Thanks for the suggestion and the code snippets.
i want to see how votes/comments accumulate over time on a post, therefore i would have to poll the “all” posts endpoint in a regular interval. but I would either see new posts with small number of comments/upvoted, or already upvoted post, or i would have to download all posts in a regular time interval which seems impossible to me.
interesting. thanks.
so this would mean that if i wanted to receive an event for each upvote/comment/post in the lemmy fediverse i would have to create my own instance in the ActivityPub space, subscribe to all communities (there is no such single wildcard call (?), so i would have to subscribe to all ~30k communities each by its own and also watch for new communities) and then i could utilize the ActivityPub protocol as instance feed me with their events?
there are currently about 600 instances and 30k communities, but only ~2k communities have more than 600 subscribers (according to [0]). does this mean that those bots only subscribe to communities above a certain threshold?
so the instances only save the metadata/title of federated posts, but when a user wants to see the comments or content, then the other instances are queried for more details?
what are the bots good for?
no gui, but still super simple and enough for local testing:
cd folder/you/want/to/serve/frompython -m http.server -b 127.0.0.1open browser surf to http://127.0.0.1:8000/
but a simple plastic bag would be enough for that?
but then the three cover would be connected at the tip? otherwise the plastic is not strong enough to help against deforming?!
can you define “machine”? if it’s a desktop: have you thought about an additional hdd/ssd? all the pros of dual booting, without the cons: you can simply unplug the windows drive if you install linux.
but still do a backup!
thanks for the insight, much appreciated!
thanks for your answer. that’s what i feared, but its good to be sure!
thanks for your comment and recommendation.
i use this at work, and its great. Only downside is, that the buttons are hard to identify and move depending on the size of the screenshot, so you always have to search for the function you need.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Even the internet archive is nothing in comparison to the image data used for street view.
honest curiosity, don’t want to flame war: do you have numbers for that?
stitching is no longer a requirement because of 360° cameras, is it? it could also be made on the client side if really needed. if people can use josm to contribute to osm, they can use some other software for stitching?!
have you seen that the internet archive has also quite high res books scans and videos?
if your aiming for covering every small street of the whole world tomorrow, you are right: it won’t work. but nothing would stop to start with a single city or a region?
lets agree to disagree :-)
you have a point there.
and yet we have the internet archive… so it seems to be possible.
any sane people would same the same about a map covering the whole world, and yet there is openstreetmap.
yes there are many challenges, but if you start small and grow from there it could work and maybe span a town or two in a couple of years…
i think you mix two concepts here:
the first is basically that you can post to multiple communities at once (community = tag)
the second is that users can assign tags/communities to existing posts, and vote for them
i like both and already thought about the first one, but not the second one… I first thought it might be a problem that if you add a community/tag to an existing post it will be immediately visible on said community/tag, but if this is a problem for said community, someone could down-vote there and it would vanish. but then you would need two up votes: one for community fit, and one for the post itself. could be a problem, if you post one link to a very popular community and a very small one, then the post would get many upvotes and be on the top of the small one…
how would you federate? it comes natural for lemmy to have each community on a seperate server, but how would you do this for a project like dmoz?
i don’t think it would be a good idea that one server could own “art” for example, and no one else could contribute. and on the other side it would not be a good idea if everyone could add sites for “art” as then it’s just a federated wiki? you still would have to fight spam? do all entries in “art” have the same priority? or should there be some voting, or verifying from other instances maybe? but then rough instances could vote for each other?!
how big is the spam problem on lemmy?
Rich text in the modern world is almost exclusively solved by using markdown because it’s such a trivial solution.
citation needed
markdown is not a trivial solution: there are many different implementations, it’s a barrier for non technical people and it allows you to embed any html, so you need an additional html sanitizer.
my definition of a “rich textbox” is a WYSIWYG field, and markdown does not help you with this?!
yes, you probably would not save the formatted text normalized over multiple database columns, and only use a single field for a the text with formatting embedded in html or another format, and another one with the text without formatting for possible full text search. but even if you would solve this using markdown (which limits you to a quite small subset of text formatting and bad extensibility) you would still need a good data format to store the formatted text in memory that allows you to render the text. and markdown does not help you with this either?!
hoped to discover a good open source software for collaborative editing, but their solution is based on https://standardnotes.com/
