I‘m seeing only 5 rants in my Recent list. "Load more" doesn’t work. Algo sorting produces an error.

Every day devRant becomes more and more broken.

It would be nice to know what's going on, huh?

- Aging hardware?

- Unpaid bills?

- Full Storage Space?

- DDOS?

- Hand of dOG?

Jokes aside, yeah - would be nice to know.

@D-4got10-01

If we think about it rationally, we can exclude every single point in your list, except for the hand of dog! :)

@Lensflare The hand of the dOG is unpredictable, indeed.

Anyway, perhaps the DB has been cluttered over the years.

@D-4got10-01 Actually it's very simple (I noticed it long time ago with all the different tools I made for devrant), it just only goes as far as 7d back. Notice how the oldest rant in the list is always no more than 7d.

So it's not a software or hardware or server (or etc') bug, it's just a lack of posts. When devRant was still being worked on, 7 days worth of rants was probably enough for them to consider as the "cutoff" point [shrugg emoji]
Why not just limit by number of posts(or not limit at all?) I don't know.

Also yes, I am alive. Hi everyone.
Just busy with wars.
But I do scroll through the rants once in a few weeks.

Love y'all

Also I don't wanna promise thing because I tend to decide to do something, and then by the time I get to actually doing it, it'll be like 500 years. But I do have a "rolling" backup of all of devrant's rants which is updated daily with new rants, which, already MONTHS ago, I planned(still plan to) to give it a pulic API and a basic frontend(as a website) which would give access to the backup, so that if the website gets down, the content is archived. Specifically it would also allow scrolling back more than 7d.

The main purpose was/is I have a plan to, if devrant dies and I or one of y'all decide to make devrant 2 electric boogaloo, old posts wouldn't get lost.

I think devplace is our best shot at devrant 2.

I posted a rant about what's going on here but got no reply. Luckily, I saw your post on my feed. I’m not familiar with the devplace.net everyone’s talking about, but it seems to have a more serious vibe, whereas devRant feels more laid-back and cool.

@SoldierOfCode > 'Also yes, I am alive. Hi everyone.'.

Glad you're still around.

Huh. This would actually make sense.

@whimsical Yeah, thanks but no thanks, I would very much rather keep away from that AI mess of a place.

@whimsical Still, no thanks

@SoldierOfCode That's awesome. I was thinking about trying to use some of the libraries people have posted to "Backup" all my posts on here, but considering the state of the site, even doing so would probably crush the rest of the system. I had one from a while back with like +300 point .. it was about something really sad that happened on the work that made me think about my life.

Lot of great times here. Too bad it's all falling apart slowly instead of just being shot out of its misery.
