We just received the Xenia sticker sheet from @Neotheta !!
They look awesome, can't wait to put them everywhere!! :dragn_aww: :neofox_floof: :blob_nom_trans:

(Featuring stick packs for @SharpLimefox and @Lugrim )

#Xenia

@novenary @lanodan Oh!

Alors pour le coup, si je me trompe pas, y a des procos de ces gens là aussi qu'on aimerait tester, je te redis demain si c'est le cas !!

Salut Fedi!
Est-ce que quelqu'aun aurait une carte mère avec un socket AMD AM2 et voudrait s'en débarrasser aux alentours proches de Rennes (ou Lyon ou Paris) ?
(Je peux aussi racheter si c'est raisonnable)

Le retoot vous souhaite de bonnes fêtes de fin d'année!

I'm looking for an "automatic" method to rate/compare the quality of 2 (or more) images which are detected as duplicates by other tools.

=====

Let's say, in my image dump, I have several images both in JPG & PNG, different resolutions & sizes. I'm looking for a method to determine which one is "best quality".

Usually, I rate this "by hand" by the following:

• Higher resolution first
• PNG > JPG
• File size

The problem with that approach is that some images are upscaled versions of the original, so maybe it has a better resolution, but it's blurry/JPEG-crustified...

At this point, a research on the web either returns:

• Dedup utilities => Not what I'm looking for, I already use czkawka.
• Online solutions (upload your images and get a comparison) => I want something that runs locally, and in worst case something I can self-host
• "AI"-powered solutions => Often online (see above item), or without any way to self-host.
• A few research article, but more focused around photography and rating the sensors capabilities, or satellite imagery.

If you have a solution for this, I'd gladly take your feedback.

And if that's a scientific paper/research article, I have no problem in attempting to code the described algorithm/formula into a tool to automatize the process.

The idea would be to have a tool that would tell me, between duplicates of my images, which one is the best quality (read, with the less amount of compression artifact, and higher resolution)

"What if someone compromises my smartphone?"
They'd have access to your SMS anyway?
"I'm not using a smartphone, but a regular phone similar to a Nokia 3310"
You're a statistical outlier and should be ignored :grr:

I don't get why so many people still think SMS 2FA is more secure than App 2FA.
One involves receiving a magic code from an external source, which nearly anyone can read given the right tools (intercepting SMS...), the other involves using local generation method using a secret key only shown once before, and without any way to guess the code at time t without having the secret key.

Unpopular opinion:
It is perfectly fine to use a less secure/not ideal chat app.
You can use Matrix, Telegram, Discord, XMPP...
But you shouldn't tell the world that it's the best solution ever. And you should be aware of the flaws of each solution.

If you need some specific use-case one chat service provides and the others don't, it's fine to use it!

For instance, I like using XMPP because it's a self-hosted solution, and it has a simple interface. It isn't an ideal solution, especially regarding encryption and stability, but it's okay for the use-case I have (chatting with other friends).

@snacks @meso I'd really like to keep a Debian to be honest.
I'm okay with experimenting on my personal computers, but I'd really want my personal server to have an OS as stable as possible, and Debian is my go-to for this.

@meso From what the website says, it doesn't seem to support more than 4GB RAM

Featuring up-to 4GB of LDDDR4 RAM

Hello Fedi!
My RaspberryPi4B just died (8 green blinks on boot, seems to mean "SDRAM Failure").

I'm looking for an alternative with the following requirements:

• Similar price range than the RPi4B 8GB
• Similar or better hardware specs
  • Has an ethernet port, SD/MicroSD card, at least 2 USB ports.
  • At least 8GB RAM
• Compatible with Debian and Docker (so ideally arm64).

Introducing "Bits of Knowledge" on my website!
https://xaselgio.net/posts/11.section-bits/

I often find interesting toots here on masto, or from other social media, and while they are pretty useful, I don't think they need a full blogpost.
On this section, I'll try to regroup these bits of interesting infos into small posts and share them, ideally with a link to the original source.

Don't hesitate to tell me if you'd prefer the reference to get removed, I'll try to ask authors before sharing!
