Don’t like it either. The way I browse, I often click on images directly which doesn’t show the title text.

I see Farside comics and I expect to either see the caption under the drawing, or see the lack of a caption and know the joke is in the image. I thought this one didn’t have a caption, and was frankly confused a little.

I’ll give it a look. I’m still in the early stages of the project, so it’ll be a bit before I get to the point where I work on the database side of things.

Your order is correct!

With the help of the other comment suggesting to measure the voltage of VCC, I was able to verify all the pins were working.

I have the pin order now!

I (very carefully) tested the pins for a brief moment to verify it all was working.

First I verified the voltage of vcc as 3.5v. Red to that and black to ground worked with no problems.

I figured the blue was probably in it’s correct place so I tried it and got video.

Quick test with green have me LED power.

The male part of the plug is borked, so I’ll just solder the wires on. Might even fashion up my own plug if I’m feeling fancy. I’m sure I got some spare connectors lying around somewhere.

“It could even be…”

“WOAH!”

“What? It was obvious! He was the anarchy”

Looked it up, we’re about 10,000 years too late

After reading some of the other comments, I’m definitely going to separate the systems. I’ll use something like json or yaml as the output for the raw scraped data, and some sort of database for the final program.

Glad I could brighten up your day!

That’s good to know.

WhAt’S a CoMpUtEr?

One concern I’m seeing from other comments is that I may have more data than SQLite is ideal for. I have thousands of stories (My estimate is between 10 and 40 thousand), and many of the stories can be several pages long.

What’s your reasoning for that?

At this point, I think I’ll only use yaml as the scraper output and then create a database tool to convert that into whatever data format I end up using.

A few keywords in there I’ll have to look up, but I get the majority of it.

Yeah, I’m not too sure yet how complex the tags will be in the end. They are basically genres at the start, but I may make them more complex as I go.

After reading some of the other comments, I doubt I’ll use yaml as the main storage method. I do like the idea of using yaml for the scraper output though. Would give me a nice way to organize the data elements for each story in a way that can be easily read when needed.

Is this something that can be run locally without a server? I’m aiming for something as simple as opening the notes app on your phone and selecting a story.

That’s a good idea! Would yaml be alright for this too? I like the readability and Python styled syntax compared to json.

Did not know that. I’ll keep that in mind.

I do like the sound of that.

I’m not too worried about performance, since, once everything is running, most of the operations will only be ran every few weeks or so. Don’t want it slowing to a crawl for sure though.

The text search looks promising. I’ve had the idea of automating “likely tags” that look for keywords (sword = fantasy while spaceship = sci-fi). It’s not perfect, but it could be useful to roughly categorize all the stories that are missing tags.

Nightmare?

To me it says more: “child-like joy and innocence breaks down the walls of the world”

Unless the title is saying the girl is a nightmare to society and the people who want to box you in? Guess it works that way too lol
