oh god what the hell happened to that envelope π
i'll give you some extra stickers this year around if you end up getting anything π
sc07.shop is currently down, but it will be back :)
Get Canvas 2024 & 2023 prints, and stickers to support various instances!
the event has concluded! thank you all for participating!
this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)
β Crossposters: link back to this post as it will be updated with more information β
Event date: July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC til ~~July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours)~~ July 16th @ 4am UTC (72 hours + 24 hours) (it was extended due to a massive performance issue that caused major downtime)
I'm planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned π
If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)
I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events
posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to [email protected] π
the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:
β¨ I wanted to have the shop setup before the event ending, but i couldn't get it setup quick enough unfortunately
EDIT: Shop is now live!
Donating via Stripe is the best way to donate directly
canvas is open-source and is on a self-hosted gitlab instance at https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas
at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits
i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that's also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)
Database dump: (48mb) https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt
Contains pixel placements, canvas moderation actions, and palette colors no IP addresses
This will stay up as long as i can keep it running for, i'll make some improvements eventually as well
if anyone is wanting to build something for canvas, i'd be willing to host the project & give it a subdomain of .fediverse.events
just send me a matrix dm, a dm on discord (grahhnt) or an email [email protected]
thank you to the moderators that helped me this year, even with how stressful it was π¨
and the contributors to the code once the event started: π»
and thank you, once again, for participating this year, i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did π
i'm going to now go enjoy my 21st π₯³π
this would be very cool
once the event concludes i'll be releasing a log file with all the pixel placements for other visualizations
if whoever wants to tackle this would like, i might be able to get it as a subdomain of .fediverse.events
Keep the current size (1000x500)
the canvas is currently 60% filled
that was a major hiccup this time around i wasn't expecting the event to be this large and this wanted, but i do have plans to market it a bit better this year
if you use Mastodon or Matrix check out this post
The instances page at join-lemmy is completely automated
This definitely needs to get pushed to the two main devs for lemmy as they control that website
It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!
Make sure you're in the Lemmy community ([email protected]) and the Matrix space so you don't miss it!
the pxls backend was spammed by reports done by the software itself (such as "account logged in with ip shared with 2,000 other users" due to a bug related to reverse proxy settings)
a lot of them we just couldn't get to because the aforementioned bug created 60+ pages of reports with no bulk delete or filter options
next year's system will be a lot better setup to avoid these types of issues happening tho!
as far as I'm aware, this is the first r/place-like event for Lemmy
exapsy might be talking about Reddit's r/place from last year tho
Upvote this comment to vote for this option
I apologize, there has been some miscommunication to the moderators and lack of judgment on my part
I did not expect canvas to get this big this fast, I will talk to the moderators and make sure everyone is on the same page to prevent things like this from happening
Since the video doesnβt auto-play and it doesnβt fall under, what I would consider NSFL, I will be reverting your ban, I apologize for the misunderstanding
message me on matrix if you have anymore questions!
I personally really enjoy Matrix but itβs not really a βfediverseβ thing but it is a federated end to end encrypted messaging platform
maybe the salt lake itself? π€·ββοΈ
