Irc2PGuest42165 imdb? cmon snex you can do better than that, what do pplreally want to know everyday? the weather, i'm surprised we dont have weather websites.

Irc2PGuest42165 *mirrors

Irc2PGuest42165 when i'm able that would be what ill be throwing my support into

RN some irc have weahter bots that remembers users and serve up their weather. but they're not privacy conscious about it.

RN i mean you can use Tor or use I2P outproxy to look up weather, but don't you have something for day to day non-secret stuf?

RN LOL

RN we don't need to move everything into i2p, Mr Throstle

RN do we?

RN though, I don't mind imdb haveing a small set of data about info I look up... lots of tracking blocking and stuff on my r"regular internet" but is there really a use case for imdb inside anonymized network? do imdb and similar sites really collect that much? (assuming some basic measures to minimize tracking)

Irc2PGuest42165 i have found good weather reporting to be quite difficult to lookup with privacy systems, yes. seem 3 people know hpw to use internet anonymizers to do it, lol

Irc2PGuest42165 reporting/forecasting

RN well, 3 are willing to tell a throstle they know how to do it. ;)

Irc2PGuest42165 maybe they do maybe they dont ;p

RN yeah, maybe they are liars and there is no solution to a problem we didn't notice did not exist

RN weather

RN pashaw, I look out the window

RN even go touch grass for a few minutes

snex “How can I look up the weather in my area without telling anyone my area?”

RN yo have to tell whoever is looking it up for you (aka automated response system of some kind)

cumlord there’s some libermdb instances in i2p that just proxy, in my indexer project it gives links to tmdb clearnet and i2p libremdb

cumlord Why not mirror an IMDb ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

RN not objecting to it. it is an interesting technical exorciese with the db.

snex Proxying exposes info

RN having info exposes info

snex Weather would be ez just download the full info constantly

cumlord Although tbf from what snex been saying it would take a lot more than I though lol

RN yeah, a fun project for idle hand

RN s

Anomaly hello everyone

RN good idea there... how much data is it to ask for weather in every subregion of the golbe simultaneously....

RN Anamoloha Anomaly

Anomaly have i joined at a bad time ?

Anomaly how r u RN?

cumlord I thought the weather apps pull from the same govt sources but no idea what that data set looks like

RN no time like the present

cumlord Hola

RN I'm ok

Anomaly thats good

RN we were just pondering weather info anymous acces and imdb database browser in I2P idea

Anomaly wdym ?

RN when it comes to leaking info, I proposed: Having info exposes info.

snex I’m not even sure anybody will give you full weather datasets

Anomaly *** scratches head ***

Anomaly ok

not_bob Weather data is public data.

RN just catch up Anomaly, conversations in progress

Anomaly yea

cumlord not_bob exactly

not_bob weather.com and friends get rich off of government funded work.

not_bob Not to say what they do is useless. The raw data is not exaclty the most user friendly. But, those apps. Privacy sucking holes.

snex Public doesn’t mean they’ll give it to you

snex They’ll give you small bits at a time

snex I wonder if you could just get a direct satellite feed

not_bob You can.

not_bob You can use a radio and just pull the sat data direclty from the sky.

not_bob I've done it.

snex Sounds like you should be the host for this hypothetical eepsite

not_bob lol

not_bob weather.i2p (we just need your address).

not_bob Ahh, there was once a weather.i2p

snex I’m a city boy I don’t have that kinda stuff

not_bob What do you mean?

cumlord weather.gov/tg/general Might have some info

snex I don’t have a satellite dish or a place to put one

not_bob That would be easy enough to scrape and cache.

not_bob snex: You don't need one. You can do it with a handheld radio.

not_bob Though, you will need a radio that lets you shift the rec frequency as the doppler shifts.

not_bob Depending on orbit.

cumlord That’s cool shit, never messed much with radios

not_bob It looks like NOAA provides data pretty easily. One would need to make a database of the lat/lon of every zip code in the USA and then do a lookup from that and send the data to NOAA for further parsing/caching.

not_bob Doable, but a privacy hole.

cumlord Only way around that then is to pull all of them so often maybe but that’s like 3000 counties

not_bob_afk I'm pretty sure NOAA only collects data for the states.

RN wouldn't just loading any ol weather site through Tor or an outproxy give enough anonymity?

RN I just don't get the use case

cumlord Probably yeah

dr|z3d one of plaz's, orignal? sha512sum.i2p

dr|z3d *** chuckles ***

dr|z3d that's up there with "do not the lemon."

dr|z3d "helicopter, helicopter"

snex The use case is to have a self sustaining system without need for “them”

dr|z3d if you're referring to imdb, there's already an imdb lookup service on the network, no?

dr|z3d as for replicating imdb on the network, good luck with that. you're going to need terabytes of storage.

not_bob_afk A suitcase full of money?

dr|z3d yeah, not_bob_afk

dr|z3d throw it out of the helicopter, helicopter!

dr|z3d RN: this is what I'm talking about: 2.5.2-1 (revision 695a30240ea06bcb99ffd9088d2328100fddc5f2)

dr|z3d either keep your javadocs build synced with the non-javadocs build, provide a javadocs build only, or remove it.

dr|z3d (or ignore me :))

snex IMDb is nowhere close to terabytes

dr|z3d yes it is.

