how does you fell about bata

dont like it

Makes sense

you should make it so you can disable your wall comments. it would be helpful for some people I think

how much does it cost per month to host this website? i know it’s not cheap for sure.

(CHF and USD are pretty similar)

  • domain is around CHF 24.18 annually

  • self-hosted with two servers costing CHF ~400-500 total, including equipment

  • no clue how much we pay for electricity or internet, but i can’t imagine its cheap because energy crisis

    • one server is consuming ~150 watts rn. theres sites that let you calculate the energy prices there — i’m personally a bit too scared to check :P

wasteof.money lives up to the name?

dang

i would’ve been broke by this time

quick question:

why are post likes tracked as a number and not an array?

they aren’t, just exposed as a number rather than an array

they collect user IDs which is how it can identify if you liked it or not

but the way it displays like count is by outputting the length of the array

When wasteof4 opens beta, will existing beta testers be able to access it? And will it have a new domain?

yes

what is the origin of I’m a wasteof user yay

i needed something to put as a default bio.

ok

but did you make up the phrase or did someone suggest it

i wrote it and intended to change it later

quick question about wasteof4:

since you’re not using the prod database for wasteof4 right now, are you going to merge the wasteof4 database with the prod database when wasteof4 enters closed/open beta testing?

its just my development database, same schema as the production one. when wasteof4 launches, it’ll be the same database as the rest of the site.

makes sense

you should make it so we can automatically read messages when they’re viewed (and for those who may not like it they can disable it in settings)

makes taking a break a lot less tedious having to read 96 messages lol

this is fair. the issue i ran into, is then the “load more” button breaks, because the offset is incorrect (now 15 posts are read)

the way messages work in v3 is they are marked as read if you click them or a link inside them. then there's also a “mark all as read” button on top. is that better?

yeah

why is this called “wall”? It just seems like profile comments.

yes but try fitting that on mobile

Wasteof UI Redesign 👀

looks pretty

will polls ever be added to WATEOFMONEY

no

will polls ever be added to SCRATCH FORUMS

already

You should start earning money with wasteof. Like make ads or maybe idk an actual.wasteof.money which is like twitter blue or idk

Merch

true wasteof.merch i would buy for a t-shirt saying “i’m a wasteof person yey!”

Will wasteof4 have any major differences from wasteof3 (like extra features) or is it mainly a rewrite into sveltekit 1.0?

first i'll get login/logout working

That's probably important lol :p

Where can I repeot bugs? A post cannot be deleted after it was just posted — the page needs to be reloaded.

on beta or prod?

both

I read somewhere that the 13+ rule has been redacted

Is this true?

no. everybody still needs to be older than 13
