00:14:15 <pabs> mikolaj|m: I'm currently using pup for the scraping side of that, looks similar to yours https://github.com/ericchiang/pup
00:19:42 <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
00:21:13 <mikolaj|m> Btw, in case anyone wants to try, the repo is here, but please dont post it anywhere on social media: https://github.com/mikwielgus/skrob . i sadly havent had the time to write documentation :(
00:21:37 <pabs> sounds useful
00:23:37 <fireonlive> ooh
00:23:53 <fireonlive> i've been using htmlq but this sounds nicer
00:24:50 <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
00:26:03 <mikolaj|m> It also works on JSON endpoints by converting JSON to XML, as cursed as it sounds
00:28:00 <mikolaj|m> So you can crawl and scrape JSON endpoints like Discourse's or Hacker News's
00:28:28 <fireonlive> mikolaj|m: https://dl.fireon.live/irc/6a2fbc492b5563b8/whathaveyoubuilt.png
00:28:58 <mikolaj|m> It's also concurrent
00:29:25 <mikolaj|m> So you can have multiple connections working concurrently
00:29:26 <fireonlive> :P
00:30:18 <mikolaj|m> Here's an example Discourse crawler/scraper: https://github.com/mikwielgus/skrob/blob/develop/tests/test_skrob.py#L131
00:39:44 <JAA> Neat

03:41:02 <JAA> I always wonder how many takes these ones require to get one where he stays completely on-brand throughout.
03:50:35 <fireonlive> hmm yeah. part of me just assumed he one taked it but no way right?

06:32:00 <fireonlive> >I think I am affected. What do I need to do? OWASP has already removed your information from the Internet, so no immediate action on your part is required.
09:08:11 <fireonlive> do you think the machines would have honoured their deal with Cypher?
09:08:31 <fireonlive> would he actually get what he wanted after?
09:17:05 <steering> is this... the matrix?
09:21:10 <fireonlive> yes
13:29:47 <that_lurker> https://news-patreon.com/articles/f95zone-acquisition-update
13:47:46 <nukke> what even is f95zone? I looked at it yesterday and it looks like a piracy site for hentai games
14:02:03 <nyany> that_lurker: It's fake
14:02:18 <nyany> nukke: that's precisely what it is basically
14:02:54 <that_lurker> nyany: I know. Did you open the that link?
14:03:00 <that_lurker> -the
14:03:22 <nyany> no
14:03:29 <nyany> and at this point i don't trust it
14:03:32 <nyany> lol
14:03:42 <nukke> :|
14:03:54 <nyany> i believe nukke's reaction is very telling
14:04:22 <nukke> turns out it's real, though. click the link
14:04:41 <nukke> I'm surprised they paid so little for it
14:05:53 <that_lurker> Visa and mastercard don't like spicy stuff so that might be why
14:06:31 <nyany> i don't trust either of you
14:09:33 <nyany> ahhhhh
14:09:35 <nyany> i can see it
14:12:55 <nyany> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/V5lz2RVj/image.png
14:12:59 <nyany> my money's on that being a rickroll
14:15:25 <that_lurker> the one and only
14:33:08 <DigitalDragons> discord's loot boxes trailer now has 600m+ views after they looped it in the corner of every active discord user accidentally making a view bot lmao https://youtu.be/cc2-4ci4G84
14:39:41 <nyany> discord can go pound sand lol
14:40:10 <nukke> discord++
14:40:10 -eggdrop- [karma] 'discord' now has -6 karma!
14:40:14 <OrIdow6> Hahaha
14:40:58 <nyany> No, seriously
14:41:29 <nyany> 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
15:19:19 <steering> DigitalDragons: "accidentally"
15:19:55 <steering> i saw an article about how "you can choose not to interact with it" and my only thought was "for now"
15:28:41 <nyany> yeah
15:29:24 <qwertyasdfuiopghjkl> For me it currently shows 1 406 948 041 views
15:33:38 <nyany> 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
15:45:12 <steering> nitro never had a chance of generating enough revenue to cover their costs
15:46:36 <joepie91|m> paying money is never enough for these sorts of investor-led corporations, they will always want more
15:46:49 <joepie91|m> that's basically their business
15:46:51 <DigitalDragons> I would be shocked if Discord is even breaking even
15:47:38 <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
15:48:25 <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"
15:48:48 <joepie91|m> which is mostly just a bookkeeping trick
15:49:30 <joepie91|m> (that is; a company that says they are losing money may well have a higher revenue than their operational expenses anyway)
15:50:25 <steering> I mean, that's also true, consistent profitability isn't enough, you need growth
15:51:11 <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...
15:59:25 <nukke> doesn't discord already have an opt-out "we can use your data to train AI" thing?
16:00:26 <nukke> https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/11ihqq6/discord_will_possibly_record_your_video_calls/
16:05:32 <DigitalDragons> No they do not
16:05:58 <DigitalDragons> that was for a "clips" feature when screen sharing

