Thanks for making this open source. What about the index? Are you open sourcing that also?
If I can solve the logistics of publishing that data, then sure. In its most compressed form it's still of order 100 Gb. The intermediate goal is to have some standardized testing dataset of a couple of hundred megabytes to a gigabyte or so.

I would guess that the chan board members and other asshats raided their projects in the past, because they regularly attack / harass these kind of projects when they're not fully open source. And let's put it this way: the moderation tools at GitHub are a bad joke. Can't even disallow abusive language, so they're 100% ineffective.
"disallow abusive language"? Do you think chan board users are too stupid to know how to bypass an "abusive language" filter?
You mean "image board user", right?

#43> I feel GitHub has taken an incredibly toxic turn with its emphasis on social features This the first time I've seen this view of GitHub, and I'm struggling to figure out what specifically he's referring to.
Seconded. GitHub's social features are undeniable (why distribute a VCS if not to make it more social?), but I'm curious about the toxicity.
Because it is easier to set up?

The author of the article was saying that Github was toxic and I personally do not see an issue tracker as a social feature.
Comment threads everywhere (including on commits and lines of code), these comment threads then having emoji reactions, and the inability to disable any of that (same for the pull request feature, which also leads to more comment threads) can get somewhat annoying when a group has decided to target you for arbitrary reasons, and such potential 'needing to see harassment' being deeply embedded in one's code workflow (…
I also object to how the platform encourages low-effort drive-by participation from bots and the like.

#48Do you have any high level architecture docs? Would love to hack on it.

#49Great job with Marginalia. Do you plan to open source your data as well or only the code?

If I can solve the logistics, maybe. I don't have the needed bandwidth and off-site storage at this point.
