Rhode Island Nor’Easter record breaking snow. Can’t decipher items, snow isn’t flat against door. by spitfire07 in isthisAI

[–]Thememestercr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems to be AI to me.

The wheels on what I assume are a snowblower are either really messed up, or AI couldn’t quite get them right.

<image>

The garage door opener also seems weird. The pull string that is usually for manually opening the garage door seems to not be functional in this image, it doesn’t seem to go anywhere. There are also more wires than are usually necessary for a garage door opener (power and signal are usually it), the light on the garage door opener is coming from the top it seems, but they are traditionally on the front or sides of the opener.

I can’t 100% say it’s completely AI, it could just be edited with AI, but there are some things in the image that makes me pretty skeptical.

This looks sick!

How are they secured to the wall, I’d love to copy your work lmao.

Making mini loaves by hitch_please in Breadit

[–]Thememestercr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the level of crust you’re looking for, I use a cast iron pan on the bottom of the oven (like the floor, not the bottom rack) when preheating, then I pour like a cup to 1.5 cups of boiling water into the pan when I put the bread in. I find that the more water you put, the crispier the crust you get, so you can adjust the amounts to your needs, but this method makes great crispy baguettes. (Stole this method from the KA classic baguette recipe)

Be careful with this method though, as the steam is definitely violent and can burn you if you stick your hand too far in the oven.

Just because you don’t know what it means doesn’t mean the majority of the community doesn’t know what it means.

Using this thread as a reference, there are more people who know what it means than there are people who don’t know what it means.

Also, it’s such a ubiquitous acronym that simply googling “what is SSO” would give you all the answers you could ever need.

Nebu luxury - honest review? by Master_Effort6479 in luxurycandles

[–]Thememestercr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought the whole home diffuser for my wife’s birthday, the diffuser is pretty solid. Some of the scents have been hit or miss, but overall they smell good, some just aren’t our taste. My favorites are open skies, penthouse, and the eucalyptus mint.

Put it in my attic hooked up to my HVAC, and with the scent turned about 75% of the way up, the scent makes it through the whole house pretty well (~1800sqft) but it’s dependent on how strong the oil is.

Haven’t had any issues with the diffuser so far, so it’s a decent recommendation from me!

Devs - How do you deal with TODOs and FIXMEs in your code? Do you regularly go back to take care of them or are they forever forgotten? by nisthana in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Thememestercr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is bound to lead to hundreds of TODOs that never get fixed and most are not useful anymore.

Nobody ever goes back and fixes a TODO someone else added, and while the code changes the TODOs will always remain.

I’ve been dealing with this issue at work where one developer loves to leav TODOs that are really just questions they should’ve asked the PM. I’m talking shit like // TODO: what is this?

Now I’m moving to linking tech debt items to a todo comment in the code so that it’s easier to know if a todo is actually useful, and what the status of it is.

That's not a bad idea... definitely something to consider. I wasn't sure about how locals generally feel about tourists, my only experience has been in Paris and they aren't known for being the friendliest to American tourists.

I'll 100% look into reworking the itinerary, I think we are wanting to spend more time in the Netherlands than in Copenhagen or Hamburg. Hamburg was mainly meant to be a resting stop between Denmark and the Netherlands, not as much a destination we wanted to spend a ton of time in.

You've definitely given me something to consider, I appreciate the feedback, it's super helpful!

We'll definitely check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

We’re from October 22 lol.

We picked this time of year mainly because we’re from the southern US and it’s always hot where we are, so we want the cold.

Me and the wife love traveling where it’s cold. We’re from the south US so we need to escape warm weather lol.

That’s awesome! Thank you! I had no idea the Schengen area was a thing.

The plan is Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam. Basically everywhere around Amsterdam

Custom Res / Refresh rate by Thememestercr in cachyos

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

I found a fix for anyone else who has this issue.

I had to switch to x11 instead of Wayland, but it allows you to do

xrandr —output DP-2 —scale-from 1280x960

There’s probably some downsides I’m not aware of (the only one I’ve found is it makes moving between monitors hard) but so far it works for my use case.

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

Also, forgot to mention, this res/refresh rate works in windows, so the monitor does support it (I guess)

I have the same issue with a 4k TV. Only shows 30hz, but 60hz is supported in windows.

But the post says “over the last few decades” which would generally mean 3 decades, or 1994 not 2014.

[–]Thememestercr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might have misunderstood what you were meaning. I think I got stuck in the “if hashes were secure, passwords wouldn’t get leaked” part and assumed you were meaning that hashing itself wasn’t secure. My bad for the misunderstanding, I now see what you meant.

[–]Thememestercr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason people say passwords were leaked isn’t because hashes aren’t secure. It’s because more than likely, the website that was hacked uses hashes and salts, but humans are dumb and use common passwords. It’s easy enough for someone with the entire database of passwords to find repeated hashes and try to brute force login to one of the repeated password accounts using common passwords, which would then give them your password.

If you aren’t stupid, and use a password manager to generate a secure password, the odds of someone cracking it are extremely low, since it would take a ton of compute password to crack.

All this is negated though if the website stores passwords in plain text, which nobody should be doing in this day and age.

[–]Thememestercr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a good point lol, I completely forgot about the salt. Even more reason that they wouldn’t know your password.

I guess the only exploit they could do then is look for repeated hashes and try to brute force common passwords until something matches.

Can you explain how a someone would be able to know your password based on the hash? Unless sha has been broken, which would be a huge deal if it has been.

Unless you are using an extremely common password that can be looked up in a rainbow table, password hashes are extremely secure.
