3. **User Experience**: The website's design and navigation can feel outdated compared to more modern platforms, which may deter some users from fully engaging with the content.

The website's design is straightforward, streamlined, and very fast. It is a beacon of hope in a sea of bloated sites whose primary objective is to spew advertisements nonstop.

Thanks @SunnyvaleCA

I just wish the site were more popular, but not sure how to get the word out. Search engines won't recommend it anymore.

Patrick, wanna merge these two threads by timestamp?

https://patrick.net/post/619/2008-07-13-canada

https://patrick.net/post/1382776/2024-12-03-canada-thread

Since the first is oldest, it's post can be the one to merge into. But consider taking the Canadian flag image in the seconds post and putting it in the first as it stands out better in the PatNet feed.
619   Patrick   2025 Jul 19, 3:25pm  

@MolotovCocktail

OK, done. It was pretty easy. Maybe I should have a "request to merge threads" link somewhere on each thread.

Ok. @Patrick

Another thread amalgamation suggestion. This time it's on Demographics.

I propose this be the One Thread That Rules Them All: https://patrick.net/post/1346755/2022-07-22-demographics-thread

And these two be inserted in with entries cross-sorted by timestamp, then deleted:

https://patrick.net/post/1289455/2016-02-24-it-s-still-the-demography-stupid by @indigenous

And https://patrick.net/post/1381782/2024-08-01-asia-is-struggling-with-declining by @Ohomen171

unless those authors object?

I agree.

Done.
624   Patrick   2025 Aug 6, 5:21pm  

OK, done.
626   Patrick   2025 Aug 6, 8:02pm  

Done.

@Patrick,

Pat, Please consider renaming your thread "Expose Charlie's Murderers"
to simply "Charlie Kirk." At this point we need a more focused Charlie
Kirk thread. Thanks.

Might want to consider merging some of the CK threads, too.
629   Patrick   2025 Sep 21, 3:47pm  

@The_Deporable @MolotovCocktail

OK, done. Now there is one thread:

https://patrick.net/post/1385572/2025-09-10-charlie-kirk-thread
631   Patrick   2025 Sep 25, 11:12am  

OK, done.
633   Patrick   2025 Oct 1, 11:03am  

@MolotovCocktail

Done.

@Patrick
Are the email notifications working? Mine seem to have stopped.

Spamhaus is blocking patrick.net now, claiming that I'm a spammer, which I obviously am not.

I think someone reported it for political reasons.

You can all help by contacting them and telling them that patrick.net is not a spammer:

http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=137.184.228.18

I get this:


638   Patrick   2025 Oct 1, 12:29pm  

Look at the URL. Spamhaus is so fucked up that they redirect you to an invalid url instead of http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=137.184.228.18

So after hitting then go back and put that url in again. Maybe that will help.


Mail from IP 137.184.228.18 was rejected due
to listing in Spamhaus SBL. For details please see
http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=137.184.228.18
639   Patrick   2025 Oct 1, 12:32pm  

Or maybe just go to https://www.spamhaus.org/ and put in 137.184.228.18 or patrick.net
640   MolotovCocktail   2025 Oct 3, 2:15am  

I am getting 429 errors a lot now.
641   Patrick   2025 Oct 3, 9:05am  

@MolotovCocktail

Thanks for telling me. I set the rate limit to one request every 2 seconds instead of every 4 seconds. That should help. The server is no longer being attacked so it seems safe.

Attempting to amalgamate all the China threads.

Which is proving to be difficult to curate. I am trying to pick those about China generically vs those particular about something happening in/with China involving others.

Turns out not to be that cut & dry.

Here's a few I've picked of the former category or close to it.

https://patrick.net/post/1377770/2022-11-24-meanwhile-in-china

https://patrick.net/post/1323556/2019-03-30-china-s-plan-to-be-only-superpower-by

https://patrick.net/post/1384483/2025-05-07-fuck-china-thread

https://patrick.net/post/1383268/2025-01-19-china-vs-us-gdp-discrepancy

https://patrick.net/post/1384345/2025-04-23-chinese-girlbosses-hitting-the-wall

https://patrick.net/post/1379981/2023-08-20-china-s-economy-is-showing-signs-of

And this is the new master China thread:

643   Patrick   2025 Oct 6, 1:44pm  

@MolotovCocktail

I'm going to make a function for me to use to do this easily. Too much typing into the db otherwise. Maybe I can make that tonight.
645   Patrick   2025 Oct 7, 7:09pm  

OK, done.
646   MolotovCocktail   2025 Oct 8, 9:29am

OK, done.


Wow! Lots of comments got merged. 1,446 for Globull Warming alone.
647   Patrick   2025 Oct 12, 2:32pm  

Should I have "edit profile" and "logout" permanently on the page somewhere when you're logged in, or just leave it as it is where you need to click on your own name or icon to see them in the upper right?

I could have them both in the header, but maybe that's a bit crowded. Or in the footer.

Jut leave it as it is, please.

All, I am looking for a new, down to earth email address. Any suggestions? I am giving up on Yahoo and Google emails - they are preventing access to my email. Thanks.

@The_Deplorable

I agree, https://proton.me/mail is good, free, and seems pretty private.
654   Patrick   2025 Oct 22, 10:25am  

OK, done.
