• Any suggestions for downloading years' worth of photos from Family Album (mitene.us)?

  Try jdownloader or wfdownloader, one of them might be able to extract the original images. You probably need to import cookies before they can work since I expect the site to require sign-in. Source: 6 months ago

• Password-stealing Linux malware served for 3 years and no one noticed

  They can be very useful for: - bypassing antiquated per connection throttles on otherwise fast servers by downloading chunks in parallel - downloading files such as videos from sites that don't really want you to download the file I have never heard of the program in the article, but this one still sees many active users on windows for the above reasons: https://jdownloader.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Apollo shut-down party!

  A while ago, I did a data request, so I could download all saved content myself with jDownloader. Tonight I'll be nuking my account. I'm simply not interested in participating in — or supporting — Reddit anymore. Source: 12 months ago

• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

  FreeFileSync messed up my pCloud database a couple times at first (causing disappearing files in the Crypto Folder, mirroring of the same files over and over again). Pcloud support provided an easy way to fix the database. To fix the root cause, one needs to exclude FreeFileSync's temporary files from the backup: pCloud Drive > Settings > Backup/Sync Exclusions, exclude sync.ffs_lock and *.ffs_tmp.

• Why are file backups so slow on Windows 11?

  As per Apprehensive_Arm_754 answer below, https://freefilesync.org is the solution to my particular problem, since it allows all kind of simple rules and logic to apply, so I can make sure that the copy only happens in one direction, and only ever by file date etc. Much appreciated.

• Is it possible to sync Calibre configuration between Mac and Windows continuously?

  It was me, I'd probably play around with setting up shared folders of preferences and plug-ins and whatnot on something like dropbox or Google Drive. There are various folder sinking tools on both platforms such as free file sync on Windows. Since they are two completely different platforms, I don't know how interchangeable some of the preferences or plugins would be. I haven't used a Mac in a 100 years. Source: 7 months ago
