Faces of the Riot

#FacesOfTheRiot #SeditionHunters facesoftheriot.com is completed with a new UI, faster loading(no more loading 6,000 pictures at once), and a much easier way to view videos and face clusters! Small UI tweaks and quality of life improvements will continue throughout the week

@OcD60532172 Some will work, some wont. Our theory is that depending on the device used to record the video, some were encoded in h.265 and some in h.264. The Parler app, for some reason, did not store a version of each video transcoded to a standard format.

#FacesOfTheRiot We are aware that videos are not currently loading on our website and are working on resolving the issue.

@ParlerVideos @ColumboCaptain We only have faces from Parler, we will start working on that

@ColumboCaptain @RiotFaces, it would be cool, if one could search your page by Parler ID. Maybe I'm making the incorrect assumption, that you only have faces from Parler. Thanks.

@atwistedsystem @bakerta83021650 @capitolhunters @SeditionHunters We already store the frame the face came from in the filename, so converting that to minute and seconds will hopefully not be too difficult

For new #SeditionHunters - a reminder that standard hashtags and info on suspects is at the central database spreadsheet at link below. See "Instructions" for links to video archives and standardized location names. @seditionhunters #SeditionHunter #gid=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@KbLeecaster To watch the video, you will n Ed to download it to your phone or PC. Certain videos are not able to be played on any web browser, but we are working on fixing it.

@oingoboingo110 @22ColeRin Oh, we are aware of the encoding issue, and are working on encoding all videos to a playable format, but it takes a significant amount of time

#FacesOfTheRiot #SeditionHunters Possibly will be processing a lot more video this weekend, increasing our database size. facesoftheriot.com should also look much better when viewed on mobile devices.

@22ColeRin I am very confused, can you send a screenshot of what you see? Nothing should ask you to pay money on the site.

@RiotFaces Hi - I saw somewhere that if can right click or down load the video. I wanted to access the actual link, but it is not working. When I download & try to watch the video it is only audio. This comes up, but first something said I need to pay$0.99. Sorry I am a total novice

@cktcb @SeditionHunters Right now 5,400 pictures are displayed. 50 rows per page, 6 pictures per row, 18 pages of these photos. If it does not all display, reload with shift+f5 or try clearing your browser cache.

@RiotFaces @SeditionHunters I’ve tried it twice in the past few days it only shows me about 1,000 photos and that’s it. You sure you got 6,00”

@louweber Removed

@lukensmall With 50 rows per page and 6 pictures per row, on 18 pages, that's 5,400 images. The new clustering removed a lot of duplicates, so it's slightly less than 6000 now

#FacesOfTheRiot We are aware the current FBI tip line has expired, we will be updating to their general tip line shortly.

@ararouge2 @PlausibleHQ Thank you! Will check with our new host later to see about that. For now, no analytics

#FacesOfTheRiot #SeditionHunters We will likely be embedding google analytics in the website for analytics purposes (curious to see traffic and our new host recommends using google analytics). If there are significant complaints, we will remove it.

@patr10tic @kitchetech @bluehost @bluehostsupport @Shadowserver Our host says it appears to be pretty distributed, like a botnet

#FacesOfTheRiot #SeditionHunters @bluehost @bluehostsupport Well... thanks for the unlimited bandwidth. Videos are hosted with an external cdn, and bandwidth is currently less than 50gb per day.

@kitchetech @bluehost @bluehostsupport It was a ddos attack, our new host is much stronger and confirmed it is most likely a ddos attack. There is almost no way our website generated the claimed 14,000 requests per minute without an attack

@RiotFaces @bluehost @bluehostsupport Looks more like a non-bandwidth issue but a traffic issue. Which if lightsail crashed your gonna crash an aws instance
