GWG I just finished a less than rousing game of Bingo. Any excitement here?

KevinMarks_ Google has a face detection API as a service you could use for facw aware cropping
#
KevinMarks_ Twitter doesn't do that AFAIK

#
petermolnar hm, not fun. trying out IPFS resulted in a portscan alarm at my server hosting company...
#
voxpelli that sounds pretty bad :/
#
cmal petermolnar: are they threatening to suspend you or did it just raises alarms as a potential intrusion?

#
cmal so I'm already 300 lines into my timeseries database (just reinventing the wheel, that's all :))
#
petermolnar potential blocking of server; service provideris hetzner.de
#
petermolnar I'll try to figure out how to solve this
#
cmal I've only had trouble with Hetzner, personally
#
voxpelli petermolnar: what caused it? the way that IPFS works or something else?
#
petermolnar I think this is how it works, yes

#
petermolnar this is the letter I got
#
cmal so it's not even using randomized port so they just have to setup their monitoring rules to ignore valid IPFS traffic on those ports :-/
#
petermolnar I'll try to get in touch with them, but for now, I'm not going to risk my box getting blocked

sknebel hm, rereading about IPFS it seems like their integration with traditional sites is still not great. as in, the only way to have things work in a normal browser and be upgraded by the available browser-plugins to IPFS if installed is to use their public gateways... which I'm not comfortable with

#
cmal it's still a big work in progress indeed, but an impressive one :)

#
sknebel sometimes it seems a bit all over the place, but yes, they have enough energy that they'll get somewhere. and admittedly browser integration IS tricky, esp. if you want to mess with low-level stuff with security risks.
#
sknebel cmal: are you involved with IPFS or have tried it?
#
cmal I've just been trying it out so far, not really convenient just yet but I see the possibilities beyond that ^^
#
cmal (for example, for a truly-p2p cdn)
#
sknebel cmal: right, that's what I'd like too, but I want a fallback to my own server, not through a gateway. and that bit seems to be missing for now (you can use DNS to say "this domains content is available via IPFS", but the browser extensions don't check/see DNS records and can only "upgrade" requests going via a known gateway)
#
cmal as far as I remember reading, people are working on a JS implementation of IPFS to precisely address this issue and use browser-side JS to access IPFS
#
cmal anyway I'm off for the night, good night everyone
#
Loqi don't let the bed bugs bite
#
sknebel good night!
