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:

• open a terminal
• cd folder/you/want/to/serve/from
• python -m http.server -b 127.0.0.1

open 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!

First of all: Do they want to make real live friends? having only internet friends doesn’t sound too bad, does it?

they have tried to socialize in a fishbowl event but they weren’t able to get a friend there as I feel it.

you don’t get a friends from a single event. give it more time. much more time. some other comment mention hobbies or groups, and i think this is the key: you don’t go to those events because you want to make friend, but because of you interest and you make friends by accident. Don’t pressure it!

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…

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?

hm. i did not think about serious illnesses when writing my comment. maybe we can specify this as a “not running system”, but i can understand that my first snarky comment could be perceived as rude when you have problems with your body. i fear i walked right in the privileged trap without realizing it?

you can not.

just think about it: 80 to 100 years uptime, no reboot, no fall back system, not even a cold spare. and you want to change something while its running? madness! maybe if you are very lucky you may be able to replace some of the internal components… but not to upgrade, only if your on the risk to loose the whole system…
