/next/ - Infinity Next

Okay, I get it, the catalog looks bad. It hasn't changed in 3 fucking months.

>>2250

Then you should probably fucking change it.

>>2251

Got a lotta other shit to do buddy before playing with stylesheets becomes an option.

>>2190

I'd like an answer on this too.

Randomised boards of the week with some sort of requirement to have at least 1pph?

>>2211

>Giving visibility to small boards is huge to me

It was tried by hiding the top 20 boards but that only hurt everyone.

I'd certainly like to see some new way for the smaller boards to get some advertising.

>>2227

>If you're talking about Infinity Next's captcha, be aware it only requires 1 per hour or per 10 posts. We will lift this to probably 1 per day or per 100 posts. I also have an idea of doing it 1 per week or per 100 posts PER BOARD, so if you post on /v/ you'll only need to bust the turing test once, but if you post on /b/ and /pol/ you'll do it 2 more times.

Sounds good to me. 1 per week would be perfect but it might be a little too lenient.

>>2249

If it's going to stay it needs to have a limit on how far it will extend certainly.

>>2252

As long as the feedback is taken onboard it's all good.

It's a lot less fun when /v/ aren't going crazy.

>>2252

Hey Josh, have you read about IPFS? I'm wondering if you will try to implement it once it hits version 0.4.0. It'll be a great way to reduce bandwidth costs, DDoS attacks and even drop CloudFlare since it would be unnecessary.

>>2241

He's right, it really was a stupid thread. I don't even agree with all the decisions made with NEXT but come on.

>>2258

0.4.0 is going to hit far sooner than NEXT is stable, it probably wouldn't be smart to sidetrack NEXT development in such a fundamental way at this stage.

Also, I don't think IPFS will actually be a valid option until ipfs.js and the pub/sub systems are done.

>>2265

Check out >>2267

>>2256

I already answered it.

And Adventure mode does exactly what you're asking for. Try it. Use the website before asking questions and for features.

>>2269

>Use the website before asking questions and for features

Never.

I tried it so fair enough. Some option for a poster to choose to hide the rocket would be nice but optional.

>>2271

Though I might include something on the homepage explaining what it is and what it does (and pointing to the button).

>>2268

Captcha on every post should be standard.

moot was right about that.

minor inconvenience for big reward.

I'm concerned about the security and privacy of users. If 8chan was compromised, could user's IP addresses be vulnerable?

If InfinityNext more secure or less secure than what we have now, or is there no difference?

I like the "recent posts" feature because it helps smaller boards. I do wonder how "worksafe" the images will be, though.

>>2227

>The ad placeholders just exist as placeholders and don't indicate what Jim and copy will want, only what the design is templated to support.

Thank you for explaining.

> My idea with this is that cp spammers try to do 1 thread per board for max exposure, so this will inconvenience them the most while not troubling the average anon much at all.

That's good to know; knowing the circumstances and the reasoning is good, because it's tweaked to be as unobtrusive as it can be while still stopping spam.

I do hope that the final version only shows the box when it the captcha needs to be solved.

>>2287

It's part of CloudFlare's DDoS protection.

>>2288 (Checked)

Weird; I've never seen it before.

It looks like the file size limit rules have changed, which I like.

I worry about DMCA requests, though. If 8chan keeps user IP addresses, users could have their information shared.

Since changing IP retention policy after the fact is more difficult (anons paying attention to the TPP might share my concerns) I'd prefer that the default be to save only ip hashes.

My concern is that anons posting content that violates no copyrights could still end up with their IP addresses being shared.

>>2286

Maybe limit recent posts to SFW boards?

Of course most boards are nsfw and the BOs may not enforce it anyway.

>>2294

That could work. Or at least have it as an option.

Spoilered images should also be omitted.

If nothing else, it might be an incentive for small sfw boards to tag themselves as such.

Is whoever is in charge of /kappa/ posting their css anywhere?

I can only find the one posted on infinitechan twitter which is an older version. Figured I'd ask here since you're more likely to know than anyone else.

>>2297

You'd have to enforce the removal of the SFW tag on NSFW boards but I suppose that isn't a huge negative all considered.

That or make it possible to blacklist a small board that is incorrectly labelled sfw from the recent posts system.

>>2032

Le remède au chaos n'est pas dans ce chaos.

Just sayin'.

With that out of the way, I think I can take a big step ongoing beta test replacement system in stride. I have only a few concerns.

1. How will the current Board Owners be transitioned over to the new system? A seamless switchover with same passwords. etc?

Are there any requirements or actions they need to take now?

Not all of the BOs have a presence in IRC or even email contact information on file with HW. Few manage big named boards, but they all do care and want some assurance of continuity. The BVs care too, but as long as the BOs transition correctly they can reconstitute the board staff on their own.

2. Not all the BOs are fully public with board settings, logs, etc. Are these options to be carried over to the new system, or is this a planned regression to board management options?

8chan as a whole doesn't like hiding stuff, but that should be between the users and the BOs, not arbitrarily imposed by the developer(s).

Where the fuck is the beta link?

>>2308

Beneath the catalog link at the top of the page nigger.

I'll grant it could be a little clearer.

>>2309

Isn't that just the normal infinity dev board? I though today 8chan itself was going to be copied onto the new software.

