I'll look into it.
206   richwicks   2022 Apr 23, 1:03pm  

I have a suggestion, I never see the "unread" part of a new post, because it's not noticeable. I want to suggest replacing:



with the following image to replace it:



That's the same image, cleaned up, in red although I got a little fancy with the "a" - I added a tail.

@SunnyvaleCA

The only way is to use the "forgot password" link. That will issue you a new random password.

I know people want to choose their passwords themselves, but from years in tech, I have learned that a fair number of people will use, say, their banking password. So then if patrick.net got hacked, it's possible that the hacker would get your banking password and your email address. Not good.

So not allowing password choice is a defense mechanism against that. I know it's not great, but I can't think of a better solution.


I used this mechanic of temp password in past, But Now I can set password.
Go to your profile and "type password" and it takes that password.

Thanks for the volunteer work @richwicks !

I uploaded it and am trying it out.

I think they work, except perhaps at the beginning of a line:

*bold*
_italic_

Made note to fix that.

Hi Pat, looks like uploading pics is busted for me.

Might have something to do with the underscores?

@AmericanKulak Yes, it was an underscore problem. Thanks for telling me.

Please try again, should work now.

216   Hircus   2022 May 10, 9:54pm  

I noticed some changes today.

1) When I click on my profile and then view my comments (https://patrick.net/comments?a=Hircus), they now start at my oldest comment, when it used to be my newest comment. I prefer the old behavior if this wasn't an intentional change.

2) When viewing my comment list, if I click the date/permalink link of a comment, in the past it would take me right to my comment, but not anymore. Some links give me an "invalid start number" error, like this one
https://patrick.net/post/1345054?start=2118#comment-1840720

Some other links worked and went to the right thread, but I ended up the wrong post.
217   Patrick   2022 May 10, 10:13pm  

Thanks @Hircus

1) and 2) are bugs. I will fix them tomorrow.

Can you tell me more about ending up on the wrong comment? (In my own terminology, a thread is a post.)
218   Hircus   2022 May 11, 12:00am  

You know I thought the link scrolled me down to the wrong comment in the thread, but I was mistaken - it just simply doesnt scroll to a comment at all. If the link doesnt give me the "invalid start number" error (most links give this error now), then it just doesnt scroll me down to any comments.

This link exhibits such behavior. It should take my to the last page where my comment is, and then also scroll me down to the comment, but doesnt. I see the first post in the thread, and then the first comment underneath it is 2116 out of 4485. No auto scrolling occurs.
https://patrick.net/post/1338647?start=2116#comment-1840406

I suppose this is because the url param start=2116 is wrong. The url should probably be start=4485 or something like that, to take me to the page where my comment is. I bet fixing the other bug fixes this too.
219   richwicks   2022 May 11, 4:23am  

@Patrick - where is your current code again?

You need a regression test system. I've made a few. I need to look at (and setup) your code to see how I approach it. As I recall, you're using nginx, mysql, and your code. I can short circuit the email system so I can simulate that.

Curl should be able to simulate user interaction. Verifying what it produces should yield the same results.

@Hircus your comments should start with the newest page of comments now.

This is also fixed in that if a url has a start comment number which is larger than the number of comments on that post, it just shows you the last page of comments instead of quitting with an error message.

Correct, the start param is wrong, because the page of comments which starts there does not contain the comment number in the hash tag.

Where did you get that url with the incompatible start and comment_id params? I should fix that if the url appeared on the site.
223   Patrick   2022 May 11, 11:34am  

richwicks says

I do have one, using mocha:

https://mochajs.org/?source=patrick.net

I have only basic tests for creating an account, logging in, creating a post and a comment, and a few other things like that.

I should create a few more, but:
1. I run them on every checkin to git, so I don't want them to take more than a few seconds.
2. I find that if my tests are too elaborate, I end up fixing tests all the time when I change the code, which is not productive.
224   Patrick   2022 May 11, 11:35am  

Oops, clicking on quotes is broken because the start param is null.

