when it started I put the filter back on

two items are currently being replaced

words nobody will miss

>>13857

thanks teach

>>13888

ah, there you are, Sir Slayer of Muffins and Cauliflower Culler.

>mischief

'Mischief' in the original sense of the word, as in 'playful misbehavior or troublemaking', kek.

I knew you put it right coz i checked the doh before leaving.

Missed your comments, tho.

Tricky little button, similar to overwrite in word.

>>13895

Well, that was from Teach, i just provided the link Great that we all work together tho. I didn't know how to get rid of the auto-complete until tonite. Always something to learn.

>>13898

Would be great to manipulate the autocomplete like in word, where only desired (long or curent) words could be abreviated, such as hqc spelt out with capitalization…

I love auto complete in word, for large heavily referenced reports.

Soz about spelling, no spell check on purpose.

>>13885

If either of you want to take it for a spin anytime I’m baking, just let me know. I would stay around to have your backs and to hand off to whenever you wanted.. mid or beginning bread, any time. I’d collect for you as well if you just wanted to bake.

>>13907

appreciate that teach.

will continue in the notes role, kindof have to.

In same boat as rusty

having a laugh at current situation now.

>>13638

Yes, and i barely know how to use 8kun. What is this baking all about?

>>13920

When you open the qresearch catalog, you see all the threads ( = 'breads').

The Q Research General thread is one Q posts on and the one that requires a lot of maintainance because it goes fast and has a lot of posts.

There are 751 posts per bread.

At the end of the bread, someone needs to create a new and transfer all the resource material at the top of each bread (the "dough") from the old to the new. That's the baker.

Bakers also collect notable posts (ones anons will want to read) and put them on page 2 of the dough where they are easily found.

Last, bakers look out for the board and the breads (espec the dough).

So that's the job in a nutshell.

>>13933

Oh, wow. I was assuming something completely different. Thanks for explaining. I've been following the drops for a while but I'm just now starting to lurk.

>>13952

No problem. Drop in on Thurs 7pm et if you want to lurq during baking class,

Any banker on here with technical knowledge?

I talked with a baker 1 or 2 months ago about archiving threads. Im not resignationanon, but another anon.

I finally got a working PC with the development system that I needed for this job. I got it running, and now Im implementing a JSON parser, so that I can figure out threads etc.

Anyone on here know what charset the JSON that is returned by 8kun is? According to RFC it should be UTF-8, but I want to be sure.

Also is there official documentation somewhere about the JSON fields? Most can be figured out intentionally, but I would prefer official docs and I cant find any.

>>14025

My idea back then was:

go through threads, archive all images that the baker touched in some way or another. Baker replying to a post -> this post would get marked as important and images would be downloaded/archived.

My dream would be to archive them on archive.org, including the full sized images.

I think this worked out back then when I tried to make that work, but Im not sure if I can make archive.org archive things automatically.

If I have to download all images myself, I would have to upload them somewhere, and my bandwidth is limited. anonfile would be possible in theory, but they delete files after 6 months when no one touches them, so thats not a good idea.

>>14026

This would require that baker IDs stay the same. Im pretty sure that would work out in the General, but other threads take days, and if Baker ID would change during that time this plan would not work out.

Anyone know what resignationanon does to identify general threads? I would like to be compatible to that.

>>14025

Don't have much tech knowledge but have been archiving the baker classes is an ordinary way (doesn't allow playing of vids, unfortunately). Which we would still like.

>>14027

By Baker ID, what do you mean?

IPhash? named pastebins?

trying to pin down the iud of whichever anon is baking could be a challenge, bc of the many different ways in which it's indicated.

>>14034

>By Baker ID, what do you mean?

The "ID" that is shown for posts, see here.

Yours is 42a5a9.

I would get the ID of the first few posts of a thread, and that would be the ID that I expect the baker to be.

On 8kun the ID changes afaik when the IP changes, and sometimes when the cookies are deleted, but I tried just deleting the cookies and it still used the same ID for me. I even posted using Firefox after posting using a different browser and the ID was also the same.

