[snarfed] looked more at universal Reddit backfeed. submissions alone total 453G to download 😐 https://files.pushshift.io/reddit/submissions/
#
jacky sheeeeesh
#
[snarfed] wish there were dumps of only link-based submissions
jacky joined the channel
#
[snarfed] still doable
#
[tantek] snarfed, are you throttling your crawler / API caller so you don't get blocked?
#
[snarfed] It's using their Firebase-based API, https://github.com/HackerNews/API , so no, I'm not

Loqi [HackerNews] API: Documentation and Samples for the Official HN API
#
[snarfed] And I'm running it inside GCP so they're more likely to trust the client IPs 😎
#
[snarfed] (not much though)
#
[snarfed] what other big link sharing silos should I/we consider? Digg, Delicious, Pinboard...? I don't live in these places much, you all will know better than me
#
[snarfed] also, some stats for doing reddit ongoing, ie streaming the firehose: average ~12qps submissions, 76qps comments (estimated from https://www.redditinc.com/blog/reddits-2020-year-in-review ). doable!
#
thehedgeh0gtheyt you could pull from lobste.rs, which is pretty likely to have a lot of links to webmentioned blogs.

#
[aciccarello] I think lobste.rs already sends webmentions natively https://indieweb.org/Webmention#Lobsters
#
thehedgeh0gtheyt wow, I didn't even realize that! That's really cool.

GWG [snarfed]: Pinboard is easy enough and I have gotten asked for it

#
[snarfed] GWG: asked for...POSSE support?
#
[snarfed] and I assume you mean easy enough to POSSE? topic here is universal backfeed via historical data dumps and/or firehose
jonnybarnes joined the channel
#
GWG [snarfed]: I wrote posse into syndication links in 90 minutes. The Api should allow for backfeed.

#
capjamesg doosboox next on the list is to restore the static site webring.

#
capjamesg I think this is maybe a ProtonMail thing but I got this SMTP error earlier: "Error: transaction failed, blame it on the weather:"
