The impact the reddit migration has on the fediverse! in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] iempqob4@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty certain this is just mastodon users, the Lemmy and Kbin usercounts are quite tricky to track.

This recent push of Masto users I believe were being attributed to musks rate limits and restriction of anonymous reading of tweets.

Podcast: Anybody archiving these? Are there any good ways to? in c/datahoarder@lemmy.ml

I've also noticed the internet archive is doing some podcast stuff interesting the paywalled podcasts are there, but not accessible to the public.

Far enough, no point them painting a copyright target on their backs.

Would be interested to see torrents of podcasts get more love, when I last checked there really wasn't much out there.

API Clusterfuck! ~ Reddit said 'Fuck you, we don't care.' so here's where we stand. (www.reddit.com)
 

Here's the bottom line....

  • Reddit exists to serve you ads, farm and sell your data.
  • Reddit doesn't like or support you data hoarding.
  • Reddit only cares if you're making them money.
  • Reddit says one thing and does another.
  • Reddit will strip and ban mods that aren't willing to bend over.

We could go on, but you get the point... You have no say here, you lick the boots or fuck you.

So the API is about to be shafted, many apps/bots will die, other things will change, you know what's up. But the more important thing directly related to the DataHoarding community is that Reddit has now very effectively killed Pushshift from a data hoarding perspective which was the only place you could get the most complete up-to-date Reddit data in bulk.

Reddit has now taken control of Pushshift, had them delete bulk data downloads, prevents them releasing new dumps and limits PS API access to only mods Reddit approves of.

/r/DataHoarder moving forward....

We will continue to exist and operate as we have for as long as Reddit allows us to. We will promote alternatives for those of you who wish leave finding DataHoarder communities elsewhere. We will promote every project, tool and download that seeks to keep Reddit data available to both DataHoarders and researchers. We will continue to hoard. We will not hit any fucking delete buttons.

New rule.

We see a lot of basic vaguely dh related tech support questions here, we're going to be more actively removing these posts. Many of these also clearly break rule 1 as they're asked every other week.

Sidebar updates.

Happy Hoarding.

Best flatbed scanned for archiving (lemmy.world)
 

I recall seeing some discussion about this over on original DataHoarder. I'm looking to begin the process of archiving a daily large number of 8x10 prints of family photos.

Anyone have recommendations on scanners / tools to make this process go smoother?

I don't really want to send these photos to a company, as they're just too sentimental to risk loosing.

My current setup of shitbox servers in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I'm in a similar boat with storage stress, I have a mini Dell Optiplex with a single nvme and 2.5in drive available.

I have bought a small m.2 to 2 x SATA card, but I really need a nice housing + power for internal 3.5in drives to make it useful.

Anyone have experience with this? All I see online are USB drive caddies, I'd really love it to be SATA.
