I love gathering statistics

Can you make a "Gas, Gas, Gas" meme about devRant users getting their ++ per week? That'd be gorgeous!

@vintprox wow okay you mean like a "race".
That sounds interesting hehe

@jonas-w I can help with meme video editing, and then you go publish :D

(OMG, this is hell of a work gathering stats here. Just look at this resilient API...)

Already monitoring my upvotes haha

So why do you like to gather statistics?

Check one:

⬜ because you have an unhealthy obsession with data

⬜ because you have an unhealthy obsession with metrics

⬜ Other reason not listed here

@sariel because i have severe brain damage

@vintprox seems to be easy gathering all the statistics probably making every hour a few devrant api requests with some selected users.

@vintprox can confirm
@vintprox does good videos mang.

@Wisecrack aw thank you 💟 Just doing what I enjoy :)

@vintprox okay i had fetched 2 weeks ago a list of active users in the last 8 days. Then i scanned through it for users with more than 300 internet points to yeet out some spammers (idk if i should lift that 300 points limit). And i now have 220 users which i'm gonna fetch every hour what their score is. And put all this stuff in a database. Seems to be working.

Currently have it that the script starts every hour and then makes every 10-15 seconds a request to the api to not ddos the api once an hour haha

So this script roughly takes 45 minutes to finish because of the delay i implemented. And then 15 minutes later it starts again lol

@sariel that's basically my boss.

@jonas-w Can you join Discord server? https://devrant.com/collabs/3221539

(Or other means of DM?)

@vintprox okay i've joined it but i can't get it to work to verify myself. I'll try it again later

@jonas-w well, it worked out 😄 Dunno, maybe glitched a bit

@vintprox ah great. Currently busy. But i will go online later

@vintprox sorry was a little longer busy and then quickly refactored some things in the script which fetches the data or else i wouldn't be able to sleep haha

But i made a distribution chart of the users i "track" when the last contribution (comment/rant) was.

Because i still try to figure out what users to track to keep many of the people that want to be in there but also to not make too many requests

@jonas-w holy water! OK! I'll be there once you give a signal :D
