I usually joke that the hardest problem in computer science that is not yet solved is sending a file between two devices.

Email baby!

Doesn't fit the requirement of "between two devices". Email involves a lot of other servers on the way (pure network devices like routers doesn't really count I guess) :-P

I'm so glad these videos are still on there. As much as I consume youtube now, this brings back memories of when it was literally "YOUtube". Truly a glorious time!

Mastodon is a walled garden

iiuc your argument, it would be more accurate to phrase it as: mastodon, lemmy, and other federated social protocols are like archipelagos of small islands. Or, you were referring to bluesky.

Mastodon contains several sub federations that near automatically ban each other’s users… So a very tribal and extremely violent archipelago of small islands…

Very heartwarming. I have an "android named" video uploaded to YouTube a few years ago, and because there is copyrighted background music going on (which I didn't realize at the time) YouTube is threatening to delete it. I don't know if they will or not, not sure when they put the "will delete" tag on it. My late wife is in it. She died recently. I didn't know that video was still up there until I read your post. And…

YouTube now has a new feature to replace copyrighted background soundtracks with free ones automatically, using some AI magic to edit the movie while preserving views, links, likes, etc.

Very nice feature, though I haven’t used it myself to say if it works as labeled. It should be an option now when you get a violation warning.

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…

Very funny.

>I think IMG_ is pretty unique to Apple You'd be thinking wrong. Canon cameras also use the IMG_ format. It's been a while since I've dealt with GoPros, but I'm pretty sure they are IMG_ as well. While it's nice to hold onto what you know from experience, extrapolating that to end-all-be-all knowledge is just not a good stance. Especially in the light of information from people with wider breadth of information.

> Canon cameras also use the IMG_ format. That's a sweeping statement that is definitely not true for all cameras Canon has made.

So even if some Canon cameras do use the format, that does not negate my comment. The EOS line of Cameras like the 1D, 5D, 7D, etc definitely do. I'm looking at content from them now. If they have changed that with their mirrorless line, that still does not invalidate my comment.

This site has the cookie permissions dialog which has "reject all", but I think this rejects only the "opt-in" cookies. The "legitimate interest" cookies, which are equally comprehensive but are on a different tab, are not rejected by this, and to reject them you have to turn each one of them off by hand, scrolling down a massive list. If you select "reject all", the dialog instantly closes, I think with the legitima…

I think usually the standard wording for this option would be something like "Reject all non-essential cookies" and they left out the second part of that sentence. I'm not saying it's OK but maybe it's a mistake that was done in good faith.

GP is alluding to the fact that several tracking networks will place their cookies in the "legitimate interest" category, because the rationale is that them making money by monetizing user data is their "legitimate" moneymaking interest.

There's not a lot of good faith in that, and it's arguably not valid according to GDPR.

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.

In Korean age, this kid is 11 already and about to turn 12!

You used to be able to do something similar (probably still can) by using common URL patterns for insecure/unauthenticated security camera feeds. You could even use google to find them! I loved the late 00's/early 10's web.
