>>9726 Not migrateanon, but inspired by the APNG thread picking up steam on >>>/v/1031284 is there any way the frontend or backend could be modified so APNG playback could start in the browser automatically without the restrictions of a 220 x 220 px and 25kb size limit? I really think that adopting modern web and compression standards like AVIF, JXL, and the new jpegli encoder will not only help cut down on bandwidth usage dramatically without sacrificing quality but also enable a rich media content experience that will attract a wider user base. I'm very much a benchmark and optimization guy so I want the site to have the best operation. I can shoot you an e-mail if you would like.
>>9729 The APNG thing is an oversight that's been known for some time, but APNGs are exceedingly rare so it wasn't high priority enough to fix. Basically, if you are below certain thresholds then no thumbnail is generated and the raw image can be used as its own thumbnail. Ironically enough, to make all APNGs have animated thumbnails I think would require fixing the oversight, since it means detecting and treating APNGs differently from regular PNGs and having an encoding pipeline to resize them without breaking them. >AVIF and JPEGXL support This is on my radar and I would like to push forward with it. I was actually expecting to be able to enable them a few months ago, but we ran into a memory leak issue with ImageMagick which delayed the whole thing. But I do think the delegates are in place once that issue is resolved.

whats the general wait time for e-mail confirmation?
>>9733 E-mails from the backend often get hard blocked by spam filters (not sent to spam, just outright deleted). If they do not arrive in the first 30 minutes, please send an e-mail to codexx (at) cock (dot) li from the e-mail attached to your account, and please include your username on the site (case-sensitive) so we can manually verify.

The site is taking a bit of a beating today. Don't know if its bad actors or election traffic craziness or some combination of the two. We're on it though, and mitigating it. Frontends, backends, network relays, almost everything has suffered some kind of "hiccup" over the past 18 hours, so its hard to think its coincidence, and its not the kind of "load cascade failure" that you'd get just from traffic spikes.

<mark and whoever runs the twitter are out there campaigning to further restrict the legal free speech of the site by throwing acid under the bus for not banning /zoo/ <while the site already has a soy "uhm the lolis are all 18+ ok" disclaimer which capitulates to those who don't know the difference between 2D (based) and 3D (cringe) <And >>9686 the site complies with DMCA from fucking INDIA

What are the rules of posting non-pornographic images from a random person's instagram/facebook on a porn board in a pornographic context?
>>9744 Also +18, so it's not a hebe situation
Are these spammers? The owner of /loli/ has returned...
>>9744 >>9745 Fine. Just keep in mind that they can DMCA request the files. There's also revenge porn laws in the US and that you could run afoul of. But without someone complaining there's no way for us to know there's a problem with them.
What is the board flag limit?
>>9750 I think it's 128 or 256. Most boards should not hit it.
(2.23 KB 142x16 flags.png)

(3.13 KB 178x24 banners.png)

>>9751 >I think it's 128 or 256. pics related are confusing because it's in the same spot as the banner limit but says "length" >Most boards should not hit it. Pre-existing boards with a culture centered around user-made flags definitely need it higher
>>9752 What do you think is a reasonable limit for such a board?
>>9754 512
(12.30 KB 465x54 flag.jpg)

>>9751 >>9752 >>9754 No not banners. Flags.
>>9752 Although I do agree that the board banner limit should be raised too. Compared to everything else it can't take up that much storage.
>>9756 Pretty sure everyone present already knows we are discussing flags. I only posted the banner limit to give context for why the flag page is confusing, hence the filenames "flags.png" and "banners.png"

So if anybody has been wondering why the Fighting Game thread on >>>/v/ has been weird all day I've been trying to upload some files that kept being rejected despite their compliance with the size limit. It's a 4K60fps capture of Aquapazza to celebrate its release on Steam, but the site always glitches out when I try to upload it. I'm going to try to upload it one last time to see if it gets cached but if it doesn't show up I have an UL on Catbox to demonstrate. I don't know if it's site-specific but the file plays back fine on different devices and I've tried differing browse environments and IPs to try to isolate the cause. In general I want an edit feature unless I'm too stupid to figure out the preexisting one so I don't artificially bump threads like this to try to fix a post; perhaps a public history can be viewed to prevent bad actors from abusing it.
>>9756 >>9757 >>9758 I was discussing flags. Banners are 256 and Flags are 128. They aren't large due to the size limits, although they can add up. Keep in mind we need to support every board having upwards of that many. >>9755 I'll crunch some numbers and look at updating both banners and flags to go to 512
Is there a way that you can break webp image support?
The usability issue >>9569 still persists. Basically, ID selection doesn't work as smoothly as on 4chan: you can't undone it unless you refresh the page. Probably not too hard to fix.
Expand max thumbnail size from 220x220 to 256x256 so old game screenshots aren't fucked by bilinear downscale.
>>9766 Does this mean that the new max dimensions for an .apng has increased as well?

>>9767 Does "interboard" mean "bilingual board" here?
>>9770 Interboard means that other boards (including on other sites) are invited to announce events and participate there. It's to encourage users to meet anons from other boards and enjoy the holiday together. The board is multilingual because the organizer also wants to bring together anons across language barriers.
>>9766 >Expand max thumbnail size from 220x220 to 256x256 so old game screenshots aren't fucked by bilinear downscale. Or for bandwidth, use originals as thumbnails if originals are 256x256 or less.
Where's the Java snow Acid/Codexx?
You've gotta contact shotakot to bring /sm/ back. ATF is down.
>>9775 Yes PLEASE.
