in a pinch yes you could boot it up grab the stuff you need and send it wherever. Again, it's been a while since I've had to touch any of their stuff, but the BCDR devices were one of the best backup appliances I've used, they had file shares as an option amongst a few other methods to easily recover data through the backups it's taken.

Testing DATTO backups?

blargbluuk 3d ago • 100%

you don't have any control over the VM specifically for those emails or w/e. If it's still a thing, Datto used to let you log in to the control panel and boot a test vm of the backup image to verify manually if need be.

It should be sending an email with the results every day, we have some older ones still doing this (we moved everything else away from datto one kaseya acquired them). Or at least that's how ours works.

Decky state he was harassing people. He states he wasn't making racist or bigoted comments and has no idea why it was removed. Kinda strange.

Who ever her Guardians are should have warned her or not provided these products.

Maybe they did warn her, or didn't directly provide the products, kids are a bit more complicated most of the time.

bulk / spam postings across the site

Just curious if anyone else has noticed (I'm sure some have) posts that some accounts make across an enormous number of subreddits lately. I stopped using Reddit for most of things when I joined Lemmy but my partner posts NSFW stuff there still since the community for that in Lemmy is still quite small, and occasionally we see accounts making thousands or more posts across an ungodly number of nsfw subreddits. It's almost always promotional spam (OF, etc) and more often than not it's blindly posted and either doesn't follow the rules of the subreddit or is outright inappropriate for it (e.g. posting to specific kink subreddits while the post has literally nothing to do with that kink). Some of these accounts even seem to automatically reply to some comments with what appears to be chat-gpt type comments and usually it's super obvious it's a bot. In my mind I figure this is just some shady service paying for reddit's API access and charging these clueless "creators" to promote their stuff across the entire site. How effective that actually is in generating leads for their OF, etc I would be very interested to know but it's probably minimal, maybe not, I dunno. Anyway, I did a very brief search online for services offering this sort of thing but didn't come across anything. Just curious if anyone knows about it or how people are getting onto these braindead posting services. Not looking for links or anything just thought it was interesting (if not frustrating spam) for a discussion.

I think you need to link to the direct gif itself, the link you have is actually to an mp4 though so I don't think that will work but otherwise it should be in this format: ![alt text here](image or gif link here)

Does anyone have any tips on how to post-process or enhance an AI-generated image?

If you're using Stable Diffusion you can do things like inpainting or img2img to change things - ymmv

subtitles on max

Hey, just curious if anyone's had any experience saving the subtitles from max.com recently? I can only find old info about it being an xml file when it was HBO Max and that no longer seems to apply. I've tried a couple random utilities (Subtitle-Downloader, ttml2ssa) and can't seem to make any progress. If you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it! edit: Like with most things I seem to do, as soon as I post about it I actually start digging into it more and figure it out. So anyway, here's how I figured it out: I used [The Stream Detector](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector/) extension in firefox, start the stream up on max.com with subtitles enabled, then monitor the extension until it shows a vtt file. Then I download the vtt file using the extension and can convert it to srt using [ttml2ssa](https://github.com/Paco8/ttml2ssa) and use it normally. edit 2: alas I discovered that downloading them this way will only download up to a certain time in the video. I haven't explored further but I imagine I'd have to go either play or seek through the video to get it to trigger the next vtt file which I could download (I haven't confirmed as of yet). May update again if I figure out a better process for this (final hopefully) edit 3: doesn't seem to be an easy way to automate this but what I ended up doing is using the stream detector extension in firefox, configured to automatically download vtt file extensions from streams, then just open the video on max, scrub through roughly every 9-11 minutes to get the each piece of the vtt file, they're named sequentially at least. Sometimes it will grab duplicates so I just wrote a quick powershell script to delete the duplicates, and rename the files based on the episode name. Then I convert the vtt to srt, and finally I use [Subtitle Edit](https://www.videohelp.com/software/Subtitle-Edit) to join the srt files into a single one since the time stamps are all correct. Then I've finally got a usable full subtitle file to use.. yay..

How do I share stuff nowadays?

If this is the wrong place to post please direct me elsewhere of course. I've been less active in torrents etc for a the last couple years so I think I'm probably out of the loop on this tbh. I have a couple of TV series/versions of series I'd like to share occasionally but it seems so few of the public torrent sites accept submissions (or require you to be a big name or upload a certain quota per month etc), I'm not sure where to post the torrents. In the past I had anonymously uploaded at TPB but that doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. Any advice/suggestions?
