  • Any interest in building out archives of fosscad as a browsable resource?

  • Awesome! https://github.com/hoglegcc/rebuildtheark

    I was able to add the submissions zst, but I'm running into a file limit size to add the comments archive. Compressed, the comments are around 35MB (480 uncompressed) and github has a limit of 25MB. Worst case scenario I can get it to you another way.

    I'm technically supposed to be doing something else right now, but I should be able to get the comments issue squared in the next couple of hours. Also, dunno if you want a private repo for the actual bot; don't know if you keys you're worried about or anything like that. I can dump a private repo, or if you want to make one and add me, either way works. Or if public repo works for you, that works for me, too.

    Thanks!

  • Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not tied in to any social media, but if you're fluent in discord, matrix, element, any of the other popular IRC-likes, getting a room/discord set up would be super helpful. Or maybe if there is an existing discord for the community, point me in the direction and I'll try to join.

    If you're not on social media, either, no worries (believe me, I understand). The encouragement helps, too.

  • Oh, that's awesome. If you've got a bot that can already parse and push to fosscad.io, we should definitely be able to tweak that. I'm not active on discord (any social media really), but I imagine that's the place to organize an effort like this. If there is an alternative that others prefer (I've heard about matrix and element), I'm open to suggestion.

    I've been fighting the flu the last couple of days, but on the upswing now. Dunno how much I'll be able to dig in today, but I'll get a github set up; I can dump the zst's there and some psuedocode and notes. If I can see what your bot is ingesting, I can try to match output from the zst's to it.

    I think there will be a bit of work marrying comments to submissions; they're split up into two separate archives. Since the pictures are time sensitive (potentially), maybe the move is trying to focus on looping through the submissions and grabbing the pics from their urls, then rebuilding after the fact.

    I've got plenty of local storage for pics or if we can dump straight to lemmy, that would be great. I'm completely ignorant to this platform as far as rate-limiting, storage, any of that fun stuff. I don't know how big a whole subreddit will end up being, but I imagine it's not inconsequential.
