@Tsaukpaetra So DaaSDoS, Discourse as a Self-Denial of Service?

@MathNerdCNU said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
Discourse as a Self-Denial of Service
Sound superfluous. Everyone who uses Discourse as a support forum is denying their customers adequate service already.

@Lorne-Kates said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
But the act of sending out bulk PMs should not, in of itself, be dangerous.
It's probably not, but likely it is that discourse is processing each PM individually (including seeing if that user is online to send them a notification) and hitting an execution timeout limit.
…and you just know it's gonna be h
iturting the database in an "unconventional" manner to do it.

New error. Doesn't tell the user why, just offers some suggestions.
Sorry, we couldn't invite that person. Perhaps they have already been invited? (Invites are rate limited)

If you have SSO enabled, invites are no longer possible as they would bypass SSO authentication.
...huh? Do DiscoInvites let you post without registering? If so, isn't bypassing the OpenID auth exactly what they should be doing?

@izzion is up with that line noise that shows up below Discourse.PRO's posts?
The «/c/<category-name>/l/latest?page=1» pages should not be in SERP
-
@boomzilla That's a topic that links to that post. It was moved from the gutter now that space is wasted differently.

It looks a lot like a signature to me.

I'd certainly advise against inserting anything into PMS. Unless you're both into that kind of things.

https://meta.discourse.org/t/good-way-to-go-back-feature-after-hitting-jump-to-the-quoted-post/45633
Was basically a nothingburger that His WTFiness stopped responding to after a few posts of the OP
And then it got revived yesterday, someone tried to help with confusion, and Full Jeff occurred...
So, I'd like to have a quick way to jump back to where I was if I use the "jump to quoted post" to navigate within a thread
That sounds like a good extension of the "Back" feature
WTF, mate? If you've been at the end of a Harry Potter book, you'd never ever want to go to a bookmark in the middle ever again. How dare you question Discourse's amazingness????!!!!11eleven

The real reason Jeff works for his own business - he'd be fired within a week if he was a system admin in
a large enterprisea sane business environment:
I mean, seriously? I trust my co-workers and all, but I'm not giving them all Domain Administrator.

... wow it's even worse how he actually said it.
Well, they will need to learn that once you have read a book to the end, that is how it works.
Actually Jeff, here's how it works when you read a book: you stick your finger in a spot, flip back and forth, and then come back to wherever you stuck your finger. Amazingly, this even works if you've read the book in its entirety, or even if you only just told it that you had read the whole thing.
I'd like to re-read one again
That is an argument for "reset my read state in this topic" which strikes me as quite an advanced thing to need.
a) no not really
b) it strikes me as something that isn't very advanced, that many forums provide, and that should be much easier to implement than importing issues from Github.But that's just my unwanted two cents of common sense.
-
@pydsigner said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
unwanted ... common sense.
Yes, that has been demonstrated time and again.
-
That doesn't make any sense. If you have read to the bottom you have already read every post
WRONG. What infuriated me about Discourse's read tracking is that once you enter a long topic at the bottom - say, because someone linked to the bottom-most post in another thread - all those nice unread counters just went and fucked themselves. You wanted to see all the funny stuff in the Funny Stuff Thread, but have a 300-post backlog? Fuck you, either you go out of your way to consciously avoid any links to that thread, or have fun finding your actual position by watching where the blue dots stop appearing.
It's like if you were reading the Bible, and the pastor told you to read a verse from Matthew, only for Jeff Atwood to come over and rip out the entire Old Testament.

With DiscoTracking of every single post read, it very well might be.

To be fair, NodeBB does the same thing, which is why I avoid actually clicking Has Replied notifications and instead go and find the topic from the list and enter it that way (working my way down to the actual reply).

Yes, but as far as I know NodeBB only tracks your last read post, so at least they have some excuse. Discourse happily wastes gigabytes of disk space tracking every single read post in every single topic for every single user, only to then completely discard that information.

@izzion Forums are not motherfucking books. Wtf.

@aliceif Also, yes.
-
@aliceif Is that because books have pages?

Don't forget, they also track how many milliseconds every single user has spent looking at every single post in every single topic. That's gonna be really useful in some hypothetical universe.

They are going to sell the technology as a way to do in-depth user engagement metrics for marketing firms.
In reality, it will be implemented to automatically rate boobs on
pornsites.

Good news! The test run of the technology on WTDWTF forums has concluded that you are, in fact, a boob!

I have to believe that most discoforums have tiny topics and so the obvious use of this tracking to find what you skipped just isn't a big deal for them. Also, it obviously isn't how reads a forum so it's .

@Jaloopa are you some kind of monster?

@Onyx I shouldn't be giving Jeff ideas should I?
There are 12 boobs on this page. That's uncivilised! The limit is 7

unfortunately boobs are rate limited because Jeff is an Assmen

We will build a database. It will be a great database. It will have indexes, more indexes than you've ever seen, and we will make forums great again.
