Good morning everybody. Its almost 8am and im drinking a pot of coffee to wake up. I used to drink single malt whisky to wake up in the morning, but quit cold turkey in 2017 after my doctor said I had to quit due to deteriorating liver function.

Yeah thats a cool format and good job detailing my changes the past few days. However Im pretty adamant about not bringing back /sudo/ at the moment. The biggest problem is that the changelog was previously such a pain in the ass to remember to update, and if i forgot for a few days everybody thought the site was dead. I much prefer this conversational style over changelog style.

Embedding images is something I have thought about for a long time because it could theoretically allow tor users to embed images when they make threads through tor. At the moment though, tor users can only make new threads by embedding videos.

It is technically smaller, but I admit not a whole lot smaller. I really like the purple color though.

I didnt fix it yet. I just identified the problem. I am working on fixing it now, but it requires a lot of code rewrite. It will take at least until Monday or maybe even Tuesday/Wednesday to finish properly. The "problem" is that the posting js is fetching every thread and reparsing it every time you post. The "fix" is to switch the posting function to fetch the json instead. Its a pretty big rewrite though because the code is so old. Right now when it says "Posted...", it is actually re-downloading the whole thread (including image thumbnails), reparsing it, and then appending the new posts to the bottom. Thats why small threads never have the "Posted..." bug, but big threads almost always have the bug. Switching the posting js to use json means you dont need to redownload thumbnails and all the extra stuff every time you post reply. It should fix the bug and make posting faster.

Is the hide post function broken for you? It works for me and I dont use ublock origin.

Many Japanese men eat fermented soy beans nattou for breakfast, tofu for lunch, and fish with soy sauce for dinner.

That twitter account is still in use, but just have to be very very careful with it.

Probably vanwatech's caching system. It requires a refresh or two of the page before it updates the cache. If you notice a page not refreshing, just click F5 a few times and it should work. Ive asked vanwatech to send an API that I can use to tell it which pages are updated, but they havent sent one yet. Cloudflare had that api before.

I used to drink Caol Ila 12, it was reasonably priced at around 30 dollars a bottle. Underrated gem of a whisky. Cheapish, sweet and a good amount of peat and smoke. 10/10 would recommend for any alcoholic who wants to daily drink whisky and not go broke.

Of course I had some "nice" bottles too. Drank a lot of Yamazaki 12 before it won that stupid award and became impossible to buy.

Best bottle I ever drank was when a friend once gave me a limited edition Yamazaki 25. He went to the Yamazaki factory in Japan and stood in line to buy one of just a few bottles available that year then gave it to me. Super expensive - I think more than a thousand dollars a bottle retail at that time (currently at like 10,000 dollars a bottle on grey market). I shared it with the 8chan programming team not including fred over nice cuban cigars around Christmas in 2015 or 2016.

Also we are not smokers, so a lot of time was spent fumbling the cuban cigars to figure out how to even smoke them. Woke up the next morning and the first thing that came to my mind was, "I need another cuban cigar". Figured that was the first step towards a tobacco addiction so cut myself off immediately and havent touched tobacco since.

Its not like I uninvited him, I just didnt even tell him about it. Probably the first he has heard of that event is here in this thread.

If my memory is correct, I was designing/programming the first version of alacrity together with ken/ryu in my apartment and my neighbor showed up with cuban cigars as a Christmas present. I brought out that bottle of whisky and we hung out on the deck for a few hours smoking cubans and drinking 25yo limited edition yamazaki. That must have been Christmas 2015 because we ended up launching alacrity around January 2016.

So today I fixed the announcements system, and migrated a few more boards.

Still working on the JS posting rewrite. ETA monday.

Also brainstorming a new "thread discovery system", more details in a bit.

Shoveling is my outside hobby/exercise. Some people play football, others ride bikes. I shovel. The sense of accomplishment when you pull a 150 pound boulder out of the ground with nothing but a pickaxe, a shovel, and your bare hands, then carry it across your yard and drop it into your rock pile is exhilarating.

Making good progress on the JS posting rewrite. Everything working now from JSON except the image paths. Maybe can finish it up tomorrow and put it live. Should get good posting speed gains from this rewrite.
