    Can at least see historic versions of that page using wayback machine. 12k users in 2020 to 25k today.

    So the user count doubled in mid 2023 as a result of Reddit's API changes, and has been stable since then.

    I discovered the Ubuntu forums post archive on GitHub and wanted to see my old posts from 2006-2009 when I was active there.

    Search results for my username only turned up one entry where it was quoted in someone else's comment, and I didn't find a browse or search for posts made by a user.

    So I cloned the archive, used ag to grep for /Posted by .* on \d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d/ and build a ~1gb text file where each line contains thread file name, comment author's username, and date posted.

    This allowed for subsequent processing to build an index for any username.

    I let Claude make the Python script to process the 1gb file into markdown index file for a user.
    It can create an index for every user, but probably not a good idea to create so many files.

    I was certainly a dip shit at times.

    The only thing bad about git is that people centralised in using GitHub as a common source repository hosting platform, antithetical to the idea of a decentralised VCS.

    But that's just what people do: we trade some functionality for convenience.

    Same kinda. Some combined game of Civ + simcity + aoe depending on the view level.

    • zoomed in to control the individual units like it's an rts like AOE.
    • zoomed out a bit and its city builder level of control.
    • zoomed out further it's civilisation level.
    • zoom out more and it's an implied observational simulation of a planet, perhaps with some control over LEO/space activities.
