Watch people die Reddit archive backup?

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-04-07T15:35:00+00:00

It's not really feasible to add RES to this. I did start rewriting this so that it wasn't just pregenerated pages, had search functionality, etc. but I haven't finished it so far.
The comments and other meta do exist, yes. This page doesn't display them, but the rewrite I mentioned does, at least the comment count, not the actual comments yet. But I do have the data.
I pulled most of the data from pushshift.io, and some comes from my reddit bot I had running for a couple months.

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-04-05T00:32:27+00:00

I agree

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-03-31T13:34:26+00:00

Yup...

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-03-20T12:42:05+00:00

I should really get a VPN at some point. Why is Germany always so stupid when it comes to this, they blocked WPD on reddit too but that was easy to bypass...

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-03-20T12:38:45+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to verify this kind of stuff!

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-03-14T11:15:00+00:00

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-02-18T19:19:47+00:00

That's a thing I wanted to write, and it should be fairly straight forward too. I should really do that at some point. If it gets suspended, it was worth a try.

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-02-18T19:17:13+00:00

Same, and if it were up to me I wouldn't have that rule. /u/tejmar should know why it's a thing.

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-02-18T19:15:11+00:00

Yup, that was me. If you want all the files directly, I can probably put up a torrent or something. It's ~250 GB though, that's why I haven't uploaded it anywhere yet.

I was writing a webpage for browsing the archive, with search/other features, that's not done yet though since I haven't touched it in a while. There's a static page with all the links and stuff here though: https://2x.ax/wpdarchive

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-02-06T00:50:36+00:00

Still works for me. If not, you want https://dblsaiko.net/wpd (that's what the link in the OP now redirects to)

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-01-25T19:32:22+00:00

Here you go: https://www.bitchute.com/video/pwJeaw70Zn9K/

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-01-12T18:20:51+00:00

True, but for bitchute you can automate most of it. I use youtube-dl to download videos from sites, and ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i source-video.mp4 -vf "select=eq(n\,0)" -q:v 3 thumbnail.jpg) to get the thumbnail for the video (that command just extracts the first frame).

I could probably script that so that I can just give it an URL and it downloads the video and gives me a thumbnail with one command, but I don't upload that frequently that it's necessary

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-01-10T00:22:37+00:00

bitchute or spee.ch is where I upload stuff.

the_real_farfetchd · 2020-01-10T00:21:50+00:00

Right now, these get removed for deleting NSFL content:

catbox.moe, streamable.com

and there's another list of sites that get removed because of excessive porn ads:

theync.com, www.xrares.com, crazyshit.com, livegore.com, nowleaks.com, kaotic.com

(putting these in backticks so that it won't create links out of them)

This should probably be public so that people know which sites not to post before actually posting.. Also a post on how to pull videos from sites like these and upload somewhere else if necessary would be nice. Maybe I'll write something up about that at some point.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-12-30T20:14:51+00:00

Windows Terminal for a better terminal and WSL for a usable shell.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-12-25T21:45:28+00:00

A WPD + HL SFX crossover? Hell yeah

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-12-25T21:37:38+00:00

It does, I have it on my main PC but I don't have access to that right now. I'm pretty sure it's on the main sub aswell.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-12-17T19:21:18+00:00

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-12-17T19:20:51+00:00

Yeah, but if you shrink it to 25x25 (which is I assume the resolution of the current icons) it's going to be blurry aswell. Compare them here to the text next to the icons, for example. Would be great if they could just stay in svg format.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-12-14T13:48:15+00:00

That's too detailed/has too many colors for my taste. Actually, that got me an idea, for some reason I didn't check for emojis at all, but only svg icon sites. In that case, I'd go for this one and maybe this one. These are svg too so they'll scale nicely everywhere.

Not sure if we should actually change the icon so that it looks like it stands for something that it actually doesn't, that just feels misleading. I'd certainly not be opposed to something less "in your face," though.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-12-13T21:09:27+00:00

I mean we could technically change the icons. I've been wanting to for a while mostly because the default icons are low res and ugly, but I also can't design icons so that hasn't gone anywhere lol (and that's also the reason why the icons in Slide are still upvote and downvote)

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-11-30T08:33:59+00:00

Exactly this. The ban reason even says so:

This subreddit was banned due to a violation of Reddit’s content policy against creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-11-30T08:32:12+00:00

I agree, people should at least take the effort to download the video from those sites and post a direct link, imo. That way there'd also be an alt link in case the video gets deleted (wouldn't be the first time on LiveLeak). Nothing wrong with posting the source in the comments because sometimes there might be an article on the source page or something.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-10-23T19:20:05+00:00

Hmm, works for me. 404 errors on that page also have a different format than what you got so maybe the server was just temporarily borked

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-10-21T19:27:07+00:00

Looks like someone needs to learn how to hold a camera. Half of the video is upside down!

Yeah. Comments, posts, everything that has Markdown input preferably. Also, isn't "large mode" a RES thing? Afaik there's no preview at all in Reddit without extensions.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-10-15T11:27:57+00:00

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-10-11T08:37:03+00:00

They need to group people by sex instead of gender in sports, since obviously there's a difference in strength/whatever that's determined by people's sex, and not the gender you identify as. If you want to implement seperating sex and gender, do it properly and not only where it gives trans people a huge advantage over everyone else (well not only that, trans males will have a disadvantage in this case too, since they need to compete against "actual" males...)