>>2310

It's supposed to go into a beta phase with partial or complete database retention(?) or movement.

>8chan is not going to be running Infinity Next on November 9th. There will be a LIVE BETA that imports some or all of 8chan's current database and lets people try out the software as if it did switch over so we can make changes before it does go live.

>Infinity Next will be deployed on a server owned by 2channel using a near-production environment. It will exist on a subdomain of 8ch.net (like beta.8ch.net) and will import some, if not all, of 8chan's database so that you can play around with features as if it were a live site. It will not be live until December.

>>2310

More miscommunication I'm afraid.

This is why I've said it was a good thing we had this shitstorm now and not in December.

There is a solid month to change anything that will really upset people.

Will everything in the beta site get deleted after it's over?

Basically, can I fuck my board up in the beta site without the fear of it being permanent? (assuming we're transferring accounts and everything)

>>2300

Sorry, but I decided to make my CSS proprietary due to the high demand of a good UI. I am already negotiating the price with hotwheels and josh.

When is the captcha for every post getting removed again?

Also, why can't you post with just a capcode?

It seems if I try to post with the BO capcode it forces me to post with my owner nickname, which is fucking gay.

I've always heard of Anon's fabled bitchiness, but this is my first time seeing it in action. Holy shit some of you are acting like children.

>>2032

Will you be making an announcment when the live beta goes live and give a link to it?

Also, will the accounts made on the beta transfer over to the live site in December?

>>2318

>It seems if I try to post with the BO capcode it forces me to post with my owner nickname, which is fucking gay.

Fucking gay is a silly nickname anon.

>>2320

Hue.

No but seriously there seems to be far too much tripfaggotry exuding from the current mod screen. Almost looks like a forum profile

You did it on purpose, didn't you Josh?

Josh, why did you add horizontal lines when the updated crown of OPs do the job now and look good?

>>2327

>>2310

>>2309

Well that answers that question (and it appears I was wrong).

Josh you nigger update the link at the top of the page.

>>2334

Even without images, vichan will begin freezing around 500 replies and 750 is when shit goes really bad.

Also, how'd you break the captcha? Hotwheels was pretty proud of it.

>>2336

>Also, how'd you break the captcha? Hotwheels was pretty proud of it.

Oh, I'm not here to help Josh, I'm just making fun of him.

>>2331

I'd just make a single account and have it shared. So it would seem like just one mod but really all the mods share that account.

Hilariously enough that would bring us back to how things were in the very beginning.

The beta doesn't even look like the updated version that is on his site, they should have been more prepared.

>>2341

>>2342

I think a few days to take stock of the current feedback and the fallout from the /v/ rage incident first would be good.

Implement the simple changes to the interface then make a site-wide announcement asking for feedback on the beta.

>>2300

I uploaded it here

http://beta.8ch.net/x/style.css

I think thats as close to the current 8chan theme as I can get it to look.

>>2343

But at least tell people the bloody thing is up and where they can find it.

This shit is beyond retarded, and he wonders why people get angry at him.

>>2345

I'm the first to say that clear communication is a problem with next (indeed I may have been slightly fanatical on that earlier).

I still think the current situation is a major improvement and that Josh is at least listening to complaints.

A clear, site-wide announcement is needed for proper feedback but I think waiting a few days and fixing the most basic of interface issues will prevent a repeat of the /v/ css rage which won't achieve anything but anger and frustration on both sides.

If we give Josh a chance to address the most common complaints as in this thread >>2270 then make the sitewide announcement directing anons to the beta we'll actually get feedback on the actual issues that matter instead of more argument about interface shit.

tl;dr get the beta appearance issues resolved before asking for feedback on day to day usage.

>>2339

But Josh didn't even make the captcha, hotwheels did.

>>2309

The top and bottom bar cuts off on the beta site, instead of using multiple lines with breaks.

I can't even change things on [options] because it cuts off before that.

>>2352

Also, I don't understand and therefore do not like the new text formatting symbols.

>>2354

>>2352

You're asking the wrong person nigger.

Josh (if he's awake) is the one with the answers I'm just here to demand unreasonable changes.

So basically no one can post images right now correct?

>>2361

Seems that way.

I want to thank whichever one of you fucking morons started linking "beta.8ch.net" all over the place. That is an extraordinarily old copy of the software that copypaste set up about 3 months ago.

So now on top of sheer, unadulterated rage I have people completely misinformed reporting bugs that don't fucking exist and were fixed about 6 weeks ago.

>>2366

>blaming users for something only hotwheels has control over

stay retarded.

>>2343

>/v/ rage incident

Care to explane?

>>2368

on sunday, when 8ch was down more than likely, users on 8ch took to infinitynext as a temporary housing until the home site came back up once again. At that time, the users of the site saw multiple things wrong with the current CSS for infinitynext and posted thier gripes in a /v/ sticky until the developer of infinitynext himself, Josh, came to see what was going on. the complaints brought forward were brought about in a brash manner (as it always has been scince possibly the dawn of imageboards) and Josh responded back in a similar way, eventually leaving back to take feedback from /next/ and chat on an IRC channel. The entire incident showed a severe lack of proper communication between the majority of site users and the development of infinitynext that is still prevalent ( >>2366 ).

