These were uploaded to YouTube and MSN Video by TheKillerShiny as well, but he deleted his YouTube channel sadly, and MSN video is a rotting corpse (it was shut down long ago).

There were over a hundred mini-movies (123 to be exact, see archived playlist page), the hundredth of which was just a compilation of the 99 before. Thankfully, he uploaded 57 of them to Dailymotion, saving them from becoming lost media.






Because I highly doubt anyone from the English lost media community has it.

It's the video "10 unglaubliche Orte wo keiner/kaum einer war ft. TrollwutTV" by KuchenTV, released on September 22nd, 2016. (German discussion)

Possible meanings of "England is my city". Possible meanings of "England is my city".

A famous lyric from Jake Paul's song "It's everyday bro" is Nick Crompton's "England is my city".

What he possibly meant:

  • He is so famous in England that everywhere where he would go, he would be recognized as if he were in his home city.

  • He knows England so well as if it were his home city.


Edit in response to comment: I am not implying it is true, but it is what he might have believed.

Searching for

I want to search for a specific dress. I have a picture of it and I want to get it, but I want to know where I can find it, at least the name of the online store or the physical shop. I want a method I can use to search for a product that will help me reach a 100% accurate result. Is it possible to find a way to use social media to get the same model?

[talk] Are search engine ads useful for asking for lost media?

There is a piece of lost media many people in Germany are looking for. Unfortunately, no one in the German lost media community found it so far. Probably whoever out there happens to have it doesn't know it is sought after.

This piece of lost media is a YouTube video that had a medium six-digit view count, from a channel that had almost half a million subscribers at the time it was released, and now has over a million subscribers, so there is a realistic chance someone out there has preserved it.

An idea in the back of my mind was to ask for it through the Internet megaphone: a search engine advertisement.

Someone searching for specific terms would get an advertisement that asks them if they have a copy of said video.

The advertisement could look similar to this:

Do you have a copy of "[video title]" by "[creator]"?

or

We are looking for the video "[video title]" by "[creator]". Please send us a copy if you have it.

Followed by contact details.

Given that this piece of lost media is a YouTube video, I highly doubt Google would allow it to be advertised on their platform because they are opposed to people having permanent local backups of YouTube videos outside their ecosystem, nor do I trust Google with my real-life identity (which they require advertisers to disclose).

Therefore, I would have to resort to alternatives like Bing and DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo loads advertisements from Bing from what I understand.

Do you have experience asking for lost media through search engine ads? Do you recommend it? How do you imagine such an ad would look like?

From my experience, ntfs3 reads much faster than ntfs-3g (ntfs-3g sometimes is in the single-digit MB/s), and it can show birth times (stat command) thanks to the statx syscall, probably owing to ntfs-3g running as FUSE, not kernel driver.

But sometimes when trying to make changes, ntfs3 gives me a "permission denied" error even with correct uid and gid mount options. ntfs-3g does not have this glitch. If correctly mounted, it just does what I ask it to.



What did Torvalds dislike about ntfs-3g? What did Torvalds dislike about ntfs-3g?

The two most well-known NTFS drivers on Linux are ntfs-3g (FUSE driver, used for over a decade) and ntfs3 (kernel driver since 2021, replaced read-only ntfs kernel driver).

A comment by u/Joe-Cool on r/linux_gaming:

I usually always remember to -t ntfs-3g in my mount parameters. The Tuxera userspace driver is a lot more stable, imho.

Something about it bothered Linus and he merged ntfs3 into the kernel instead. I can't really remember what is was though.

This got me curious and I decided to research it a bit, but couldn't find a definitive answer. Does any of you know what bothered Torvalds about ntfs-3g?

Was it something licensing/bureaucracy-related or actually a technical reason?













The first world hasn't really been moving away from privatizing and towards government owned the last couple of decades.

But heavily regulated, the most recent example being the UK online safety act, and DMCA being the most long-term example. Also, EU GDPR imposed an extreme bureaucratic burden upon small websites. We also dodged some bullets such as EU Article 13 in 2019, and SOPA, PIPA, ACTA in 2012 in the USA.

Also, if one nation (China, UK) does something, other nations might get the idea and try to copy it (see KOSA in the USA).

Which music recognition engine can return multiple results?

Shazam, and by extension anything that relies on it (like Aha-music), can only list one result.

This leads to the problem where Shazam doesn't find the original instrumental track, but other media that used it as background music.

Examples that can be tested include "The Midnight - Collateral" matching "BrookHoliday - Paper Guns" and "Wayne Jones - Mr. Sunny Face" matching the video "Bad Money" by Mark Angel comedy, because it used this as background music.

Does anyone know a sound search engine that matches multiple results?

[R] 2016 video by German YouTuber KuchenTV: "10 incredible places where no one/almost no one has been ft. TrollwutTV". [R] 2016 video by German YouTuber KuchenTV: "10 incredible places where no one/almost no one has been ft. TrollwutTV".

In September 2016, German YouTuber KuchenTV (Tim Heldt) who at that time had over 450K subscribers (now over a million) published a satire video titled "10 unglaubliche Orte wo keiner/kaum einer war ft. TrollwutTV", which translates into "10 incredible places where no one/almost no one has been ft. TrollwutTV". Even though its view count was in the six digits, it is lost media now.

It is listed in this archive of his "videos" page. The thumbnail is an auto-generated stock photo used in the video. German discussion at /r/LostMediaDE.

