ArtCraft — Open-Source AI Studio for Controllable Image, Video and 3D Creation

Shared by Karma: 16.6 Genres: AI & TechnologyEducation & CareerSoftware & Apps Tags: AI Image GenerationAI VideoArtCraftGenerative AIOpen Source External source: getartcraft.com Discuss

ArtCraft is an open-source creative studio built for artists who want more control over AI-assisted image and video creation than text prompting alone provides. Instead of relying only on written prompts, it combines AI generation with visual composition tools that let users arrange scenes, characters, backgrounds, props, and other assets before rendering the result.

The studio supports workflows such as 2D and 3D compositing, character posing, background removal, image-to-3D mesh conversion, mixed 2D/3D assets, and image-to-location scene building. These tools are particularly interesting for concept art, visual storytelling, pre-visualization, AI filmmaking, character scenes, and other creative projects where composition and consistency matter.

ArtCraft can be used through the web or downloaded for desktop platforms, with the main site currently listing macOS, Windows, and web access. The project also emphasizes open-source availability and does not require a recurring subscription to use the studio. Its browser workspace extends beyond images and video to creative tools for audio, 3D objects, 3D worlds, video editing, moodboards, and frame extraction.

It is a useful bookmark for digital artists, designers, filmmakers, AI creators, and anyone exploring more hands-on ways to combine generative AI with traditional visual composition rather than depending entirely on prompt-based generation.

FastBeam — Send Files and Text Between Devices From Your Browser

Shared by Karma: 14 Genres: AI & TechnologySoftware & AppsWeb Security Tags: Cross-Platform File TransferFastBeamFile TransferLocal NetworkText Sharing External source: fastbeam.app Discuss

FastBeam is a lightweight browser-based tool for sending files and text from one device to another without first installing a dedicated application or creating an account. It is designed around a simple workflow: open FastBeam on the devices you want to use and transfer content directly through the browser.

When devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, FastBeam says they can discover one another automatically. For devices that are elsewhere, the service provides a six-letter code that can be used to connect them. This combination makes it potentially useful both for quick transfers around the home or office and for situations where the receiving device is not connected to the same local network.

The absence of mandatory registration is particularly convenient for occasional transfers. Instead of uploading a file to a cloud drive, creating a share link, sending that link, and later cleaning up the uploaded copy, a browser-to-browser sharing utility can reduce the number of steps involved. It can also be useful when switching between phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops where installing another permanent utility would be unnecessary.

FastBeam is worth bookmarking alongside tools such as LocalSend and SnapDrop because it approaches the same everyday problem from a browser-first perspective. LocalSend is particularly attractive when you want installed, local-network applications across multiple operating systems, while FastBeam is useful when opening a webpage and connecting the devices is the more convenient option.

Snapdrop — Simple Cross-Device File Transfer in Your Browser

Shared by Karma: 12.1 Genres: AI & TechnologySoftware & AppsWeb Security Tags: Cross-Platform File TransferFile SharingPeer-to-PeerSnapDropWebRTC External source: snapdrop.net Discuss

Snapdrop is a web-based tool for moving files between devices through a straightforward browser interface. Open the site, select files or a folder, and use the available device-transfer interface to send content to another device. The current homepage positions the service simply as an easy way to transfer files across devices, which makes it a convenient bookmark when you want to move something without reaching for email, messaging apps, removable storage, or a traditional cloud drive.

Snapdrop became widely known as a cross-platform, AirDrop-inspired file-sharing Progressive Web App. The classic project used WebRTC for peer-to-peer transfers, with a signalling server helping devices establish their connection rather than carrying the transferred file itself. The original project documentation also describes WebRTC transport encryption and support for self-hosting the classic application.

There has been an important change around this domain, however. The official Snapdrop GitHub repository currently states that Snapdrop has been acquired by LimeWire and directs users to snapdrop.net or LimeWire for the continuing service. The repository for the classic open-source Snapdrop implementation remains available.

For that reason, this bookmark is best described around what the current site provides—quick cross-device file transfer—rather than assuming that every technical or privacy characteristic of older Snapdrop deployments necessarily applies unchanged to the present hosted service.

SnapDrop — Send Files Between Devices Directly From Your Browser

Shared by Karma: 12.1 Genres: AI & TechnologySoftware & AppsWeb Security Tags: Browser ToolsCross-Platform File TransferFile SharingSnapDropWebRTC External source: snap-drop.net Discuss

SnapDrop at snap-drop.net is a browser-based file-sharing service designed for quickly moving files, images, documents, links, and text between devices. It follows the familiar AirDrop idea but is intended to work across different operating systems rather than being tied to one hardware ecosystem. Because it runs in a modern web browser, there is normally no desktop application, browser extension, or account to configure before starting a transfer.

