As always, I do image processing. I'm a G'MIC filter developer. Recently, did some code changes to my combinatorics tools to be insensitive to multi-threaded strategy.
I use the G'MIC plugin for GIMP, it's really good
Ah.. GIMP. I love GIMP I use it myself to draw sprites and UI for my games and I've used it for my social media recently!
I have no idea what that means but I think it sounds pretty cool! Anything about image processing is always fascinating to me. Especially these days when AI has become more popular and it can even draw images. It's cool how technology evolves!
pretty cool!

Free tech tip: turn off auto updates on your servers so that you always run proven and stable software :3c
I have to appreciate linux and the people who actually make changes in open source code.
Trying to write a solver for Fortune's Foundation tarot solitaire in Python
Something tells me I'm going to abandon it not even halfway in, like most "projects" I do
I get the feeling when you abandon all of your projects. It's cool to come across another Python dev nowadays since everybody(including me) has moved on to game engines such as unity. But when I still made my games in python it was pretty fun, but the glamour of 3D developing pulled me to the mighty Unity. Python is amazing and fun language!
I crawled multiple defunct story sites years back and now I'm finally building an index and UI for them.
A set of scripts that download Chaturbate videos, also keep track of what's currently downloading, give a history of what's been downloaded, and automate recompressing to HEVC.
I'm workshopping ideas for a new GUI for it, but don't know where it's safe to ask NSFW programming questions.
You can leave out the NSFW parts. What you're downloading doesn't have to be mentioned.
I'm not good at describing things, but I'll give it a try. Thanks
Yeah, a video is a video.
Just a reminder that reencoding already compressed videos is a recipe for destroying the quality, unless you’re using a very high bitrate, which quite often gets you the same size as the input video.
I think the consensus is that if your video isn’t 4k or higher, there isn’t much gain in using HEVC if it is already H.264.
So if you want to store them long term, reencoding them now means that if you decide to do it again later (for whatever reason) you’ll have too many artifacts accumulated.
I'm currently working on a minimal spam protection system that uses a proof-of-work mechanism.
I recently read about something similar called Anubis. Is it related?
Ogrim is influenced by ALTCHA. Taking a quick glance, Anubis is a similar solution with some differences of solving the same problem:
- Anubis sits between the target service and the reverse proxy, while Ogrim sits behind the target service.
- One Anubis instance is needed per service, while a single Ogrim instance can be used for multiple services.
- The target service does not need integration with Anubis. On the other hand, Ogrim and its services must be integrated to work.
- Anubis will block search engine indexers, affecting the SEO of the target service. This is not the case with Ogrim.
