Feel free to read the README, this was already an ability that startups could pay for using private premium proxy services before thermoptic.

Having an open source version allows regular people to do scraping and not just those rich in capital.

Much of the best data services on the internet all start with scraping, the README lists many of them.

They can't? I've run many free independent sites for years, that's news to me.

Thanks!

Thanks :) if you have any issues with it let me know.

Good news for curl users: https://github.com/mandatoryprogrammer/thermoptic

Yep, that's an example of what the automated scanning looks for. You can see a very similar example in the slides: https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2032/DEF%20CON%2032%20pre...

It's just because I did this talk and made FindThatMeme :) so not a popular method, just what I used to do large scale OCR.

Yes I definitely want to improve the search to be better. It is currently very text heavy and I (only recently) got image similarity indexing working. Hoping to leverage this to do something like you mentioned!

I'd also like to figure out how to turn an image into a description of whats in it. My ML/tensorflow knowledge is very weak though, so I still have a lot to learn here.

The image similarity search is probably a blog post of its own.

Short TL;DR: It runs off my home server running a large vector database (opendistro): https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/knn...

Nope, you can use it totally offline. No way of getting banned as far as I'm aware.

Thanks! Comment made my night.

Yep, this is exactly what I'm running on the raspberry pi LB. Nginx makes it super easy!

Author here: KnowYourMeme is one of many sites that memes are continually ingested from (any site that has memes I try to ingest regularly) :)

What kind of app? I'm planning on releasing a developer API soon so people can integrate it into their own bots/services.

Thanks!

Well I just added it :) so you should be able to find it now. If you find any others feel free to upload them!

Considering your replies to other saying the same thing I doubt providing that would change your mind.

Sure: https://twitter.com/iammandatory/status/1211796789013159937?...

Would really recommend against them, had some random user report my domains and lost all the domains I had in Namecheap because of it.

Their support basically ignored any evidence to the contrary and let my domains expire and be sniped by other buyers.

Plot twist: this post is a smokescreen for this person working remotely from home and needing to automate their U2F key pressing

> The real story here is Twitter's lack of spear-phishing training for their support staff, not support employees have access to support tools.

Spear-phishing by its very definition is a highly targeted attack. I wouldn't count on any level of training to prevent someone from getting phished. Given some of the spear phishing campaigns I've seen, I wouldn't trust even myself not to fall for them.

It's a problem that needs to be solved with technical solutions like hardware U2F, locked-down customer support devices (e.g. Chrome enterprise policy managed ChromeOS devices), and special account VIP/anomaly locking and auto-escalation.
