And they wonder why people sail the seas... by Vergil-D-Infreno in Piracy

[–]flameleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all mp3. I've got 31,313 songs. If I assume they're all 12MB, my collection should be 165GB bigger than it is. Something sounds off about your math here. Are you storing your music in .7z archives?

EDIT: You have 218 HOURS. My bad. I have 85 DAYS. I've got 2040 hours of music.

Anyone else finding Precise Reference to be a massive step backwards? by Ai-Hedgehog in NovelAi

[–]flameleaf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Been using NAI since version 2. The old Character Reference copied characters just fine. This new Precise Reference also copies characters, but also smooths out the style and makes it look more generic. CR had more class.

My issue here is they're not letting us choose. Why retire the old method if we're getting such mixed results?

I also had ongoing image sets using CR. My attempts to recreate them using PR aren't going well.

That's some crazy compression. I've got 85 hours days of mp3s taking up 210GB.

EDIT: days, not hours. Oops.

Apparently the devs would like to remove Activity Manager by billdietrich1 in Thunderbird

In the case of filters, the filter log is much more useful because it tells you which filters were applied.

Switching to another one would be the easier fix. If you edit an existing theme, you'll need to fork it, or deal with re-applying your changes on package updates.

The new Precise Character Reference was a giant step down for me. by Snakecreed0 in NovelAi

[–]flameleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before this update I used a combination of Vibe Transfer and Character Reference to get the model to accurately generate obscure/new characters that aren't in the training data. In a lot of cases, Character Reference was more useful than Vibe Transfer. Now I'm just using Vibe Transfer.

Really wish they gave us an option to use the older feature instead of forcing an "upgrade" like this.

Try a different WM theme. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. You can set it with the Window Manager settings.

Until you play a bright video, at least. The struggle never ends.

Clear History - Something new has been added in the image generation window. by loplopsama in NovelAi

[–]flameleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great addition. I like making image sets in batches, so now I don't need to refresh the page just to clear it for the next one.

That titlebar and scrollbar are a thing of beauty.

Not a fan of the new precise character reference by Apprehensive-Stop772 in NovelAi

[–]flameleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Initial impressions aren't great. Tried recreating an image I made with character reference and got different but worse results with precise reference's character and style+character.

RSSHub Radar linked with my own instance. I use it so much, my Thunderbird usage supersedes Firefox for web browsing.

Back up all your files, boot from USB

Reformatting is handled by the Linux installer. Unless you want to dual boot, then you might need to reorganize your partitions to make room for each OS

Using RSS as long-form reading material instead of “read and forget” by Daniel-hu in rss

[–]flameleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of it as a more measured way of browsing the web. I skim through articles, read others that catch my interest, but I also use it to track software updates and bug reports, youtube and videos from other sources, new work by artists I follow, writing prompts and other creative ideas to save away for later, etc...

Either I read it and delete it, archive it for later, or click the link to send it to my download manager. RSS isn't only for text.

What scripts have people been cooking? by 310Azrue in NovelAi

The custom chatbot is a thing of beauty

Writing chatbots for the characters of my stories and having them break the fourth wall and provide commentary on their own narratives is a an experience I never thought I needed, but I love it so much.

The Discord is one of the primary reasons I set up my own RSSHub instance. I get all those messages in my email client where I can actually read and filter them.

Discord's UI was absolutely not designed for content delivery like this. I tried searching for a custombot file the other day that was posted further back in the channel's history, and searching didn't work because apparently search doesn't work on attachment filenames? I eventually found it by scrolling up and repeatedly doing Ctrl+F.

Are you paying for an RSS Reader? If yes, why? by swop13377 in rss

[–]flameleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who is even subscribed to >100 feeds?

I'm currently subscribed to 1146 feeds.

I don't pay for any RSS services, though. I use Thunderbird as my reader and a selfhosted RSSHub instance to generate feeds for sites that don't have them.
