wasteof.money officially launched 1 year ago! here are some wasteof facts:
wasteof.money officially “launched” a year ago today (12th june 2021), but there was a development version that goes back further (around the 11th of november 2020).
that version, named
wasteof.moneynever was properly launched, and was only accessible through dev.wasteof.money. the database was wiped several times since it launched, but i have a backup of the last version of the site before it shut down.fun fact:
wasteof.moneywas actually open source: https://github.com/jeffalo/wasteof.moneyeventually, i rewrote the entire site with a better codebase and more modern UI, named
wasteof2. it started fresh with a new database, a year ago, and is likely what you’re using to read this post!the next version of wasteof.money will be
wasteof3, which shares a database schema towasteof2(no data will be lost), and is currently accessible at beta.wasteof.money. once it reaches full feature parity and is tested enough, it will replacewasteof2.
and some news regarding the site:
i am leaving for a trip starting on the 13th of june, and ending on the 17th. until then, i will not be able to access the internet, so i have added a new admin, @rirurin to take care of the site temporarily. thanks @rirurin!
i have got the new server working (long story short, i actually did receive the correct configuration from the ebay seller, but the server didn’t realize that the components changed
).wasteof.money will likely move to the new server soon, and hopefully this should allow for a better performing site.
thank you for using this site and helping me build my dream social media. here’s to another great year of wasteof.money!!!

Hope that you trip nicely
Also woah didn´t know you´re so good at planning I certainly won´t plan to trip on the stairs or wherever you´re going to trip
Amazing! Well, I hope you have an awesome trip and a good break from the Internet. Wasteof is definitely my new favorite online community. You’ve built something really special! Still holding out for wasteof3 to become open-source :P
Crazy to think it’s that old now! I’ve only been here for 65% of those 365 days. I hope that we’ll see even more new features and users in year #2!
Rirurin becoming a temporary admin be like: “I´ll have to be afk for some time now. Don´t burn down the USS”
You should put up the og version with the saved database so we can see it. Also I'm glad the server wasn't a scam.
Does the backed up version of the database have a user called @radi8?
Nice!
Who was the second user?
I also think it’d be cool if you put up v1 at something like v1.wasteof.money, but would use v1’s API. I think it’d be cool to relive those moments from v1. :)
i just don’t want it to be writable — then all the memories get overwritten!
will do! i’m bringing an old camera so i’ll try to get a photo to share with you guys
Congrats!!!
Fun Fact: I was a user on dev.wasteof.money, but since all the data purges, my account was deleted. I then forgot about wasteof for a year, then made an account and started being active earlier this year. My first account was @radi8.