Will fix.

226   Patrick   2022 May 11, 12:49pm  

Thanks, fixed that now.

Still need to fix the link in a quote.
227   Patrick   2022 May 11, 12:59pm  

OK, the link in a new quote should work now.

I still have to go back and change the database so that previous quote links work.

BTW, you can now search a person's comments on their comments page, eg:

https://patrick.net/comments?a=Patrick
228   Patrick   2022 May 12, 2:27pm  

@HunterTits

I removed the link to search for comments with images, because it is really just a search and you can search a person's comments now. So you can still see all your tit pics like this:

https://patrick.net/comments?a=HunterTits&s=width+height&start=3210#last
229   Patrick   2022 May 12, 5:20pm  

@HunterTits I made the search start on the last page of result if you include -1 as the start param, for example:

https://patrick.net/comments?a=HunterTits&s=width+height&start=-1#last

That way you can always get to your last comment with an image even as the number of comments changes.

If you want to see the whole last page of comments and not just the very last one, leave off the #last like this:

https://patrick.net/comments?a=HunterTits&s=width+height&start=-1
230   Onvacation   2022 May 12, 5:43pm  

HunterTits says

It shows everything that has 'width' & 'height'..

Width and height, tits and ass, whatever.
231   Hircus   2022 May 16, 7:17pm  

@patrick bitchute videos dont have a link to the url like other videos do. example: https://patrick.net/post/1337984?start=324#comment-1842291
232   Patrick   2022 May 16, 8:15pm  

Thanks for telling me @Hircus

Should be fixed now, at least for input urls of the form https: //www.bit chute.com/embed/2xAdBjtpMRh1

(I put spaces it that so it would not show the video or create a clickable link.)

Please tell me about other things to fix. I'm on a roll lately, burning through my big list of patrick.net bugs.
233   Hircus   2022 May 24, 8:16pm  

@patrick this post was made today and didnt seem to show a link: https://patrick.net/post/1334038?start=239#comment-1844229
234   Patrick   2022 May 24, 10:27pm  

Thanks, dunno why.

I edited the comment and reposted the same bitchute link, and now it has an "original link" below it.
235   Patrick   2022 May 24, 11:05pm  

Wow, I can't register on patriots.win without the Google recaptcha spyware reporting back my details to Google/NSA.

To log in to Reddit also requires Google api spyware, so that's out too.

And I can't log in to Twitter because it demands a phone number, and that's a fuck no, never.

I'm kind of proud that none of that shit is on patrick.net, as anyone can verify.
236   Patrick   2022 May 25, 8:55am  

How would I do that for free, aside from Google Voice?

there got to be a way. there are millions of fake accounts there somehow. although i do wonder if twitter employees create those via their systems bypassing all verification.

I suspect that they do, either for their own personal reasons, or on CIA orders.
239   Blue   2022 May 26, 12:00am  

Not sure if someone requested. How about a tracking thread with newly uploaded at least non restricted images with a link to respective threads.
240   Patrick   2022 May 27, 2:08pm  

@Blue This is possible, but a bit complicated if you want images from both original posts (threads) and from comments.

It's pretty easy for just comments.
241   Blue   2022 May 27, 2:18pm  

I guess link to original images should be good enough. It’s one quick way to browse and visit threads.
242   Patrick   2022 May 27, 2:55pm  

You can find all the latest threads which have images or videos in the original post like this:

https://patrick.net/search?order=new&s=width%20height

They are just thumbnail images though. And blank for videos.

I suppose I could make them bigger.

@Blue Please tell me more about how you imagine this would look.

Would it just be a long list of images with links below them? Where would I put it on the site?

Thanks.
244   Blue   2022 Jun 1, 12:16am  

Patrick says

Yes. Create a thread something like, 'Picture2thread'. In case of s*x related images, I'd expect the thread name instead of the image, otherwise it might offend somebody.
