I'll try with apgsearch

if I may, it do have a lot of "table", could we name it after that?

just for curiosity, how do you check the 'finding' ? by scrutinize every haul manually?

Do any stable patterns (likely still lifes, but there can be oscillating components) scan as a QR code?


not feasible in B3/S23
normally QR code has corner components like this, it would grow and broke

Say the enumeration will yield 10,001 soups containing 25 single object each, and I set 10000 as the number of soups per haul, then the last 25 objects in the last soup will fail to be uploaded.

Suppose I'm piping the output RLE's from an external program to apgsearch with the separator "|".

Welcome to the forum, (though you are much earlier contributing Catagolue search than me.)(2019.12 vs 2020.6)

There has a trick to display all discovery date and username. just replace object with attribute in url.