16:42:43 <Barto> fireonlive: owap? sounds like it
16:42:50 <fireonlive> ye
16:43:41 <Barto> i've raised my criticism recently about owasp and its governance, but this aint related, except that their reputation is again tanking
16:43:57 <Barto> so yeah, they didnt need that
16:51:34 <fireonlive> >_<

17:22:32 <nyany> This seems like a dying breath move to me
17:33:11 <fireonlive> wat
17:33:25 <fireonlive> and god damn it i'm going to have to try that aren't i
17:33:38 <fireonlive> nyany: you going to risk it?
17:33:43 <nyany> body and mind, yes
17:33:54 <nyany> in the name of discovery
17:34:17 <fireonlive> excellent

19:48:04 <fireonlive> i'd love something like this for my washer/dryer combo unit..
19:50:37 <fireonlive> wonder if there's a smart plug that works with the typical 'dryer socket'
19:58:39 <fireonlive> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39903742#39904842 < haven't heard of this 'JOSH' before
19:58:51 <fireonlive> https://github.com/josh-project/josh
19:59:20 <catia> you make it smart for yourself
19:59:21 <nukke> fireonlive: should be "easy" to do with esp32/esp8266 modules https://hackaday.com/2023/10/20/spinning-up-a-new-laundry-monitor/
19:59:34 <catia> you can get one of the plugs that measure draw and do stuff based on that
20:02:04 <nukke> or just conenct it to samsung's servers
20:02:31 <fireonlive> oh neat :)
20:02:53 <fireonlive> clamp meter might be easier
20:04:11 <fireonlive> i'd have to check because i cannot remember, but otherwise i think i have a 14-30?  https://dl.fireon.live/irc/e78910d019c54e2d/plug-types.png
20:04:52 <fireonlive> something odd looking :p
20:05:13 <fireonlive> so unsure if they make a smart polug for that
20:08:47 <catia> weird
20:12:04 <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
20:12:18 <fireonlive> no tones or anything
21:11:10 <JAA> 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.
21:12:20 <JAA> fireonlive: Just rig it up with some wires, WCGW?
21:13:11 <fireonlive> :3
21:43:10 <steering> why is making new accounts suddenly so much worse everywhere?
21:44:24 <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"
21:49:23 <myself> steering: that may have to do with your IP reputation; did you recently start using a VPN or something?
21:50:50 <steering> nah, it's been a few years (& I don't really use VPN, occasionally an SSH tunnel)
21:51:36 <steering> sooooooome of it might be my move from $big_state to $flyover_state but it seems like it was getting worse before that
21:51:58 <steering> more of what i'm talking about is brand new types of captcha that just suck
21:51:59 <myself> Maybe an uptick in spam activity using AI image classifiers and we're watching captchas hurtle towards obsolescence?
21:52:09 <myself> and flail madly on the way
21:52:09 <steering> the "point it in the right direction" stuff for example
21:52:27 <steering> yeah... I guess...
21:54:01 <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

22:05:51 <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
22:13:20 <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

22:17:21 <nukke> Yes except
22:17:25 <nukke> Exactly**
22:18:59 <that_lurker> Good thing you only need to select 4 to get through. (Unless they changed it)
