Komi-store: Android app store to install and update apps hosted on GitHub, Codeberg & Forgejo in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I'll stick with Obtainium. It's been around for years, it's proven itself, and it already does exactly what I need. Komi-store looks interesting, but to me it just feels like another shiny bit of shite trying to reinvent something that already works....

    I've personally never rented anything & I've always bought physical media. I hate the whole idea of never actually owning the damn thing....

    PHYSICAL MEDIA FOR LIFE !!

    I’ve used Firefox based browsers for as long as I can remember and I’d rather slam my dick in a car door than switch to garbage like brave. Every single one of those browsers is the same bloated Google-flavoured bullshit wearing a different fucking clown costume. Firefox is the only browser that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being rawdogged by corporate spyware every time I open a tab.. Piss on carpet !!

    GIMP rebranding as WLBR? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
    [–] 62 points 6 months ago (10 children)

    GIMP is GIMP. It’s been GIMP for decades, and that name carries history, recognition, and a community that built something genuine. Rebranding it to WLBR feels like throwing all of that away for the sake of optics that most longtime users like myself frankly don’t care about. It's not progress in any way, it’s unnecessary self-erasure. GIMP works, GIMP is known as such, and GIMP should stay exactly what it is....

    I used wget on Ubuntu to clone pages from piefed to build Zyke, a Reddit alternative in c/linux@lemmy.ml

    You’re nothing but a rat bastard who is scraping piefed.social to fill your own site with content so you can monetise it, all while driving up their hosting costs for your own benefit. That’s pretty low—have some shame....

    One distro for the next five years? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
    [–] 11 points 8 months ago

    I asked myself this exact question back in 2020 and chose Arch. At the time I had been using Fedora since 2017. What I ultimately wanted was a system I could install once and continually evolve rather than replace. Several years on, I’m still running that same installation and it has never given me a reason to reconsider....

    Depending on your computers specs & if it's allowed or not by your company.. You could always continue to use Fedora & run win-11 inside a VM with pass through enabled....

    Help with archiving profiles on loyalfans.. (lemmy.ml)
     

    Hey everyone,

    I’m working on archiving a few profiles from Loyalfans, but I’ve hit a wall with their CDN (CloudFront) security and rate-limiting. I’m looking to grab all media (high-res images, GIFs, videos, video thumbnails & audio), but the platform seems particularly hostile to bulk downloading. Has anyone successfully scraped/download a profile on Loyalfans? If YES! then how?

    The site uses heavily signed URLs with Expires, Signature, and Key-Pair-Id parameters. These seem to be session-bound or very short-lived.

    What I’ve tried so far:

    1. Manual "Save As" (Shift + Right Click): Result: Works for the first 10-15 files, then falls apart.
      The Issue: I’m running into what looks like a cache collision or rate limit. After a few downloads, the browser starts saving randomly previously downloaded imagese instead of the new one. It only resolves if I wait 30+ minutes, try again & then continue in this cycle.

    2. HAR Extraction & Shell Scripting: Result: Partially successful but extremely finicky. The Issue: I’ve been saving .har files from the network tab, then using grep to grab the CDN links. The problem is that the HAR often picks up thumbnails (_md.jpg, _sm.jpg) or pre-fetched neighbor images. Furthermore, if I don't run the wget/curl script quickly enough, the signatures expire.

    3. Selenium-based Python Script: Result: Identical to the manual method. The Issue: Even with headless browsing and random delays, the CDN eventually detects the automated behavior and starts serving 403s or throttles the connection, resulting in the same "duplicate image" cache bug.

    4. Vergil9000's Loyalfans Downloader: Link: https://github.com/Vergil9000/LoyalFans Result: Failed completely. I can load a list of profiles I follow, but the actual scraping/downloading logic seems broken or outdated for current site architecture.

    Many thanks for taking the time to read my post. Any help would be greatly appreciated ....