>>2369

Ah mate, I'm sincerely apologetic that two twenty year olds living on the other side of the planet have failed to tap into the fucking hivemind to communicate properly. Let me throw my hundreds of thousands of dollars that I have on hiring a Customer Service Representative so that future issues are paved out more expediently.

I wake up at the tail end of everybody's day in the US and the first thing I see is 10 bug reports over IRC about the "new 8chan beta site" not working. How would you feel? So now, instead of plugging in these fucking changes you want, I'm writing this shit to tell you how my day's going.

There is no live beta site. If you want Next as it stands, use Infintiy Dev.

>>2366

Josh, in the OP of this thread you directly name the beta subdomain, so naturally people are going to go investigate. Effectively, you are the one who linked it.

You can say "chill guys, that's an old version" and leave it at that, instead of sperging out on people for an honest mistake.

I know you are under a lot of pressure because you are doing a shitload of work and have thousands of users who are going to be affected by your work, but honestly a lot of the probelms you seem to have could either be easily avoided or quickly explained without raging so hard.

Instead of trying to make a bunch of new features and layout changes before you even have most of the existing functionality recreated, you really should have done a straight up Infinity clone but with all the great back-end performance imrpovements first and foremost. That way, after this familiar environment for users has been extensively tested and approved, you could start to suggest and demonstrate new changes to the site we already know and love.

Much easier than spending all day trying to defend layout changes to people who see that Infinity Next currently has a fraction of the functionality found on Infinity.

>>2371

Anything "new" took 30 fucking seconds to make mate. That's the idea. The new random feature that only considers boards with recent activity and encourages people to look around with little rocket ships? That was done in an afternoon and I haven't had to touch it since. The front page? Took like an hour. It took 30 minutes to build the featured post system.

This is how shit works when you have a framework. "New" features are just me going, "I bet I can do this easy now", and doing it. Everything else is just attempting to reach feature parity by going a different road.

>>2372

It's not about how easy it is.

It's about the perception of priorities. New features taking priority over basic stuff like back-links or hover-previews for posts just makes people question the direction the work is taken, even if you have the best of intentions.

>u have tooken a wrong turn

No, I just found it because I am desperate for a site with simple functionality

>>2360

I aint even jewish, I'm Irish. Don't tell my employers though.

>>2370

>There is no live beta site. If you want Next as it stands, use Infintiy Dev.

Did not know this. I though the beta was going to be located somewhere else?

The impression most were under was that 'beta.8ch.net' was the live beta.

>>2396

Yes, and that link was posted nowhere. Some genius guessed "beta.8ch.net" because some other genius lied and said that the beta was definitely absolutely going to be on the 9th when it was "at least" date. As in, the best possible scenario was November 9th. So now I have a bunch of people whose first impressions are from this shit copy of Next that doesn't even have fucking attachments when the live demo site has been on the goddamn top of the page for 6 fucking months.

We ARE NOT IN BETA. You'll know when we are in beta. We were hoping to have it done by today but copypaste formatted the wrong server and he's been fucking around with different makes of PHP or some shit. I got the PostgreSQL stuff done, and even submitted a patch to the Laravel framework regarding it.

https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/10847

https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/10857

https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/10863

Hopefully you can see why I'm stressed. Right now I'm playing with CSS a bit just to unwind. The CSS work has always been my artistic little expenditure of stress. That's why sometimes we get random little features like adventure rocket ships and MP3 players. I don't want to deal with Postgres driver issues anymore this week. I want to build something fun people like playing with.

>>2409

To be fair, "beta.8ch.net" is in the OP right now under "What will hapen on the 9th?". Someone probably went there on 9th and thought the beta was on since there was something in there.

>>2410

Fine, if that's what caused it then it's my fault. Shikata ga nai. There's still a month to try and get some shit in place to keep spirits high before the migration so we'll see what we can do.

>>2414

>The >> is unnecessary and distracting. Why is it even there? Do you think you're cool for adding that?

Looks better with it. 4chan does it. "Make it Yotsuba!! Make it Yotsuba!!" Guess what? It's Yotsuba.

>Shifting the whole post box instead of adding a margin inside it wastes horizontal space and doesn't actually solve the problem of the left side of the post being too hard to focus on. Remove the >> and add a bit of that space into the post itself.

How is that interior margin any different from what 8chan has currently?

>You really like buttons don't you? Do you think we're too retarded to use the arrow?

I know you're posting from Poland which is basically a third world country, but have you ever used a mobile phone? That little triangle cunt doesn't cut it. "b-but mobile is for faggots and normies". I'm in a car for like an hour a week. I'm supporting mobile.

>The Open button is unnecessary, we've always been able to click the No. before the post number to do that. Stop trying to invent things that are already there and making a button for every single goddamn thing. A thread isn't a space ship cockpit. As a rule of thumb, if something appears more than once or twice in a page, it shouldn't be a button.

I've gotten good feedback about the Post button. I agree about No. but people were flipping shit about the missing [Reply] link (LITERALLY THE SAME URL AS THE FUCKING NO.) being gone. So people needed an Open link. You're not the only person who's going to be using this.

>You don't need pre-emptive uploading to take advantage of comparing hashes to avoid duplicates. Looking at how fast retrying a post on current software is, I suspect it's already a thing and you're again taking credit for making a worse version of an existing feature.

No. It's not. Trust me, as someone who uses 100Kbps upload speeds if my post is rejected the first time I just give up. Nice job being a cunt about it though. It's good to know where you stand in knowing what you're talking about.

