When /tech/ is too slow for you

>>45>>46
Solved. I can force XMLHttpRequest to give me binary data by using responseType = 'arraybuffer', which I then decode manually with TextDecoder

Phew, was worried for a second. For a day.

Actually, still have some problems here. Most likely because of this thread
💘peri💘
probably emoji got TextDecoder confused
I'll just disable exception on failure.

In /dqn/ "all threads" page,
💘peri💘
is actually stored as
💘peri💘
in the html file. So, still not sure why TextDecoder fails there. It is in shift-jis, notepad++ confirms so.

stored as
& # 1 2 8 1 5 2 ;

Okay, this thingy works. It looks like this right now:

/dqn/ threads with unicode characters will look like this until I figure out how to unsuck TextDecoder. It is geniunly a shit api, the winapi MultiByteToWideChar had an option to ignore corrupted characters or to replace them with a character of your choice, but not TextDecoder, the only thing it knows how to do is to fall and throw an exception. To be fair it is marked as an experimental feature.

Next thing I need to do is youtube embedding, or rather youtube thumbnail and title grabbing and injecting it into the page. You know, you could've copypasted the video title if you weren't lazy.

>>54
words cannot express how disgusted i am with you

Can they express why you are disgusted at least? I don't want to actually embed, but showing thumbnail and title is pretty important. Rickrolling no more.

Nothing wrong with embedding titles and such 4chanX-style, it's more about the last sentence in your post. For lack of a better word, it seems grossly unbecoming of the place to pad out posts with metadata for links -- if the wording of the post doesn't already give an indication of what lies beyond on its own, it's probably better off without it. Part of the fun of the youtube thread (in particular) is not knowing what fellow DQNs have shared with you without first clicking on the link.

Ding!

(Actually, here's a better expression: "It looks gross." YMMV, others might don't mind as much as I do.)

I... can see the appeal of this randomness roulette. Sounds like a great way to waste your time though.

Interesting how notepad++ slightly changes the background color of the line you are on, while sakura editor (japanese text editor) and a few others instead add an underline. My guess is that winapi precashes every character you use, and same character but with different background/foreground colors are still independent characters from its perspective, so by changing background you will double the memory requirements.

I know that nothing stops you from using 3d hardware acceleration in your text editor, you will get free background transparency in that case. 3d accelerated text editor, this sounds so stupid.

oh, a 2ch browser, cool. I'm not going to use it because I can't read anything without rikaichan and such.

It parses katalog of every board on this site, and shows what threads were updated. Yes, even saged ones.
To use, install https://violentmonkey.github.io or greasemonkey or whatever people use nowadays, create new script, and copypaste it here

I'm bored. Hey, tell me about raspberry pi, the hell is it? Can you surf web/play videos with it? How expensive it is? What are some good alternatives? I see it as just a toy right now.

I want to learn how to play ogg files using directsound and howwasthatlibrarycalled.

api is good if you can remember how to use it without opening docs.

>>63
Is this a good idea?

This board is unusable without something like that. Having a sidepanel for the list of boards that can fit on one line was annoying. Notifications is the basis of communication.

It would be better if it could hide threads too, or showed interesting threads above trashy ones. But this board is so dead I don't care, people barely bother to troll a board this slow.

Strange, I thought I bumped this thread, why it still shows up as thread #19.

Also I checked, and catalog is even a bit lighter than the main page of every board, so by refreshing the catalog you actually save traffic. The exception is the /dqn/ board, it has too many threads. Real japanese textboards store active threads and closed threads separately, this board is just a weeabooish copy. I wonder what software japanese textboards use.

I planned to have two buttons for different set of boards to refresh, but it was too annoying.

(comment to follow, please wait warmly etc)

...h-hi officer, good day isn't it?

Wait, permasaged? What? What?

Where is your fucking comment, faggot?

