It has about 10 non-beta languages, and even amongst beta and non, the language is not available. Unfortunately. I would use it if it were. Thank you for taking the time to reply though.

Mock me, or teach me.. but.. I use it still because it's very easy, quick, and good.. to use the translate page functionality.

Yes, I am also aware that Firefox has some technology (in the works?) that will do offline translation even. Cool.. except I still have yet to find a good, easy, fast, accurate translation feature for Firefox. There are some extensions, but none are as good.

For what it's worth, I did try this out. Downloaded the little Bing desktop enforcement app and everything. Also on the phone. Signed in on both. Returned to the 'access' faster page. Nope, just same old 'Do this process to get it faster!'. So it was completely pointless. Unless they mean, jump the queue, and it's in a couple days? But it doesn't _say_ that really. So I dislike this little thing they pulled here. It could be biased too, as I was recently reading about this: Five Walled Gardens: Why Browsers are Essential to the Internet and How Operating Systems Are Holding Them Back. https://research.mozilla.org/files/2022/10/Mozilla-Five-Wall...

Jealous. I have been trying to 'configure' my own local summarizer. As I find the ChatGPT limitations on length to be frustrating. For example, I wanted to take a transcription of a troubleshooting session with user and support agent (me). I wanted a summary of what we did essentially, overall. But doing this with ChatGPT takes so. many. copy/paste actions. I just wanted to give it all, and say, get a summary of every 5 minutes.

Secondly, this lab needs to stick around. It makes me want to subscribe, just for access to this.

So, there is this tool: <https://pypi.org/project/ocrmypdf> OCRmyPDF adds an OCR text layer to scanned PDF files, allowing them to be searched or copy pasted.

This mentions cross-platform usage and seems simple. Is there some way to use this with Obsidian through a plugin? If so, please create a GitHub project and send us a link! :D

Just for reference, I found it with a list of a ton of other tools: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/301318/how-to-ocr-a...

I have messed around with Tesseract a bit, and at some point, I was able to turn a PDF into a text file. I was thinking of doing that and having them as markdown files which are tiny compared to the original. Then keep the Original elsewhere. I've been playing with another PDF system I'm not willing to give up on. :D

Point is, I think I can bring more dimension to my Obsidian or Markdown library by having 'txt' copies of pdfs. The search and tagging alone would be so handy.

Burnernote.com ? I think you meant?

Oof... right in the feels. Are... are we old now?

I don't see anywhere about their 'files' system either, how much storage is allowed or any kind of limitations. This is concerning..

Oh hey.. Roomba scanning for illicit drugs on your coffee table. It sounds ridiculous, but that thing is a literal camera roaming around your entire house, with machine learning.. so..

They also reference some further alternatives from another article recently, which I also thought had some interesting options:

This was on Ars Technica really recently. I have not used it myself yet:

I wouldn't use Facebook as a pillar of privacy.. in any way shape or form.

Further, they are looking into doing something similar as Apple:

I saw your comments and I was thinking to myself.. "They should have one for Regex (regular expressions). That would be a cool way to learn it."

Apparently someone did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ TIL

This ^ Also, as someone else mentioned, use your own brain to think about how this particular method would work for you. Hell try it. Doesn't mean it works for everyone, or that someone else doesn't have another better method. But this is our area of interest as 'hackers' and hacking learning might be the format which better appeals to someone over another.

I have always wanted to do something with satellites. Especially with SpaceX and global satellite internet coming. What can I do/learn? What will be valid in the next 5-10 years? I'm not sure where to start.

Right? And a 3rd of them? That's a lot of people.. think of all the properties and inflated rents in areas where people could have gotten long term homes.

ha.. haha.. haaaahahahahahahahahah No but seriously, Airbnb what were you thinking.

As someone newly trying to learn DNS, I don't _use_ 8.8.8.8 personally. So I was confused at first why they kept offering it up on the page. It might help in the first reference to it, so say 'Google DNS' along with the 8.8.8.8

I do. I know it has a reputation, but I have found Reddit has some great communities, interesting and helpful people, and a lot to explore and experience. Sure hanging out in /r/thedonald or whatever is going to be a toxic experience. /r/unixporn? Not so much. :D

1). Getting started.. write content or videos about something I am passionate about? Just.. specific? niche?

2). How can I best stay true to the format? Like what is your top 10 always make sure to do this.. and not that, etc.

3). What can I do to differentiate myself? Speaking well? Or do I need a hook?

I am interested in taking this route, and I have some ideas.. I just don't know where to start. Those links and things help, so thanks for that.

Where can I find something like this? I have been trying to get my new system working and it's a bit frustrating.

Noni! Well stop messing around with silly phrases and let those poor hamsters be.

Even finding photos or sorting and tagging can be such a chore nowadays. It's also a privacy nightmare if you want to store photos online. God forbid you accidentally upload/archive some photos you did not mean to or realize were in your photos folder..

What VPS? How is your B2 so cheap?

I feel that something like backblaze personal backup is a good option. It's great if they have some local backup drive for this additionally (3-2-1), but it's pretty bulletproof to have unlimited online backup storage for your parent's home PC. From accidentally deleting a file, to a house fire.. everything is backed up outside the home. Just have it back up from the time they go to bed normally, and the time they wake up, and they won't need to do anything or worry about it. Plus, it's affordable af for what it is. My 2 cents.

This is great! I know ZERO about CSS grid, but this taught me something and very straightforwardly.

Chrome, without any extensions is not that bad. It's when you add all the extras to it that it starts to get more and more bloated.

Interesting, if not a bit short and sweet. I'd like to see some solid examples of what people can do, or have used. Especially in a home user vs small or large business for example.

I'm surprised people haven't mentioned
