This came to my attention recently via someone I follow on Mastodon. I haven’t set time aside yet to set it up and try it out but since I heard about ChatGPT, etc, I thought this would be an excellent use of the tech.

Yep. Everyone in the thread asking this question seems clueless to me. Macros are already a threat. I can’t imagine what a shitshow full on python would be.

Can you expand on how you got blocked? First time I’ve heard of this.

Y tho?

What is there to teach? It’s conversational. If you can write coherently, you can use GPTs. Someone in the English department should leverage “AI” hype to get more funding.

Those people need to pull their head out.

It should be on the government to post this information on a public government website. It should be on the people to go read it.

I do believe governments should be looking at alternative alerting options though. They should take the recent API rate hikes by Twitter as a bright red warning that they should never have relied on private companies like this for important alerts.

Meta started blocking news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms for all users in Canada this month in response to a new law requiring internet giants to pay for news articles.

Look, I hate Facebook as much as the next guy but you have to admit, Canada doesn’t have much to bitch about. They did this to themselves.

Facebook doesn’t want to pay for news articles so they decided not to have news at all. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Huehuehue

Restic is awesome and has been rock solid for me for a few years now. Good choice.

Ah, sort of a “yes, and” attitude. For something so important, I can’t blame them. Texts, calls, emails, social, push alerts - do it all.

What was Twitter doing that a service like Pushover couldn’t do for them? Same for the city/municipality who stopped sending out their transit updates via Twitter.

So you need physical access to the keyboard to train the system.

You need physical access to a keyboard to train the system. Knowing what keyboard your target uses seems easier than gaining physical access to it, assuming you want to stay undetected.

This is the correct answer.

I run several containers that offer up http/s and they obviously can’t all use 80/443. Just adjust the left side of that port setting and you’re good.

That plus a reverse proxy for offering these services up over the public internet, if you choose to do so, is a killer pair.

Of course I can’t speak for him but I think he’d rather Reddit change course.

Apollo was polished. It can be good and look good at the same time.

I’m using PRAW/python and app credentials I made just for me and PRAW seems to have some good rate limit logic built in.

I also tried Power Delete Suite which seemed to work very quickly and that caused me to worry that I was running afoul of rate limits. My own python script utilizing PRAW works much more slowly but IMO that’s a good thing.

I’m hoping that once I have a nice list of comment ids I can hit them all via my script/PRAW, however long it takes.

I think people may need to wait. Here’s what I’ve read and seen myself so far:

You can only edit/delete so many comments as it seems reddit only indexes the last 1000. After editing/deleting everything you can, you can see you still have unedited/undeleted comments by searching your username like: site:reddit.com "usernameHere". I saw plenty of comments going back years (I have a 14yr old account) that I wasn’t able to touch.

The strategy seems to be to be requesting your data from reddit and then use the comment ids contained in that export to target them for edits/deletes via the API, assuming it’s still usable for small scripts like the ones we want to use.

We’re tracking our requested/received dates in this thread if you’re interested in adding yours to the list.

Keeping the account around for now for the same reason.

I’ve been wondering if Reddit has been fucking with stuff just since the API stuff started. This is a data point indicating yes.

Full self driving just around the corner.
