Impressive mistake on publishing this doc from the FIA...

Sorry for the spam on @f1docs.bsky.social earlier! Haven't encountered this before; the document from earlier had a large image in it that put that page well beyond the file size limit for bsky. Added a feature that detects this and lowers the quality of the images if needed until they will fit.

Ugh, I've just stopped it will delete the duplicates and fix.

Can't wait for the first instance where these get misread/misinterpreted 🤣. In all seriousness though, the increased transparency is nice.

Probably 🙃. It's nice to have more transparency but he probably has ulterior motives.

Classic FIA. They've recalled this one now and published a fixed document.

Not at the moment. I can add F2 and F3 ones very easily though. I may do them this week.

Vettel? Oops... The bot has an optimistic memory 🤣. I forgot to actually upload my new car list -- won't happen again!

Finally pushed another update to yardsear.ch You can now filter search results with a date range, and sort by best match, oldest first, and newest first. Up next is to combine all results from the same episode into a popup and then add multi page results.

Thanks for including @f1docs.bsky.social It's crazy to see how much faster it's been growing compared to the X version these last few weeks.

Twitter/X is so annoying, the version of @f1docs.bsky.social over there failed to post documents in good time all weekend because it randomly decided to 429 most of the posts. Never had that problem before. Of course all the posts here went fine...

Should all work fine for Japan though. My other version of this bot on twitter (@F1Documents) has posted everything from this weekend though

Yeah I know, I didn't have it running because it kept running into ratelimit issues from bluesky. I've just turned it back on, but I wouldn't be able to have it post all documents from this weekend in one go so I just had it post the final classifications and points.

Ben @ben.faye.rs · 24/03/2024
Working on it, kept having issues with ratelimits...

Ben @ben.faye.rs · 17/11/2023
Had some problems with @f1docs.bsky.social. Fixed now and all document posts have been caught up.

Slightly different because twitter and bsky apis are very different. mostly the same though with functions shared between for scraping FIA website.

Ben @ben.faye.rs · 19/10/2023
ohh I see what you mean now -- i've deleted those. don't know why its doing it because if I run the script manually it doesn't even post at all...

Ben @ben.faye.rs · 19/10/2023
no? just don't look at the profile if you don't want to see it?

Ben @ben.faye.rs · 19/10/2023
Oh right lol, yeah that's my bot. 😅 Just some python I threw together based on work i'd already done for the @F1Documents account I have on twitter to autopost docs from the fia site.

Ben @ben.faye.rs · 19/10/2023
On Twitter? I run that one too.

Ben @ben.faye.rs · 16/10/2023
Better late than never I guess... Had problems with being ratelimited, might be to do with trying to login once a minute... Hopefully fixed now.

The two posts yesterday from @f1docs.bsky.social didn't make it to twitter until much later because once again the app on the developer account got moved *out* of the project and back to a standalone app (which is no longer supported).
