Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that squeaky rocking chair over there. Have some hot cocoa. That’ll be fifty yuan. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at #internationale:genzedong.org.
Join our Discord if you are so inclined
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.

this bot gets my coveted stamp of approval
Thanks, it’s my bot. It’s currently misbehaving and leading to my IP being rate limited. I’m going to need to fix that, probably by switching to the WebSocket API, for which I’ll need to add support to my
go-lemmylibrary.Definitely use a websocket connection instead of repeatedly polling the server with requests.
Yes, that’s what I intend to do. I avoid polling at all costs whenever possible. The problem is it’s a bit more difficult to implement and use the WS api in Go because of how it’s structured, so I decided to implement polling first.
Bot should be using WS now. Testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLYe3Cv_pUI&t=12s
