Now that we know AI bots will ignore robots.txt and churn residential IP addresses to scrape websites, does anyone know of a method to block them that doesn't entail handing over your website to Cloudflare?

Hi,

I'm interested in setting up a small static-site-generator site. Looked at 11ty recently and feel pretty uncomfortable with the amount of javascript and "funny language" churn just to make some html happen.

Do you know of any alternative that's simpler / easier / less complicated dependencies? Or do you have an approach to 11ty that you think I should try?

Thanks in advance for any input, it's appreciated!

Happened a while back to me. I own an Android phone, but when I went to use my $200 in tickets to a local event, the app wouldn't display them. Contacted AXS support and they were explicit in denying any recourse or access to a paper ticket.

Just got my Saturn 4 ultra, and it just doesn't seem to be very good. I'm toying with the idea of sending it back and paying the restocking fee, but that's a lot of money (and shipping fuel, etc, etc) to waste.

Upgraded from a Mars 2 Pro and Mars 4, and I just can't believe how clunky the Saturn is. The build plate is too tall and too crammed into the case to make a decent tilting adapter, and a ton of resin gets wasted when removing parts. The touchscreen UI is almost as bad as the Mars 4, with horrible use of screen space (multiple prints with same name but different date at the end? Too bad, you can't see any part of the title past the first two words) and poorly designed features.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has this printer or a similar one figured out, and is actually enjoying using it.

I edited this video with Pikimov! It worked well, and was easy to use once I had chromium up and running.

This post is a follow up to vid.stab.

For general camera wobble it corrects nicely, though if the shaking is moderate the correction leads to some nauseating wiggling effect in the resulting file. I'm still looking for a way to fix that.

Here's the current shell script I use on the footage:

#!/bin/bash

ARG_COUNT=$#
INPUT=$1
VID="${INPUT%.*}"
EXT="${INPUT##*.}"

if [ $ARG_COUNT -ne 1 ]
then
	echo "Usage: ./stabilize.sh input.MP4"
	exit 1
fi

ffmpeg -i "$VID.$EXT" -vf vidstabdetect=shakiness=10 -f null -
ffmpeg -i "$VID.$EXT" -vf vidstabtransform=smoothing=30:zoom=5:crop=black "$VID.stab10_z5.$EXT"
#ffmpeg -i "$VID.stab.$EXT" -filter:v scale=1920:-1 -c:a copy "$VID.stab.small.$EXT"

I recently came across this guide for stabilizing video with ffmpeg, and it's been awesome to use!

I haven't even had a chance to try this out yet, but it looks interesting as a workaround for Linux users who are OK using Chrome/Chromium.

If you like video editing on Linux, you may want to check out SDF's own Peertube!

Openscad wanted about 25 gig of RAM to crunch this.
