   Deleted my account for "advertising"

   Former blogger for Second Life virtual world. ~ Had my account revoked after I was told my blogging was "advertising", even though 100's of other users do the exact same thing. Years of work down the tubes. Will never use it again. ~ Note: They are doing this to push for "PRO" memberships, because the company is hurting for money.

• Instagram alternatives for promoting business, now that EU laws messed it up?

  Is flickr.com still alive? It used to be so cool back in the day, but I dropped off from photography in general over like the past decade, so have no clue how things are going over there. Source: over 2 years ago

• 20mm or 35mm prime lens

  20mm will look wider on your Z6II than your D40x but it should look the same as it does on any other FX body like the D780 or the D850. Go on flickr.com and search for photos taken with 20mm lenses. You can type 20mm in the search bar. Make sure you look at photos taken with full a full frame camera. If those match the look you are going for, go ahead and grab the 20mm. Source: about 3 years ago

• Some kid said you only these maintenance trains every 20 years?

  If it was like the post on 'flickr.com' saying it was a ''19354 DDM45'' Then I know the info to that. Source: about 3 years ago

Simplescraper rode the no-code wave of a few years back ('instant structured data without parsing html'). Now working on increasing the surface area for AI agents: MCP support, screenshots API, and (experimentally) x402^ ^ https://simplescraper.io/blog/x402-payment-protocol/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Scraperr – A Self Hosted Webscraper

  1. Clicking the box programmatically – possible but inconsistent 2. Outsourcing the task to one of the many CAPTCHA-solving services (2Captcha etc) – better 3. Using a pool of reliable IP addresses so you don't encounter checkboxes or turnstiles – best I run a web scraping startup (https://simplescraper.io) and this is usually the approach. It has become more difficult, and I think a lot of the AI crawlers are... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024)

  Making my data extraction Saas (https://simplescraper.io) more LLM friendly. Markdown extraction, improved Google search, workflows - search for this terms, visit the first N links, summarize etc. Big demand for (or rather, expectation of) this lately. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• The Architecture Behind a One-Person Tech Startup

  Things are much easier for one-person startups these days—it's a gift. I remember building a todo app as my first SaaS project, and choosing something called Stormpath for authentication. It subsequently shut down, forcing me to do a last-minute migration from a hostel in Japan using Nitrous Cloud IDE (which also shut down). Just pain upon pain.[1] Now, you can just pick a full-stack cloud service and run with it.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
