For the record, I was mostly kidding.
Especially about 1 post per page.
Why isn't there a "Print This Thread" feature though?
Most forums have it.
But I guess on a website with as much controversial discussion as this one, maybe people shouldn't be walking around with printed copies of what goes on here. -

I should have known better, but I let muh feels get in the way. I've been to a child's funeral. They're rough.
At least the kid is ok. Though, how ok can a kid be if she comes from a man that uses her as the punchline of his shitposting? She'll be ok, but not just ok. I mean, she has his genes. If she's really unlucky, she'll have a son just like him. -

The good thing is that Bill Krozby has absolutely no hand in raising his child
so the chances of her or her offspring growing up like him are slim
Seriously though how utterly fucked is it to joke about this kind of thing. I don't even have a kid and I wouldn't do it. I don't know if you remember hamp, but when I was like 19 or something I made a joke about your son to you and it didn't fly well. I didn't get it then why it bothered you, but I get it now, and I still think about it from time to time. You gotta have respect for kids.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

The main reason is that requesting the "printable" version of a thread like TRT means pushing a non-trivial fraction of the database over the wire. That's a fat DoS target in an era where you'd have to be cupocheer level old/retarded to want to print out a full "niggas in space" thread.

Makes sense.
I used to... actually, still do sometimes... use "Print Thread" to save a copy and archive it somewhere locally if it was either:
A. Nostalgia worthy (hence i have a lot of Totse threads saved, even way back before the "Print Thread" option was available).
B. Educationally worth referencing in the future (I would do this on a lot of different forums, usually topical ones like bluelight and other drug-related forums).
Although, quite frankly, I now see every unfamiliarly formatted website as a Beautiful Soup exercise.
But yeah, really long threads might be taxing on the system.
You should convert it all to a RESTful API that serves up JSON.
(I say it like it's a simple as flipping a lightswitch...).
But that is where most mainstream social media type websites are heading.
I don't know for sure if it cuts down on overhead, but serving everything as JSON seems to work for a lot of places...
It could be like:
badideas_subforum.json:
[
{thread_title: "How to make bombs", content: "Instructions on how to make big explosions follow....", replies: [
{poster: "The Mad Bomber", content: "All you need is like ammonia and bleach...", timestamp: "right_now", thanks: [userpk_1, userpk_2]}],
{thread_title: "How do I steal cars?", content: "I need to know how I can steal a BMW tonight.", replies: [
{poster: "carthief420", content: "That's dumb. Huff raid.", timestamp: "right_now", thanks: [userpk_1, userpk_2]}]
] -
2018-12-15 at 9 AM UTCThat might not be perfect JSON schema, but you get the idea, I'm sure.
-
2018-12-15 at 9:03 AM UTCAlso, Lanny (and why I'm choosing this particular thread of all threads to communicate this, who knows - alcohol may be involved)... Just wondering, is hosting NIS any kind of financial burden whatsoever?
A lot of websites beg for donations and all that, but I see no such requests floating around.
Like, do you end up having to pay any money out of your own pocket for hosting? -

Yeah, I've considered doing some kind of structured downloadable archive style thing. It'd be a nice feature but I'd have to set up a cron job or something and I don't think there's probably a ton of interest in something like that. If you want to open a PR for a management command or something to dump archives (only the publicly accessible parts of course) I'd set up a job to drop that into a statics folder once a week or something.You should convert it all to a RESTful API that serves up JSON.

A lot of sites do do that, but usually they make serverside provide the "REST" API and then drop all the rendering on the client. Part of the site design goals were that it should work with javascript disabled, so I can't just hand it off to the client. I'd have to support the API in parallel to the user facing part of it.

Yeah, there's no revenue so all the hosting costs are covered out of pocket. But then the cost of hosting it is pretty low, I think I posted a more detailed breakdown in another thread somewhere in T&T but it's less than $30/mo and I could probably get away with something cheaper. I don't want to do ads, I don't want to have to look at ads and I don't even really think the ads would produce significant income. Asking people for money doesn't seem like it would yield a lot. Ultimately every totse descendant boiled down to the admin covering costs, expecting to turn a profit on this kind of thing is unproductive. I can either pay all of the small hosting costs or pay most of the hosting costs and have to worry about fund raising schemes. It's worth the small amount of money it costs to not have pass the donation pan around this band of cunts.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I've kinda gone over the ISS repo a bit, just kinda getting to know it a little.
I might actually fork it though and, at first, play around a bit with a local deployment, then who knows where it might go.
I might get some ideas, some maybe even worth a PR.

$30 ain't too bad, I pay about that, plus a bit more, for Digitial Ocean 'droplets' and AWS EC2 instances just for fucking around with.
But I wanted to know in case it was some outlandish cost or something.
You're doing the Lord's work by carrying on the Totse spirit.
Maybe I'll find some way to contribute project-wise after playing around in the code for a bit.
And if financially it ever starts getting out of control or anything, don't be too humble to mention it.
I see people insult you in all kinds of ways, but you keep on truckin'. Aside from the word enhancements, you seem to be a pretty objective, fair, reasonable individual (and even the word enhancements aren't so bad, some even entertaining - I'll never forget the first time I discovered them when I was trying to convince somebody suicidal not to kill themselves... I hadn't even realized I called them a "faggot" in the first few words of my emotional pleas).
So yeah, if for what ever reason we get a sudden spike in traffic and costs start spinning out of control, let us know, or even just let me know privately, and I'll help you out. -

But, I DO think making this thread was in very very poor taste. His daughter isn’t dead, and the fact that he can use his daughter’s life to troll us is sickening. His mind is fucked up to think this was funny. He deserves abuse, I didn’t say he deserved his PI to be posted. He’s taking plenty of abuse without his PI being posted.
Don’t be trolled guys. SHE DIDNT DIE!
You forgot pics of you and your hubby. -
