  • Sorry for the super delayed response, yesterday was very very busy for me and i couldn't respond

    There doesn't appear to be any failed deliveries, so I'm assuming it was a temporary failure in delivery

    If you do notice any other posts failing to deliver I can also look into them

    You can post it in this community, message me on Matrix @grant:aftermath.gg, or message me on Discord (grahhnt)

    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 💜

    toast.ooo will be going offline 6am UTC for migrations (5 hours from now)

    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

    It finally came in!
  • 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

  • It finally came in!
  • 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)

    1. toast.ooo post url
    2. toast.ooo post url - same post but grants.cafe link
    3. toast.ooo post url

    i'll make a post in !fediverse@lemmy.world later today most likely, just got back from a well needed vacation lol 🌴

  • Orders ship tomorrow (August 1st @ 6pm UTC)

    https://sc07.shop

    Get Canvas 2024 & 2023 prints, and stickers to support various instances!

    Suggestions for Canvas and future events!
  • 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
  • Featured
    Suggestions for Canvas and future events!
  • 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)

  • Featured
    Suggestions for Canvas and future events!
  • 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

    Suggestions for Canvas and future events!
  • 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

    If you would like to directly donate to Canvas w/o making any purchases, I accept donations via Stripe 💜

    Support

    If you are having issues with the website, send an email to hello@sc07.company

    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

    [2024] Thank you for participating!!

    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:

    • mastodon.world
    • lemmy.world
    • blahaj.zone
    • toot.community
    • toast.ooo
    • Canvas 2024

    ✨ I wanted to have the shop setup before the event ending, but i couldn't get it setup quick enough unfortunately

    EDIT: Shop is now live!

    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

    Special thanks

    thank you to the moderators that helped me this year, even with how stressful it was 🔨

    if you're interested in getting a print, drop your country below so i can calculate everything and make sure it's available

    if everything goes to plan the prints should be available after the event ends 🤞
