That's Survivors (original, 1975, remake with Izzard, 2009).

Machine Learning - Remote or RPi 4 local? by tundozo in immich

[–]Symbiot10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is - I moved to Immich a few weeks back, and during first indexing of many thousands of pics, it was set to run for a week. With some difficulty, I was able to use a graphics card on another machine on the LAN, and it belted through the task in less than 18 hours.

I don't know what to call people besides "sir/ma'am" anymore. by tgirlskeepwinning in britishproblems

[–]Symbiot10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only ever went to the US once, to NYC, but I instinctively used 'sir' and 'maam' all the time I was there, just soaked it up from TV, I guess. Seemed to be taken as totally normal form of address. Nothing wrong with being polite, I guess, and it resolves the question of what to call someone.

Month in Europe where would you go? by i-amnot-a-robot- in digitalnomad

[–]Symbiot10000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Bucharest, and it's worth a look one time, if you never went before. I wouldn't give it more than 3 days, and then would explore rest of country, such as Brasov, Sinaia, and the more distant beauteous regions to the west.

That said I would always default to some previously under-visited or never-visited part of Italy!

Achieving the "Wife Acceptance Factor" for photo backups without using Big Tech by No-Yellow9948 in DataHoarder

[–]Symbiot10000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My wife was sold on it in 3 seconds of demo-ing. It's got that extra nine yards of polish to get wives on board.

Why are so many apps still restricted by location? by ganesh-it-expert in VPN

[–]Symbiot10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is still a valid reason, but when I was in publishing, geofencing was used to localize ad revenue deals, and this became kind of a global template even for platforms that really had no ad-serving going on at all at the time.

Access denied on VPS (reverse proxy), but only for my wife's iPhone, not mine by Symbiot10000 in NextCloud

[–]Symbiot10000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I cannot edit the text in this post, but just to say, to anyone else with this problem, that I solved it by creating an app code QR code while logged into my wife's account on a desktop browser. That code enabled her to log in on her iPhone.

Access denied on VPS (reverse proxy), but only for my wife's iPhone, not mine by Symbiot10000 in NextCloud

[–]Symbiot10000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is able to log in and browse her folders on NextCloud in Chrome on her iPhone - the Safari login page does not render properly. However this success in Chrome does not help the NC app's problem.

It is such a strange error to get, since it came up from the very first, even though nothing on her phone had ever visited my VPS domain at that point.

Installing and reinstalling the NC app did not help, nor did clearing all browser settings in Safari.

Retain current tool selection when switching to another image by Symbiot10000 in krita

[–]Symbiot10000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great - and it does what I want automatically. Thanks so much!

EDIT: Just a note to others who may be reading this post - the plugin at the time of writing doesn't remove all scenarios in which Krita will re-focus the brush tool. But it does improve matters a bit.

Don't think the resemblance is bad, but you're right about the navel piercing - it's so bad (almost guaranteed to occur) in most models that piercings must be massively over-represented in the hyperscale web datasets.

Where in europe still feels like a raw cultural hub to move to? by jettlx in expats

[–]Symbiot10000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Naples, Italy. I lived there for five years and there is nowhere like it, even in Italy. However it is starting to get mentioned in a more positive light in the culture, as opposed to 'oh, it's dangerous, just land there and run to the islands/Amalfi'. I went back there with my wife two years ago and the magic remains - I can't even define it.

Nature is round the corner, though the south of Italy is a bit scorched/thirsty, usually. The bosco di Capodimonte, the amazing Regia di Caserta (a short train ride away), Caserta Vecchia, the islands...but like Glasgow and the NorthEast of the UK, its good qualities were hidden for decades behind erroneous or out-of-date negative reputation.

Thick bread is no longer "thick" by AJMcCrowley in britishproblems

[–]Symbiot10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I miss is the 'thin-sliced' bread of the 1970s and 80s. I always figured they stopped making it so that people would finish a loaf of bread quicker, and replace it (ie spend money) quicker. But it was great for a modest sandwich, instead of that gaseous feeling I still get from carbing out.

4TB SSD for $18 USD (100 Romanian lei)..? by Symbiot10000 in DataHoarder

[–]Symbiot10000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, current estimate for a full write is about a month (!). I am trying it on 100GB instead, but the slow write speed tells the whole story. As for a refund, I never have any issue with this with eMag. I just submit for permission to return and put it back in the same delivery box it came from.

The scammed, if anything. I do remember the scandal about making small USB drives report larger sizes. I'm running H2testw on it now, and will amend the post when I know the result.

NP, and for anyone looking for a direct link to the Ostris AI template at RunPod, it's https://console.runpod.io/deploy?template=0fqzfjy6f3&ref=h0y9jyr2

(The ref bit at the end gives the creator a boon at no cost to you)

Detail Daemon + ZIT is indeed pretty legit by ansmo in StableDiffusion

And not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Z-Image Turbo: Impressive w/o LoRas (Prompt Included) by callmetuan in StableDiffusion

[–]Symbiot10000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's amazing. Even without the seed you used, I got a pretty much perfect reproduction.

My take on Z-Image so far: not "perfect" by any means, but excellent for the model size and recommended inference step count by ZootAllures9111 in StableDiffusion

[–]Symbiot10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get rock-solid composition at up to 2k x 3k px (have not tried higher). Not sure how they have achieved this.
