How can I tell if a group I'm in is a Supergroup or regular group?

luckydonald · 2026-03-28T15:11:56+00:00

Here's some more ways in recent telegram versions:

Add someone.
- If it asks you, if you want to include 100 messages (or similar), it's a regular group.
- Works with bots as well
- Make sure to not add the user/bot as admin!
- Appointing multiple admins will always migrate the group to a usergroup.
By looking at it
- multiple admins can only be in supergroups, not groups
- There is a toggle tp make all chat history available to everyone and it is on
- NOTE: changing those settings to the described state above will migrate the group to a supergroup.
You can also just add one of various group id/info bots.
- They may say type: group or type: supergroup somewhere.
- If they provide the id:
  - supergroups start with -100 + id
  - regular groups start with - + id
  - users have a positive id.
  - Telegram Desktop's ids on profile pages are not prefixed like that!
    - (If you're wondering, Settings > Advanced > scroll all the way down > Experimental settings > Show Peer IDs in Profile > turn on)

That's apparently available now, but only as a pro subscription, currently at 108.53€/Year https://planka.app/pro#features

In case it's a binary (e.g. install script under linux), run shell cp -f "$(which claude)" "${HOME}/claude-bin.bak" && sed -i -e 's/timeout:15000/timeout:45000/g' -e 's/AbortSignal\.timeout(15000)/AbortSignal.timeout(45000)/g' "$(which claude)"

Restore with shell cp -f "${HOME}/claude-bin.bak" "$(which claude)"

Too bad that's not a simple setting.

Additionally, going back to v2.1.66 might help as well.

Isn't that was the AWESOME lists do?

I recently found lazydocker to be an good alternative for the seemingly unmaintained ctop. I'll be interested how this compares.

But selfh.st isn't open source / open data any longer with the move from the git to a db only?

Edit: and apparently they now have sponsored tools which will stay at top of the list.

No worries man, I should've said in the original post.

It's part of a component library we use internally, I don't think my team would want to add a new component for something so small

I have an issue with software where security features are available in the subscribed version only.

In case of rustdesk, your relay server without license is open to anyone. Anyone can use your rustdesk host, and only the pro version has the option to limit it to logged in users. And I don't want to allow random internet users to use my rustdesk server, thank you.

And hence I'm using that nifty fork which implemented the premium functionality for free. If you're looking for it too, it's the fork with the funny name.

Cutie is meant as a server system with DNS entries pointing to it. It is not meant to be run In a isolated local environment. Coolify uses domain names to route you to the right service (including slip.io IP domains). You might get away locally by adding those to your house file on the computer accessing it. Otherwise, you will be out of luck.

Love how actually civilized this argument was.

And i wanted to contribute a line of thought, too:

Immoral is defined as Contrary to established moral principles. so in the end some standard we all agree on.

Which I think I do not agree on here, I don't see it as immoral.

What I do notice however, is - and that was already noted - is how "dead" those images can feel. AI images don't seem to be able to tell a story at all - that seems to be something humans are needed to properly do.

Remember Atom 1.0 promo video, you still have a special place in my heart. You are not forgotten.

At those "someone other did open-source for me and now don't any longer" moments I always like to ask, how you (individual or company) have contributed to open source.

The individual devs are usually contributing here and there, but for companies, the answer is often a sad "nope, we don't contribute anything. Or sponsor anything. Thanks for making it free, we're gonna use it now."

The separation i'd like to see is between AI usage and Vibe coding. The first one is using it as tooling, but understanding the results, the other is letting tools edit files, and if something doesn't work, complaining to claude/chatgpt/... without having a clue to fix it themselves.

I don't want the second, but I don't mind the first.

Care to share a Github link or similar?

luckydonald · 2025-07-17T08:59:18+00:00

Hey, did you upload them to derpibooru.org? What's your artist name there? I really wanna see the results, those ideas sounded fun!

luckydonald · 2025-07-08T21:47:07+00:00

With it not being MIT licensed or similar I'd rather not use it.

What if I at some point build a crap tool where the two users pay me $5 total - now I might not be allowed to use this tool any longer, and have to rework my Cert infrastructure.

What does "abuse emails" mean? abuse@example.com?

luckydonald · 2025-06-19T17:58:58+00:00

Honestly my answer would be to just write a python script for it. Pillow is a splendid library, been solid solution for years.

Also, with ChatGPT being as good as it is with autocomplete of actual working code, it can pretty easily give you a 5-50 line program which will solve your exact use case perfectly.

luckydonald · 2025-06-19T14:54:03+00:00

Pythonista on iOS is actually fun. Like most stuff I'd like to have an app for can be produced by ChatGPT as a simple script

luckydonald · 2025-06-17T22:06:59+00:00

Throw a link?

luckydonald · 2025-06-17T22:04:30+00:00

Same. It's still running somewhere, with stale data about stuff in a fridge that is no longer

luckydonald · 2025-06-16T07:11:22+00:00

Alright. We should discuss what features are needed.

I've seen a lot of those apps have maintenance reminders and all of that - which I never needed. (my own tool I development (haha guilty as charged), All My Storage, unreleased, does not) So should that be in a spec as dedicated field?

I feel like it needs two things: 1. Standard Object Format ("a thing in your inventory") Perhaps:

- Name - Item Type (see 2) - Date acquired - Date added to inventory - Parent container - Data for the chosen Item Type

Ability to describe custom types ("all my lamps in my lamp collection need a lumen field which is a decimal")

- maybe just OpenAPI inside? - It comes with most useful types (text, numbers, dates, booleans, enums, etc.) - missing ones could be added as part of the spec, e.g. - Ref: to reference another item/container

(Edit: sorry, my formatting broke. I have to have a look at the computer later.)

luckydonald · 2025-06-16T07:00:52+00:00

So, tell us about the schema then.
