Seems reasonable, I didn’t thought about port conflict. But in this scenario not running both clients at the same time also is an acceptable solution.


Thank you for this clarification, I will try to exit qbit and launch it again when HDD is accessible. Maybe it will reset those error statuses. I think it didn’t work some years ago (error status remained, had to start verification).


“regular check” - do you mean verification? Verification takes a lot of time, verifying 10s of gigs will take a lot of time. What do you forget, stopping torrents?


I can move, but next time when I will launch qbt without external HDD accessible, those torrents will gain error status “Files not found” and will require a long verification process. This is what I’m trying to avoid.

I will check how categories can help managing this, thx


I wonder how many messages can it store. I will try leaving my node for a day and will see timestamp of earliest messages and how many there are. Also, maybe it worth checking out firmware source code. Different devices can have different limit.


You should’ve seen this place when maga activist was killed last year. Also can’t see none of your images except last two, lol.



There are standalone devices with integrated keyboard for typing messages. I’d expect them to be able to store a lot of messages, regardless of firmware version. Imagine someone sent 7 “test” messages to Primary channel and thus wiped your DM’s. Doesn’t feel right.

What about MeshCore, can it operate as a mailbox? Mailbox mode will be extremely convenient.


it’s not really meant to operate as a “mailbox” where you can retrieve the messages later

Why not, where’s bottleneck? Internal memory is too small? Packets are 255 bytes each, doesn’t seem like there’s much to store.


Hmm maybe this is what I want: https://github.com/brad28b/meshtastic-cli-receive-text But I can’t install it currently, I get python stack trace instead…

UPD. Fail. I’ve managed to launch it, but it is same as “listen”, it receives only new messages in real time.


I wonder what metrics provided by fediverse are actually reliable. E.g. views count on PeerTube videos are not, they can be adjusted by instance admin to his liking, lol.


Nothing. All points randomly placed on a 2D plane, then forces are applied to them - all points are trying to move away from each other, but if 2 points are connected with an edge - they are attracted to each other. Check out this interactive demo of force-directed graph


Hi! Unfortunately, mastodon.uy is not included in the dataset, I don’t know why.


Try image with white legend in bottom left corner.


  1. According to this table your instance should be quite discoverable. Strange. This table is 1.5 bigger than dataset is, while opposite would’ve been more natural.

Your instance is not present in the original dataset, I don’t know why.


No, outgoing follows don’t affect color or size, only incoming (how many instances follow you and if they’re important or not). What’s the name of your instance? I will take a look later. Or you can try finding PeerTube instances.csv file on Kaggle (link in the post) and try checking yourself if your instance is in the dataset. To download a file account is needed, but you can search through specific column by clicking on header.


If there were real communities of instances in Peertube, they would’ve been visible in those pictures above, but looks like there are none. Everyone is kinda connected to everyone, no place for significant disjoint sets of videos. I hope one day at least NSFW instances will start moving away from the main hairy ball.


for this context, it seems very counter-intuitive

That’s very probable. Wait till I will get a graph where edges represent “blocks” relationships, will run same algorithm and will again say it’s centrality.


Not really, I don’t see no well-defined communities (except for those little green guys at the bottom). If there were real clusters, they would’ve been visible by mere placement of nodes, without the need for coloring them. Originally, it was communities which I hoped to discover. Well, to the left there are several groups of yellow nodes - when I was inspecting them closely, I’ve noticed they are grouped not because they’re connected to each other, but because they follow and they are followed by same set of nodes. That was the reason they “gravitated” to each other.
