You may be interested in the German name for a type of rusk, “Zwieback”, which literally means “baked twice” (though with archaic, fossilised grammar)

This Phishing email... What is the IP? in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
[–] schuelermine@leminal.space 3 points 1 month ago

I was surprised to find that this doesn’t work at all.

For instance, 300 is considered a valid IP by e.g. Firefox, typing 300/ into Firefox will navigate to http://0.0.1.44/. I was expecting this to be interpreted as just Σ 256ⁿ × dₙ mod 256⁴. But it isn’t, Firefox won’t accept this (it performs a web search instead). Neither will curl (which tries to look up a domain by this name).

Find similar images and videos (leminal.space)
 

I’m looking for FOSS software that runs on Linux that’ll search a directory for similar images and videos, incl.

  • almost identical images or videos
  • images or videos that are a lower quality version of another image or video
  • images or videos that are a crop of another image or video
  • videos that are a trim of another video

I don’t want it to choose the best of these and delete the rest, but output a machine-readable report of the files that I can process myself with a shell script or something like that.

The use case is that I’m compulsively downloading memes and other images such as promotional art or even background photos from social media and websites all the time, and until recently I mostly neglected organising them. So I want to start that process by eliminating the duplicates.

It’s important that I keep the info on where the original files were since I did occasionally do small feats of organising, like specific folders for specific things, and I’d like to prioritise moving them into these specific folders even if a higher quality version exists elsewhere.

Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” in c/technology@lemmy.world

No, it’s been renamed in January 2025. This is not a new change.

The Media Refuses to Call Trump’s Venezuela Attack an Act of War in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] schuelermine@leminal.space 4 points 3 months ago

I think this is not necessarily the case, the article could be interpreted as calling these “acts of war” from a colloquial standpoint, which is a judgement informed by the fact that we know now that the USA performed the kidnapping. It’s not necessarily saying that these acts should’ve already been called acts of war back then.
