I got into it out of curiosity as it seems very popular online, but I think I’m kinda done with it at this point though. Jinwoo is just a complete one-dimentional Gary Stu char.

[…]Looping through the list you’ve been given, and making extra queries adds complexity and delay, when the expectation from the user is that this list should appear pretty quickly.[…]

While you’re correct about this, this could be handled dynamically. Simply fetch the list of posts quickly as usual, and then start polling for crossposts in the background and if any two appear in the current frontpage the user is seeing, merge them.

My counter to that, would be that if you aren’t using the API in the way the developers expected, your app has ceased to be frontend, and is instead its own program that’s scraping data from it.

Not at all. That’s not what scraping means.

I just completely disagree with the idea that a frontend should stick to what the backend design is, especially for a FOSS project.

Frontends generate the main feed by querying api/v3/post/list. This doesn’t provide any crosspost info - for that you have to go into the post itself by querying api/v3/post. As such, frontends would have to do a fair bit of extra work to wrangle the required information for a main feed that combined crossposts.

Most frontends already display available crossposts so you’re not wasting anything more than grabbing all the comment sections as well.

I’d argue that you have a problem as soon as you start saying ‘frontends need to do some extra work’ - it breaks the dynamic between backends and frontends. Backends should be big, complicated things, worked on by people familiar with the project, to provide all the logic, whereas frontends should be light, relatively easy to write, runnable on devices with limited resources, and mostly focused on how the information provided to them should be displayed. They should store the user’s preferences, and login details, and that’s it - everything else should come from the backend.

I don’t agree at all. There’s space for complex frontends which attempt to adjust the feed according to their own logic, as well as minimalistic frontends which follow the backend’s design explicitly.

So I just installed it to check and it doesn’t do that. It just makes crossposts a bit more visible.

However it looks like a neat app so I’ll take it for a drive for a bit

Does it show all comments in the same place like I suggest, or does one have to click on each crosspost to see them?

This is what this post is suggesting, yes

That’s a 404. Is there a git repo? I could use obtainium

thanks

I’m really curious how someone can exploit a script that is meant to be running locally with no external facing interface

A mining rig should work, but you might want to restrict the GPU to one model, as loading 4G on PCIx1 when switching models would be too slow. Only one way to try it out really. At worst it could make an alchemist.

Separately do you know if AMD Radeon RX580s are capable of contributing to AI Horde?

Not currently I think

I also developed and am running the AI Horde but that’s not very fediverse adjacent (yet) :D

unfortunately since this goes via the pict-rs, there’s no such information. Hopefully the tooling will increase in the future.

However this tool is fuzzy by necessity. Most, if not all your hits will be false positive (because CSAM is actually rare). So you will need human review for that sort of approach

It’s the primary anti-CSAM protection in the AI Horde and it’s been running for months. I’ve done enough tests to be convinced it works, but I’m no scientist of course.

I’m hoping someone will do rigorous research on my approach at some point.

You can go one step further and use a conda env, which would also include the proper python version. All you need then is the micromamba binary. I might develop that as all it would need is to run a shell script to start

theoretically this tool could be adjusted to go via scp and read your filesystem pict-rs storage as well, Just someone has to code it.

As funny as this is, please don’t use this. It took a long time to get people to be vigilant about shady links, and this being in use anywhere will cause them to start unlearning it.

You couldn’t replace oracle with sun early on at least?

Those who had defederated via fediseer automated blacklist in advance should be clean.

I don’t think this makes much sense. You can’t synchronize upvotes/downvotes and posts. These belong to a different account.
