It’s the latest lateral thinking cap that might or might not be imaginary!

-

Got inspired by the intro of the latest episode of @lateralcast and now I want a non-imaginary one…

Canvas ended last night, but before the end, barring anything else for us, I just dropped in a quick little Grom Fight Lumity in the Haskell logo

If you want to see it on the Canvas yourself, it's at 790x165, about halfway up from the center of the right half of the Cancas, due east of Mastodon's trunk, immediately west of C418, and south-southwest from boykisser

cross-posted from: https://toast.ooo/post/4077161

the event has concluded! thank you all for participating!

this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)

⚠ Crossposters: link back to this post as it will be updated with more information ⚠

Event date: July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC til ~~July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours)~~ July 16th @ 4am UTC (72 hours + 24 hours) (it was extended due to a massive performance issue that caused major downtime)

Future events

I'm planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned 👀

If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)

Supporting the project 💜💜💜

I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events

poster sales

posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to [email protected] 💜

the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:

• mastodon.world
• lemmy.world
• blahaj.zone
• toot.community
• toast.ooo
• Canvas 2024

✨ I wanted to have the shop setup before the event ending, but i couldn't get it setup quick enough unfortunately

direct donations

Donating via Stripe is the best way to donate directly

contributing to the code

canvas is open-source and is on a self-hosted gitlab instance at https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas

at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits

Timelapses

i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that's also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)

Data

The database has all of the pixel placements, so it's possible to regenerate the log file, but that's currently not implemented (so nothing is lost) Format: {timestamp}\t{username}\t{action}\t{x}\t{y}\t{hex} (for the most part)

• Raw pixel log file (could be missing pixels due to crashes, i'm unable to confirm at time of writing) (47mb)
• Possibly patched pixel log file (contains the first 10ish minutes that got dropped from the raw file + an attempted patch, but could include duplicated pixels) (47mb)

chat.fediverse.events

This will stay up as long as i can keep it running for, i'll make some improvements eventually as well

tools (like a canvas atlas)

if anyone is wanting to build something for canvas, i'd be willing to host the project & give it a subdomain of .fediverse.events

just send me a matrix dm, a dm on discord (grahhnt) or an email [email protected]

Special thanks

thank you to the moderators that helped me this year, even with how stressful it was 🔨

and the contributors to the code once the event started: 💻

• Marius
• soda_cans

and thank you, once again, for participating this year, i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did 💜

i'm going to now go enjoy my 21st 🥳🎉

In case you haven't heard yet, the Canvas is a currently-ongoing collaborative art project on the Fediverse, akin to Reddit's r/place, where everyone gets a few pixels at a time to add to a shared canvas. It started on Friday and goes through Monday (ending midnight UTC on the 16th)

Last year, someone added a Hooty to the canvas (top center), and I think it would be nice to put The Owl House on the canvas again this year

Things are a little dense already, but there's still a decent few spots we can fit something in

Does anyone have any little pixel art pieces to suggest? We could copy the Hooty again or make something new
