jeffalo is now the first user to have 2 pinned posts and i think this post i made caused this

interestingly, the prod and beta pages show the pins in a different order

posted from womtop.exe

quick thought i had about the wasteof api

since pinned in a user’s post list is an array that usually only contains one thing (a user’s pinned post), what would happen if someone were to add something to that array by manually editing the database?

i’m specifically referring to this:

{"posts": [ regular post list, blah ], "pinned": [ this ]}

edit: if you want to see what im referring to in the actual wasteof api, you can go to api.wasteof.money/users/jeffalo/posts?page=999 to get the pinned post without all of jeffalo’s other posts

wasteof.haxe is in the works!! GET requests working

https://github.com/8bitjake/wasteof-haxe (wip!!)

did i mention bit talk’s frontend is open source? its at https://replit.com/@8BitJake/bit-talk?v=1

chat tracker broke because of a w.

(there was a w in an import - wimport)

i am indecisive about my profile colors

wasteof.money 2

i have fixed reposts in bit talk!!!

they now show the correct posts!!

the api has also been completely rewritten to use POST requests!!

I WILL LEAVE WASTEOF.MONEY!!!!!

BUT FIRST I WILL POST ABOUT LEAVING WASTEOF.MONEY!!!!

AND THEN I WILL NOT LEAVE WASTEOF.MONEY

internet clout 101

i need help with the following!!

• handling POST requests on a nodejs server (NOT making these requests)

• creating user IDs and/or tokens (and handling those too)

(context: i want to rewrite the bit talk api, specifically so it doesnt use GET requests that have a user’s password in plain text. thats bad practice)

once i get home ill release the bit talk server code on github, which you can fork and fix my bad code

(done, thx @wynd)

i know two people on wasteof whos birthdays are today

(@/grunklebillsback and @/enterthat575)

idea: a script that changes your beta profile’s accent color daily

(dont know if this is allowed since i dont think jeffalo has said anything about self-botting)

the bit talk api takes up about 23 KB of data with the following files:

• chat.json (unused - 196 bytes)

• passwords.json (contains everyone’s hashed passwords - 3 KB)

• defaultPfp.png (the default profile picture given to users - 96 bytes)

• data.json and dataBackup.json (main database - 10 KB each, 20 KB total)

the server code takes up only 125 bytes btw
