carniboy's new project

this crusty old forum, long abandoned by the admins, not only has a broken registration form, but also a very inflexible search function that insists on returning only 500 search results at at time

considering that carni is a prolific author with nearly five thousand contributions, the basic search was of no use to him

neverthelesss, carni was able to bend the search form to his will, whereby he meticulously tinkered with its many input paramaters to succesfuly obtain, in batchs of at most 500, a list of every one of his posts

whereupon carni used his programming skills (I mean, ChatGPT) to write a Kotlin script that would parse the 31 HTML pages containing all search results, and extract from it the post IDs.

attatched is the resut of this operation, where the careful observer will notice that the number of post IDs found by the program correlates to exactly the number of posts carni has (minus one = this one).

with these post IDs, carni will later write another Kotlin script that fetches them one by one (in a slow manner so as not to overwhelm the servers), extract his verbatim words, and gather them all (along with the timestamp) in a single file.

the purpose of this endeavor is to preserve the historical records of his writings since 2011, AND coolest of all: submit it to ChatGPT for an analysis on his personality.

I shall leave you with one of carni's classics, randomly selected:

context: in that post, carni was experiencing psychosis (the reason for his later self-deportation) and scared shitless of death.

carni has finished the work and saved to his archive his entire post history in the format below

let carni know if you're interested in also safeguarding you post history, lest this forum gets shut down one day and your words are forever lost

the price is 1 cent ($) per post, paid via Paypal. i.e. 4,739 posts = 47 dollars.

I mean you basically told us how the secretb sauce is made. Kotlin script to parse HTML plus chatgp-crutch.

In any case, I don't really care for my past posts. Sure some are winners, there's a lot of duds, they reflect the time they were posted in, but I'm a changing person.

Unlike those who are indoctrinated, ie have mental shackles, I'm willing to update my core beliefs no matter how painful. They put serval degrees of mental shackles on you but once you're cognizant of them they can't control you. The truth is the truth. Ignore it at your own peril.

An easy way of indoctrination is short mantras. Even memes can be indoctrination. Short cutting deeper thought processes. It's all so fun. Repeat until the problem is solved. It's all so cringe. Ignorance is also cringe.

I agree, your posts are better left to disappear along with this forum, Switch hater

You've managed to shit up two whole categories out of 5 with nothing to show for it. Except for 4,000 forgettable posts of probably the best time in your life. Best of luck with Brazil. Lol. OmegaLul.

I think this is a cool song.

nice hustle
