don't be weird please average croaker fanboy
there’s a lot of you now so imma do stuff. I’ve seen a post like introducing the blog on a lot of other blogs. Im not a big blog by any means, but I have been waiting for an excuse to do it.
hi, im door. im new around here (kinda), and only really started using this blog (and this site) instead of Reddit during the 196 exodus. spronkus will kronkus on forever in our hearts.
If you’re a terf or anything like it, do stuff on another blog and get tf out of here. same for people who are racist, homophobic, antisemetic, Islamophobic, etc, get outta here. same with people who wanna preach a religion or stuff like that. if you accept people for who they wanna be, you’re chill.
i don’t really have a theme for this blog, I kinda just post whatever I feel like posting, im currently writing a lot of stuff and badly wanna post art of my ocs and stuff, but im really a shitty artist lol
im bad at keeping up with stuff and forget to block people a lot of the time
feel free to ask me stuff that’s not personal
have a good day peeps, seeya
edit: just turned 18 so no longer a minor. still please don't send me like horny stuff
edit again: 19 now, almost halfway to twenty! I use this for stupid shit and art projects, nothing else. still fuck off if you’re a shitter. free Palestine, fuck colonialism, queer rights of all kinds (from gay to trans to other) are human rights, and I think Elon would go great with chimmichuri and a nice pinot noir
Long time no see! In the last post I discussed a potential collaboration with SciOp as well as my collaboration with ArchiveTeam and my frustration with MeiliSearch, since then a lot happened so let me give you all an update as well as a small surprise!
What did you miss?
Another Collaboration?
In case you haven't kept up with the news on other platforms, I'm now in talks with the Open Doors Committee of the Organization for Transformative Works (the people behind Archive of Our Own) for a possible collaboration!! We had our first meeting in which we discussed the different possibilities for us working together and what it would take, so let's hope for the best! This would be a great opportunity and a massive help to me too.
New Database!
Originally, I was just using MongoDB because it was the easiest to just set up a scraper and start ingesting data, however, for an actual website deployment MongoDB would be very unsuited. It's slow, it's clunky and aggregations are really slow.
So I decided to switch to a new Database: ClickHouse! ClickHouse allows me to do extremely complex aggregations with full table scans in milliseconds, something that would take the old MongoDB deployed multiple dozens of seconds if not over a minute! This will also make the database easier to share when it's published to SciOp
New Infrastructure!
To be completely honest, I planned to just deploy everything locally in Europe and hope for the best with CDN response times in the US. Now, I've realized that this would be pretty suboptimal so I've decided to geo replicate the CDN and DB to the US as well as Europe, that way the site, when it finally releases, will hopefully be fast on both sides of the oceans!
Additionally, since I'm in the process of getting my hands on a full Terabyte of previously unarchived media I decided to invest some more into new storage infrastructure allowing me to host and cache the most accessed files directly instead of relying on the sometimes slow response times of the Internet Archive.
New Costs :c
Sadly, all of that infra didn't just come for free (even though one person actually provisioned a VM in Canada for me, allowing me to improve geo replication). I'll have to see the exact infra bill next month since I've done some restructuring and got massive discounts on my current infra thanks to my server host. The last infrastructure bill was 50€/mo. which is... quite a lot for a project that hasn't even released yet haha! In case you want to support my endeavor of keeping this free for everyone, you can donate to my buy me a coffee page
I like Pokémon and making things that other people enjoy
New Content!
This is probably one of the better news I have to give. I extracted a list of archived pages from the Internet Archive, that means, that my archive will be a joint archive of everything still available from Amino in any way!! About 2-3 Million new posts will be added to the archive in the next few days!!
Sneak Peek...
Bonus Content!
After the DB migration, I wanted to try out the new aggregation capabilities by doing some rudimentary analysis, all of the queries took <0.1s to compute!!
Because I didn't just want to do these calculations without sharing them, here are the Amino records brought to you by the Amino Archive!
🥇Amino Awards🥇
🥇 World's Biggest Yapper🥇
With over 13 million posts globally on Amino, the biggest yapper award goes to: BTS εµρɦσɾเαᵇᵘᵗᵗᵉʳ | JK
(important note: not all of these posts were archived due to limitations on Amino's end)
🥇 World's Most Entitled 🥇
Everyone knows that the amount of titles you can receive on your profile in a given community is limited, one person broke those limits and achieved a whopping 66 million titles on a single community!
🥇 World's Most Reputable 🥇
As a member I honestly thought level 20 was unreachable it just always seemed like way too high of a bar, but one person was so dedicated to not just get the 500K rep required for Level 20 but get nearly 200K additional rep!
🥇 World's Most Followed🥇
Anime Amino is at it again for world record contending profiles with the most followed profile on Amino with nearly 1 million followers!!! Now imagine all of those people genuinely following you on the street.
🥇 World's Most Likeable🥇
This person has proven time and time again that their content is likeable and deserves your attention (I've never once seen a post by them before archiving the platform lmao)
Thanks for your support! Please share this with people who you think might enjoy the Amino Archive to get the word out! Hope to release soon!
am I crazy for turning to religion as a queer person? I never believed that god hated us and still don’t, and as things get worse the faith I used to hold very dear is arising from within me. Most of Christian dogma is dumb, but Catholicism is beautiful in a lot of ways, not the homophobia or cultural brainwashing and stuff, but the mindset and clarity cradle Catholics like myself hold
