  • Hey, thanks again for the assistance! I didn't get back to this for awhile; life things. I left an update up at the top for anyone in the future.

  • You're too kind! I didn't think I would ever actually need any of them, to be honest. Was preparing for a "grid is down" scenario, not a memory-hole situation.

    It's unfortunate that we're entering a period where knowledge is actively suppressed.

    So much the better than you've got this forum for us. I don't know when they new subreddits are going to catch the banhammer, but I sure would like to see people migrate off a corporate platform. No freedom in a company town.

  • I appreciate it! I'll throw him a few bucks for his work and guide. Wouldn't want to see that become standard in fosscad or a lot more people would end up losing fingers, I think :p

  • Beautiful! Not only do we have the knowledge saved, but with any luck, we'll catch some of those people who would otherwise wander off into the void.

  • Yeah, I ran into the same thing with the orientation; got farther after orienting it vertically, but like you said, he had a reason for the original orientation.

    And I have not done that; I've never even heard of the calilantern. I will for sure give that a go. Thanks!

  • Thanks! I'm dialed in on flow ratio, pressure advance, e-step, as far as I can tell and I've got several other successful prints. None of them using printed threads like this, though. I'll see if I can bend his ear about it.

    Decimator/DecimatAR with OEM barrel

    I have been incapable of finishing a decimator build with an OEM barrel; 2 different OEM barrels as a matter of fact.

    I've reprinted the upper twice (once because I wasn't sure if I just really messed up the print, once for stripping barrel nut threads) and I've reprinted the barrel nut 3-4 times at this point.

    I started this build just before fosscad was nuked, and since the Ark is back up (https://forum.guncadindex.com/c/ark@fosscad.io), I was able to see that there are threads where others have had this issue.

    Has anyone overcome this issue personally? The build looks great and I love the AR fcg but I'm hitting a wall here. Should I just drill and pin the barrel nut with a couple of set screws?

  • Submissions are in git, but comments still have awhile to cook. Wanted to stay up for them tonight but I don't think they'll be done til morning. I'll check in when they're uploaded.

  • Oh, that's awesome, thanks! Grey Summit Gear has actually got a lot of this built out; I'm working on getting the last couple years of data ready and then he can finish rebuilding the fosscad sub at https://forum.guncadindex.com/c/ark@fosscad.io

  • Just a heads up; I was able to finish pulling down the archives, but it's going to take awhile to parse; wasn't expecting to need this much storage touching my compute lol. I'm hoping I can have those ready for upload tonight or early tomorrow AM.

  • Hey, if you hadn't built this platform for us, it wouldn't be happening. Seeing a bit of the old internet come together really warms my cold, dead heart.

  • Amen to that!

    Looks like the download speed dipped a bit while I was out; around halfway through now. So another 12 hours or so before the torrents are done, sooner if it picks back up, then I'll need to parse.

    I'll ding you as soon as I've got the new zst's up.

    And thank you! Would have taken me a week to put that scripting together.

    Go team venture.

  • Had to rearrange some things, but I'm pulling data from end of 2022 through 2024. It's a chonker. This is everything, so will need to parse through and find anything id'd as fosscad. Not sure how long it would take to iterate through all of that; it's over 1TB.

    I'll be back this evening to update progress; download speed is pretty decent so if no big changes, should have the raw files tonight.

    Edit Happy surprise; it's everything from 2023 to 06/2025. So losing the last handful of months of data (unless more gets added later). Still a pretty huge win.

    Thanks to Grey Summit Gear for kicking the shit out of this, and the folks who pulled all these dumps!

  • Reposting here in case it gets lost in the sauce:

    There should be more; they may be split into several differential files. I'm going to work on getting the others right now, but I've got limited time before I have to leave for work. If I can't get them up in time, I've been using resources like https://academictorrents.com/details/ba051999301b109eab37d16f027b3f49ade2de13/tech&filelist=1 (if url's can't be posted, it's academictorrents dot com, posts by Watchful1) I could have sworn I grabbed newer data for the fosscad subreddit specifically from a different site, but may have to go through the monthly diffs in this link and pull out anything under the /fosscad id.

    These are much bigger, since they're the entirety of reddit (or top 20,000 subs, something like that), so download and parse is going to take a lot longer. Several hundred gigs to pull and parse. On review, no way I can do it all this morning but I can at least get some downloads cooking. Going to start pulling comments/subs for 2023, but won't be able to check on any of this until roughly 6pm eastern.

  • Ah dude, you rock! Sorry, fell out early last night. There should be updated archives, up to 2024 at least. Let me see if I can find them; may end up being several differential files.

    I've got an hour before I have to do meatspace stuff, but I'll see what I can knock out.

  • I was able to get the comments uploaded after splitting them in 7zip. After combining with 7zip, hashes still match and first couple of items looked good to go.

    Also threw a python module and example loop in there, and an example comment and submission item in the readme.

    I was thinking of making a class for the threads, another class for comments and making each submission an instance of the thread class, comments as instances in a list for their parent thread so we can track comment author and utc for chronology.

    I can build out classes and assigning comments to threads. I imagine you're going to be much faster at all of this than I am, so whenever you've got the image scrape ready, let me know and I'll start grabbing my share of the links.

    Apologies if crossposting is against the rules; I'm not entirely sure where the lines are drawn here yet.

    I posted this in lemmy.fosscad (fosscad@lemmy?), but realize that may not be the most active venue.

    I grabbed archives of fosscad and took a look at the contents of the zst's. I think I could probably rebuild the contents of the subreddit in some manner or another; the question is scale and hosting. How would we make the posts easily searchable, where would they live, what endpoint can we upload hundreds of thousands of comments into in a reasonable time frame... all that fun stuff.

    The archives don't contain pictures, but contain links to the pictures and the ones I've checked are currently still live (meaning the pics are still hosted on reddit). Dunno how long that will remain the case.

    I have no idea what the size of the archives would be with pics downloaded; gigs, a TB, no clue. I'm posting this to gauge public interest and I haven't done much preliminary work (oh, these
