>uses python

it's shit

the only good imageboard engines are written in bare metal assembly

>>944783

So, nothing? :^)

>>944783

It runs better than php

Anyone else getting a 502 bad gateway response?

>>944820

My VPS can't handle all the stuff contained in it, so Blazechan dies from time to time. I restarted it, should work now.

>>944829

thanks

>Not using dietchan, written in 9000 lines of pure C.

https://gitgud.io/zuse/dietchan

Des it have users yet?

I just added an install script to Blazechan. It currently only works for Debian/Ubuntu because I need to look up package names for other distros, but that should be fixed fairly quickly.

>>944860

It hasn't really been announced anywhere yet, so not that I know of. It's still not complete, but I'm working on it after a few months of necessary break.

kek, you couldn't even make a front-end for mewch.

What makes you think you are anywhere capable of making a whole engine?

>>944862

>>944863

The frontend is done, but had some issues. Mega rolled it early before enough testing was done. We'll put the frontend back after I fix the issues and it's tested.

>>944865

>done

Do you even know what "done" means?

>>944866

>no hiding

Just don't create shit threads

>no favourite boards

What are bookmarks?

>no thread watching

Just keep the tab open.

>extra menu can't use js

what?

Do you even know that you are a faggot?

>>944872

It's Stephen.

>>944866

>features that can be done but I don't have time for yet

<not done

Sergio, unlike what you believe not everyone cares about shit you autistically care about. Do you really want to go down this path? Do you really want me to spill the beans about your [code] tags "fix"?

>>944874

>muh code tags

>calls other people autistic

>>944872

Stephen Lynx? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

>>944866

Also,

>no thread hiding

Filters exist, you can put the post content in it for the timebeing

>extra menu can't use js

Do you wanna know how I know you're Sergio? You suck badly at naming shit. For example, the above statement makes no sense.

>>944783

working on the logo as we speak

>>944875

Oh seems like you want to go then.

https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan/blob/master/src/be/engine/postingOps/common.js#L404-407 here, you can see that he's replacing [code] and [ /code] with <code> and </code>. Notice how he doesn't check at all whether two [code] [ /code] tags match. Of course this creates a problem: if you only post [code], then the rest of the page will be monospace.

And here's our golden boy Stephen's fix:

https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan/commit/b955483cf80b79ff245d1d77b5f9c17962375a96

>in domManipulator, where pages are rendered

>not in markdown engine where the actual fix should be

>has to bend over backwards with a retarded algorithm just to close code tags

Not only does this reduce one's understanding of code, it also makes it harder to fix things down the line. This is the same engine which is supposed to be "an example to future imageboard developers" (his words, not mine).

>>944882

And here you go sperging out about shit you don't even understand. I told you before, you don't even know why it doesn't matter if the tags are checked when posting. But I know you are physically unable to listen anyway, so keep on spergin'.

>>944882

wow. that is cs grad meme tier

>>944885

Please do enlighten us, o great Sergio, because as far I can see, it does matter apparently, since it needs a fix.

>>944888

When you render a page, you might render it in a way that will take only PART of the post, because on board pages you cut the text. So only after you do that you can check what is matched or not.

>>944885

lmao

>>944890

That's a shitty justification. This would happen with any tag, and in fact it happens here (not sure if it's fixed) when a greentext is cut off. Why not check for all opening tags and close then recursively then? Why monkeypatch?

>>944894

Because no other tag will cause issues if unmatched.

>>944895

So apparently <code> isn't a tag?

And this still doesn't change the fact that the fix is shitty, and should be done properly.

>>944897

>done properly

Sorry, but I don't have the time to get a stamp from the central office of Your Personal Autism.

>>944898

>this shitty meme again

You're more stubborn than a goat. I'm done with you.

Also, since thread watching and favorite boards were requested by no one but you, I won't do it. If more people want it, I'll do it.

:^)

>>944915

True. It's all PHP, JS, Python, all trash.

When I try to create a new board, I get Server Error (500).

>>944854

Your commit list. Now.

didn't think so, faggot

>>945368

Thanks, will look into it.

>>945368

Are you Williamunaxy? You can log in to make a new board, I should check if a user exists before trying to create one.

