Trying to scrape a wedding gallery website for wedding images, what software would you suggest?
  • Before scraping I would verify that there is no HTTP API that you can use to craft requests instead of scraping from the website. These might be higher quality than what you can scrape. If there is no easy to use http API, go to scraping then. I would generally consider scraping the last option, unless it's a ridiculously easy website to scrape.

  • Anyone here heard of Wikifunctions, and if so what do you think?
  • I'm not exactly sure what to think about it, but I do like how there's specific things that have their implementation in code right there. I did only look at the site for like a minute, so take that with a grain of salt.

  • Linux Server OSes?

    I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

    I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

    How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money
  • You can make nice little self watering pots with a 3d printer and the right filament.

    Those extending swords are really fun.

    There are also 3d puzzles you can make.

    You can also print models you'd like to paint as minis. You just need the model, sandpaper, primer and some paint.

  • Feedback on open source royalty license?
  • I love this idea. I feel like a shakeup with licenses is needed. I wonder if you could consult a lawyer then ask some larger open source projects if they would be willing to adopt the license?

    If it's identical to GPL or MIT for small licenses, but forces corporations to give back to the community, it's only fair.

  • Learning to back up my messages

    I've been looking around to find a good, privacy respecting way to sync my messages between phones. I decided I'm going to use SyncThing so I don't have to mess around with a server. The only problem with this is that I haven't been able to find any apps that work on modern Android that routinely backup and import messages from a file/folder into the messages database. Does anyone know any app that might do this?

    I've got a domain but whats next?

    I recently purchased a domain for myself as a why-the-fuck-not purchase and I need some ideas for what to put on there. Some ideas so far include: Small Blog Personal S/FTP server to sync back to Minecraft server

    Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks :)

    [OC] Kindle

    Smooth breath

    I beset from your bated breath

    Unless the stress that's given to me clear

    Resides unfound and unclear

    The key to my restitution lies in recognition

    Opaque and sticky, defiance. Then remission

    Upset and overreliant on bad positions

    The lever's balance is set on a dud pivot

    Problems unseen stay while shit thickens

    While the root is left untapped

    The branch kindles

    [OC] Untitled poem of mine

    When the words barely whisper

    And the songs known forgotten

    When the seldom well wished

    And a stone throw's the bottom

    When the once well trodden

    Is soiled down and sodden

    Accept the well wishes of ones who once wished

    And song without a singer like food without dish

    And sing those well wishes to your brother on a lake

    Stoning throws, hitting water, showing off for the sake

    Best fuzzing tool

    I'm trying to find a good fuzzing tool for testing my web applications and was wondering what people would recommend. I'm trying to find one that is open source, free, and doesn't use proprietary stuff. It seems like Google's OSSFuzz is the closest option to what I'm looking for, but it uses Google cloud :/

    Runtime Profiling in Rust

    I've been trying to find something that allows me to see performance visualizations in my rust programs, but I haven't found any so far. I'm looking for something that's like SnakeViz in Python, but for Rust. If there's a better way to get about doing this, I'm all ears.