For devices on the same network, SnapDrop can discover compatible browsers and establish a peer-to-peer WebRTC connection. Its current documentation says actual file bytes are exchanged directly between browsers rather than being stored by the site’s application server. WebRTC also encrypts the transfer in transit. As with any device-discovery system, it is still sensible to confirm that the displayed recipient really is the device or person you intend to send something to.

This particular SnapDrop implementation also goes beyond simple same-Wi-Fi discovery. It supports persistent device pairing and temporary public rooms, which can help devices discover one another when they are on different networks. The service is based on the original Snapdrop concept and PairDrop work, while this public instance is independently operated and its source is available on GitHub.

A useful bookmark for people who occasionally need a fast, cross-platform transfer tool without installing dedicated software.

LocalSend — Private Cross-Platform File Sharing on Your Local Network

Shared by Karma: 11.9 Genres: AI & TechnologySoftware & AppsWeb Security Tags: File SharingLocal NetworkLocalSendOffline File TransferOpen Source External source: localsend.org Discuss

LocalSend is a useful file-sharing tool for transferring files directly between nearby devices without relying on cloud storage. It works across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, making it especially handy when you regularly move photos, documents, videos, or other files between devices running different operating systems.

The main attraction is its local-first approach. Devices communicate over the local network, so an Internet connection is not required for normal transfers. LocalSend says transfers stay on the local network and are protected using encrypted connections. There is also no requirement to create an account or sign in before using it.

Unlike browser-only file-sharing utilities, LocalSend provides native applications for the major desktop and mobile platforms. Once it is installed on the devices you want to use, nearby LocalSend devices can be discovered and files can be sent with relatively little setup. It supports files as well as text and does not impose cloud-storage or Internet-bandwidth limits on a local transfer.

Another advantage for privacy-conscious users is that LocalSend is open-source software. The project states that it has no ads or trackers and can work completely offline. It is a practical bookmark for anyone who wants an AirDrop-like workflow across mixed Windows, Android, Linux, macOS, and iOS devices without uploading personal files to a third-party cloud service.

How to Shorten the cwebp Command in Linux Mint with a Bash Function – MCQ Academy – English

Shared by Karma: 17 Genres: Linux Apps Tags: Bash FunctionCommand LinecwebpImage OptimizationLinux Tutorial External source: mcqacademy.com Discuss

Learn how to create a simple Bash function in Linux Mint that shortens the cwebp command and converts PNG or JPG images to WebP with less typing.

I usually optimize images locally before uploading them to the live servers for my websites. Since I use Linux Mint, one of my regular tools for this job is cwebp, which I run directly from the command line to convert PNG and JPG images to WebP.

My most-used command is simple:

cwebp image-name.png -o image-name.webp

It works well, but after using it again and again, I started looking for a way to avoid typing the same filename twice every time I convert an image. When filenames are long, that small repetition becomes even more annoying. …

How to Convert a WordPress Single Site to a Directory-Based Multisite – Ebuhu — Programming & AI

Shared by Karma: 16.7 Genres: Developer ToolsProgramming & DevelopmentWeb Development Tags: multisite setupWordPress for DevelopersWordPress MultisiteWordPress networkWP-CLI External source: ebuhu.com Discuss

Learn how to convert a live WordPress single site into a directory-based Multisite using WP-CLI, with backups, rewrite rules, database checks, and testing.

Converting a fresh WordPress install to Multisite is fairly easy. Converting an existing production site is different.

The Multisite switch itself takes only one WP-CLI command. The real work is making sure the existing site still works afterward – its URLs, plugins, database tables, rewrite rules, admin area, and any new subsites you create.

This tutorial walks through converting an existing WordPress single-site installation into a directory-based Multisite on a production server.

New York State Facts: Capital, Major Cities, Geography & Economy – MCQ Academy – English

Shared by Karma: 17.1 Genres: Education & CareerMiscellaneousNews & Current Affairs External source: mcqacademy.com Discuss

New York State is often pictured through New York City – skyscrapers, Wall Street, Broadway and millions of people packed into a small part of the state. That picture is important, but it is far from complete. New York stretches from the Atlantic coast and Long Island to the Canadian border and from the Hudson Valley west to Lake Erie.

Across that distance are the Adirondack and Catskill mountains, the Finger Lakes, major river valleys, productive farmland, forests, Great Lakes shorelines and cities with very different histories and economies. Albany is the capital, while New York City is the largest city.

This guide looks at New York State as a whole – its geography, capital, major cities, population, economy, GDP, history, government, education, landmarks and state symbols. It is designed as a reference for students, teachers, quiz learners and anyone who wants to understand how the different parts of New York fit together.
