Yes! This community will be moving in the next week or so. Most likely lemmy.zip, but I'm not sure yet. Gonna take a look at some instances to find which one I'll migrate to.

I'll also likely make up a quick bot to repost all the old posts into the new community.

Honest question: How large is the file size for your instance? Like, how many Gb does it all take up?

If it was designed for bending, would soldering be enough? Or would it crack too easily?

[–] Bubs@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Hopefully. I apparently got them all for free at some time lol (maybe when they released their latest game?). Hope they do that again.

EDIT: Apparently you can get the other episodes through a weird method. Can't try it myself since I already own the game.

First episode only!

They give the first episode away to hook you into the game, then you realize you have to pay for the rest of the game. Looks like episodes 2 and 3 are ten bucks each.

OP could care fewer.

Pounce or sand is a fine powder, most often made from powdered cuttlefish bone or sandarac resin, that was used both to dry ink and to sprinkle on a rough writing surface to make it smooth enough for writing. This was especially needed if the paper came "unsized", that is, lacking the thin gelatinous material used to fill the surface of the paper and make it smooth enough for writing with a quill or a steel nib.

I'm guessing they made a bet?

If she wins, she eats his soul (or whatever she does), but if she loses, she has to go back into the TV.

Everyone arguing over DVD players or ripping discs and I'm like "Ooooo! M.A.S.H. collection!"

[–] Bubs@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

For sure. The one benefit of the subreddit is looking through all the old posts using top/all.

Quick Links

For Users

Revolt is an open source chat website/program/app. While the project doesn't say it out loud, Revolt is designed as a replacement for Discord. It has many (but not yet all) of the features present in Discord.

Revolt has a web app, desktop programs, as well as mobile apps.

Quick Start Gide

Feel free to copy paste this section to share with others:

  1. Download the revolt app:
  1. Create an account in the app missing your email (no verification required)
  2. Select a username (uses a number tag system like username#1234)

OR

  1. Sign up on the website: https://app.revolt.chat/login/create
  2. Use the web app to access Revolt: https://app.revolt.chat/
  3. Use a desktop client to access Revolt:

For Developers

I'm not much of a developer myself, so I'll leave some of the links here.

Here's the official GitHub repository

Full Revolt developer documentation here.

Other Alternatives

The following are some other services that offer discord like chat:

Spacebar Looks promising but seems to be rather early in development. No apps yet. Built as a 1-to-1 reverse engineer of discord, with compatability of existing clients and bots in mind.

 

I have an inspection scope camera that I'm attempting to repair. It's one with a camera on the end of a flexible rod to see into tight spaces. The pins that lead to the camera came out of the connector. I tried looking for teardowns or even replacement parts, but found nothing.

Two pins are still inserted, but I'm not confident they are in the right places. I want to get it working without the risk of frying everything. I've done my best to find where each pin goes, but there's not enough info for me figure it out on my own. The camera rod also includes an LED for light.

Here's a photo of the connector as it is:

And here is the socket with it's pins labeled (the labels correspond to the testing pads and not to the socket pins):

Here's a zoomed out pic if it's of any use:

I have a multimeter, so I can do any testing you can suggest. Unfortunately, I was not able to disassemble the camera to trace any wires.

Short version of the situation is that I have an old site I frequent for user written stories. The site is ancient (think early 2000's), and has terrible tools for sorting and searching the stories. Half of the time, stories disappear from author profiles. Thousands of stories and you can only sort by top, new, and 30-day top.

I'm in the process of programming a scraper tool so I can archive the stories and give myself a library to better find forgotten stories on the site. I'll be storing tags, dates, authors, etc, as well as the full body of the text.

Concerning the data, there are a few thousand stories- ascii only, and various data points for each story with the body of many stores reaching several pages long.

Currently, I'm using Python to compile the data and would like to know what storage solution is ideal for my situation. I have a little familiarity with SQL, json, and yaml, but not enough to know what might be best. I am also open to any other solutions that work well with Python.
