Grey and Myke talk about how they take breaks during their workdays, share some fiction books they’ve enjoyed, discuss a major change Myke is making to his tech setup, and express their sympathy for phone case makers.
if you notice any issues feel free to comment them on this post and i'll look into them
We're back!
Thanks for sticking through the migration, it took extra long this time 😅
The VM I'm running Lemmy in ran out of space so every image attachment is now being hosted in Wasabi so things might be a bit faster now :)
consider donating via Stripe or LiberaPay 💜
i'm going to be migrating uploads to object storage due to my storage filling up
downtime will start at 6am UTC and toast.ooo will be back at an unknown time after that
to stay up-to-date join the Matrix room and/or join the Discord
thank you for the order, glad it arrived :)
for anyone else coming to this post wanting a poster you can get your own (it also supports the project!)
https://sc07.shop/category/canvas-2024/
there's also last year's poster and various instance stickers (proceeds of which go to those instances)
also if you get a poster, adding stickers won't affect the shipping cost
i'd say pretty good, i've gotten 6 orders total (all of which being shipped out last week) 🎉
i tried making a couple posts for the posters but they didn't too much traction so i assumed people weren't interested 😅
(in order of being posted)
i'll make a post in !fediverse@lemmy.world later today most likely, just got back from a well needed vacation lol 🌴

Get Canvas 2024 & 2023 prints, and stickers to support various instances!
i've added this as an issue so i don't lose it
i suggested two additional changes in the issue as a comment, i'll copy them here for completeness:
- only allow this to happen if the surrounding area also hasn't been interacted by anyone else (maybe like a 5x5 around the pixel) to be undone by the eraser
- only works for pixels placed within the last 5 minutes
i didn't end up getting to this before the event ended, but this should be added for next year
there's an issue to add support for undoing pixels with bans, but that would mainly get used in very bad circumstances and wouldn't be the default
as others have mentioned, there's not going to be anything that automatically does actions against IPs, instead opting for a flag that moderations can look into further
i've also mentioned somewhere else in the thread, but i wouldn't want to punish new accounts as, especially this year, it brings new people to the Fediverse and i don't want to hamper the growth of that :) (it also isn't very possible to get a reliable creation date of new accounts because of how the fediverse is designed)
Sounds like a cool concept, i've added it to the issue tracker to not lose it :)
i've created an issue for the lower cooldowns for smaller instances
sounds like a neat idea imo :)
and for the second suggestion, i'd like to avoid imposing restrictions on new accounts as Canvas has brought a lot of people to the fediverse and i wouldn't want to hamper their contributions because they just found out about it
i've added the overlay toggles as an issue so i can keep track of it :)
as well as this one, i've added it as an issue to keep track of it :)
this one also seems neat, added it as an issue to keep track of :)
added this as an issue to keep track of it :)
sounds like a neat idea
right click ended up getting used by a moderation tool, which admittingly wasn't picked well 😅
there's an issue for changing the color picking button
i originally picked middle click because that's what minecraft did lol
this is a very neat idea, i like it
i've created an issue for it so i can keep track of it :)
this is a neat idea
i've created an issue for this which also includes @AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world's & @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works's comments
i'll keep a note of that, a couple people have also suggested alternatives to canvas expansion
i'm glad you enjoyed the event, it was really fun to run (and fix bugs for) :)
there's an issue to write instructions on how to setup the environment
the server requires the authentication server to be fediverse-auth with the current implementation, but there's an issue to add support for other providers
(once the documentation is written i'll be putting it in #canvas-meta:aftermath.gg to keep people in the loop)
i've created an issue to track this :)
this error was being sent by the server, so somewhere along the chain your computer got desynced from the pixels the server was aware about

Database Dump
the old system for pixel placement logs was flawed, and someone suggested the brilliant idea of just publishing the database dump, it already has all the information anyway
no ip addresses, or ban logs only pixel placements (with username), pixel moderation logs and palette settings
https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt
the event has concluded! thank you all for participating!
this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)
⚠ Crossposters: link back to this post as it will be updated with more information ⚠
Event date: July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC til July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours) July 16th @ 4am UTC (72 hours + 24 hours) (it was extended due to a massive performance issue that caused major downtime)
Future events
I'm planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned 👀
If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)
Supporting the project 💜💜💜
I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events
poster sales
posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to hello@sc07.company 💜
https://sc07.shop
the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:

direct donations
Donating via Stripe is the best way to donate directly
contributing to the code
canvas is open-source and is on a self-hosted gitlab instance at https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas
at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits
Timelapses
i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that's also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)
Data
Database dump: (48mb) https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt
Contains pixel placements, canvas moderation actions, and palette colors no IP addresses
chat.fediverse.events
This will stay up as long as i can keep it running for, i'll make some improvements eventually as well
tools (like a canvas atlas)
if anyone is wanting to build something for canvas, i'd be willing to host the project & give it a subdomain of .fediverse.events
just send me a matrix dm, a dm on discord (grahhnt) or an email hello@sc07.company
