Convert English to Cron Expressions

In plain words

Convert English to Cron Expressions translates plain language descriptions into cron syntax, the scheduling format used in Unix and Linux systems. It's designed for developers and system administrators who need to create cron jobs without manually writing the technical notation. The tool simplifies a common task in server management by accepting human-readable time instructions and converting them into the precise syntax required for automated task scheduling.

  Pornpen.ai – AI-Generated Porn▲711

  Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results. For comments/suggestions/feedback please visit…
