To check what files uploadr.py would upload and delete you can run the script withe option –dry-run: It will crawl through all the files from the FILES_DIR directory and begin the upload process. Place the file uploadr.py in any directory and run via ssh (execution privs required): Refer to for what each of the upload arguments above correspond to for Flickr’s API. Go to and apply for an API key Edit the following variables in the uploadr.ini: File write access (for the token and local database).Python 2.7+ (for DSM use: Official package from Synology does not work for HTTPS so use package from SynoCommunity).PLEASE REVIEW THE SOURCE CODE TO MAKE SURE IT WILL WORK FOR YOUR NEEDS.

Other public cloud storage providers give you very limited free storage space, and those that claim to offer free unlimited photo storage (such as Google photos), will recompress your photos. Free Flickr users are given a very generous 1000GB of photo and video storage, so this is the perfect online backup solution for photos. I found this neat little script which allows you to upload your photos to Flickr in full resolution. ![]()

Room escape prison break2/28/2023 ![]() ![]() On the puzzle front, they’d stepped up from the Possessed Doll and delivered a decent array of challenges. That standard of décor wasn’t quite as high throughout, but it was good enough for the game. It’s a prison, so obviously it was never going to be a glamorous location, but they’d put together a solid set of cells and an interesting space that they looked out onto. Here it walked the line beautifully.ĭecoration-wise, it was probably the best of the three games we saw at Room Lockdown. All too often the separation is either token or a major frustration in the game. In terms of team separation, this was one of the best setups I’ve seen: it made communication a challenge but absolutely one that you could handle. Prison Break is a split room (and, for the record, played with handcuffs) so the first thing we had to do, given there were three of us, was decide who would be going solo. ![]() The Warden and prison guards are holding an important meeting, you have sixty minutes to escape from the prison and free yourself before they return. There have been multiple attempts to escape from this maximum security prison but many people have failed and most inmates were either shot or recaptured while others disappeared without a trace, giving hope to inmates that there are ways to escape! You were framed by a notorious serial killer and you are now facing charges for a murder you did not commit. You and your teammates are locked in a maximum security prison and are awaiting your execution. On the plus side, that means locals get access to a whole new game every two weeks or so but, on the minus, it means they can’t afford to invest in the props and puzzles to the same extent, and the sense of discovery is significantly reduced when you return to play the new variant. It’s an interesting philosophy – at a time when most games are still trying to iron out the final kinks in their games, Room Lockdown is about to replace them entirely. Specifically, in one of the games, the order in which you move through the sub-rooms changed. When I queried, he confirmed that they replaced ALL the puzzles and sometimes reconfigured the room. ![]() It turns out that they refresh each room every six to eight weeks. We were running a little ahead of schedule so, while we waited for it to be reset, we chatted a little with our GM. It didn’t really hinder us from solving the puzzle, but we got the answer from another way of thinking which was interesting.Our second game at Room Lockdown was that standard staple of escape rooms everywhere: Prison Break. Later on, there was one puzzle that was a bit confusing from a visual aspect which we also couldn’t get a direct answer from the game master even after the game on why it was designed that way. The flow was nice, and the puzzles weren’t too difficult to interpret but it was definitely more on the linear side. As we progressed into the story, it was great to see that the set design “developed” with it. We also encountered a code that needed to be use twice which is pretty rare in escape rooms so we suggest that you take note of this unless they change it after, but you should definitely ask this question prior to your game. There was one code there that I was a bit confused as to why that was the code to open the door as the amount of numbers needed didn’t really match up. One certain prop was also quite “entertaining” in the jail cell. The set design and props used were great and the handcuffs felt so authentic they even left a little red marking as I stretched out to look for clues. As we entered, we were put into two separate jail cells and handcuffed to the wall. Today, we are attempting their "Prison Break" room which is their hardest room according to their escape percentage. ![]()

Buybuybaby thinkbaby sunscreen2/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Stick sunscreens are similar to stick deodorants and let you apply sunscreen without getting it all over your hands.That said, it is best only to use pump-style spray sunscreens and avoid aerosols, so you don’t risk your baby inhaling any particles. Spray sunscreens offer similar properties to lotions in that they are inexpensive and absorb quickly.Lotions are one of the most popular choices because they are easy to spread and absorb quickly into the skin.Just like with adult sunscreen, baby sunscreen is available in several forms. If using protective clothing, make sure it provides complete coverage and doesn’t leave any areas exposed. Instead, it is recommended to keep infants out of direct sunlight through the use of physical shades such as umbrellas, canopies and protective clothing. ![]() This is because newborns and infants are more prone to allergic reactions and side effects like rashes or eczema from products applied to their skin. What to know before you buy baby sunscreen Recommended age for baby sunscreenĪccording to the FDA, you should avoid using sunscreen on babies younger than 6-months-old. That’s why many people opt for a chemical-free option like Thinkbaby 50 SPF Mineral Sunscreen. Baby skin is much more sensitive to irritants, so you’ll need to pay close attention to the ingredients. When choosing sunscreen for a baby, you need to think about more than just SPF. Sun protection is even more vital in babies because their skin is thinner and more prone to burning. Too much unprotected exposure can lead to cancer, premature aging and other forms of skin damage. Protecting your skin from UV rays is essential when spending time in the sun.

