TrK needs no help in that department. He is a pro at bringing stuff from US into India.
BTW my LET stat parser is coming along. Chat gpt has been coming along nicely. I have been using it to write many functions that have the "hard" logic. Even used it to bootstrap the nessecary sqlite db interations i need and related models. Really easy. I feel like I am learnign nothing doing it though.. turned into more of a design project where i just have to piece together all things chatgpt is giving me
np! just poking at the typo
as long as the telly is still within my grasp i will be at peace with the world 
Reminder to get your daily entry for the racknerd winter gleam give away btw. Forgot to do mine today until just now! https://lowendbox.com/blog/bonus-code-friday-get-extra-entries-to-win-racknerds-arcade-game-machine-or-other-prizes/
This talk of sweaters and tv's reminded me!
This makes it sound like his is part of some underground uhhh smuggling ring
I am sure that is not the intent 
Sounds good. BTW, what are you implementing to detect similar comments
So that's probably the hardest part. Not looking at tackling that one. Just want to see some basic stats. I think I'll have the full thing minus stats ready to go tonight and I'll dump it somewhere people can grab it.
It has two modes of processing.. database posts and then analyze after with a separate app by reading the DB, or download posts and analyze inline while using it as a library.
The first option seems better because you don't have to keep re grabbing the data if you need new stats.
I'm not even going to think about handling edit posts though...
I'm also not going to attempt to make this a proper python lib.. Just copy paste the code and hack it up if you want to use it
Btw up to 6,180 notifications! How is @SillyGoose doing? I know they were pretty high up there as well. Been forgetting to tag them
Anyone know if I buy a 2.5GB vps now, can they move it to LA for free when inventory opens up?
Hello, I would like to double the bandwidth.

Thanks!
Since it's just simple data, mostly numbers, why not use Redis instead of a DB-based solution?
RackNerd does allow changing nodes incase of any issue, not sure of the DC/location though.
I've used redis for non persistent storage in the past.. does it give persistent store? I actually cant recall/not aware.
Im not also thinking something like nosql would've been better if i store the post data for future analysis.. Odd text to dump into structured sql columns
Interesting.. thats good to know. I guess i should reach out to sales and see what they say. I cant remember if LA had an upcharge as well..
Nice! Dont miss this one @dustinc ! Wish i could put in another racknerd order now too!
Yah, you can set the duration yourself. Shoudln't be an issue for this one, as Ed's script currently refreshes data every 5 minutes.
Ah very cool! Thanks!
The way mine works is you configure a min and max refresh timeout. When it pulls the data down, it'll throttle itself by a random amount of seconds between min and max and hit the end point after that throttle expires.
It will do this page by page so..
if last processed page = 0, then it hits page 1 after throttling itself. If all 30 posts are there. It will parse all posts. If all 30 are not there, it'll refresh that same page on the throttle until it gets all 30 but parsing each new post as it appears on a refresh. Anytime it finds new data (basically a post) it'll update the state of where its at so you never need to come back to that post again.
I intend to throttle it very very slowly.. It can run overnight and its not critical
Also, found this now on your recommendation
That's cool. Would love to see this in action.
looks like im not going to meet my deadline of having it ready for tonight. very close.. im not trying to make it pretty.. just work. At some point the ugliness of it all makes it harder to make it work though
Fixing it up some more.. coming soon.

Many thanks.
Woop I got it working! ITs atleast going through and finding each post once and only once and restoring state.. thats the major part.. I need to polish it up a little but it'll be in the public domain very soon...
One of us! One of us! @dustinc dont miss this guys double bandwidth gang!
