies, preferably.

I just saw a sick Mercedes 190E wagon in white. Amazingly clean, with period AMG wheels.
</boner>

Bought some used Sony MDR 7510 while half drunk, ended up getting new ear pads (the tall leather kind), and a threaded 1/4" adapter a couple of reviewers claimed fit their MDR 75xx cans.

Damn, nobody added WinHelp (recorded under this name on wikipedia) to alternativeto.net
And yet anyone trying to install/use an old enough windows game/application would probably want to look for an alternative.
There's a trick to re-enable the use of the help to some extent, until an update break it and require reinstall, if it hasn't changed, but whether an alternative existed making it easier, or whether it is confirmed no alternative exist (yet?), that information could have been made available by now.

The open-source version of winhlp32 from Wine also works on Windows 10. It is included as part of WineVDM.

I think I have a qt-based program to view them too, but i don't honestly care enough about this windows shit to find it.

Edit: you are in luck. it came up when i did ls|grep winhelp in my source code directory.

Though you'd have to build that one from source, and my impression is that you aren't one to do that.

Mozilla is starting to break the GUI and functionalities in ways that should have never ever been seen in Firefox ESR (since ESR is sort of supposed to save you from that until a "big jump").

Just use FF 89 like me until it's no longer viable.

Just went through updating my patchset (view image in current tab, clicking url bar does not select all) for FF 97, attempting to build it out of total lack of sense of self worth. We'll see if it builds and runs or if they've lobotomized something else my patches depend on.