It's a neat tool and could definitely help revitalize the site; and not to rain on your parade or anything, but: Manually checking the boards for updates has been the stardard for almost two decades now, and I'm still deliberating whether or not to officially endorse it (and which form that would take)... Until then, I don't mind people stumbling across it on their own, but please use a little discretion! (read: I'll unpermasage the thread once these posts are out of the 10 most recent ones)

Also,

>[c/k]atalog

Thread list!! Or "subback.html" if you wish. ;)

Live2ch was the actual standard for the last 2 decades, if "Copyright (c) 2002-2020" is to be believed. Everywhere except for this shallow copy.

So, you're telling me to go ahead and schizopost in my solitude for another 10 posts. How nice. Sadly that's something I am too used to.

That fucking AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH thread ruins the /general/thread catalogue for me, I can't see the right side of the table because of it. The date is pretty useless anyway, it's not even a creation date, but a last post date.

Fixed the katalog look, for Pseud0ch style. Install one of those.

So, is anyone here? Can we open a sekrit klub now, or this is merely an online notepad?

I really like the ability to only load a range of posts. This site doesn't really needs an api, it is simplistic enough by design, parsing html isn't that much harder than parsing json or whatever.

I need a livecd, what I should use? I'm thinking of downloading ubuntu livecd and put it on a usb stick, but I'm not sure if ubuntu can read windows hard drives well.

Megamari Replay Viewer
I'm talking about it here because it's rare for me to see an assembly program in the wild.
Guy who made it had to read Megamari assembly code, so he made replay viewer in assembly too just by inertia.

Made violentmonkey script that adds previews for /img/ links right into the page. Turning textboard into imageboard. I need to figure out how to turn imageboards into textboards next, I know that I can just disable images completely, but that also disables captcha.

Hm, to get a thumbnail for https://i.imgur.com/gTIU1UVh.jpg , you replace the last h with t

Guys, http or https? Imgur supports both. Https is encrypted, so it's harder for middleman to read what you are reading. But because it is encrypted, online caching doesn't work anymore. For mails and other such matters encryption is a must, but for funny images it probably isn't that necessary?

updated qbittorrent, now it lags horribly. Especially when you download around 200 files at once, I have to keep downloads to about 10 files at the time for it to be tolerable. The UI itself lags. Fuck I hate Qt.

Next I need a way to hide threads, and to give threads you like priority over others.

nice blog dude

I know, right? Doesn't require an email, loads very fast, somebody actually reads it. The downside is that anyone can shit it up if he really wants to.

Blogging is the only thing dead boards are good for. And even that barely.

How do I link posts 97-100 without adding op? Something like >>n97-100?

Yep.

Added ajax like [peak-] button. Now I don't have to open each thread individually.

Nobody reads threads that aren't on first page, pitiful.

Is kareha unable to close a thread rather than permasaging or deleting it?

it's possible, but not used very often on here

okay, good

really?

cuz ieed to ask about voxel modelling

I think I will move to /tech/ after all. Maybe I'll still use this thread occasionally.

I'll post everything javascript and violentmonkey script related into https://4-ch.net/tech/kareha.pl/1637254723/l50 Javascript and webdev thread, and general questions into https://4-ch.net/tech/kareha.pl/1125953617/l50 [HELP] Single questions & Help Thread [n00b].

Ross's Game Dungeon: Follow-up Episode #3
11:35 has an interesting explanation of how Microsoft was intentionally killing PC gaming for 15 years in hopes that xbox will catch on.

I've looked a bit into godot, and it is an interesting game engine that seems at its best when making mobile 2d games with advanced 2d animation, and also allowing to play such mobile games natively. Of course making separate native application for every platform will produce a more high quality software, but I doubt your players even notice the difference.

I wonder how perl is compared to python. Python looks more comfortable to use, but maybe perl itself is less complicated than python under the hood? I haven't seen source code of either.

>>124
They both also have a half-baked OOP support (unlike Ruby!) Perl also has great regex support and the PerlMonks community. However, Python community is larger overall. All Python, Ruby and Perl are pretty easy to learn.

Does this place support noko or sagenoko?

test2

sagenoko works like sage, but still throws me at the board page.
How about nokosage?

nokosage still works like sage, but still throws me on main page.
