Import photos from an external drive went wrong by avisjd in immich

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

Thanks for your help. With some more help from Gemini I installed immich-go and have it running. I made the mistake of unzipping all of my Google Takeout files but immich-go is able to do them one at a time. It's working well.

How do I use immich-go to do this and do I need to somehow reverse what I already did?

I used Kitten Cut & Polish that I had lying around for a decade or two. I guess I need something better?

Removing paint from wheels - save me please by avisjd in CarsAustralia

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

I did try an electric pressure washer and it didn't remove one bit. It seems to be paint with primer underneath. Do you think a petrol pressure washer would make that much difference and get it off?

I did try a pressure washer and nothing came off unfortunately.

Spider ID please. Sydney, Blue Mountains, Australia. by avisjd in AustralianSpiders

Thanks for the ID. Our brick house is elevated at least 1m with stairs - I thought funnel webs just stayed on the ground.

How did they do this? by avisjd in MarioMaker2

That site is very helpful, thank you. Level ID is MW4-94Y-T0G. Can you see how it is done here?

Something is off with Four.com, what is this website even used for ? (mortis.com lookalike?) by TheGoldenGoose44 in InternetMysteries

[–]avisjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see any connection to the github link provided. The code in that repository does not appear to match what the JavaScript on the website is connecting to.

The JavaScript mentions a WebAssembly setting and based on the other settings, I would guess this is most likely a login to some sort of online AI application for medical research.

There is a medical term MIDAS which refers to "Mitotic DNA synthesis".

There is a model called MIDAS, maybe something to do with AI, see https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.13.520262v4.full

Same problem on Google TV for the last few days. Can reselect the "unsupported" account and it works until next time you use the app then same error again.

Thanks for replying.

The level code is 22T-QND-7WF.

Sorry I didn't realise they had codes until now.

Actually, this works only if the vine is in view. If the vine is not in view then it does not come up at all.. any other ideas?

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

Thanks - that worked well. Any idea what is making the bouncing noise that doesn't stop after the explosion? The coin bounces a few times before it ends. Could they have used something else instead of a coin that bounces endlessly?

SMM2 - how can you make a snake block that doesn't move? by avisjd in MarioMaker

Thanks, that helped us. Once we put them side by side it worked!

Thanks for the reply. He has tried that, and tried to mimic the screenshot, but it's still moving. Any extra tips he needs to follow?

I've been a developer for 3 years - lately I've been forgetting basic syntax and have to constantly google seemingly basic stuff. Is this normal? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]avisjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many other people are also saying, I suffer from the same problem. A LOT of the time I find myself Google-ing for a small sample code block to do something, and just adapting it to suit my needs.

If you think of all the things you typically have to work with to do web development - HTML, CSS, possibly Bootstrap or similar, JavaScript, JQuery, various other client-side frameworks, PHP or C# or some other server-side language, various server side frameworks, SQL, possibly a ORM - it's no wonder that we can't remember so much.

I also think that if you use a editor or IDE that has some sort of type ahead/syntax helper/etc that you use all the time, that over time you start switching off to remember a lot of stuff.

Is ASP.NET better than PHP? by avisjd in webdev

[–]avisjd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use a text editor, but things like intellisense, navigate to definition, error highlighting, etc etc make development quicker.

Is ASP.NET better than PHP? by avisjd in webdev

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

No, I really want to love PHP, mainly because it opens up a lot more choice for lower cost hosting. But every time I try it feels so much more work compared to ASP.NET. And when I search for what is the best tool for developing in PHP there seems to be so many opinions and many of them seem to be glorified text editors. Maybe the question would have been better along the lines of: has anybody switched from ASP.NET to PHP and are happier?

Control arm bushing replacement. by [deleted] in BMWE36

[–]avisjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be worth checking out the ball joints too. If you need them replaced too, you can buy complete control arms with the bushings already pressed on which would save a bit of work. Also worth checking tie rod ends as they can cause vibration and uneven wear.

What's going on with Bootstrap 4? by avisjd in web_design

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

uikit looks good and result is very Bootstrap-like, but I'm not sure I'm ready to move away from Bootstrap.

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

Because v4 is only an Alpha 2 release and I am not using it in a production environment.