Knock on wood meaning2/28/2023 ![]() Any house which is home to a wood spirit will stand protected and be blessed. The wood spirit should be given a special place within the home in order for its presence to bring wisdom, prosperity, humor, good health and good luck to all that live there. Wood spirits are still being carved into pieces of wood and are often given as gifts. Catching a glimpse of one of these elusive creatures is said to be a lucky thing for if you are fortunate enough to actually see one, your health, happiness and good fortune are guaranteed. These carvings appeased the spirits, thus the traveler was allowed to enter and leave the forest without difficulty. Wise travelers assured their safety by carving wood spirit images on walking sticks or pieces of wood and bark. This is where we get the saying “knock on wood” or “touch wood”. ![]() So before they would venture into the woods to hunt, they would knock on the tree to awaken the sleeping spirit to protect them. They believed that the tree spirits would protect them from evil. ![]() They also believed that the tree spirits were the most powerful of all spirits and were good and wise. that they had been taken by the evil spirits. KNOCK ON WOOD definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary Meaning of knock on wood in English knock on wood idiom US informal (UK touch wood) said in order to avoid bad luck, either when you mention good luck that you have had in the past or when you mention hopes you have for the future: The deal will be agreed on Wednesday, knock on wood. For centuries people believed the forest to be filled with mystical spirits and that those who dared to enter would earn the spirits wrath.ĭuring the 15th century they believed that when the men went into the woods to hunt and didn’t return. ![]() On days when storms are brewing and winds are blowing, the trees of the forest make sounds of moaning and sighing as though voices can be heard from spirits within. On calm days when the wind lays low, there is a sense of peace and tranquility in the forest. The Wood Spirit Legend The wood spirit is a European legend originating from villagers who made long journeys through the forest. ![]()

Group in cheetah3d2/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Similarly, if you remove Folder.2, move the Barrel, Burn the Transformation and drop Folder.2 back onto the Barrel, everything in Folder.2 moves again. If you remove Folder.2, move the Barrel and move it back, and drop Folder.2 back onto the Barrel, everything in Folder.2 moves. Moving the coordinate system of the Barrel-in order to center it-doesn't work, because when you move it back in Object Mode, everything else moves with it. However, the coordinate sytems are all at the origin, so nothing can rotate along its axis. There is a similar arrangement for the yellow Cylinder and the green Barrel. The Folder of boxes is a child of the purple Tube, so that when the Tube rotates, the Folder of boxes rotates also. In the browser, the two boxes are grouped (Folder) so that they move together. I've attached a picture to try to explain the difficulties I'm having. Cheetah seems to insist on the latter.įrom what I have seen of Cheetah, the ability to "burn" transformations of folders and their descendants would do the same thing, no? When ungrouping, the option is available for the children to keep the transformation (and stay where they are) or not (and return to their original locations). With nested folders, there does not seem to be any way for the children to keep the transformation incurred by the parent.Ī quick search of (ahem) Blender's manual seems to show that the group command uses one of the objects (active one) to be the parent of the others. But with raw polygon objects, you can at least "burn" a transformation to reset the coordinate system. In Cheetah, the new parent (the folder) always begins with a coordinate system that is the same as the universe's origin, so the children's coordinates don't have to change. When objects are grouped, a parent is created for the grouped objects, no? In order to prevent the children from moving in the universe, their local coordinates would have to change to agree with the new parent's coordinate system. Since I'm not familair with the terminology distinctions or programming concepts, I can't say one way or another, but what you say makes sense. I honestly can not figure out how to make nested group/ungroup/regroup functions perform at all, without keeping a very long list of every t,r, and s value for every folder, doing the arithmetic, and manually applying new values, every time. ![]() Perhaps some kind of instant groups, that, like the selections in 2D painting software, live as a current state but is never stored into the scene, and allow to restrain or to widen the field of an action.įor me, this is not a philosophical issue, it's practical. I guess that there should be some ways to make the two POV work together. When an action is performed on such a group, it is " solidified" for all the objects and extracting an object from the group means extracting the modified object.īut "algebraic grouping" MUST be preserved as it is a fundamental 3D modeling concept, and allows hierarchical transformation, cloning independently objects, and so on. IMHO, the kind of stuff that Lonestar and others require, is " action grouping", that is invoking an action (here a transformation) on a group of objects. To abstract, that's " action grouping" vs " algebraic grouping". Even if I fully understand Martin point of view on this topic, as it is the standard mathematic (aka algebraic) one, I must admit that this could be disturbing when working on important scene. ![]()

Hero academy online roblox2/28/2023 ![]() ![]() This dude has neon hair, an all too serious stare, and a smile that makes you think he eats squirrels for a hobby. And the trick, of course, was to not take anything too seriously.ĭoing that, of course, started with the creation of my character, which led me to the completely insane… thing I have presented to you in the image above. So an online game made by an anime fan in Roblox is perhaps not one of the more sterling starts to this month, but I have to say I actually got some fun out of the whole deal. It was only until after I got into Heroes Online, the chosen Roblox game, that I realized this was an MMO based around the anime My Hero Academia. Sure, they don’t have the same quirks (wink), but they can keep you busy.Play RobloxI had a feeling this whole month of write-ups would go weirdly, and sure enough, it did. Since you’re here, take a look at some of the many shows similar to My Hero Academia. You can watch My Hero Academia: Season 6 episodes on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Where To Watch My Hero Academia: Season 6 Just like the release dates, the release times are also subject to change, but they’re just as likely to remain the same as this list. New My Hero Academia: Season 6 episodes are coming out each Saturday at the following times:īe sure to check the timezones for your region. My Hero Academia: Season 6 Episode Release Times Still, this My Hero Academia: Season 6 release schedule is what most viewers expect, so it’s highly likely that Bones will keep up with it.
