mikolaj|m: I'm currently using pup for the scraping side of that, looks similar to yours
github.com/ericchiang/pup
-
mikolaj|m
pabs: pup is great, but it can't crawl on its own (you need to have something else to drive it, e.g. a script). The tool im working on can do that, without still becoming too complicated
-
mikolaj|m
Btw, in case anyone wants to try, the repo is here, but please dont post it anywhere on social media:
github.com/mikwielgus/skrob . i sadly havent had the time to write documentation :(
-
pabs
sounds useful
-
fireonlive
ooh
-
fireonlive
i've been using htmlq but this sounds nicer
-
mikolaj|m
It's almost done, but i also want it to be able to resume its own state from a logfile, this is the last feature before i finish it i believe
-
mikolaj|m
It also works on JSON endpoints by converting JSON to XML, as cursed as it sounds
-
mikolaj|m
So you can crawl and scrape JSON endpoints like Discourse's or Hacker News's
-
fireonlive
-
mikolaj|m
It's also concurrent
-
mikolaj|m
So you can have multiple connections working concurrently

If they're willing to take a strong stance on being anti-ad and then suddenly go "well, maybe sponsored quests won't hurt" i can't be confident they won't backtrack on other things

What frustrates me the most is that I'm paying Discord a monthly fee plus all of these bonuses so they don't have to look to serving "ads" as a way to boost revenue and apparently that wasn't good enough
-
steering
nitro never had a chance of generating enough revenue to cover their costs
-
joepie91|m
paying money is never enough for these sorts of investor-led corporations, they will always want more
-
joepie91|m
that's basically their business
-
DigitalDragons
I would be shocked if Discord is even breaking even
-
joepie91|m
also important to remember that whether a company is "profitable" is generally calculated in very dubious ways for VC-funded stuff in particular
-
joepie91|m
so if a VC-funded company says "we are losing money" then that may very well mean "we are losing money after paying down massive amounts of money to our investors"
-
joepie91|m
which is mostly just a bookkeeping trick
-
joepie91|m
(that is; a company that says they are losing money may well have a higher revenue than their operational expenses anyway)
-
steering
I mean, that's also true, consistent profitability isn't enough, you need growth
-
steering
but more fundamentally you need profitability and discord had no chance of that with nitro and game partnerships -vs- media hosting, call hosting, moderation, dev...
-
nukke
doesn't discord already have an opt-out "we can use your data to train AI" thing?
-
nukke
-
DigitalDragons
No they do not
-
DigitalDragons
that was for a "clips" feature when screen sharing

i'd love something like this for my washer/dryer combo unit..

wonder if there's a smart plug that works with the typical 'dryer socket'

you make it smart for yourself

you can get one of the plugs that measure draw and do stuff based on that
-
nukke
or just conenct it to samsung's servers

oh neat :)

something odd looking :p
-
fireonlive
so unsure if they make a smart polug for that
-
catia
weird
-
fireonlive
the washer/dryer unit i have is very dumb, and also doesn't make any noise... when it's done you get a green led under the 'done' label and when the dryer is done you get .... an absence of noise
-
fireonlive
no tones or anything

Re Discord profitability, I have my doubts they reached that yet. Definitely hadn't as of a couple years ago, and I can't imagine they would keep it secret (and not move towards IPO etc.) if they did by now.
-
JAA
fireonlive: Just rig it up with some wires, WCGW?

why is making new accounts suddenly so much worse everywhere?
-
steering
like instead of "click 2-3 images that match/don't match 3-5 times" it's "do 5-10 steps 7-10 times, and maybe we'll make you do it again once you click the link in the email"
-
myself
steering: that may have to do with your IP reputation; did you recently start using a VPN or something?
-
steering
nah, it's been a few years (& I don't really use VPN, occasionally an SSH tunnel)
-
steering
sooooooome of it might be my move from $big_state to $flyover_state but it seems like it was getting worse before that
-
steering
more of what i'm talking about is brand new types of captcha that just suck
-
myself
Maybe an uptick in spam activity using AI image classifiers and we're watching captchas hurtle towards obsolescence?
-
myself
and flail madly on the way
-
steering
the "point it in the right direction" stuff for example
-
steering
yeah... I guess...
-
steering
the worst is when it's from a site that *isn't* Shwitter and you'd expect them to care about making the signup flow smooth, lol
-
fireonlive

fireonlive
someone reported that some site had you do like 20 of those 'point the object in this way' and 'click on the object that doesn't belong' and other like harder/stupider ones and if you failed any one at any point (even 20/20) you had to start over and do 20 of them again
-
nukke
Ok so real talk: for those image grid captchas, do y'all select squares that have like, tiny parts of the object? ex. A square with a slice of the tire