The video ID was QOuDVjYV1GE (original URL). It is indicated as private, not removed for terms of service violations, so it was him who took it down, but likely involuntarily. The most plausible reason he took it down was that he got frightened of getting striked on old videos after his channel and other channels like "OPEN MIND" (discussion about drugs) were temporarily terminated in 2018 (reinstated shortly after), so as a precautionary measure, he took down lots of old videos with edgy humor that could even remotely be considered offensive. (Video by him discussing this issue.)

For reference, strikes on old videos are what lead to the termination of Mumkey Jones later that year, and Mumkey was not reinstated.

"10 unglaubliche Orte ..." is the first video he published after his video titled "Miguel Pablos Beerdigung" (translated "Miguel Pablos funeral", later retitled to "Bye Bye Miguel Pablo!", a video against Miguel Pablo as the title suggests), one of his most viewed videos ever, and still up. 2016 was the year where KuchenTV rose to popularity, so I am convinced someone out there has a copy of "10 unglaubliche Orte ..." as well.





More context: Phone manufacturers eventually recognized that there is only so much that can be fit into a single lens, so they have added multiple lenses.

But not all lenses in smartphones are tele lenses. For example, on the Galaxy A series, there is a macro lens and a wide-angle lens in addition to the main lens.

If you choose the highest resolution (50M or 64M depending on model), the camera app won't even let you zoom in (which is good).

If you use the normal resolution (12M or 16M), you will get 2x of lossless zoom, given that a cropped area from the image sensor can be read. But the camera app unfortunately lets you zoom more, in which case the quality will degrade.



Wenn dein Budget es zulässt, lieber SSD.

Bei USB-Sticks und SD-Karten sind in der Regel bei etwa 200 MB/s Lesegeschwindigkeit Feierabend. Schreibgeschwindigkeiten sind niedriger und werden in den Datenblättern häufig nicht mal genannt.

Bei MicroSD-Karten sogar noch weniger. Eine SanDisk Ultra MicroSD mit 80 MB/s Lesegeschwindigkeit schreibt laut meinem Test nur mit 10 bis 15 MB/s. Das reicht jedoch in den Mobilgeräten in denen sie eingesetzt werden in der Regel aus.

SSDs hingegen können um ein vielfaches schneller sein, insbesondere bei zufälligen Schreibzugriffen. Sie halten auch deutlich mehr Schreibzyklen aus, bedeutet sie sind langlebiger.

Genaue Zahlen unterscheiden sich je nach Modell.



How come Samsung arbitrarily disabled manual flash at 50M or 64M photo resolutions? How come Samsung arbitrarily disabled manual flash at 50M or 64M photo resolutions?

At 50M or 64M high resolutions (depending on device), it only lets you select automatic flash. What is the point of this restriction? It seems completely arbitrary and unreasonable.

In comparison, Xiaomi allows manual flash at high resolution, and even continuous light, which Samsung doesn't have at all in photo mode. But to Samsung's credit, they have added the ability to turn the light on and off during (not just before) a video recording, which Xiaomi does not have.


Mark my words: Google Chrome will let websites block downloading and screenshots. Mark my words: Google Chrome will let websites block downloading and screenshots.
MMW: Google Chrome will let websites block downloading and screenshots.

Google Chrome, at least its mobile version, will probably give website operators the ability to prevent their pages from being downloaded and screen captured.

In the recent years, Google "Don't be evil", also known as "Web Environment Integrity company", has made major anti-control and anti-ownership decisions, most notably planning to remove the ability to install APKs by developers not personally identified and approved by Google and excusing it with the usual "protection" coroprate doublespeak fairy tale that, as always, fools most people, so this is not ouside the realm of possibility.

Given that "Don't be evil" controls most of the web browsing market share, they can do some real damage there as well. In 2023, "Don't be evil" hallucinated something up, naming it the "Web Environment Integrity API", which would have taken away lots of freedom from end users. But they graciously decided to step down with it. But the same can't be said about SafetyNet / Play Integrity API. And they take down YouTube videos criticizing it.

"Don't be evil" is also opposed to the idea of people owning permanent local copies of YouTube videos and also lets Android app developers arbitrarily disable screen capture.

Since 2018, "Don't be evil" Chrome on Android blocks screen capture in incognito mode, even though there are valid reasons for it like testing and documenting how a website appears to first-time visitors.

If When "Don't be evil" implements a download blocking anti-feature, it will probably be an HTTP header like allow-downloading: false and allow-screen-capture: false, or some euphemistic (good-sounding) name that hides the real meaning, like "flag secure", which they use for screenshot blocking on Android. And they will tell the usual familiar-sounding "it's to protect everyone's privacy" fairy tale.

Or their marketing department will frame it as "we give website owners more control over what happens with their content" or something like that, similarly to what they did with scrolling ("Take control of your scroll") after they enforced pull-to-refresh upon everyone by taking away the ability to turn it off.

If I can think of it, they must have thought of it long ago. "Don't be evil" executives won't rest easy until they have eroded away the last bit of user freedom. All that is holding them back from adding download blocking at this point is probably that it is easier to switch web browsers than operating systems. Installing an Android alternative like LineageOS requires an unlocked bootloader and significant technical knowledge, whereas installing Firefox or Brave browser is no big deal, at least for now.

The plain and simple reality is, if someone doesn't want their content preserved by others, they should not put it onto a visible spot on the Internet in the first place. It has been this way all the way since the beginning of the Internet.

So if you're a Chrome user, know this: Your ability to store local copies of any page you want is probably on borrowed time. Don't take it for granted.

The wires are designed to pull a signal off the sensor X times a second, and then be able to cool down. If you’re refreshing that sensor 4x as often it’s going to generate a lot of heat

Thanks for the response, but is it more heat than four times less often but four times as much data? Is there a source for it?

(Not that I think you're wrong, but I would like to find out more about it.)