Blazechan is currently undergoing a major refactor. This moves the non-datasource code into a new app, engine/, and also moves the frontend views and non-template code into the same app, effectively integrating the core of Blazechan closer together. This allows both backend and frontend to be easily replacable. The backend will implement a (currently in development) contract, which will allow you to use any backend you wish. For instance:

- NTTP/Overchan backend for Changolia

- Lynxchan database used as a Blazechan backend (with a shim)

- Vichan/Infinity backend with a shim

- Maybe something even more interesting

Additionally, extensions will now have a SQLite database that they will use to store their models. This is because since the data source is now agnostic you can't rely on a persistent database's existence (the backend may very well be a flat text file).

Please bare with me while I'm refactoring. No features will be implemented while the refactor is happening, but after that new features will be easier because the engine is more consistent.

>>945368

Should be fixed. Can you try?

>Decentralization

Please elaborate. You're using NTTPchan? ActivityPub? Diaspora? Zot? A custom protocol?

>>946354

Read >>946340. I probably didn't include enough details in the OP, hence the confusion. My plan is to allow decentralization through pluggable backend so the data source can be distributed/federated.

I tried following the installation guide and got stuck at

>>> from panel.views.create import create_board
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'panel'
>>> 

>>946530

fixed this by stealing the right command from the install script, but now I'm stuck here

The instructions are now outdated since the frontend and panel merged. Are you using a different distro from Debian? If not, the install script should help you. I should add package names for other distributions soon.

>>946542

Looks like the server booted properly, you have nothing to worry about. You need to put it in a GNU screen (screen -S blaze), start it, and when the daphne output stops you can exit the screen using C-a C-d. When you want to come back just do screen -r b (any prefix works).

>>946556

How long should I be waiting for? Minutes?

It never proceeds past

That means it already started and you don't have to do anything, just exit the screen. You can now configure/start nginx and it should work.

>>946562

Is frontend/static/vendor supposed to have nothing in it?

>>946571

Yes, since vendor files are now pulled by django-npm automatically when you do ./manage.py collectstatic.

>>944859

>Dietlibc

Into the trash it goes.

Someone port it to glibc

I like the logo.

I'm halfway through defining the interfaces the backend will implement. There is a small problem, though: zope.interface (the interface library I'm using can't distinguish static methods from normal methods, but you can work around it by using @classmethod and making the first argument _ or something. If more issues arise, I'll switch to using native ABCs.

Other than that, I'm going through the entire codebase of Blazechan to find places where I used the queryset API and replacing them with functions, and boy is it tedious. But for s good cause. Hopefully I don't get too burnt out so I can finish it.

>>946765

Is this ./manage.py runserver or nginx? Did you do ./manage.py collectstatic?

>>946765

I did ./manage.py collectstatic, and this is nginx

$ ls /srv/http/static/
channels  css  debug_toolbar  img  js  rest_framework  vendor

CACHE does not exist for whatever reason

>>946770

Hmm... Did you setup the static dir in .env correctly?

>>946771

STATIC_ROOT="/srv/http/static/"

>>946772

It's weird that it's not generating. Can you post your complete .env (you can omit the DB stuff and the secret key)? Also, can you do "redis-cli" then "keys *compressor*" and post the output of that?

>>946774

Can you check storage/log.err just to make sure? Maybe there's some indicator there.

>>946776

can you try copying one of those keys and trying to get its contents with "get (key name)"? It should be a bunch of \xYY and something like <link rel="stylesheet" href="blabla" />

This is certainly an enigma. Do you mind joining #nextchan on irc.rizon.org so we can figure this out?

>still shilling this vaporware

Sorry for the long absence. My day job started taking a long part of my day, and also I worked on some other project with some guys. I moved almost all the code into the 'engine' app, leaving 'backend' with the models and migrations only (migrations will be an implementation detail later on) and the frontend with templates only. I'm currently spec-ing out the backend contract that the backend needs to implement to talk to the engine. Let's hope this goes through... (Post body too long, here's the current draft of the spec: https://nextchan.org/.static/backend-contract.txt)

Mind you, it's still very incomplete because I'm generating the specs as I read through and adjust the code, but now that I have more free time I hope to bring things back on track. Only the views are left to do the raw Django ORM -> backend contract calls conversion, and then after that I'll be checking the templates for what members are needed.