snex That’s only with media files. The data is tiny

dr|z3d right, media files.

snex Yeah I’m not doing that

snex Who cares about a poster

dr|z3d posters, trailers..

cumlord i feel like this video is a psyop

dr|z3d all the associated screenshots, thumbnails. terabytes, I tell you!

snex We only need text

cumlord there's 2 libermdb's up now i think only the cat one works though

snex But those are just passthrus or actual local data?

cumlord just passthroughs

snex Yeah that’s lame

snex Soon as they catch on you get banned

cumlord any idea how many titles the db has in it?

snex Iirc it was 11 million

dr|z3d 3,375,496

dr|z3d (that's shorthand for "no idea")

snex 11 million which includes movies tv series and tv episodes. 60 million alternative names

cumlord dr|z3d lmao

snex I mean tbh I think a better site would be subversive web comics

snex Maybe we can do like a hosting option where creators can sign up and upload

dr|z3d can't you just present imdb as an i2p proxy/mirror?

snex Yes but they’ll IP ban you

dr|z3d what about via Tor?

snex They ban like 10-20% of tor already but I’m not sure what the pattern is

dr|z3d sounds like a challenge more than a brick wall.

cumlord was trying to see what possible size would be if resized a poster for each title to something reasonable, that's just a lot of titles

cumlord that'd be kinda cool though snex

snex Postman limits attachments to 100k. Multiply by 11 million

cumlord like it's a manageable size at 100k

dr|z3d you'd get less than that.

dr|z3d downscale, webp.

snex Yeah 100k x 11m is worst case scenario

dr|z3d you could aim for around 30-40K per image.

cumlord i did recently do a bulk pull of 2000 from tmdb through tor, worked

cumlord it'd still look decent at 30-40 probably

snex I’m not sure what % of the 11m are tv episodes but you don’t need a separate image for those

dr|z3d sure, if you downscale to something like 800x600, or maybe even 640x480.

dr|z3d hell, if you just want a visual indicator, a max 320 width thumb would probably be fine.

snex And do you even need posters for obscure or garbage shit? Like anything below a 4.0 rating why bother

snex Even IMDb doesn’t always have one

cumlord pbwcz5jmvsb5oipcydmuhzajza2mqfmg6xjx4ib7ubth4qwsehva.b32.i2p/file/1/W20RQllZrNkV6uYP.jpeg

cumlord glorious 25k

dr|z3d try that with 70 compression quality, 0 alpha, webp.

dr|z3d probably get it down to ~20K or less.

snex The real issue is who actually wants to run this like you’re gonna need a 32G ram beefy boi at least

cumlord oh shit, it's harcoded i'll have to change that

snex I didn’t get a chance to test solr but elasticsearch is a hog

dr|z3d I don't think anyone's in a hurry to volunteer, snex :)

snex Yeah well I don’t have that hardware

snex And it might even need more who knows

cumlord yeah that's a lot, i'd need a separate box just for that probably

snex Really only the full text search needs to be alone

snex The web app can go anywhere

snex And relational dev

snex Db

cumlord how about a local caching thing

snex caching what

snex the hard part is just the search bar

cumlord yeah you're right that don't make sense

dr|z3d you'd process the images and then cache, so they only need to be requested once.

snex i mean like i can give you a site that runs on a rasp-pi but your search bar will be all but useless

dr|z3d libremdb.catsarch.i2p

dr|z3d what's wrong with that?

snex its a passthrough

dr|z3d it's a proxy. and all requests are via the .i2p host.

snex it compromises the privacy of the host and the host is at the mercy of imdb banning them

cumlord it works, there's 3 other ones but 1 is broken and the other 2 been down

dr|z3d yeah, it works, exactly.

dr|z3d if you want to not-compromise the host, push it through Tor.

snex so then they ban tor

dr|z3d now you're just speculating.

dr|z3d push over Tor, cache content as it's requested, you'll stay under the radar.

dr|z3d if you're serving thousands of requests per hour, they might notice.

cumlord probably the simplest way to go

dr|z3d but over i2p, you're probably not worth their attention.

snex anyway focus on webcomics

cumlord do it

cumlord we don't have that do we

dr|z3d yeah, we got that.

dr|z3d i2ptimes.i2p

cumlord Timeless 🤣

dr|z3d don't be surprised when it's translated into 25 languages and becomes an international best seller. only a matter of time :)

dr|z3d wetpussy: when you don't have a totally offensive nick, maybe voice.

snex we need webcomics that say what you cant say on the clearnet. and are funny

dr|z3d welcome to #saltR, wetkitten

dr|z3d wetkitten: to send a message to you here, I reference your nickname, which probably tells your client to sent an alert.

cumlord hello wet one

wetkitten dr|z3d: Thank you

wetkitten the first was all red like in the other channel but nevermind

cumlord need to find people that can make darknet webcomics

dr|z3d Blinded message

dr|z3d *** whispers. ***

wetkitten Hello cumlord

wetkitten are you from cock.li?

cumlord lol no must be a different cumlord

cumlord i was named after the australian pomeranian (rip)

snex cumlord: AI can do the artwork. just do the dialog. hell maybe AI can do the dialog too. just give it good prompts

dr|z3d there are ai generators that will generate comic strips for you.

snex yeah but will they be anti-government