>>2415

>I'm supporting mobile.

I've never understood why faggots want to use imageboards in public.

There are some, /a/utists for example, that would call anyone doing that severe cancer.

As for the pre-emptive uploading, there was a number of anons thinking of ways how it could be used to flood the server with garbage since it isn't behind captcha and possibly even crash the site with enough bots.

Is there anything in place to prevent this?

>I've never understood why faggots want to use imageboards in public.

>There are some, /a/utists for example, that would call anyone doing that severe cancer.

Dude lines are long as fuck here in Manila. Constant gridload, 1000 brown people ahead of me when I just want to buy some ramen and soda. Nobody here gives a shit. I could pull up two dogs spitroasting a girl and they wouldn't bat an eye.

copypaste and I don't own cars so we Uber around the city. Hour long rides just to go down the street. Plenty time to dick around on 8chan.

If people are calling me autistic it's not because I'm using 8chan in public. Lots of other shit on the list ahead of that.

>As for the pre-emptive uploading, there was a number of anons thinking of ways how it could be used to flood the server with garbage since it isn't behind captcha and possibly even crash the site with enough bots.

>Is there anything in place to prevent this?

Not yet. I've been thinking about how to do that. You can't upload the same item multiple times, because it only records uniques as checksums. All unused items are thrown out every hour.

The best checks would be webserver level, restricting bandwidth per connection to a specific amount. It's trivial with Nginx but for some reason 8chan doesn't use rate limiting.

I've introduced 429 "Too Many Requests" limiting on the captcha system and have taken measures to optimize them. Try F5'ing this really fast:

https://infinitydev.org/cp/captcha/replace.json

I've been thinking about implementing application level DDoS countermeasures on middleware in the Laravel request cycle to prevent people from hitting the server too many times. If you tried to do too much you'd get cutegirl'd until some time has passed.

The upload-before-post feature is definitely experimental but I love the fuck out of it and it's extraordinarily useful. I'd much rather take the time to logically reduce chances of abuse (such as using temporary record keeping like Memcache to remember which files belong to who so that a single address can only hold X megabytes of content before it begins to ignite the oldest material or send 429 cutegirls at you).

>>2422

Interestingly, I think the /kappa/ guy runs his own chan. He's running a style he wants to use.

Anyone who browses a chan site more than likely uses an application to browse it. 4chan has the clover app. 8ch has Exodus (deprecated) as well as Ouroboros (active). you shouldn't really be doing something that any one with a bit of a brian will solve themselves.

>>2437

I don't. I browse directly from the site.

I've tried these apps, and they're all shit. I'd much rather browse directly from the site.

so is the beta live yet?

>>2444

nvm i read through the thread. The OP makes it seem like it should be live

>>2444

No.

My 2¢ on infinitydev.org:

☐ Must have tor support, ☐ I2P next

☐ IPs need to be salted, and ☑ cycle-flushed

☑ Shit needs ephemerality. Hopefully ☐ less meta.

Optional:

☐ JSON I/O, or raw SQL PROCEDURE I/O (htsql.org shoutout)

☐ DNSSEC DANE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Named_Entities

Question for Josh:

I see that currently just over $11,000 has been raised so far from NEXT donations and I'm looking at the features lists and I see different donor goals for money recieved and while we're post-10,000 none of the 8000 or 10,000 goals have been checked off or met.

Are the checkmarks just for progress reports? Cause it's now 700 away from the 12,000 ME SO COMFY goal but yet half of the goals aren't even checked off yet and it can't be cumulative cause cumulatively goals would have to equal funding of $2600.

So what's going on about that?

>>2455

Josh only check features if they are 100% done.

Most features are 90% done. Look at the issues on the milestones page : https://github.com/infinity-next/infinity-next/milestones

>security code

it's called a captcha you dip.

>>2083

>>2088

>Josh just please tell me you're going to implement a quick way to download files with the original filename like in the original Infinity.

The way it is currently solved is by using the download parameter of the HTML hyperlink (a) tag:

<a download="[Sobbing].PNG" href="...">...</a>

It's not cross-browser compatible. There is a more robust way: make every file have two URLs:

https://media.8ch.net/next/src/1447015612807.png

https://media.8ch.net/next/src/1447015612807.png/[Sobbing].PNG

This will work even in Netscape Navigator 3.0.

I can't understand why this is so hard for chan boards. Halfchan, too, had a download parameter for Chrome, then it dropped it without any announcement. Maybe it's a deliberate omission because modified file names uniquely identify thread of origin and allow spying on users who spread thus marked images. It's a fun feature but it contributes to surveillance culture.

>>2072

>DOWNLOAD BUTTON PLS

This. It would be nice if we could select multiple posts (some/all) and then click "Download images".

>>2059

>What's the deeper meaning behind the choice of image for this thread?

That's what the intended user of this software (You) is supposed to look like.

>This also means it won't be 100% by the day 8chan is using it on 8ch.net live.

That's fine, better to have 70% of a chan than half of one :^)

and anything's better than this tinyboard shit

Can we please start using the infinity-next code on 8ch.net right now (or when backlinking is implemented)?

The site is falling apart, everyday there are new errors, it literally can't be worse on infinity-next code than what the site runs on now.

