In release 1 of 1 of Pickled Onion Release Notes
In news that will make you sick to your core, it turns out that backups have been broken for the last few days.
A fix is now in place and that will tie in with the update to the database from mysql 5 to mysql 8, that's currently in development.
I keep thinking that I should keep everyone up to date with stuff that's going on with b3ta, so like an absent father I'm here with a one off interaction that makes me feel better.
For anyone who's interested, the backup failure happened when the containers that run everything here were upgraded to UBI 9.
That update gave me a load of new Grafana dashboards and alerts that tell me when the the site has fallen over.
Finally there's a new mechanism that allows me test new features as a canary deployment, meaning the current and a possible new site are shown randomly to everyone and I can monitor them both for errors.
As a bonus that's of some slight interest, if you look in your profile settings you can turn on infinite scrolling on the challenge entries page.
Next update will be a test build of the site with the PHP engine switched to a thread model which might stop some of the random outages. After that I have some random shite I want to try out.
/edit I'll also look at webp at some point

I just want you to enable webp
and to introduce a system which aims to moderate certain undesirable behaviours.

Moderation is a very hard problem but I'm open to ideas
Do you mean image uploader support for webp?

Yes the image matey updangler.
Moderation ideas: a report button, list of mods, visibly identifiable mods, enforcing the existing rules, perhaps updating the rules (and faq).

I'm nearly sure I looked at webp before but it shouldn't be hard to add
the uploader is really just a file store so it doesn't care.
That sort of moderation is really up to Rob and not me, I'm just the hired help. Can't do nay harm to ask him.

Then it's really odd that nearly every other forum has incorporated them, isn't it.

I have looked at it recently and spotted some issues
Is it the talk archive that's the problem?

I'm not sure about the other boards
but talk's archive hasn't been working for a long time.
I can look at my old posts but if I try to look at the linked threads nothing is shown.

Isn't that just because your old posts were so shit the entire threads had to be redacted?
I assumed that's what's happening with my shit old posts, because I'm having the same issue.

I'm too shit to kiss.
A gentle fisting will do just nicely though.

I switched that off earlier
Some hacker was trying something through it so I decided to cut them off. It will be back once they stop.
