@hansw That seems closed, but doesnt mean it was truly fixed, perhaps it is cropping back up. Best to ask @Gargron what he thinks about this problem, and it may be better if you file it as an issue on github in case he doesnt notice or doesnt feel like addressing issues through mastodon (he tends to be ok with it in the past it seems).

@veritanuda Simply having a name only guarantees you will reserve that name on peertube. Relaxed posting restrictions on the peertube requires your QOTO mastodon account to be actively used and not just have the name registered.

If you have an interest in moving over to QOTO and migrating your M.C account here you'd be welcome to do so, and if you plan to be active I can activate the account for you on that expectation. But if your just coming here for the peertube instance I wouldnt suggest you move your entire account over just for that, but its your call.

@veritanuda interesting to concern, and one I share to some extent with the limited long term viability of digital media and all. Though im not sure how peertube solves that or if it really answer the question as to the nature of the content. It sounds like its just random stuff you want to post to preserve it somewhere and not necceseraly things that are of interest to others (though maybe some will be).. Without an active account on QOTO I would say based on that description our server probably isnt the best place for you without an active account on qoto.org itself.

@veritanuda I can yes.. but before I do I'd like to verify your usage of the system, which is why we have that...

What type of content do you intend to post?

Do you have an account on QOTO's mastodon and is it active?

Neither of these are strict rules, but some notes about why I ask.

1) Account names on QOTO's mastodon is privileged. That means that if someone takes a peertube account that is the same name as a QOTO account you own you can ask to have the peertube account closed and given to you instead. We do this to ensure people can have the same username across all services is they wish. As such while it is not required that you have a main QOTO account it is a good idea that you create one here anyway (even if you wont use it) just to make sure you secure your peertube username. Otherwise someone could register a QOTO account by the same name and use that to take your peertube account (though if it is obvious that is the reason they did it we may reject the request if the account isnt particularly active or is new).

2) While your Mastodon QOTO account does not need to be active to qualify for peertube it does give your accounts posting privileges some leniency. Users on QOTO with peertube accounts are allowed to post any content within reason, no public nudity and a few other rules. There is no subject or topic restriction. However users who are not active on Mastodon QOTO tend to be a bit more restricted in the sense that we do require they contribute STEM related content or generally high caliber content in line with our server purpose. So while QOTO users dont get much content restrictions others will have their content monitored and shouldnt use our peertube for general content

If this sounds good just let me know your user name and I can activate it for you on the above conditions.

@TonyStark

Let me see if i understand the biases nonsense.. A **republican** is preaching about how we need to honor the election results fairly and not exclude ballots solely because they dont count for us.. a republican....

A **republican** stated "I’m an engineer. We look at numbers."

A republican said " "I'm a Republican. I believe in fair and secure elections.""

Lets also be clear what he **didnt** say, he did **not** say "Republicans are pressuring me to manipulate the vote", that is a misrepresentation of what he said and the opinion he vocalized. In fact all he said in terms of politicians is that one particular politician said "you better not botch this recount". Look carefully at that, and research the topic in general. Its important when you read news you read the facts stated first (specific quotes or verifiable data) and seperate that from the opinion and speculation that news tends to riddle along side it... The fact that a politician, one person, told him not to botch the recount is the fact. Him having integrity and doing a property recount is a fact... any illusion to masses of republicans telling him to cheat is a complete exaggeration and manipulation of the known and stated facts, however.

## The Take Away

Here is what you get when you actually read the article and ignore the propaganda ...

* A republican has recently been vocal and has demonstrated integrity in doing a recount above all else.

* Another republican told him to not screw up.

* Democrats spent 4 years doing everything they could to try to overthrow fair and legally determined election on baseless accusations, and lost, resorting to coercion and manipulative tactics for 4 years...

Guess who comes out of this looking like the bad guys, especially when they're still out it with articles like this. Man the democrats are the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black, and I have never voted republican a day in my life and think their scum, I used to vote democrat, Obama was the last democrat I voted for, never again. I was ashamed of what Obama did with my vote and am ashamed of what the democratic party has become. somehow they managed to sink as low and lower than the republicans.

Short term profit goes back into investment for growth. Long term it will be invested in other profitable products and ventures. Some small portion tends to go into crypto for me.

