General Discussion

Persona is under BSD 2-Caluse license, but it's functionally equivalent to MIT (from my understanding there is a slight ambiguity in MIT with regards to binary distribution, while BSD is explicit about requiring copyright and license notice in that case too. But this doesn't really apply here and even if it did, just doing that guarantees you're in compliance with both anyway)

@julian

So you mean use the link button

😲 7 cans short of a six pack here... best of luck with the extra mush!

@phenomlab I understand up writing a WAF rule that bypass bot fight mode for Googles ASN and Bings ASN so long as the user agent matches.

This works out because both Microsoft and Google use a different ASN for services like bing and Google search, than what they use for their cloud service offerings.

Thank you @baris , Thank you @oplik0

I will check with those search plugins one by one.

@ayc868 I was gonna delete this as spam but turns out https://forums.gta5-mods.com/ is indeed using NodeBB.

Thanks 🙂

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-ntfy this plugin comes bundled in 3.x

in nodebb-plugin-dbsearch, query is $text - $search (not $regex).
I understand why.

You would use the hook 'action:meta.override404' and do a helpers.redirect(res, '/'); You might have to copy some of the code from https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/controllers/404.js#L24-L44. So you don't redirect requests to javascript files to the homepage for example.

There seems to be something about NodeBB thats not helping, especially when user signs up with a gmail.
This also happened on two other forums that were having same issue till they gave up. I remember one used Zoho mail which was good for reliability in all other cases.
Its concerning, and I keep mentioning it because of the significance this could have.

You can drag items from there to the navigation on the left.

@fbmac I don't really hate the articles, it's just not clear that it's satire 🙂 but I do not have control over what other people do with their websites.

Put this in your Custom Javascript in the ACP:

$(() => app.require('hooks').then((hooks) => { hooks.on('action:composer.enhanced', ({ postContainer }) => { postContainer.find('textarea.write').on('keydown', function (e) { if (e.key == 'Tab') { e.preventDefault(); var start = this.selectionStart; var end = this.selectionEnd; // set textarea value to: text before caret + tab + text after caret this.value = this.value.substring(0, start) + "\t" + this.value.substring(end); // put caret at right position again this.selectionStart = this.selectionEnd = start + 1; } }); }); }));

I'm trying to understand the legal implications of allowing EU residents to create accounts on a US based forum. Is it sufficient to place verbiage in the ToS that requires acceptance of data residency in the US?

For example

Are there any other clauses that need to be clearly identified? We do state the identifiers collected when creating an account

Any gotchas to be wary of? or any advice in general would be much appreciated.

@julian

My assumption is more nefarious

Yes, depending on what the code is and how unsuspecting the target forum/service owner it.
You'd think that would be a one time payment though. "Here, put this plugin on your site, it does this little thing and we'll pay you $200/month for that". It would not be user count based which is why I was thinking they are gaining more data when more users are providing it.

I cannot imagine how many think they are making a few bucks every month but causing massive problems on the Internet unknowingly.

@eeeee Good of you to spot this and even share it.

@NodeHam My assumption is more nefarious... I think it is to build out a botnet. At a single command all connected clients will spam a target 😬

This will be in core in 3.3.0 https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/11842

Hay @baris ,

(https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-mentions/blob/master/static/autofill.js#L94)

This works for me for this . Thanks

@eeeee Because a 1080 pixel mobile screen does not mean 1080px wide. If you look at how responsive CSS works in Bootstrap (breakpoints) you'll see what I mean.

@media (min-width:320px) { /* smartphones, iPhone, portrait 480x320 phones */ } @media (min-width:481px) { /* portrait e-readers (Nook/Kindle), smaller tablets @ 600 or @ 640 wide. */ } @media (min-width:641px) { /* portrait tablets, portrait iPad, landscape e-readers, landscape 800x480 or 854x480 phones */ } @media (min-width:961px) { /* tablet, landscape iPad, lo-res laptops ands desktops */ } @media (min-width:1025px) { /* big landscape tablets, laptops, and desktops */ } @media (min-width:1281px) { /* hi-res displays */ }

The "sweet spot" for most mobile devices sits at around 767px
