Some web hosting providers have pricing that's good for running the ArchiveTeam Warrior. I already had a Hetzner server, for instance, and their network pricing is that incoming traffic is free and only outgoing traffic is limited (to 2TB/month at my level, IIRC, so it's not very limited). Since this 500px task so far has downloaded 3x as much as it uploaded, that's perfect.

If you already have a server/VPS somewhere, see if it's priced well for you to help the ArchiveTeam!

A couple of people at #osb18 expressed regret they didn’t get to browse the librarybox, so I have an offer: if you give me a usb drive I’ll copy mine for you to start your own librarybox.

Aw, I got my IP address rate-limited for the 500px ArchiveTeam project. If you try the ArchiveTeam Warrior (it's really easy!), don't turn concurrency up to 6, apparently. Stopping for a while, I'll try again later...

most common question asked in a maths classroom: "why do we have to do this why can't we just use a calculator"

blatant lie told to every pupil since like 1980: "you won't always have a calculator available"

actual truth: "calculators are devil objects, none of them work the same, you'll only really be acquainted with how exactly one of them works across your lifetime and when it comes time to use it again you'll have forgotten how it works anyway"

500px is shutting down access to their #CreativeCommons images! Use this VM to backup the data before the capitalists destroy it. https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ArchiveTeam_Warrior

@hoodieak @jamey
According to "Linguistics for Everyone: An Introduction", from Middle English onwards, the letter "k" replaced "c" before high and mid vowels but "c" was retained before low vowels and consonants.

this lake sponsored by the last "universal jobs guarantee".

no really: they had nothing better for these people to do, so they made them dig out this lake with shovels.

I mean, it's neat I suppose, but that's what you'll be doing under the "universal jobs guarantee."

it's basically work that has no purpose, like this lake has no purpose other than to sit there and look nice.

instead, we could pay people to improve themselves and their skills through universal basic income.

so, no, a universal jobs guarantee is not what I'm looking for.

Why is "invoke" spelled with a 'k' but "invocation" is spelled with a 'c'? This has troubled me for years. 😠

I'm so excited: I think my new WordPress plugin now fully implements the Feed Paging and Archiving standard! (Context above in this thread.) It may have bugs still but it seems to work. 🎉

I'm looking for review and feedback from WordPress and PHP developers:

Reclaiming RSS

“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”

Best part of doing private-room karaoke with a bunch of web developers is watching them identify, through careful trial and error, exactly which HTML tags and emoji the TV is willing to render

Keep being brave.

If you don't have the energy to be brave, ask someone to help you be brave <3