@curt @hansw@mastodon.social

@mistermonster

I know, while I dont want what I sent blasted all over the internet, if it did leak it wouldnt give away anything at all. so I dont need it to be encrypted or secure. Just dont want to blast it from the rooftops is all. Anyway, you should have the link so you can see 1 day worth of trades and backtests

@2ck

@mistermonster

Sadly the graph wont give you any info to know the math behind them, and im sorry for that. As someone who opensources everything he does it is kinda killing me not to release it. But the money im making is just too much, at least for the moment :) Knowing me ill probably slip the algorithm into the open source world at some point and just never tell anyone it can make a fortune at the stock market and hope no one notices :) But even then not until i made my first billion :)

Anyway ill pm you shortly with an image of a day of trading and the historic performance testing results so you can see.

@2ck

@mistermonster

I can certainly show you the data to prove that to be true.. though its not as simple as counting number of bets wont because the algorithm bails early on bad investments and rides out good ones.. So the win to loss ratio isnt particularly telling unless you weight it by the degree of win or loss, which is what what I've done by normalizing my backtesting. The way I backtest is by ensuring that the amount invested is always a fixed cash quantity. As it goes over the amount the extra money is held as cash and not invested, if it goes below the starting amount then it invests on margin up to the starting amount. This way the profit graph shows instantaneous performance rather than overall growth (which would be exponential).

When normalized in this way it is very clear that it found a real indicator because the drawdown is extremely minimal with consistent gains on both up and down markets... one moment

Would you like me to share with you a chart of actual buy/sell points the algorithm indicated and the success/failure of it? I can show that without revealing too much actually.

@2ck

@coucouf @2ck @debian

Yea I was part of that review indirectly as my own software was recently included in debian.

@2ck nope neither. It is performed so well that I cant really imagine anyone being able or willing to buy me out at a high enough price.

The risk of the algo seems extremely low. the strategy i applied has virtually no downturns over a 10 year period. and the returns are enormous.

I really cant see any way I could make more money selling it than just using it.

@drewfer Well interactive brokers provides a full on API to do whatever you wish.. Trading view is a bit different. It provides charts and rendering in app, and allows you to pull up a code editor right on the chart using a special language that trading view created specifically for stock market analysis and investing. so you can write a few line of codes defining a stock investment strategy then click a button and back test it on historic data. Due to the nature of it your algorithm has access to the historic data for quite a ways back (i use 10 years back test) but you dont have direct access tot he data.

While the language is very simple, it can cover most math based analytics,and can be more than powerful enough to do everything you need there. But it does have some limitations and will only take you so far.. If you want to go past mathematical/regression type stuff it wont work. You can not and would not want to write a neural network in that for example.

@drewfer different places depending on what im doing or using... two main places are interactive brokers and tradingview.com

@comphys on sec busy, will reply

@hansw

Ahh I see, so it isnt limited to mastodon afterall.. Good news for me, bad for you.

@dansup @dogs

@comphys Was this suppose to be a response attached to a post? It reads like maybe it was suppose to be?

@hansw

Do **any** photos work? Is the pattern that 100% of photos when uploaded to the dog group fail like this and 100% of photos uploaded not to a group always work?

That seems to be the case, and if so, very strange indeed. Especially odd it has only happened to you and yet happens for you consistently.

@dogs

@hansw Well the extension might be important. When you upload a picture a background process takes it copies out smaller resolution versions it stores which are linked to as thumbnails. Also if the resolution is not agreeable with mastodon the main picture may also get resized. Depending ont he extension some extensions get converted into other extensions on upload entierly. so the extension could potentially matter in this case.

@hansw I certainly havent ruled out something in the QOTO domain, since it works uploading it to M.S it seems likely it is something specific to QOTO. I'm just trying to narrow down the symptoms so i can speculate on what it is and dive deeper.. can you answer the following questions

1) does this happen with all photos or just some?

2) does the issue occur when uploaded direct as a post, not to a group

3) are you using any client software?

4) can you send me the original file, attached to an email maybe, so i can try testing with thtat. I suspect the one I fetched was preprocessed and thus changed whatever property of the file triggers the error

5) what is teh file extension?
