From my notes. Maybe it's useful to someone. Not comprehensive as there are other brands and other iterations I'm sure. Many dpreview.com sample galleries show original filenames. Some forums list filenames, youtube descriptions can list model names, pdf manuals and manufacturer websites sometimes list the names. There isn't really a good list of these that I know of. ○ Apple - IMG_0001 ○ BlackMagic Design - A001 * C…

Nikon defaulted to DSC_0001 for some time now, may still do but I don't have any Z series gear to check.

In my notes the Sony section was listed Sony / Nikon, but there was non-Nikon pattern in there and I removed the Nikon label to reduce inconsistency. Then I didn't update the Nikon section to include the other pattern. :) Should be fixed now. If you notice anything else, let me know!

A little bit tangent, and I'm definitely looking at it from rose colored glasses... but been playing with it for the 30 minutes, and most of the videos look so real? Like when you go on TikTok / Instagram nowadays, there are obviously unlimited amount of content. But there's this sense of everything being edited multiple times, people trying to create their own "brand", nothing looking real. It's a shame how we over-…

I was on tiktok in 2019/2020 and for a brief period it was just ordinary users messing around and posting whatever they felt like. No tiktok shop, very few ads or thinkpieces, nobody was trying to build an audience. A lot weirder and a lot more fun

TikTok's vine era. Sadly gone.

> YouTube automatically removes harmful or violent content, so what remains exists in a unique, almost paradoxical state: forbidden, yet harmless. What exactly is forbidden, by who? I don't get the use of that word there. Also, anyone who doesn't know the "before" and "after" search operators is missing out on some excellent nostalgia-trawling similar to what is described here. "cat before:2007" -> 2005 to 2007, the…

Hey! My intention with this sentence is to say that although the content is publicly available, the viewer may feel like they're still "not allowed" to be watching it.

Others in the comments articulated this better than me: > I understand that these videos were made public, but still this kinda feels like violating people’s privacy. They most likely never intended for us all to watch their personal videos a decade later.

I tried to distill it in a couple words in the blog, bc I didn't want to harp on it. In retrospect, I could've explained it better.

or be free-prey for ravenous AI bots Have you recently been on X?

I think your parent comment is talking about AI bots consuming the content, while you seem to be making a point about AI bots posting content.

There are thousands of bluecheck AI bots that just copy-paste/regurgitate or just make up stupid content and post it continuously to get engagement views and money.

It is really worse than before.

Somewhat related, this list of names is useful to generate these casual real looking images using images generation models.

It was discovered recently with Flux that using just IMG_1234.jpg as a prompt gives you a very casual photo like images.

There are browsers extensions for this. I can't recommend one because I don't use this anymore. On Android this would mean using Firefox or another browser allowing extensions. Or you can give a YouTube address to MPV with the --no-video parameter. Or use NewPipe or one of its forks and open the YouTube kink with it in audio only mode. Or use invidious, but this last option is harder and harder to use. Or yt-dlp -x t…

Background playback just works with Firefox on Android with no extensions required.

Hey, OP here! This is my first ever HN post- I appreciate the warm reception. A couple hours after posting this on my site, I found this incredible vid of a woman telling her partner she’s pregnant. Incredibly heartfelt, and only 16 views https://youtu.be/refKFdcojlE?si=l-PssLVYmmOPjjjA It was posted over 10 years ago. I wonder if the family even knows that this video still exists.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepIntoYouTube is a reddit sub to bring up videos like these.

The website http://astronaut.io/ does a similar thing but for recent videos, and not just from iPhones. From the home page: > These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you). At one point you might be at a school recital in Malaysia, and the next minute you a…

http://www.insecam.org/ is another fun one. Random unsecured security cameras from around the world.

There's something magical when one location becomes the default for something. A site like this would be impossible if YouTube wasn't the place for videos. It's why I'm sad that we no longer have one obvious default for microblogging. It was such a rich source of thoughts. That's all gone now.

And the former default is no longer developer friendly. (Or friendly to anyone else, really.)

Youtube certainly isn't developer friendly.. their APIs have very strict limits that often force people to go down the scraping route
