Sorry about that.

I’ve used one or more extensions for this purpose, but only on desktop and it was so short lived I don’t recall the names. I quickly shifted to using the Dev Tools as it didn’t require trusting an extension.

So, I guess one of the main focuses or concerns would be open source to help provide some slight reassurance regarding security and privacy.

Minimal permissions is also an aspect I look for when considering apps or extensions, if that matters for anyone else as well.

Otherwise, just having the option to download images from a page, which I suppose more specifically focuses on pages which don’t allow a long-press context window option; as I’d just do that if it was available.

I don’t really need bulk download options. For any such large datasets I’d use a desktop. But hopefully an extension available on mobile would save me from needing to screenshot a bunch of image text posts I can’t just download normally.

What’s the ‘applescript’?

Not to create an argument, which isn’t my intent, as certainty there may be a thought such as, “scraping as it stands is good because of the simplification and ‘benefit’”. Which, sure, it’s easiest to wide net and absorb, to simply the concept, at least as I’m also understanding it.

Yet, maybe it is the process of scraping, and also absorbing into databases including AI, which is a worthwhile point of conversation. Maybe how we’ve been doing something isn’t the continued ‘best course’ for a situation.

Undeniably, more minutely monitoring what is scraped and stored creates large quantities, and large in scope, of questions and obstacles, but, maybe having that conversation is where things should go.

Thoughts?

I’ve read that dual booting Windows and Linux can have temperamental quirks and I’ve had my share of them.

Now, if I’m doing that, Windows fs gets isolated and I refuse to even connect it to the internet. But, outside of a legacy automotive shop program meant for XP, I’ve not needed Windows for a couple years.

There is a line of sight, which is only slightly obstructed by very thin bushes/branches. Someone posted about some TP-Link type brand of bridges with a range in multiple miles; so much further than is needed but would certainly do the job. Though, I saw some single devices from the same brand, OMA…something?, with stated ranges of 300-600 ft.

So, as long as; the very sparse branches don’t impede that range much; I can place it outside or it reaches through the external wall of the house AND the external wall of the small desired building; then I may get away with just the one additional device and the original device (if the Google pod doesn’t fight the use of a non-google extender as it’s link to the main network, which I suppose isn’t a guarantee).

I’ve informed her the network speed at the secondary building would be slower than inside the house after linking through each connection, but the desire to keep it simple for her and whoever she has come by to troubleshoot it in the future is more of a preference for her.

After talking with her today she is also not interested in drilling holes in any walls. So, confirmation there.

I’m not sure about digging or running lines.

I mentioned to the owner that the straightforward simplest solution is to run a secondary line to the house from their service provider. But that it’s an additional monthly cost as that provider will bill for a separate line of service, not to mention the recurring or initial cost of a modem. They weren’t wanting that and I mentioned I wouldn’t usually recommend it either because of that extra cost of almost $100 a month.

She is also 80 years old so I’m trying to find something which is as basic, and serviceable/replaceable as possible for whoever might come out to help her with it in the future, with the assumption it may be a less than technologically familiar person.

And it’s unlikely she’ll agree to drilling a hole in a wall for a cable as she’s a widow and the house was her husband’s dream home project. So, limited in options and trying to find some electrically powered device[s] to keep it simple.

Sorry. I don’t have any idea how to get those. 😬

Could you clarify what type of instructions I should search for to direct me on that?

Thank you!
