You just keep on insulting other users personally.

Why do you do that?

Not going to talk about anyone directly. Because it's multiple users. Some of you cats beat a dead horse over and over and over. No one cares. If they did they'd address you and you'd just go back to the original bull shit you spewed out. Some of you are clearly not open to dialog even with actual proof you're wrong. It's extremely hard to have a conversation with some of you. No one here knows everything. Stop acting like you do. Grow up toddlers.

Get some help dude


Yeah. I said that about a year or two ago to him as well. Seriously.

If someone is making veiled threats such as “I know where you live (red flags: why even bother trying to figure that out?) but I’ll never use it against youl.” it is apparent this person has already suggested that they have considered it a possibility. That is why I think this person is either mentally ill or a paid FED agitator. Either way the site owner has the right to ban such an individual to protect the safety and the discourse of free speech from malevolent actors. Someone who consistently insults other users, makes veiled threats or just simply spam posts and attempts to drown out other voices by the sheer volume and tone of their posts has actually impeded others ability to share ideas. To defend speech sometimes you have to take away a person’s megaphone so that the smaller voices can be heard.

Also if the owner of the site allows people to make repeated insults and veiled threats, it becomes questionable if others should find it safe or expedient to continue to contribute here themselves.

Please everyone do use the flag link to mark comments that are obviously personal.

Patrick,

Could you add, below the comment box, a quick summary of the html tags and other formatting tags that you accept?
487   Stout   2024 May 31, 7:19am  

Could you use a more subtle watermark on memes? The big white banner on the bottom is a bit much.
488   Patrick   2024 May 31, 9:52am  

Thanks, I agree it's jarring if the meme background is dark.

I'm not great with graphics, but would like to make the banner the same general color as the meme to not stand out as much. I don't know how to do this yet.

@yawaraf

OK, did that. How can I make it prettier or more useful?
490   yawaraf   2024 May 31, 10:30am  

Thanks. I like it.

For visuals I might surround each tag with the angle brackets or separate the with commas.

Allowed html tags: <a> <b>
Allowed html tags: a, b, blockquote

Also add them to the edit comment page.

Use the title tag to show the user a short explanation when holding the mouse over it.

<span title="bold">b</span>

Clicking on the tag inserts it together with the closing tag, if necessary. If text is selected, then the tags are put around the text.

Bonus if you can somehow, for each tag, link a page that give a full description of the element. I wouldn't know how to do that without cluttering the page.

@Stout

OK, now I'll just print the "selected by patrick.net/memes" on the bottom of the image itself instead of adding a white banner. This text will sometimes get blurred by the image itself, but sometimes will work fine, eg:

You might want to make preparations to move PatNet to the dark web.
493   Patrick   2024 Jul 14, 8:59am  

I'll keep this site going one way or another.
494   DOGEWontAmountToShit   2024 Jul 31, 6:07pm  

Do we have a Completely Retarded Thread?

Not sure where to post this one:


495   Patrick   2024 Aug 12, 8:30pm  

Anyone want to try to embed a Tweet?

https://www.wikihow.com/Embed-a-Tweet


1. Go to X. Find a Tweet to embed on your site.
2. Click on the down arrow icon (v). Select Embed Tweet from the drop-down list.
3. Remove the media From the Tweet (optional), if desired. Uncheck the Include media checkbox to hide media (photos, GIFs, videos) which displayed alongside the Tweet.
4. Hide the original Tweet from a reply (optional). If the selected Tweet is a reply to another Tweet, you can hide the original Tweet by unchecking the "Include parent Tweet" checkbox.
5. Copy the HTML code from the pop-up screen. Paste into your blog or website.
6. Done. Now you can see the Tweet on your website!


If it doesn't work, please email me the HTML you pasted and I'll figure it out.

Shouldn't it look like this?


498   DOGEWontAmountToShit   2024 Aug 13, 7:39am  

I even got this while trying to post this comment:


499   Patrick   2024 Aug 13, 9:36am  

Thanks for letting me know. I guess I'm being too aggressive against the robots.

OK, now I allow 30 requests per minute instead of only 15.
500   FarmersWon   2024 Aug 13, 9:41am  

I think There should be atleast two tabs.
USA
WORLD

@patrick
People with international topic don't want to bore USA centric readers.

That's just your posts, for the most part.

Well, I am a 'power poster'. I can post per minute really fast. Probably faster than the bots.
503   Patrick   2024 Aug 13, 11:47am  

I'm actually a bit confused as to how nginx rate limiting works. Here are the relevant lines:

limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=ratelimit:10m rate=30r/m; # 30 requests per minute, to match robots.txt "Crawl-Delay: 2"
limit_req_status 429;
...
limit_req zone=ratelimit burst=10 nodelay; # commented out in dev, uncomment in prod!

I think I'm saying create a 10 mb memory area called "ratelimit" and limit each ip address to 30 requests per minute, but allowing up to 10 requests at once and not just delaying requests that exceed that 10 to match the rate limit.

"When the 'nodelay' parameter is set, requests that exceed the burst limit will be rejected immediately with a 503 Service Unavailable error, instead of being delayed."

@Patrick

For the link to the latest images, can you add the #footer param to it?

Because it is at the bottom of the last page of them where the actual latest image is.
505   Patrick   2024 Sep 5, 8:04pm  

@DemocratsAreTotallyFucked

Sure thing, done. Though I used #last because that's more consistent with how that image thread works. Oversight on my part not to have it there to begin with.

Cool! Just tested it. Works great.

@Patrick

Tried using the font size attribute here:

https://patrick.net/comment?comment_id=2118924

But it just gets stripped out.
508   Patrick   2024 Nov 18, 10:47am  

@DOGEWontAmountToShit

True, font size is not one of the allowed attributes:



The reason is that people could then make a post unreadable by making the font in a comment ultra-huge.

But with a bit of work, I could allow the size attribute and put a cap on it.

Ok.

Do you have what is allowed or not in any master list? If so, can you post that here?

It would be good to know before I try to use any of them.

On the other hand, could be a waste of time as I am one of few PatNetters who actually embeds HTML in his posts/comments.
510   Patrick   2024 Nov 18, 10:57am  

That is the master list. You can see which tags and which attributes are allowed.
