Huzzah! First new model since November 2024! Should catch Instagram and Discord a bit better, and also yield fewer false positives! Please give feedback if you think it's working better/worse! 💚

While we're on the topic, quick survey: Are there any services I should add to the model? Do you get much value from labels other than X, Bluesky and/or Truth Social?

Apologies, there was some downtime with the auto inference engine the last few days, just realised it this afternoon. Hoping to overhaul a bunch of the tech stack sometime in the next few weeks, including retraining the model. 🤞🏼

Tried recreating the service record again, still feel like the service is missing a lot of screenshots. I think model retraining time draws nigh, RIP my free evenings

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 13/04/2026

I think Truth Social has changed UI a lot recently so I need to retrain the model with that. Same with Twitter and Bluesky. Hoping to do so in the next month or two. Apologies for how lacklustre model performance has been of late!

I'm honestly not sure, I find it really challenging to debug label propagation issues, wish there was better tooling to investigate them.

010

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 07/04/2026

The AppView disconnected from the labeller so I had to recreate the service record, which means that anything labelled since that happened and now wasn't properly ingested. I think I've fixed it now though.

Please report posts that the labeller misses: "..." menu › Report post › Other › Xblock I'm retraining the model soon and reports are extremely helpful for improving accuracy!

There's a lot of screenshots happening today so apologies if processing is a bit slower than usual

We have a localised power outage at the moment so services are down for now

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 27/01/2026

We're experiencing some inference downtime due to the relay switchover, hopefully back soon!

Status: Localised network outage, hopefully back soon

Ah! Much appreciated! I updated my Ozone image just now and stuff started working again.

Autolabelling service outage while I figure out why Ozone keeps dropping 502s

Argh it's not PC maintenance and repair without at least 2 aggravating moments

Service update: Inference is going down while we continue to upgrade our systems

Service update: system upgrade complete (tho I still wanna upgrade CUDA to 13 at some point)

New GPU has been installed and we're just updating drivers now. Hold onta yer butts

Service update: scheduled downtime for system upgrade about to commence, will update here once complete.

Pretty relieved to realise my AWS credit doesn't expire until September next year (and that I've only used £2k of the £5k from the ATProto grant), that gives me a good few months to get XBlock onto stable local infra. I think if I can get Redis and Ozone back locally it'll be sustainable.

Continuing to have intermittent connectivity issues with our London datacentre (Aendra's flat)

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 27/10/2025

Service update: we had a localised network outage earlier so it might take awhile for the inference server to catch up with backlog

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 26/10/2025

Service update: I've figured out why Ozone isn't accepting appeals, apparently there was a lexicon change or something which meant we had to explicitly configure it to accept appeals and not just reports. Appealing a label should work now, sorry that took so long to fix!

090

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 18/10/2025

There is an issue with appeals not submitting properly, I'm investigating that today. I hoped it would be as simple as restarting Ozone but alas nothing in life is that easy.

090

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 15/10/2025

Yeah, sorry about that. 💚 There's been a lot of UI drift lately and we really need to train another iteration of the model soon.

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 25/09/2025

Open to feedback: our moderation efforts have really slowed down so it's taking longer than it should to action appeals (apologies!). I'm thinking, should the appeals process be semi-automated? I've refrained because it's somewhat open to abuse but I suspect it would help more than hinder.

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 25/09/2025

The Ozone instance appears to be struggling, please bear with me as I figure out what's up

030

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 25/09/2025

There's been a lot of UI drift lately so it's probably time to retrain the model, I've noticed it's been really bad at labelling Bluesky screenshots as Twitter recently. I'm juggling a half dozen deadlines right now but I'll try to do that sometime in the next while, please bear with me.

The queue was indeed the issue, there's a 4M post backlog (likely from that week it was down) and newer posts were being put at the very end so by the time a post is processed it's super old and everyone's seen it already. 🙈 I've switched it to process newer posts first so hopefully that'll help! 🤞🏼

0141

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 07/07/2025

Update, it should be working better now, I've switched the queue to prioritise newer posts. 🤞🏼

030

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 07/07/2025

Restarted the auto-labelling process and am running into issues with the Redis queue, it seems stable now but will investigate further later.

0102

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 07/07/2025

It's still limping along! I need to retrain the model I think, there's been enough UI drift that it's starting to get really bad at missing screenshots. It's always a huge amount of work to do that so it admittedly might take awhile.

130

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 05/07/2025

I think there's a connectivity issue with the Ozone instance at the moment and labels aren't correctly propagating, or the model's needing retraining, or something. Please bear with me as I troubleshoot this. 🙏🏼

0142

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 29/06/2025

Uh sorry I have no idea how long things must've been down for. I should seriously migrate this machine to Linux already

0160

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 25/03/2025

We don't have anything to do with that user's lists, sorry. We simply label screenshots, that's it.

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 24/03/2025

How weird, it doesn't look much like Bluesky! Thanks for tagging, I'll add that to the false positive training set, hopefully I can improve that in the future.

I've moved all the firehose parsing to the cloud so expect to see some labels now. 🤞🏼

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 13/03/2025

XBlock's down at the moment because my local network can't keep up with the firehose and it keeps knocking my household offline. Please bear with me, I'm going to lift the firehose parsing to cloud in the next day or two and hope to restore service.

XBlock Screenshot Labeller @xblock.aendra.dev · 08/03/2025

Something is totally busted with our local infrastructure right now and I can't seem to keep the firehose consumer running for longer than two hours without it bringing down my entire network. I'm going to need to replatform some infrastructure this weekend, wooo yay lucky me.
