Finally got the chance to talk to my cousin who was diagnosed with cancer. I try not to ask him anything related to cancer but it seems like every topic I ask is affected by cancer. He was so close to finishing his degree but that has to wait, he can't do anything due to cancer fatigue.

It feels like his world has stopped. We were very close when we're younger as we are the same age, everything was a competition even to a lesser degree when we're older.

It's not fair.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Hope he beat that damn shit out from his body

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Sorry about your cousin. That's really rough.

🎉Finally released the post auto-scheduling feature for Monyet.cc! I can already smell lots of required enhancements and other features that will require implementation... probably time to create a dedicated backlog for MonyetBot lol

unfortunately, something has gone wrong:

https://lemmy.zip/c/[email protected]

https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]

https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]

all of them have the 28th july daily thread, but not today(29th july)'s, also looking at the sidebar on those instances, monyetbot is not listed as mod.

you mentioned testing monyetbot on a dev instance. is the dev instance by any chance running the same database as this one (as in, all communities/posts/users from here are viewable there too, up to the time the db snapshot was taken, that is) and does not have federation disabled (2 instances with the same name both sending federation traffic could possibly badly confuse other instances)?

the easy fix, without having to do too much debugging would be to try registering a new bot user, and see if it can be added as mod and accepted by the other instances, or you could try unmodding and then remodding monyetbot first.

(unmodding and remodding would help if it was the modding that did not federate, another issue could be the membership of monyetbot in the community not federating, so perhaps try making monyetbot unsubscribe and resubscribe)

edit: if this is not given attention, i think all future daily threads by monyetbot will not be available on other instances (oh god, i so hope i am wrong)

edit 2: the instances are a mix of 0.18.2 and 0.18.3, so i don't think the new version is the issue here

edit 3: i think the main questions to ask are:

is the dev instance you tested the bot on running a snapshot of the monyet.cc db?
does the dev instance have federation turned on?
did you mod the bot on the dev instance in a community called cafe before doing it here on the main instance?

if the answer is yes for all 3, then the modding event may have been sent out to other instances from the dev instance first, and so now the modding event from the main instance is no longer accepted by them, and with that all posts from the bot no longer federate (and neither do replies to those posts 😢 😭)

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

If you check the bot via other instance, the user simply didn't exists. It likely due to this is the bot first post so it take some time to register the user to other federated instance...me think

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

can you search for the bot username @[email protected] in the search box of those other instances?

if it does not appear, then we'll very likely need to change bot usernames due to it not being accepted by other instances

edit: just checked https://lemmy.zip/u/[email protected] is okay, so it is not that other instances are auto-rejecting bot users

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I put the name directly into my search bar, didn't exists

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

maybe instances are rejecting bots that have admin status?

but that would not really make sense

No, the dev instance has its own database. Its whole ecosystem is separate from this one. It does not run the same snapshot. Last I remember, I think it did not federate, but I might be mistaken here... For the last question, the answer is yes because I had to emulate the scenario as closely as possible.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

if it ran on a subdomain of monyet.cc, then it shouldn't be a problem

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

oh great, lemmy turned all those links to other instances into links to our instance, so if you click on them you don't see the issue

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I can see the issue if i open in incognito mode, but MonyetBot has been moderator of cafe for a while on monyet.cc actually. I'm not sure if both instances can affect each other though, as dev is monyet.lol, not monyet.cc

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

just curious, are you using lemmy-js-client?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

yeah, I'm using that one.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Woah, photo of the week, maybe we can do this @[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

@[email protected] let me know how many weekly threads you want to set up by the way

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Just one for [email protected]. I think I will cook a bot myself though, because I would need the bot to:

use templates
fill the templates with texts/images/links off of a spreadsheet
generate images, also off of templates (scripting done for this one)

Plus I want to write it in Python 3. There's a really good lemmy module by db0.

I'm not in a rush so I'm fine with continuing to post manually for next week or 2 as I slow cook this.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

if you are referring to https://github.com/db0/pythorhead then you must take care, both this and lemmy-js-client (and the whole lemmy stack itself) is under affero which is a viral license that has been touted as a preventive measure against big tech.

ianal, but i think any network interaction with code derived from those 2 libraries must be placed under the same affero license.

wefwef/voyager was hit by this exact licensing issue.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Section 6 & 13 of the license is a bit of a headache though. Do I need to upload the whole bot script to, say, github, before I even start posting using the script?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

i don't think so. i think what's important is that it stays under the same license, which means sooner or later you'll have to disclose source, but i don't think anyone is going to be so picky as to say you have to do it at the very beginning.

in other words, as long as you are not intentionally withholding source, it should be alright, but again, ianal. anyway, yours is just a hobby project so no need to be so strict about it.

i am just bringing to your attention the nature of the license involved, so maybe if you're not that comfortable with it, you could look around for a more permissively licensed python lemmy library (if there's even such a thing, considering the whole lemmy stack is already under the same license).

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Good luck with the cooking! There was a lemmy python API but I'm not experienced with python so I went for lemmy js client instead. I do plan to implement those features eventually too, but my technical knowledge isn't great so I would need a lot of time to figure things out.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

sure, just start posting to [email protected] 😂

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Walao August is near soon

A used camera I recently purchased increased its market value by almost 50% in 6 months…

not sure if I should sell it now or keep it.

Went for a massage, the Vietnamese masseur asked me to relax then jump on my back…. Then used her elbow to press into my muscles with her weight, I was screaming and she asked : is it painful?

Despite all that it’s a strangely comfortable massage if not a bit painful, focusing on acupuncture points. Some reason when you press really hard into these points your body releases lots of endorphin? Or sth like that? It feels very sore and syiok.

The eye and hair massage was really good, didn’t know you could massage the brow ridge area. She even massage my tits lol it was so itchy I wanted to laugh