Also, I thought about it a little, and not all backends that Blazechan plans to support supports all the features of a centralized data-source. So, I'll be implementing some way for the backend to tell the engine what features it has and what it's missing, and the engine can optionally turn off some features if the backend doesn't support it.

And finally, I decided to drop the zope.interface library for implementing the contracts because it's too complex and unnecessary for what I need. I'll be using simple base classes.

That's all for now, stay tuned.

>>954463

>>950413

I remember the first blazechan thread you made and have been following this since. Good job man it's amazing to see this grow as a project

>>944760 (OP)

before I consider using your engine I need to know what's your opinion on the jews

>>955572

The more I argued with them the more I learned their dialectic. At first they calculated on the stupidity of their adversary.

Then, when they could find no other way out, they played stupid themselves. ...Whenever you attacked one of the

apostles, your hand closed around slimy matter which immediately separated and slipped through the fingers and the

next moment reconstituted itself. If you struck such an annihilating blow that, observed by the audience, he had no

choice but to agree with you, and thus you thought you had taken one step forward, the next day your amazement would

be great. The Jew knew nothing at all about yesterday and repeated his same old twaddle as though nothing had

happened; if you angrily challenged him on this, he could not remember a thing other than he had demonstrated the

correctness of his assertions on the previous day.

Many times I stood there astonished.

I didn’t know what to be more amazed at: their verbal agility or their art in lying.

Gradually, I began to hate them.

>>944783

But what architecture?

>>956055

Your own.

Physical assembly, not some bullshit abstraction.

/tech/ INSERTS BITS ONE BY ONE MANUALLY

>Python

Oof

>>957043

What's a good language to master? Javascript?

Things we need:

1. Archives for boards (for GG, IOTBW, HWNDU and other /pol/ ops)

2. Thread migration (e.g. Move specific threads from /tech/ to /emacs/ or /lv/)

3. temporary IPFS mirroring API (for those who wants to quickly share images, /pdfs/ and /webm/)

4. Metaboards and other ways of viewing selective categories of threads

5. invidio.us and other video embed support, ebook/video/audio support, imgops.com support

6. Admin/Moderation account control, 2FA support with Email, Phone or Matrix account

7. "Friend Board", "Catalog" and "News" poster bar support

8. Competitive board thread count distribution ("Less traffic the board gets, the less thread it can have")

>>957766

> "Friend Board", "Catalog" and "News" poster bar support

> "Friend Board"

What did he mean by this?

i think the most important thing to do is to make captcha work again or add some sort anti-spam

the spam on the site is starting to ramp up

>>957766

also, this is more "things i want" than "things we need"

i think point 8 is the worst thing in your list, that's not how imageboards (should) work at all, they would just be limiting a certain board

but in the end, it's up to m712 to do add this to blazechan

nextchan.org is down.

>>958159

Sorry, there is currently a memory leak in the channels layer which I have yet to fix, which means that every now and then it crashes. I'll investigate it thoroughly after the rewrite finishes.

Also, update on the rewrite, I decided to scrap the migration stuff, since literally no site uses it except Nextchan right now. I'll just migrate the site manually once it's done.

>>957466

Javascript may be even shittier than Python, but it has multiple working JITs, at least. The Python devs aren't giving a single fuck about performances.

>>958885

>9 years in development

Dude... what took you so long?

>>959006

>but it has multiple working JITs

>>944783

Assembly? Plebian. If you can't convert op codes to hex and maintain a list of dynamic memory references in your head while you hand assemble, why do you even bother to get up in the morning?

>>959021

Probably some very frequent masturbation.

>>959075

I laughed a lot harder at this than I should have

decentralization, like no-js, is a meme

Bump. Posting is almost working, however I will refactor it to make it simpler, which should speed things up. Panel is fully working. Once moderation tools are up, I think the rewrite is complete.

Welp I disappeared again. I moved to another city but didn't get my computer shipped from home yet, waiting on that. Hopefully this week I'll be getting it. The rewrite is complete, I'm still in the process of improving things.

this website hardly has enough people why would we want to split up the userbase more

>>967805

This anon is correct. We should kill projects other than vichan if possible, since vichan is the original code and nothing superior to it can be made.
