Can someone help me with gallery-dl (i am halfway there)
My question is about the docs. Here is the link to gallery-dl on github. from what i see it's kept up-to-date. I'm trying to download a post from ig through any method. Also thinking of creating a configuration-file if necessary. My OS: windows 10, i have worked with a cli before but on linux and my knowledge is very superficial. I have managed to use this tool on other websites like pinterest but can't think of any solutions for instagram as of now. The errors i get are about using the authentication method and when trying to set the cookies-from-browser option.

Gothub: Alternative front-end for GitHub written with Go
I could set up a redirect to the '/raw/' pages but then the syntax highlighting is gone.
The same page is perfectly viewable over plain html on gothub[2] though.
Github also seems to be hiding their "Assets" (binaries et al) on the "/releases" page for some projects behind javascript(especially older versions).[3] Something else that wasn't the case about ~1.5 years ago.
Would be great if gothub could unshackle the links to those as well[4], but that appears to not be working at the moment[5] .
This project appears to be a more performant(measurably so), more privacy friendly(as Microsoft won't have a record of your interest in certain projects) alternative front-end for "non logged in" github users.
I like it, but it still needs work.

I don't publish to Instagram but I want to follow the posts of people that are only on that network. What are my options?
since it's primarily a picture/video platform, you can use gallery-dl to scrape the feeds you want to follow if you provide authentication, and you should be able to write the captions and stuff to metadata files, but not sure how you'd display it in a useful way.

If I have a subscription to a paid adult site that allows subscribers to download all galleries and videos at full resolution, etc, what's the best way to rip the entire site? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
gallery-dl (CLI based) focuses on images.

Gallery-dl (custom folder configs, reddit "galleries" and archive-format)
Maybe there is a way to set specific configs only for reddit gallery images, but I'm not sure how it works. Gallery-dl's documentation did not help me, and I also tried to find information from the source code.

What is the best way to get images for a dataset
You can try image scraping with something like gallery-dl or grabber. I use grabber for stuff off of booru style sites (anime weeb shit), and grabber for everything else. The challenge with these tools is:

Alt Text box can't fit one screenshot of text
Interestingly there is some discussion for Mastodon with people asking the limit to be smaller, which raises the question as to the purpose of alt text, and how to properly handle larger text lengths in screen reader programs.

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884
The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.
If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.
The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.
HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.
Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.
Suggestions?

Unity's Open-Source Double Standard: The Ban of VLC
>You can defeat the Affero clause by putting the software behind a proxy, for example
Could someone elaborate on this? This is NOT my understanding of the license, and it seems absurd considering e.g. Mastodon is AGPL but the standard install requires a reverse proxy[1]. If using a proxy defeats Affero, why would the Mastodon team do this? Are they stupid?
