As someone who's been dealing with a lot of low mood lately, it really brightens my day to hear someone express gratitude for my anonymous, unauthorized trail maintenance.

That's awesome! I also have a trail with some fallen branches and sticks - been thinking of taking into my own hands ⚒️

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 33 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I got a folding Silky saw for christmas. That thing cuts almost like a chainsaw.

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I should have bought one of those. I did some anonymous trail maintenance myself and used a hand chainsaw (chainsaw blade with a handle at each end). It was a nightmare because the chain kept getting stuck.

Good on you for doing that, I'm one of the people who would really appreciate that!

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love my silkys. I am a carpenter and have the 6" in my pouch for everything from flooring to little trimmy jobs. And a big 12" in my truck for clearing brush like this when out on Crown land roads.

[–] rhadamanth_nemes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What Silky saw(s) do you recommend? I plan to both hike and do woodworking in the near future.

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can't go wrong with any of them, and you can buy different blades. I just checked their lineup online and "gomboy" are about where your bush saws start. I'd grab a 190mm straight blade and buy a second blade. When you are out in the woods throw a pruning blade on it, when you are in the shop try and remember to swap it for a fine tooth blade.

The bigger you go, the less you'll find it useful for woodworking, and the smaller, the less efficient for brush clearing. Curved blades are awesome for brush clearing and straight are my preference for woodworking.

Just head to the store and hold them in your hand, you'll find one you like and you won't regret the purchase.

Oh and personal grudge: don't buy the "hunting" one, with the deer on it and the antler or bone coloured handle.

  1. It's the same picture but $10-20 more
  2. You want a bright colour so if you set it down or drop it you have a hope in hell of finding it again.

Happy trails and happy woodworking.

Great breakdown, thank you!

[–] rhadamanth_nemes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What saw do you use? These things look great.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

It's Silky Big Boy

[–] Danitos@reddthat.com 39 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Don't use blurry text if you want to censor it, as it can be unblurred. Just use a solid color box.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I would be very impressed if that blurring could be effectively uncensored.

[–] elvith 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well, there's Unredacted which just tries to brute force it - see this blog post. Then there's DepixHMM which uses Hidden Markov Models and links to the research paper it's based on.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The example Unredacted used is 4 pixels high. The one in the screenshot seems to only be 2 pixels high.

[–] elvith 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True, this would make it harder. But... On the other hand, its not a random password but text. If you know (or guess) the language you may be able to employ other tricks like "how common is each letter?", "which combination of letters is more common in this language?" And so on. Maybe the hidden markov model mentioned in the research paper does that (which would be one thing that Markov Models do IIRC).

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right, technically even one pixel per letter could be solvable. Different letters would mostly result in a slightly different hue. And if multiple letters have the same, it could be guessed via the neighbours and statistical frequency of each letter.

We also have the context and could specifically look for words like trees, path, thank, saw first.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Isn't this software available? People keep telling me that it could be decensored, but no one has tried it.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I wonder if an entire line gets blurred with one pattern-- therefore if you know what the emojis are supposed to look like it can help figure out the blurring pattern

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's quite a lot of information in those pixels. You can make out gaps between words, risers and descenders, two smileys in the first paragraph which I reckon are probably a smiley and a thumbs up which will further narrow down the possibilities for the words in their vicinity. Constrain that further with English language rules and I reckon that'd get you most of the way there.

[–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Not to mention that you know that exact typeface and pixel perfect location where letters can be, so it should be relatively easy to go through each possible subsequent character and match the pixelated value.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

This only applies to videos as far as I know.

edit: apparently not

[–] zzx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Troll option. Replace the text with lorem Ipsum, then pixelate that.

[–] Condiment2085@lemm.ee 22 points 1 week ago

You dropped this 👑

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 15 points 1 week ago

Nice work, OP!

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

Good shit! I also started carrying branch saw and an axe in my backpack sometimes when I knew there's fallen shit on my regular trail. It's such a good feeling thing to clear up a section of a trail after a storm

[–] Olmai@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

you deserve it