>>2461

pls no.

>>2458

I concur with a download button to select images. I'm not overly concerened about a gallery option ( I have that in Overchan).

Has anyone else noticed that /ints/ is getting a bot spam post every 2 minutes?

How many other boards (hidden or not) are currently being flooded with spam posts?

This has to be why Infinity is on its death bed.

>>2438

>... why?

Well it annoys desktop users for one.

As long as there is a CSS included that can be chosen with the arrow menu nobody will care too much (or at least HW will get the bitching).

Given how easy it is to change (30 seconds by your own words) would it really hurt to have one for desktop users and one for mobile ones?

>>2414

>We need clickable IDs and an option to disable the color and the button like right now, it's jarring as fuck.

These also. Coloured IDs annoy the shit out of most and are quickly rendered useless in threads with many anons. By all means keep them as an option.

I'd imagine clickable IDs is on the list but not finished but if not that too.

>>2462

At the very least we'll need the gutter fixed (though Josh says he's working on a solution to that).

Feature suggestion: temporary storage (caching) of thread after its pruning.

Some call it "archiving" but it's not.

Upside: makes life 10x easier.

Downside 1: removes unpredictability of 404 which makes chans such an addictive experience. This is harmful for the individual but good for the community.

Downside 2: false advantage when user is interested in seeing content deleted by moderator.

>>2471

Yes, unfortunately we have been getting a lot of legal threats so we can either take down 8chan as a whole or start logging user information. I can tell you that we will only give out this information when we absolutely must, such as in the case of DMCA or government requests. In fact we've already been doing this, Next will just streamline the process.

>>2490

Yeah, no. I don't like colored IDs, they look terrible. I'm really trying to distance Next from 4chan. If you want them so badly you can always go back to 4chan.

>>2495

I'm sick of you people giving your shitty feature requests. Have you ever considered how difficult that would be to code, or what type of server resources it would require? Probably not.

>>2496

>>2471

Well maybe if you don't know what you're talking about you should just let other people make their "suggestions." I already have enough garbage to sort through.

Wouldn't that be as simple as replacing "Delete thread" by "Lock thread" before irrevocably deleting it 2 days later? I'm not arguing.

Sorry, I didn't imply that you were doing it. I probably clicked your ID and then the second one and got both at the same time because of that fucking bug.

>>2506

>Just noticed this. Awesome.

Though you're still a dipshit. What are we logging? Some person can impresonate me, get "IMPERSATION" below their post, and you still take what they say at face value. Why? Why are you still so easily misled?

Next logs less information about people than Infinity does currently.

>>2507

Keep up the good work. I love 8chan. It has given everyone hope. Only time will show whether there's any substance to FUD. We can't trust anyone and we must stay paranoid. Your imposter's message is baseless but funny.

>>2507

> Some person can impresonate me

You wouldn't have that problem if you posted with a tripcode. No one would get mad about it because it'd make sense. You're the dev for infinitynext, after all

>>2509

It was comfier without the trips tho.

>>2510

>>2511

No. I'm building an import script because copy wants to get a beta open tomorrow.

>>2522

At our earliest opportunity.

where is the beta josh

you said there would be a beta

I hear some anons saying it's beneath the catalog link at the top of the page but i don't see shit there.

I should mention the data set is a bit out of date. It's about half a year old, but the actual schema differences are limited.

>>2534

How long before we can post on the beta?

>>2534

Looks good (though it should say 'are x boards' not 'is x boards').

>>2538

I mean the actual beta, as in beta.8ch.net.

That's just Josh' implementation of Next which has been there for months.

>>2534

8chan is shitting itself in this very thread (you can only see this post from the index), when can we start to post on the beta build? I assume soon™

>>2534

what boards are actually being selected for import?

>>2534

> no /monster/

i guess those walls of text must be killing 8chan.

>>2534

>>2535

will more recent data be ported once you figure out how it works and if it works?

some boards depend on more recent data than others i think

>>2534

when you can try to import the newest data that monster has since it would be really awkward if 4 month something old threads were suddenly back.

>>2415

I am wondering if the theme section under options could have an additional checkbox that sets the given theme to all boards unless a board has another setting specified by the user. Maybe it could also display custom css as well, so that the box allows users to select a "default."

It's a minor thing, and it might bother other anons more than pleasing them.

Overall, the site is really coming along, and I look forward to Next.

>>2507

>Next logs less information about people than Infinity does currently.

Thank you. I think this will be a popular change.

>>2524

I believe it is https://infinitydev.org but correct me if I am mistaken.

>there is nothing we can do to eliminate the need for a captcha.

drrrrrrrropped

I hope boards have a option to turn it off, or only have 1 captcha like we do now

>>2564

>when you can try to import the newest data that monster has since it would be really awkward if 4 month something old threads were suddenly back.

>>2574

That's how it works. Read the thread.

>>2576

Josh, about my pull request.

You don't have to learn how to use any of that shit right now, you have more important things to worry about for a month or so, but we'll need to have a task runner in the future which will preferably be Gulp and Elixir on top of top of that for the neat features like manifests for cache invalidation. When it comes down to that, ask Fred.

My pull request is just marking the versions of the dependencies in tree for now, that's all, didn't touch anything else and you don't have to use it.

Also, for API versioning are you going to prefix it somehow, use headers, or assume that the json endpoints that we have now are version v1?