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-10-11T08:21:36+00:00

Also, where's the downvote button so I can silence those who have the wrong opinion! /s

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-10-10T22:17:07+00:00

I got 14. Not too surprised, tbh.

I'd kind of be interested in what it would look like if you'd have a few people take a test like this every year from let's say 10 years old for 50 years and then plot the data on a graph.

I don't have the resources nor the patience to do that myself though, so I guess it'll stay in the idea stage.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-10-10T22:04:41+00:00

A number followed by . at the start of a line is the start of an ordered list in Markdown. That's why it automatically "fixes" the numbers to start from 1. You'd have to escape it: \50. would work, I think. Or if that doesn't, 50\. should.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-07-01T23:55:20+00:00

Probably got deleted. That was a problem on the original sub on reddit aswell, which is why I wrote the video archive bot. Might bring that back at some point for this sub. IIRC the catbox owner has said they don't like gore content or something like that.

(Just tested one of the catbox links in my history, https://files.catbox.moe/p69q7s.mp4, that still works, so it's not the whole site.)

You can use the Slide port I made, that has a card mode. ^{I should keep working on that at some point…}

a lot of them

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-06-08T23:43:22+00:00

Of course I had to try to find a way to still get into that thread... and I succeeded ;)

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-06-05T21:32:14+00:00

Disagree, people have been complaining to YT for years about this issue. If the issue is so bad that advertisers have to proactively boycott the platform, there's something seriously wrong at YT.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying though. They can't fix it because they don't know how to. Their algorithm is essentially a black box like most machine learning systems are (that's what they're using, right?). And they're not about to ditch it because it makes them money, and the backlash isn't big enough yet. Might be soon, with all those advertisers pulling out, who knows.

Disagree, lots of these videos of kids have millions of views and I believe ads running.

They do? Alright, fair enough, didn't know that.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-06-05T20:18:59+00:00

When a nation entering the state of war, most people would view another person is the extension of themselves in the same nation, view the successful killing as the winning of themselves. If someone says: "It's all about the military industrial complex, they are the true winners!"People would just attack this person.

I think that's the same thing with people becoming super possessive and even violent over sports teams. I never understood it for the longest time - how can you become so wound up over them winning or losing if you had nothing to do with it? I would understand if you bet money on that team or something. But like this? I think it's the same thing as you said above, associating themselves with some team to be able to feel good about the achievements of others? Something like that, at least.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-06-05T19:59:25+00:00

Well, everybody knows that there's no women on the internet. ;)

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-06-05T19:55:25+00:00

Is this supposed to be said evidence? I'm not buying it. This is only YouTube, not all of "the media", and even then, they don't know what the hell their algorithm is doing (this is not the first time of that being the case), or they would have already fixed it. They're not doing it on purpose. What do they have to gain from pushing pedophilia to normal people? Nothing, it will just cause backlash against them (like here!). And the people who want to watch this stuff of course won't complain, but there's so few of them that it doesn't get YT any significant ad revenue or anything. You can't turn someone into a pedophile (especially not by recommending them content on YouTube), if that's what you were going for, just like you can't cure pedophilia. You're either born with it, or not.

I was about to send you a screenshot of my Steam library, on Linux, but then I remembered I purged the shit out of that at some point since it was over 700 GB in size...

Yeah, you can definitely play a lot of PC games on Linux now, especially with SteamPlay/Proton (or Wine and DXVK). Even games like GTA V or Overwatch.

Of course, that doesn't mean all games run on Linux, but most of those that I want to play do. Sometimes you have to fiddle around with it to get it to work, though.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-05-24T23:11:19+00:00

Most old games you can definitely play in 4K (often even better than modern games since they're not as graphically intensive; for example I play Thief 2 at 4k but have to turn the settings down to like 2k, sometimes even 1080p, for for example Black Mesa). Problem is the models and textures, if that bothers you.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-05-19T16:24:35+00:00

I started this (well, not the huge archive, but videoarchivebot, whose files I turned into the smaller archive after WPD got banned) right after the Morocco beheading video was deleted by the reddit admins, to make sure that stuff could still be accessed after the original links went down, or a post was removed again in the future. So in a way, I kinda was? Didn't expect WPD to get banned though.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-05-15T17:21:52+00:00

Yup, that looks better. Thanks!

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-05-05T06:53:42+00:00

Nope, I just copy the URL and then send it to whoever. But, I'd either remove it entirely or keep it, since it's not like the list of links under comments/posts is overflowing (even less so if you're not a moderator), and adding a "…" menu just adds to the amount of clicks that you have to do if you do want to use the option.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-05-03T10:58:39+00:00

Yeah, I will post a link. Haven't gotten around to it yet, though.

the_real_farfetchd · 2019-05-02T20:59:47+00:00

This is something I wouldn't fix on the server side, since as you said it would potentially break other stuff way worse for everyone, for something which essentially only happens for OP (or does it?). That seems like overkill. Probably better to figure out what the problem is on his side, like starting with disabling the adblocker (although I kinda doubt that's it, since why would it be configured to block the unsub button on this site by default. Doesn't hurt to try though), or trying a different browser to make sure it's not some addon that's breaking the site
