imagine an unedited self-referential post. on youtube you can do that by uploading really really slowly, but on wasteof i think you would have to guess mongodb ids somehow (i think someone did it?)

@Quantum-codes made an account that had the same username as its id: @6298a9f2597f53f60a617ab5

you can set ObjectIds when making them

also it was @quantum-codes who did that

in the code, you just set _id when making the document

yeah but you can’t do that as an ordinary user of wasteof, only jeffalo could do that

yeah I didn't read the post fully before saying that

making a wasteof post?

We are talking about an unedited wasteof.money post with its id in the post, right?

See more replies

yeah but not on wasteof, just in mongodb (same with lilypad, with surrealdb you can set ids but in lilypad it’s always generated)

yeah I forgor to read the post fully