>>14055

btw. I would have to check, but I guess Tripcodes should also be transmitted somewhere, so additionally maybe it's possible to also go according to tripcode (does only have to be unique for each thread), this would then even defeat potential issues like IP changes.

>>14056

So you are talking about the UID for the thread.

You would also need to track baker changes, if any. Ideally, such changes are tagged to the dough. But this frequently doesn't happen. Yesterday I "dough tagged" a baker picking up a ghost so another baker wouldn't try to bake.

Re tripcodes:

Tripcodes can be displayed on /comms/ but not on /qresearch/ (unless you're Q).

BTW, do you know if there is a way to archive threads so that the mp4's are still playable?

>>14084

Right, baker changes are a problem then.

They would have to get formatted in a certain way, so I can detect them.

Tripcodes are blacklisted except for Q on Qresearch? That sucks.

>BTW, do you know if there is a way to archive threads so that the mp4's are still playable?

No.

I doubt that's even possible like that.

Would have to look into it on archive.org.

I'm not even sure if archive.org will archive .mp4s.

Okay, I just tried and archived this manually.

http://web.archive.org/web/20200517203014/https://8kun.top/comms/res/13590.html

I archived the last pic too "muh fren" and it seems to work even on archive.org. I can click on it, and it changes to a larger pic.

For me it works, even for videos.

Check this out:

http://web.archive.org/web/20200517203014/https://8kun.top/comms/res/13590.html

It doesn't play embedded, but when you right click on the first URL above the pic/movie (which points to media.8kun.top), it even plays the video.

I also just found a simple API to trigger archiving of websites. I will have to look into it, I guess sending too many requests at once will make it reject the requests.

>>14084

So at least in theory this could all work somewhat, but the one problem remains - how to detect baker changes.

Even if it was possible, I wouldn't want to archive all photos/videos of every bread. Doing that would be silly and the risk of saving illegal content would also be high. I have no idea if that could even get me into legal trouble.

I would prefer being able to identify baker and archive all posts tagged by baker(s).

Will now just first of all write code to read the catalog and archive threads into my local database, including doing incremental updates of the threads.

Another question also remains: how to identify Qresearch generals.

I also wonder when I shall start archiving breads. The General never leaves the catalog unless it's full. But for other threads that may happen, and I think the pictures get lost as soon as it falls off the catalog. This means I should archive it way earlier than that.

>>14097

tx much, will check it out. it would be great for mp4 to play.

>detecting baker changes

Good luck with that. As you know, there is a protocols for handoffs but it does not always get used, especially for ghost bread pickups. Trying to compel bakers to use an exact format is very difficult. I just posted what i thought was a sensible suggestion to indicate dough changes last night and got blasted for it - "hall monitor", "bureacratic" etc. And worse (although those would be the shills, kek. Bakers will try to follow certain conventions for the sake of scrapers but even that was controversial at first. wearethene.ws was totally opposed by…hmmm….not sure. Anons? Shills? "You're directed people off-site!" Took months for them to gain acceptance, you prolly remember.

So it's not a trivial problem.

>>14104

BTW, i don't think i would support a 'set' protocol for handoffs that must be strictly followed. Bakers like to play with handoffs, using fun language variants, (like "'firmed" instead of "confirmed" for example. It's one of the few times in each bread they can be a little playful and creative.

>>14104

Hmmm, another idea would be to always identify baker by first post, but then also go reverse from the next bread, looking for post numbers mentioned on there by baker until dough, and identifying baker changes that way.

This wouldn't require a fixed protocol.

The only problem would be shill breads.

Do you have any experience how fast shill breads are removed? Probably never?

Does it even happen that often?

Dough post is fixed, right?

At least it should be a link to pastebin.

posted on meta, repost for class bread:

Short baker story:

Picked up a ghost bake mid-bread after note-taker signed out, did it w/no time to read pb notes or Q posts. So told anons that and requested help in checking notes. And they gave it, helped with dup notes, sauce.