>>2577

I don't want any of that shit though. I know how to write CSS, I don't need a tool to help me. I tried adding SASS at the very beginning of writing the project and it threw fifty fucking things at me as requirements just so I could write a little less. I just threw my hands up and said forget it. I just don't give a fuck about any of this.

The requirements right now are a handful of apt-gets and boom, you've got infinity next running. Trying to get this front end bullshit set up with all this hipster frappe fluff pisses me off.

>>2581

bower itself has nothing to do with that and task running isn't restricted to preprocessing, though that's mainly what it's used for.

no point arguing with someone who's been brutally raped by node's nested dependencies model though, I suppose.

Are we ever going to get aggregate or combined catalogs? The idea was floated months ago, but I don't know if it was considered for next.

>>2534

Thank you; this is big.

>>2581

>>>2534

Josh do we have any clue at all as to when we can start using the beta? Certain boards have not been updating for almost 3-5 hours. Peple have tried cutting back thread pages to about 10, but its only cutting it back to one hour now.

This is fucking serious Josh, you have to get that beta up sometime this week. boards such as /monster/ are suffering right now because of this.

We also need to get all the board owners together to reduce their page count from 15 down to 10

I thought this shit was supposed to go live on the 9th

>>2496

>start logging user information

What if this was really Josh, but he accidentally said too much? He could by trying to backtrack by banning the post and claiming impersonation. That post seems too similar to how Josh actually talks to be just a troll. I suspect 8chan is actually logging user information.

Thanks for letting us know this Josh

Nice try hiding it cripplejim

>>2602

How am I going to write characters with custom diacritics then like m̈ (m+¨ if it won't show up)

btw if you want to prevent stacks of combining characters at least make some smart rule like not allowing stacks of more than 10 rather than just filtering them all out

>>2213

Speaking of API, I know I bug you about this semi-frequently, but any word on documentation for the API yet? I don't actively follow next's development cycle except for github email alerts. I want to make the transition as smooth as possible for my users when the change over happens.

>>2607

This guy has the right idea.

preg_replace('/(\p{Mn}{1,10})\p{Mn}+/u', '$1', $reddit_shit)

>>2599

We really can't wait until next month. We NEED that beta up like now. No excuses Josh, just get it up

>>2609

>reddit_shit

>>2611

>No excuses Josh, just get it up

Shouldn't you at least buy him dinner first?

>>2604

nope, josh got more money so it's delayed a bit more

>>2619

He said he's still pushing for December. Though we still have not gotten a beta up yet, and Josh haven't even gotten back to people about this yet. I did something along the lines of Hotwheels really fucked up somewhere recently and Josh is pissed off at him

>>2630

**He did say

Hey Josh, can we upload .Flac any time soon? Otherwise I think the new site is very smooth, keep doing your stuff.

I know this is retarded to ask, but where's the go to bottom/top buttons? It's a bit late in the game before hitting beta, I think that's a pretty substantial feature for imageboards like these in general.

>>2638

On that note, it would be nice if top and bottom buttons went to the OP and the last post, instead of going all the way to the top and bottom of the page. Not sure if that's feasible or desirable, though.

By the way, infinitydev is coming along nicely, I think. I don't think it needs to be rushed asking if it compromises site stability,though I do look forward to seeing it implemented.

>The main issue is that it's somewhat more difficult to tell threads apart on the index page now, and I agree, but lazily throwing in page breaks does not resolve the issue.

Yes it does. You disliking a simple, sleek, efficient core feature of HTML because you consider it ugly or "lazy" does not affect the fact that you have already acknowledged, which is that it allows people to tell where one thread ends and the next begins much more easily.

>two sections about captcha

We already have a captcha on the current software, and that wasn't the issue. The current captcha system says "every 24 hours" despite having been every three or four hours for months now, and also occurring after some number of posts, probably 50 or so, which isn't mentioned at all.

Let me just address how this captcha thing looks to the users:

Hotwheels: Come to 8chan, free speech, make your own board, no captchas.

Anon: Okay.

Hotwheels: Too much CP spam from Tor, captcha for them.

Anon: Okay.

Hotwheels: Too much bot spam from everyone, captcha for everyone daily.

Anon: Okay.

Anon: Hey, the captcha page is constantly throwing up 502s and shit and loading slow or not at all so I can't post at all until it stops not working. Also, it's more often than 24 hours and has a post count trigger as well. What's up HW?

Hotwheels: Server software is kill, Next will unfuck all you're chan.

Anon: Okay...

Josh (present): I have set up captchas, instead of whatever HW actually has now it's once per hour or once per ten posts.

'Anon: What the fuck? That's basically like what Tor users or 4chan users have.

Josh (indirectly): It's just as a demonstration of the system, I am not the owner of 8ch and JimHotwheels will make the decision and also re-code whatever he wants and tweak settings.

Hotwheels (near future): Haha sorry guys, I was rolling Infinity out in a real hurry because of the broken old code and must have forgotten to change those settings. Give me a few days.

/tech/: Here is how you do it, hotwheel, I have gazed into the soul of the source code.

Hotwheels: Haha looks hard and complicated to me I'll do it if I get time, really though the community grew so much that the captcha had to get more frequent sometime.

Anon: So is that why you changed it without ever letting us know what it was on the old system?

