    We need more people writing stupid userscripts for this site. Those are always so much fun to play with.

      @redenchilada I dunno how to write userscripts, only AutoHotKey scripts, and not very well anymore.

        @flamingpandaomg They're just JavaScript injected into the page. Like how userstyles inject CSS. It'd probably be a bit to learn to do much to the site.

          @redenchilada Yeah, I have literally no scripting experience. I always wanted to learn, but the lessons I were taking didn't last long before they got put on the backburner.

            @flamingpandaomg Hey, I learned a lot of what I know about JS by goofing off with userscripts for this site. It's a pretty easy language to learn until you get into the stupid parts of it.

              @redenchilada I literally taught myself to use nginx for this place.

                  @redenchilada Learn PGSql to replace the backend.

                    @ceruleanspark Do you really want me to touch anything that might be vital to the site working

                      @redenchilada They let me touch it. I don't see how you could be any worse. Yesterday I managed to delete all my webserver configs by overwriting them with symlinks to themselves.

                        @ceruleanspark I'd half-finish stuff and let it go up. "We can fix that whole 'everything crashes after five minutes of uptime' issue later."

                          @redenchilada I do that all the time. Remember the "Cloudflare means everyone logs in as someone else" issue?

                              @redenchilada Because Cloudflare uses an Nginx reverse proxy for its cache-and-accelerate deal, all requests appear to come from the same limited pool of cloudflare IPs, with the real IPs showing up in a different part of the header. Nginx, which we're running here, by default, does not pass the required info on to statusnet. The practical upshot of that is that every time a new person logged in, all users ended up being logged into that persons account.

                                  @redenchilada I only just figured out how to fix that problem too.

                                      @redenchilada I sent the proposed fix to Widget this weekend and he favourited the link, so presumably he's thinking of implementing it. I'd like to point out that when I turned cloudflare on to buffer @mrdragon's server, it cut bandwidth usage by a full third.

              @redenchilada I might get around to it. I'm not doing anything else that's even close to productive.
