I'm working on a project that involves retrieving large (~2-8 GB) .zip files through HTTP and storing them for later processing. I've written a script that uses an API to lookup and generate URLs for a series of needed files, and then attempts to stream each file to storage using requests.get().iter_content.

The problem is, my connection isn't perfectly stable (and I'm running this on a laptop which sometimes goes to sleep). When the connection is interrupted, the transfer dies and I need to restart it.

What would be the best way to add a resume capacity to my file transfer? So that if the script stalls or the connection drops, it would be possible to resume the download from where it failed?

Immer wenn ich Leute treffe, die Linux für schwer installierbar halten und Windows so toll einfach, dann fange ich an, über die manuelle Konfiguration von AUTOEXEC.BAT und CONFIG.SYS unter Windows 3.11 zu schwärmen und merke dann plötzlich an den unwissenden Gesichtsausdrücken, wie alt ich doch bin. ;)

Hi everyone, I am new to Mastodon, so I'm still not very familiar with the whole thing, but I smell very good premises!

I am a (soon to be) Physics PhD student, and I'm interested to links Statistical Mechanics and biological evolution.
Other than this, I like to read (and sometimes write) about the links between technological advancement, such as machine learning or social networks and changes in our society and politics!

#introduction

@IntegralDuChemin It has relatively complete document compare to OpenBSD.

Fediverse Health Indicator (FHI) =

Number of instances / Number of accounts

Range 0 – 1. The closer to one, the better.

HT @IntegralDuChemin #FHI

@aral @IntegralDuChemin I think small instances are better than instances of one. Makes moderation easier than a free-for-all and minimizes administration costs. I'm talking hundreds or low thousands.