Hotwheels: We'll keep it this way for now and see how it works out.

Anon (three months later): Everything is just a stale replica of the rest of the internet.

IRC Cronies: Unhand Madame Hotwheels immediately, milady must not be insulted in such fashion, what kind of stupid shitposter wants less captchas?

Sorry, no relevant English Wikipedia entry exists. Apparently, analphabetism is an unknown concept to analphabets Anglosaxons.

Also how are you going to paste URLs that contain these strings if you disable these characters? Example: https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/أمية

Oh, and deleted/non-extant post links should remain being links, just CSS class "deleted". (This time represented by text-decoration: line-through.)

Whereby I discover another bug in old Infinity: after a user deletes a post, new posts are still being matched against it for flood protection as if it hadn't been deleted.

I have a complaint, not specific to the new software, but since new software is being developed, it makes sense to do something about this.

I hate the "spoiler" feature and I wish there was an option to switch it off and just display thumbs for every picture.

>why am I giving control of these things to anonymous users who are not on my board staff?

Good fucking question. Why are you? If you don't want that, don't set it to true.

Some options shouldn't be available on a board level because they don't make sense, but setting it to true would be harmless because the system doesn't check. But, judging from your screenshot, you're viewing this from an admin perspective because you can't set any permission you don't have yourself.

I can't take the time to explain how the permission system works right now because it's complicated and warrants a real manual. I'm not advising anyone use Infinity Next for production purposes until 2016.

Is there a place to report errors we encounter on the beta site or is this it?

How do you make usernames in public logs hidden?

I think this thread is freezing again

I guess I'll just say a few things here.

Mod tools being in a drop down menu is inconvenient. I would really want to ask to change that, but it seems like a considerable change so I don't know if this is possible at this point.

The ban appeals page gives me a 403 error, probably because there aren't any.

Does [Dismiss IP] mean all future reports by this IP are blocked or only all current ones by this IP are dismissed?

Will there be a way to see all recent posts on the board like before?

The control panel should also have a link to the board log I think.

Where the fuck do we report bugs?

I'm on the beta, and I'm finding bugs, but nobody is pointing to any actual issue tracker or anything.

Why is this thread gone dead?

Okay, I have made babby's first Infinity Next post. There:

https://infinitydev.org/test/thread/2243#2391

https://infinitydev.org/test/thread/2243#2390

https://infinitydev.org/test/thread/2243#2422

https://infinitydev.org/test/thread/2243#2423

1. I like how the edit box resizes to the left instead of to the right. That's logical.

2. Videos close themselves after playback. Not sure if I like it.

3. Board software tries to guess for the user where quotes begin and end, rendering them as blockquote. It forces a document structure on messages intended (both by the user and chan tradition) to be flat text. This introduces gaps that aren't always expected or desirable. And its guess whether the preceding line is part of the quote is incorrect in my post. I'm not sure whether the traditional chan post syntax allows for precise, fault-free and predictable guesses. I'm not in favour of this function. You can introduce a dedicated tag for those who consciously intend a blockquote. But I could be wrong.

4. The post marker ">>" on the left of each post looks like a waste of screen estate. Maybe attach it to the post number inside the post box rectangle? That's just one idea.

5. Right clicking on us+80%27s+kids+... .webm to save it saves it as infinitydev_1447003232-0.webm instead of US+80%27S+KIDS+HUH.webm.

6. Right clicking on Download (5.12 MiB) to save it saves it as a HTML file (infinitydev_1447003232-0.htm). Left clicking it saves it as infinitydev_1447003232-0.webm instead of US+80%27S+KIDS+HUH.webm.

7. Video thumbnails fail to get captured by Archive.is. This is more of an Archive.is bug than an Infinity Next bug but it betrays some serious HTML madness. What for? Chan can and must be clean and simple.

https://archive.is/cKAUE

8. I haven't tested this but I just presume that this function doesn't exist: in another chan, I can cancel sending a submitted post in the last second while data are still being uploaded. I do so by clicking "Submit" again. I wish I had this function in Infinity.

9. Cross-thread (You) post marking already exists in old Infinity. What doesn't exist, is cross-thread reply linking (especially convenient in continuation threads but not only).

10. Non-existing posts should be converted to links anyway, just marked. Some faulty post number linking there:

The fuck?

What the fuck is up with this bullshit captcha? I have to open a new fucking window just because I refuse to enable js? You want to force people to enable js? Fuck you.

That, combined with your new pre-crime faggot shit, and it's clear that this site is going the way of 4chan. You say it'll only be used to filter out cp. That we should "trust you"... Well, I fucking don't. Because I'm not mentally retarded. Every single fucking time something like this has been implemented anywhere on an image board/forum, it's been abused. Power = Abuse. Have fun with your shitty website you fucking idiots. I'm out.

oh okay, bye.

>>2881

Duh. I committed too early. I'm getting the hover-over stuff to work now.

Now files have original names.

If also someone repaired this thread... that would be 100% win.

>>2890

>If also someone repaired this thread... that would be 100% win.

Oh, wait... have I just accidentally repaired it?

>>2890

>Now files have original names.

A minor flaw here. Spaces in file names are encoded as '+' which is correct. The problem is that browser (Chrome) fails to decode them as spaces when downloading. They are saved as '+' ("Swift+fox+jumps+over+the+lazy+dog.jpg"). Not a priority issue, still something that needs to be corrected at some point nevertheless.

