Anyhow, I had a few ideas on how to deal with rate limiting - a) have a few accounts to post the uno details and alternate between which bot posts, b) post images less frequently and get people to refresh the page more or c) post images only when requested by users

Obviously each solution has its drawbacks and impracticalities

But they're just ideas at this stage

Also, what happens if someone starts on one device and needs to switch to another?

Or what if they want to play on another device on the same account?

Maybe there should be a $verify command that allows you to verify a new device as needed

@lyxal d) post a message every three seconds and amalgamate them together

lyxal

That could work too

emanresu A

Hm, for verification maybe just wait

lyxal

Wdym wait?

I'm mid uno and need to go from computer to phone

I kinda need to have it instant switch :p

emanresu A

05:38

Wait between posting verification messages

lyxal

You only need to post one and every one reply to that, right?

emanresu A

Ah true lol

By moving messages, you can pin messages without being a room owner or moderator

Look in trash

I own the trash and I unpinned them

Oh yeah lol

John Militer

I am curious as to why this hasn't been patched even after such a long time

Chat never worked, so they never have to fix it

John Militer

Yeah that sounds about right

@lyxal verification is a problem because of the... questionable way I've implemented it

also should I unpin those moved messages? :p

Ginger

Wow is NPSP fast when I run the speed-optimized version on an actual server

I'm going to leave it running with no auto-restart to see how long it can stay up without something killing it

@emanresuA Wdym

Posting stuff every 3 seconds would get you ratelimited almost instantly

Even every 10s it'll eventually start limiting you

It has happened :/

NP/SP is so fast that sometimes it posts things before SE knows they exist

Lemme test something

Q: Does it repeat?

A string of characters repeats if it contains two consecutive substrings that are equivalent. For example, 2034384538452 repeats as it contains 3845 twice, consecutively. Therefore, your challenge is to decide whether a string contains a repeating substring. You may take the input as a string o...

Okay so yeah it will let you edit a message without changing the contents, maybe I could use that to post things instantly still, and if they don't onebox it can edit and hopefully trigger a onebox

I'll just do what I did for NPSP 1.0, and that's query the API repeatedly until the post shows up on it

But I want to wait a few days so that I can see if the issue can occur for sandbox posts or not

I don't believe it can, since post 2140 exists no matter what
