This is pretty cool thx. I like how they include both the researcher and their seminal works. It also helped me find another researcher that was into low tech other than Philippe Bihouix. I wonder why most researchers that are into that are French?

I forgot that this podcast existed. I have a bit of catching up to do.

Well maybe I should've been more specific. The reason why I mentioned low tech is because it tends to favor localized production and tech that can be easily repaired/modified/created. The pager and walkie talkie attacks came from them not having control over how the tech was produced. If they did have control over that then it would be less likely that this happened and even if it did they would be able to recover quicker.

PS I actually don't really care about Hezbollah doing this. They suck. It is just in principle it would be better.

I had a feeling that this war would start something like this. Israel has been a testing ground for advanced military technology/ideas for a while. Now that they are engaging in war it was inevitable that techniques or ideas that they have been hiding would eventually get used leading to the world being more dangerous than it was before.

Also as a side note this is why low tech is such a good idea. A small amount of dependencies usually means something is safer in the long run.

Long distances actually don't really mean much it can't be guaranteed that they actually correlate to much. It is mostly the local groups that are conserved and a bit of the global structure.

Yeah pretty much. There is also a weighting based on the percentage of comments in that community that come from that user.

I don't think it was included because there were no new comments made after august 1.

I had to try scraping the websites multiple times because of stupid bugs I put in the code beforehand, so I might of put more strain on the instances than I meant too. If I did this again it would hopefully be much less tolling on the servers.

As for the cost of scraping it actually isn't that hard I just had it running in the background most of the time.

Yeah I've noticed there aren't many clusters that encode specific ideas (there are a few like the anime, nsfw, or sometimes instance level clusters). Most of it just seems to be a blend. Sorta disappointing.

Probably a webgl problem. I had to use ungoogled chromium to open the page. I think it works on regular firefox too.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea so you can see how connected local communities are. Probably makes more sense to use original dimensions so no extra information is lost.

Map of 2000+ lemmy communities (danterious.codeberg.page)

This is my first try at creating a map of lemmy. I based it on the overlap of commentors that visited certain communities.

I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024 (sometimes shorter if I got an invalid response.)

I scaled it so it was based on percentage of comments made by a commentor in that community.

Here is the code for the crawler and data that was used to make the map:

Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don't we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?

I found this website that created a map of reddit with different countries for different topics and I thought it would translate to lemmy because instances sort of do this already really well.

There are about 6 pages.dev domains spamming lemmy.world communities

The volume is definitely inorganic, and is across a wide range of communities

pages.dev is Cloudflare's site hosting which can be used for free - there are likely many legitimate sites that use that domain, but the current flood is suspicious

chronicleresolve.pages.dev

thefreedomproject.pages.dev

versarch.pages.dev

dailypulse.pages.dev

newssphere-6fu.pages.dev

iniko.pages.dev

miniza.pages.dev

orino.pages.dev

I'm cross posting because @[email protected] seems to be doing the same thing.

It might be an attack vector or something idk but better safe than sorry.

Not sure about this one but seems to be following same pattern.

I saw this and thought this would be useful in noticing and analyzing trends across the web and fediverse in specific. Which could help with noticing and finding disinformation.
