Anything that is just local hardware can be saved or copied to an encrypted cloud drive of your choosing, via VPN if that’s what you want.

You don’t have to use a security cam system that hosts the cloud storage, or acts as a middle man between you and a live feed.

There are local systems that can host remote access portals too.

These things existed before things like ring or wyze…

Just give them sensibly labels and tags when making them so they are findable and usable. Don’t fret over organization beyond that, it won’t improve your quality of life, go for a walk or something instead.

They are not ripe unless spotted.

They are over ripe if brown.

Those files are kinda a nightmare to navigate in their bare state. And the datasets are huge. I doubt anyone training AI would allow them to go through knowingly, less it was specifically a police invesigation and case law focused AI that was designed to process and categorize that kind of data.

Most AI are designed for functional discussion and factual data processing. It’s not a great idea to just feed in random trash.

Thanks. Been trying to retire my age old PS6 portable app for ages, and want to move to Linux full time, but keep having to go back. GIMP has always been so frustrating to use. I install it, then run away after trying and struggling to do basic stuff.

Maybe Photogimp will get me there?

Upvote for xnview, have you tried the MP version, or whatever it is. I think I run that now, but I have both installed still.

I actually just removed an old portable version that was just living rent free in my portable apps folder for years.

I have a Andoku, a sodoku game that was open source and had the perfect setup options for selecting and placing numbers.

It got sold, and new devs immediately added ads and broke everything. I think it’s some sodoku 3 with subscription options now. Been running it since probably 2013ish.

My SO and I play as a team across dinning tables in restraunts while we wait for waiters or food or whatever.

There are a lot of cultures where seating in public is ad hoc, you just sit wherever, you generally don’t claim a table or area to yourself. In those situations greetings and socialization are pretty normal.

I remember going out to eat fast food with a girl and her kid a decade ago and some homeless guy asked if he could sit with us. I said sure, and he was a nice maybe 50 year old guy. He had clearly been around kids and enjoyed the normalcy of just hanging out with the three of us for 30min. The kid didn’t mind, but the girl I was dating thought it really weird.

• Outlander (2008)
• The 13th Warrior (1999)
• Braveheart (1995)
• Gladiator (2000)
• Waterworld (1995)
• Escape from New York (1981)

These and a few other similar ‘epic’ movies were my go to lullaby movies for decades.

I’d put them on late and fall asleep to them, but I’d also watch them through sometimes too. And I still throw them on sometimes, just for kicks.

Yoti too.

They hold and verify ID, then mostly just pass an OK to the website or service you wanna access. Similar to Paypal playing the middle man when shopping and clicking Pay with Paypal.

They do also have the ability to share other details, but according to their FAQ it’s always with your permission.

Likewise Paypal will share your name address and email, but that’s often necessary while shopping.

Logging in to sites with Google or Facebook has a similar effect, the login prompts often have check boxes that allow you to control the data you share.

The biggest problem of course is that Yoti or other similar services then know what sites you’ve been visiting, and if they don’t respect your privacy and/or keep logs of those sites that information can be hacked or misused by bad actors.

Thus they should only keep age verification use logs extremely temporarily, or anonymize their logs if storing to track general system use patterns, for maintenance and research.

I have an email address and other accounts from the '90s that still exist.

I use the email for junkmail and Craigslist.

Stitching is a hobby?

Hola, they had an issue with bandwidth getting gobbled up, it’s resolved but reliability won’t return untill next week.

Their post about it is hosted on the service you can’t see because it has the issue they are explaining in the post.

However if you search the fediverse for fedinsfw there are posts explaining this elsewhere.

They actually fixed the issue with their service, but the bandwidth alottment was already used up. Connection reliability should return to normal next week.

It’s kinda funny not funny, the post explaining the issue is hosted on the instance you can’t access because it has that issue.

I was around 10.

The phonetic alphabet is so cool!

Honestly, I’d just create a new account/alias and carry on as normal. Maybe bounce around between a couple accounts on different instances, retiring any and replacing it if it gets too much negative heat.

Could always keep your icon or part of an alias name if you want them to be recognizable, but I wouldn’t bother personally.

Fresh starts are nice.

I got into a fight in a bar, and some guy showed up, intervened, then hung out and kinda insisted I follow in my father’s footsteps. I was like, meh, but I had nothing better to do, so I signed up.

You haven’t seen muppet porn yet…

Met at a place called Freak Manor.

They sat on me nude while people drew on them with permanent markers.
