For example, there’s an achievement for using all the colors in the palette and only using one color of the palette. Cannot do both obviously, so you can only get one of those two achievements.

The available achievements can be checked from the source on GitHub.

As a bit of a statistics nerd, this is my favorite thing after the event itself. Thanks for once again compiling the data into an easy to browse format.

Looking at the pixel counts and the pixels placed per hour charts for the top 10 users, it seems most of them had very little sleep over the 48 hours… Gotta admire the dedication.

Achievements are a cool addition, although it hurts my completionist soul that they’re set up in a way where you can never get all of them… As for suggestions, maybe add a page listing all the possible achievements? And taking it one step further, how about global stats showing what percentage of users have each achievement?

It doesn’t matter whether you place 1 pixel every 30 seconds or 6 every 3 minutes. One thing to keep in mind tho is that the 30 second timer seems to reset every time you place a pixel. For example, if you’re at 0 pixels, gain 1, wait 15 seconds, and then place it, you’ll still have to wait another 30 seconds for the next pixel. Meaning you basically lost 15 seconds. So I think the most efficient strategy is to place all 6 pixels as soon as you gain the 6th one.

Probably the fact how I just freaking teleported and somehow I’m still alive

I can highly recommend this one for anyone who’s into the genre

Glad to hear it seems to be more optimized than 99% of modern webapps. Way too many devs nowadays treat bandwidth like it’s unlimited.

Let’s hope everything works smoothly when the event starts ^^

Thanks for the info, I was infact wondering how it works technically. If the cursor position is always snapped to the grid, won’t it make your cursor movement look noticeably choppy to others? Or maybe I’m just imagining it wrong…

That’s amazing! Cannot wait to see it in action. Is it on by default or is it an opt-in?

And I remember cursors.io, it was super fun (before it became overrun by cheaters). I wish someone recreates something with similar concept someday.

I think the whole thing is a bit clickbaity. The only reason it works is that they specifically configured the AI workflow to have access to both the public and the private repositories. The solution? Don’t do that. The only thing GitHub could fix here is disallowing such an obviously unsafe configuration.

Yep, it worked now. Thanks!

I seem to have a problem logging in. The private message with the code from auth@authfediverse.events never arrives. Last year it worked fine using this same account 🤔

Don’t worry about it at all. Nothing against the popufurs but I don’t think they are what make the fandom so freaking good.

I’m from Finland and usually the subtitles for English content are good.

One challenging example that comes to mind is Baby Shower. Since this concept is mainly from the US, there isn’t an equivalent term in many languages. People here usually just use its English term, but I’ve seen subtitlers sometimes translate it as vauvasuihku, which literally means “baby shower”, but no one is going to understand that term.

In one series, there was the phrase “What is this, my shower?”, when a pregnant woman was asked if she had already chosen a name for the baby. The subtitler had translated this literally as Mikä on tämä suihkuni? (≈What is this shower of mine?), completely losing the context.

I think most newbies would rather find the answer themselves in the wiki or old forum threads, but that’s often difficult if you don’t know what exactly you’re looking for.

Running with your example, let’s say I’m trying to find out the color of the sky but don’t know it’s called sky. And to make it worse, right now it’s covered by some kind of gray mass… Is that perhaps The Cloud I’ve heard people talking about? I would Google something like “huge thing above color” but unsurprisingly I wouldn’t end up on your wiki. So I end up asking the question on the forums instead.

I used to work in IT support, where 95% of the questions were about things that were already comprehensively documented if people would just read. Instead of yelling at customers for asking dumb questions, we had response templates we could send with just a single click.

I don’t understand why communities overwhelmed by repeat questions don’t do something similar. The next time someone asks about the sky color, it would take just one click to reply politely with a link to that wiki article and everyone would be happy.

It works great when you log in as a user like you normally would on a Windows pc. But on a server you want it to run as a service, starting automatically in the background and/or being managed by the failover cluster without requiring a user to log in.

The solution back then was to use netplwiz autologon. Obviously a hack and bad for security, but fine for a homelab. After googling it now, it looks like some other “solutions” are documented in the GitHub issue about this.

Asking out of curiosity: is there a specific reason you’re running Windows on your server? I used to do the same on my home servers because that’s what we used to have at work, and I wanted to learn and test some stuff. But it was a difficult road, to put it mildly. Simple things, like getting Docker autostart on boot seemed almost impossible. At some point I just gave up and switched to Linux.

Cool idea, interesting to see what comes out

Honest question: Aren’t you worried about broken glass, needles, hot asphalt etc. when barefooting in a city? Or about getting a small cut and a nasty infection via that? Personally I love going barefoot when hiking or backpacking or just on local walking trails, but I’d never consider doing it in the city.

Not criticizing you by any means, just curious.