Inherited one note-taker note that had sauce that was (maybe) iffy, may have been discussed b4 I came. Q posted so bred got speedier. Later in the bred, anon said sauce was iffy. Another provided a gov doc as sauce, but I had no time to read it.

What to do?

I did add but also gave the next baker permission to remove it if necessary. Never did that before but knew another baker was on deck, would be aware of the situation.

Giving permission won't help if a shill intentionally puts something bad into notables. But it does provide another option for end of bread decisions.

>>14106

Well, even shill breads have mostly ok notables with one or two ringers. Shills breads are not usually locked for hoursand sometimes even daysso that might be a problem. If I know there's a shill bread, i'll often check the catalog a few hours later to see if it's been locked. If not, I'll put in another request. Sometimes it takes a few. Eventually, the bred will be off the catalog but might take, hmmm, 24 hours? If never lockedwhich has happenedcan stay around for much longer. That's how Q came to post in a bread from one or two days earlier last month.

Dough post fixed in what way?

Will be at the start and have a pastebin. But sometimes pastebins are posted by anons other than the baker on duty, especially if baker is new, Q is posting or there are dup breads.

Lotsa variables, huh?

You might want to check with wearethene.ws, because they have had to deal with stuff like this and may have some tips. Try here:

https://8kun.top/comms/res/7366.html

>>13857

Hey TeachAnon

Just so you know, someone posted 5 quite graphic images both on this thread and on bakers meta last night. First time ever, acc to Rusty, who promptly chucked them out. But means that shills are well aware of our efforts and may 'honor' us with more attention in the future, kek.

>>14200

post 14219 on Meta, not sure of the number here. Gone now. Just posting for a record.

>>14114

>did it w/no time to read pb notes or Q posts

it's always dynamic and not at fault for jumping in when needed.

If it's a bad notable someone else will surely notice it and alert-been the case since the start.

Sometimes shit gets sneaked in and no time to effectively ascertain what is real or not.

enough eyes on it that it should get caught.

>>14227

The problem is always that these issues come up towards the end of bread, either because of late posts or fast breads. It takes time for anons to digest what's in the bread, espec if a notable is sketchy; they have to really check it out. By the time they post, it's 600 plus and baker thinks "oh crap."

Just never thought before of adding the "permission to change" provision. Can protect/support both the outgoing and incoming baker–also makes anons feel like they're input matters.

Whoa, check this out. Savefrom just terminated its services:

As you may have heard, our industry has been under strenuous attacks by certain US copyright holders. Because of these attacks, it has become financially impractical for Savefrom to continue to provide services in the United States.

Accordingly, Savefrom will be terminating its services in the United States as of April 28, 2020.

So I checked out the other two downloaders.

Just downloaded this one: https://www.downloadhelper.net/

for Chrome (there's are Firefox & Edge versions too)

Haven't use it but did not get any error messages.

Same for https://technologyto.com/extractor.html

No error messages.

Downloaded for Chrome but also works for Firebox and Opera.

>>14236

if it's after 600 and you have a latency problem (some have moar than others) I would just focus on completing the bake.

These things habben from time-to-time and better a notable that has to be removed later than a stalled board due to too much time on one or two submissions.

>>14248

thx for 2cents, fren.

>These things habben from time-to-time

They happen a lot to me, kek. It's because i often step in when baker must ghost. Often arrive mid-bread and play catch up for 20-25 minutes. Then end of bread arrives and it's "baker, baker, what about this?" (usually from before I arrived).

Policy of not changing another baker's pb notables is a good one. But giving permission to change one particular notacle has three advantages:

1 - allows for exceptions to the rule but only when baker says yes

2 - gives anons the power to object nb when there is more time for discussion (more participatory)

3 - weakens 'bakers union' narrative (by demonstrating baker's willingness to share decision-making power)

>>14265

bring it up in tomorrows class as well so that there is a discussion for all to have with it. I agree with what you have said point-wise.

You are making this a religious battle that helps a division within our great FREE country. What is your end goal or the goal of Q+?
