FYI, if you're following me for discussion of retro technology, you'll probably want to follow me over at @bhtooefr, as I've moved my retro posting over there.
https://cathoderay.tube is a cozy little Pleroma instance run by @dr1ft, and when I saw the domain name, I had to sign up.

What is this strange concept called 'not being a dick'
...I think this YTMND that snuck into my Warrior's queue (I was on ArchiveTeam's Choice, not 500px directly) is actually downloading the entirety of Gizmodo.
I mean, that's actually not a bad thing to archive, given how Univision's going down the shitter, but not now damnit I need to download more of 500px!
On Saturdays we download the fuck out of things and shitpost.

Hey FYI if you‘re running the 500px archiving stuff, it‘s paused for a moment since somebody found essentially a list of CC images, which will speed things up a lot. You need to do nothing, just wait.
I’m sick to death of people being precious about #GMO produce. Functionally there is no difference between a grape bred to have little or no seed and a grape that has been modified in a lab for the same thing. Y’all are just scared of science.
You wanna talk about #Monsanto charging for “licenses” for their crops, ok. Talk about agribusiness killing the planet, ok. Talk about corporations copyrighting genetic code, ok. These are all valid concerns.
But the science is sound.

problem: myyyyy requests are being ratelimited! 😟😞😣😖
solution: ummmm... pretend to be many smaller computers in a trench coat? 🤔😅
FYI: 500px is doing rate limiting.
If you set up a warrior, set it for 1 concurrent item downloaded (per IP address - so if you've got multiple IPs, do assign warriors to those), otherwise you'll get banned for 30-120 minutes, it appears.
~1 million Creative Commons images on 500px.com are dissapearing tomorrow!
If you have the resources please install the Archiveteam's Warrior program and select the 500px project! https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ArchiveTeam_Warrior
