debian-slim or redhat's ubi8 image would be another option for glibc-based containers in case others are interested. From what little I've read, it looks like someone would have to hack apgsearch itself to make it "compatible" with a container. I admit I don't have a good understanding of container...

There's someone named TechnobladeNeverDies who submit hauls to b3s23/C1 with the version 'charityengine.com'. Doubtlessly, that's a spam. It's entirely legitimate (you can tell by the quantity of new discoveries). Thanks to users 'Rytis' and 'very', apgsearch is running on https://en.wikipedia.org/...

I'd love to get apgsearch containerized, but I have zero clue how one would go about it. From what little I've read, it looks like someone would have to hack apgsearch itself to make it "compatible" with a container. I admit I don't have a good understanding of containers in the first place though. ...

This is a project I was working on for a week or two, and I thought it might be useful to others. When I mentioned it in the apgsearch thread, it was suggested I post it here. Edit from 2023: Look, a Docker image! https://hub.docker.com/r/etmoonshade/apgmerabase I suspect it won't work if you just t...

Can the search speed for a computer with an Intel Core i5 processor be updated to 10000/s? Give it as many threads as you can give it using -p at the command line. Also make sure your computer is set for "high performance" in power settings - that bit me HARD when I was working on my setup. Edit fr...

From my humble experience of soup searching. the benchmark (of search speed) is mainly decided by the OS plantform. Linux > WSL > Cywin > VM. even different distribution would have 10% speed differency. Debian > Ubuntu. Just a quick little update on this. Because I've been thinking "wow, that's kin...

62 cores * 1 virtual machine, 62 cores total: ~40k soups/second (s/s) 15 * 4, 60c: ~55k s/s (I think - didn't keep this data specifically) 7 * 8, 56c: ~75k s/s So with my specific setup (an Epyc 7302 server at 32c/64t, running Hyper-V) for your reference, the apgsearch running on my WSL / 4600H (6c...

Better advice would be 'if you're submitting hauls at most once every 30 minutes, then there's no need to increase your haul size any further'. Thanks for the insight on this. I assume your worry is overall I/O still, so if I submit 4 concurrent hauls per 2 hours, that's mostly the same as 1 haul p...

Replace 'object' with 'attribute' in that URL: https://catagolue.hatsya.com/attribute/yl144_1_32_3cc5a04d9bfba1ec28e6ae438ed34a56/b3s23 and it tells you: There has a trick to display all discovery date and username. just replace object with attribute in url. like: https://catagolue.hatsya.com/attri...

I'm looking over my contributions from last year (just now finally getting back to submitting hauls...) and I'm realizing - I have a lot of blue hauls, but what's special about them? It'd be nice if, when looking over a haul, I could see any objects found in that haul where I have a "discovery" - it...

Two questions (and a lot of subquestions :V ): First, is there any value in feeding apgsearch more memory to increase efficiency anywhere? (and if so, would it be a possible command line switch?) Second, is there a point (other than the 1MB max size of a haul) where it's better to go for a smaller h...
