Re:Safari introduces Adaptive Dark Mode in 27.3 on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @08:24PM (#50360483)
Not sure if you would like my dark mode modifications to HN, but here are my CSS[1] and JS[2] modifications.

Is this because they have full access now to the front door?

ComfyUI is similar to Houdini in complexity, but immensely powerful. It's a joy to use.

There are also a large amount of resources available for it on YouTube, GitHub (https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI_examples), reddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/comfyui), CivitAI, Comfy Workflows (https://comfyworkflows.com/), and OpenArt Flow (https://openart.ai/workflows/).

I still use AUTO1111 (https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) and the recently released and heavily modified fork of AUTO1111 called Forge (https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge).

Re:Why You’re Angry at Netflix on Wednesday February 22, 2023 @01:24AM (#34892329)
I live on the same property as my parents in a separate house with separate internet connections. Their house is less than 30 feet from me. We share the same physical address. Yet according to Netflix, this would not count as family sharing because of our separate internet lines.
Indeed it is; the UX/UI is also better compared to the low density of information with the new design.

It doesn't output color though, only B/W.

Re:iPhone 14 Pro Camera Review: A Small Step, a Leap on Tuesday November 01, 2022 @10:04PM (#33430619)
The workflow of Darktable gets me confused compared to Lightroom/Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw tool; there are so many options and features that it can be overwhelming. Capture ONE from my experience delivers superior RAW decoding vs. Adobe Camera Raw, but I still use ACR.
You mean like the OP's comment saying, "Ask yourself, are you trying to use the damn printer or you want a possibly educational rabbit hole to go down." Why are you being a contrarian when you're agreeing with them?
NiceHash is what you're looking for.
Re:Amazon acquires MGM for $8.5B on Wednesday May 26, 2021 @11:14PM (#27298964)
Get a seedbox and download the files over sftp from it. All your ISP will see is a large transfer, no file names or knowledge of content.
Re:Amazon acquires MGM for $8.5B on Wednesday May 26, 2021 @11:13PM (#27298953)
You can use a seedbox and then download via sftp. The seedbox is exposed and the service takes the piracy notices.

This eliminates exposing your IP from torrents and the file being downloaded.

For a site like HN, I'm really surprised at this discussion.

It's transcoding that is troublesome on the RPi and can be worsened as the resolution/image quality increases; Direct Play(stream) via Plex may alleviate that pain point, but your stream-playing device needs to be able to decode it directly.

My Xbox One S for example can decode most streams with Direct Play using the Plex app (or all using VLC).

Here[0] is a recent update from a Plex Team member about their knowledge of and intention to fix these issues, no timeline though.

Confirmed here as well.

Corsair K70 with Cherry MX Reds; I enjoy the feel of reds but would definitely like to get a version with blues or browns as my typing style causes them to bottom out more than I’d like.

Despite what was mentioned I find the keyboard enjoyable to use.

Re:Show HN: Gmail Classic – CSS for Reverting Gmail's New Look on Saturday November 17, 2018 @08:52PM (#18478462)
That makes a lot of sense. I forgot about the A/B testing Google does. Edit: I noticed that Chrome defaults to using the new design even while logged in.

Logged in on Firefox though I’m not seeing the new design . Not sure if that helps anyone having trouble with the extension.

Re:Show HN: Gmail Classic – CSS for Reverting Gmail's New Look on Saturday November 17, 2018 @02:52PM (#18477044)
My experience is anecdotal of course but what is broken about it for you?

It is working fine for me on Firefox 63.0.3 (64-bit) using ViewImage 2.1

I’m excited about the upcoming _true_ cross platform play coming mid July/August.

You will be able to create a new in-game gamertag; it will require re-adding friends but I’m really excited to be able to finally play remotely with my friends!

Thank you for sharing that powerful video with me. Makes my liking of Patrick Stewart (the only true Commander of the Enterprise) even stronger.

He's such a kind, caring and eloquent man despite his upbringing.

I'm watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi_27bpIb30 now to learn more about his life.

Agreed, I've long since stopped blaming either of them.

It sucks that they did divorce however my brothers and I turned out just fine by her raising us.

I see a psychiatrist and have talked plenty with her about my childhood and growing up.

From my posts it may come off that my mother is a terrible person and that's so far from the truth. I love my mother and would do anything for her.

She had to play the role of mother and father (something any parent would struggle with). Sacrifices she made to raise us still amaze me to this day.

Mom involved us in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to be around male mentors (and it helped a lot). We had the support of Big Brother & Big Sisters for one-on-one interaction with male figures.

We never went without under the care of my mother, however we were in poverty and she constantly was trying to make ends meet every month. While we weren't homeless like in your situation, it was still very much a struggle.

I learned very early on the difference between wants and needs.

> In a nutshell: Infidelity doesn't destroy a relationship. Instead, it grows out of serious problems within the relationship.

Yup, she was co-dependent on him and he was a workaholic mechanic.

There is more to the story than I have said:

My father had a serious cocaine addiction (he is clean now); that combined with his workaholic nature (at the time) caused him to not be around my mother as much as he should have.

She wished he would be around more with her and the cheating on him seems to be the side-effect of that issue.

Those were the starting points of the relationship problems and they only worsened from there.

My mother's mother ragged on her a lot about every mistake (big or small) she happened to make. I believe this caused her to have a hard time trusting her decisions and lowered her self-esteem.

The codependency with my father and his lack of being around due to working (to help provide for us) was definitely a factor in her cheating on him; it seems to be a common problem of those whose significant other isn't around as much as they should (or would like them) to be.

Thanks for the thoughts on healing, it's definitely a struggle.

Re:A.I. And Big Data Could Power a New War on Poverty? on Tuesday January 02, 2018 @10:24PM (#16058057)
So because my mother cheated on him it's his fault for leaving...get a grip.

If my father had cheated on my mother I'm assuming it would still be his fault if she left him; that seems to be the gist of what you're getting at.

Once a cheater, always a cheater. We grew up poor because my mother cheated, not because of my father leaving.

And we grew up poor because my mother relied entirely upon my father for financial support and negated that benefit by cheating.
