@cp2000 The 3 white things are WiFi smart switches (well... plugs). The ones for the cable equipment are tied to the WiFi on the DSL line, and the ones for the DSL line are tied to the cable WiFi so that I can remotely reboot one network at a time from anywhwere. The bigger white thing I think is a scam. It's supposed to somehow modify the wave frequency of the hydro (electric) service to reduce your bills, but I think they're a blatant scam.

@doobiedeluxe Just gave OF-Scraper bash curently scraping my first account. So far it works pretty well once you get it running.

terabytes of porn here

@eobox91103 thanks for the award About your findings: Windows itself does not “fence off” or reserve disk space based on a file's self reported size. Most torrent clients do not pre-allocate by default. Instead, they create sparse files: files that have a full logical size (e.g. 30 GB) but only consume disk space for the pieces that have actually been downloaded. This means nothing prevents you from starting two 50 GB torrents with only 50 GB free, both will download simultaneously until the disk fills up, at which point they will fail. For example: You have 100 GB free You start downloading a 10 GB file At 50% completion, only ~5 GB of disk space has been allocated You still have ~95 GB free Even though half the file does not exist on disk yet, when reading the file, NTFS returns zeroes for the missing regions, as most user-level applications cannot observe “holes” in files, including Windows Explorer. There are backup tools that can copy sparse files exactly, without zero-filling the sparse regions. When you copy such a sparse file using Windows Explorer, the copy process reads the entire logical file: Real data for downloaded pieces Zeroes for sparse regions Those zeroes are then written to the destination file, causing full physical allocation. The copy is no longer sparse and now consumes the full disk space. So when you say that copying folders to backup drives doesn’t waste space, that’s true for completed files. But copying an incomplete sparse file expands the holes and wastes space by filling them with zeroes. In normal backup workflows, this is not a concern because completed files already have their full data written. Logical size and size on disk will naturally be very close. For complete files, the Size on Disk will usually be greater than the file size itself, things like the file name and path length can increase the size on disk by a few bytes, for example. So in short, I hope you're not backing up incomplete files, and if you're not you're all good

i organize all my porn manually by category using folders and in-name tags, and manage it using Everything to index properties such as length, resolution, bitrate, etc. Amazing for finding even the most random of videos and to spot duplicates: [image: 1753755134352-30cf5fa9-8b2f-4ad8-926f-1c841b23d6e0-image.png] [image: 1753755206005-c3092650-37e1-426a-bf4a-cd756dd273bf-image.png]

@amelia I do not have any cracked versions of Capcut nor do I think they exsist from what ive seen. The monthly sub is cheap for how powerful the software can be in my opinion. Capcut should have the free version with face mosaic that is the best free option unless it recently changed - that is automated face blurring with face mosaic the overall best version available in my opinion for this particular thing would be PowerDirector... AI powered automatic face detection with blurring options - whether its in the free or paid version im not aware sorry. Thanks

PotPlayer has built-in thumbnail creator. It's a bit awkward to use it for multiple videos, but it works.

@Nbasder9 I would just load the video into capcut and have it auto generate the captions with AI... easy breezy and quite good.[image: 1745820582490-cappp_1768-apr.28-02.09.jpg]

@cp2000 JBOD is something that can be done through your motherboard BIOS (on most mid- to high-end ones) and most multi-disk storage enclosures also have it built-in. However doing it that way also has drawbacks, because it is done on a "hardware" level, below the filesystem. Your storage controller (whether it's the one in your motherboard or in the enclosure) doesn't have any notion of files. It just sees storage devices as having a bunch of 0's and 1's on them without any understanding of what the data means. This prevents it from providing some of the more advanced functionality you might want in your storage solution (file sync / duplication etc) and also means that a single file could potentially be split across more than 1 disk. What you most likely want is a more high-level software solution. Personally I'm a Linux guy so my experience with Windows solutions is somewhat limited but as far as I know StableBit DrivePool is hands down the best option in that category. It is unfortunately not free (one-time $30 purchase) but then again, since you are on a torrent site you might not be averse to some piracy. I would highly recommend checking it out. You will probably find it's exactly what you're looking for.

@eobox91103 Syncback is definitely the best free option in my opinion. Or get the MAIWO Dual Bay RAID Enclosure with two identical drives and have it set to RAID1 it mirrors automatically for you and alerts you if one drive fails. Thats the easiest but can limit space unless you get larger drives

I'm gonna be honest with you @jayjay2-0 Digital watermarking is a real thing, but it is very expensive. Its financial viability depends on the amount of content produced versus the number of clients. More often than not it is not viable. Another studio that claims to use this technique is RFC, and their videos keep popping up every week. There is one case in particular involving the platform JFF, they noticed that there were specific creators being leaked almost simultaneously, they investigated and narrowed it to one single account that was subscribed to all the mentioned leaks, they started serving digitally watermarked videos exclusively for his account, and later more leaked videos surfaced, and they matched with his account. This is a more reasonable use case, if they were to do this for every subscriber it would cost more than they make with the subscriptions. So long story short, I call it cap, Bel Ami say they do it, but I doubt it's true. But it's possible, and the embeded data usually includes the user ID and IP address. If you use your own credit card and access the site without a VPN, there is a risk of you being traceable.

@Femalite said in JustForFans downloads: Just wondering if anyone knows a way to download videos from JustForFans? Seems every "app" or "extension" has me blocked. I can grab the files with one firefox extension, but the encryption just gives me a black/green corrupted video stream. Thanks in advance. I can help you with that. Just give me the link to the video you want to download, and I'll send you a link to the downloaded file.

@lololulu19 said in How to download Youtube video?: @manrmen-0 how do you transfer videos from your phone to your computer? Use a USB cable. Or cloud services. Dropbox has free 2gb. Or use a usb c flash drive that can stick to a phone. They have those models where there are 2 ends, a usb c and usb a