Why has the reply button been replaced by an unintuitive, not self explanatory, harder to click, harder to see arrow in the corner? Do you think you're clever, Josh?

Also, showing replies from other boards sounds very abusable. There will be spam boards dedicated to mass quoting posts from other boards to fill them with replies.

>>2855

>7. Video thumbnails fail to get captured by Archive.is. This is more of an Archive.is bug than an Infinity Next bug but it betrays some serious HTML madness.

Not only video thumbnails:

>>2906

Huh? What precisely?

>>2913

It's possible but would require a community conversation.

>>2914

Oh. Should I make a thread about it or something?

My reasoning is pretty simple, because of proxies it is nigh impossible to actually keep people off of certain communities, especially if they are persistent, passwords would solve this for closed places.

I don't see the problem if people want to have sekrit klubs and closed-off boards.

Freedomboard had something similar IIRC?

>>2910

For example, the menu icon button is a span element with the menu-icon-button class but if it was an input element checkbox one could hide and show the next element after the checkbox with input.menu-icon-button:checked + * { display: none }; in pure CSS.

>>3013

There's no evidence Lynxchan would actually be better with the issue presented. The running instance of Lynx is quite small, they need to fill it with a lot more dummy data before anyone can say it'd be a better fit.

Josh is shit, but that doesn't mean Lynx is automatically a good framework or better.

>>3018

This

Next worked fine until millions of posts were pumped into it.

On the beta site

On my 10" android tablet in landscape I cannot post, when I click on the reply box it jumps to the then back out So cannot enter any text.

It works fine in portrait for some fucking reason with the reply box staying in the correct place not jumping to the top even though width res is lower in portrait.

I want to point out in landscape when it jumps to the top it exits out straight away back to the reply box so I cannot reply at all in landscape, tried chrome and dolphin.

On a 10 inch tablet in landscape it should not be trying to jump to the top to reply anyway, but atm you cannot type at all in the lanscape mode.

Tablet res is 2560 x 1600 and is a tab pro 10.1. I think android says chrome res is 1280×800 for all hi-res tablets though, this still doesn't explain why it works fine in portrait though

IMO they should keep the old 8chan as na arquive and started with empty boards like live beta.

>>3022

>>3018

The funny thing is that Next was supposed to build up to handle this. It isn't even a thing to be stated, it's common sense, because it's 8chan we're talking about. So, as everyone was worried about the layout and criticizing the UI, i had put all my hope precisely in backend.

>>3031

I had honestly hoped that Josh had actually tested the database already. The fact that he didn't does not fill me with confidence.

The imported site was up for a little while at beta.8ch.net. Here's what I noticed.

Threads on the front page appear as one OP

No country flags

Old images do not appear (anything posted before Oct/Nov 14)

Youtube thumbnails do not appear, nor do the URLs of removed Youtube videos

Catalog page was missing the older 2/3 of posts

Greetext is black, Red text is black, lots of extra line breaks in the posts

why are they using PostgreSQL instead of MySQL for a chan?

IIRC postgres is better when there's a lot of write operations. It's why Reddit uses Postgres as well.

Some more

I don't see any text formatting at all

Thread posts show up out of chronological order

The oldest pages on my board have no images at all

If a board was not accurately copied it simply needs to be imported again, the right way. Fast boards will be okay but it is devastating for slower boards to lose so much information.

don't take the banter personally josh

pls bring back the beta

thx bby

I see no issue here. Betas tend to be ugly no life fuckers such as yourself.

The green background is tiled just for convenience, but you can always make a PNG and mutiple background in CSS:

If I make a new board now will the board itself and my login shit be saved, even if the board contents won't be migrated over?

Will there be a way for people to access their old settings after the transition? Some people may have long filter lists that they won't want to recreate. If they're smart and following what's happening, they'll export them before the transition, but I bet many people won't do that. Are we at least avoiding name clashes with the old preferences?

Hopefully we do a fresh new import, it'll be almost a fortnight of activity lost otherwise to save much less than 12 hours of time

>30% of my first 70 threads begins with some lost images. How would I fix this?

I think this is because those files where uploaded last year and have a different layout in the database or something

>>>/next/3070

This problem would probably affect a lot of smaller boards which have had very long running threads.

Ideally, a hack would be written up to fix this edge case and correct their representation in the database, but it all depends on whether Josh has enough time and/or is interested in preserving those files for the transfer.

Instead of having a list of the top 20 boards in the header, why not a list of the top 20 board tags? And then create overboards for each board tag.

don't do another import, just switch to next ASAP

Another import will be better in the long run

> Permission refactoring has progressed by leaps and bounds tonight. Import round 2 looking likely on New Years.

Sounds promising

>>3544

Agree with this.

Another import would be ideal, especially if it's hundreds of times faster because all the PostgreSQL problems were fixed.

>>2032

Josh, how'd it go with the fixing of Laravel's busted-ass postgres driver?

At least our president isn't a nigger

Anyone who heard of this Null nigger and how he acts on his other site kiwifar.ms shouldn't be surprised by this.

The only reason nobody shits on him there is he'll permaban them.

So, our Josh is the same autistic psychopath who told a single mother he hopes her newborn child burns to death?
