/u/Robin - FYI I created a torrent of it and am seeding it. Feel free to join in.

EDIT: /u/Robin & /u/WikiSpooks I created another torrent of the recent one and am seeding it too. Also, you might want to know about the Chrome and Brave browser problem and solution with your scripts (see elsewhere in these comments).

Good work!

How large? I have over a terabyte free, hundreds of gigabytes of easy-to-delete files I no longer need that I can free up for more space, and love hosting things that help others. This is one thing that shouldn't require much setup at all, as I already have a torrent hosting system.

Doh!

There's a new one since 3 days ago. Weekly now it seems.

Includes:

  • Setting up and running a Copy Of The Site

  • Troubleshooting

  • Running A Live Site Mirror

/u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr - Maybe there's something to be learned from the way WikiSpooks does this Site Backup stuff. I'm no coder but maybe. Or maybe it's just a way to kick-start a SaidIt Wiki.

FYI Robin, founder of WikiSpooks joined SaidIt. My Brave browser has problems viewing his articles but my old Firefox on my other box doesn't. Weird.

WikiSpooks doesn't share via bittorrent or webtorrent - yet.

My mobile Chrome doesn't like their pages either. Yes this is an impressive site backup. SaidIt and InfoGalactic could and should be doing something similar.

SOLUTION: "Open your Shields panel and change your script control to Block scripts - page should render as expected."

I think this is the equivalent of saying just turn off javascript for that page. It might technically work but it's a workaround and wikispooks is still shitting the bed. I might dig into it if I get bored.

"Shitting the bed"?

He's tech savvy so unlike me he'll likely know what you mean.

I just mean that wikispooks.com definitely has a big JavaScript bug. I commented such on a Rixon post, hopefully he'll fix it or awknowledge the issue soon.

He started as /u/WikiSpooks but because I wasn't sure if it was him or others from WS or elsewhere, I asked them to clarify by changing it to "WikiSpooks_Robin" or something. He came back as /u/Robin and said he'd parked the /u/WikiSpooks handle (also since it was being spoofed with a similar name). I don't know much about Rixon or if they're affiliated with WikiSpooks. I also don't know how much or often Robin will be visiting SaidIt. I hope a lot.

Sadly, that add-on is now defunct as I didn't bother to keep it updated.

Maybe you'd like to join this conversation and app development: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/c4h/saiditnet_feb_5_2019_minor_site_fixes_and_updates/nkh

Also check out that Rixon post /u/d3rr mentioned (link?) and address the WikiSpooks JavaScript bug.

Re the JS bug - does it occur on all pages or only some?

[–]JasonCarswellDAT Mod[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I can't speak to the Chrome app, but as far as my Brave browser goes, it was happening to all of the pages you posted as WikiSpooks and as Robin - until I deactivated the script. The guys at Brave are very helpful and technically savvy and may be able to help you better. They might even be able to help you improve the site beyond just the JavaScript stuff.
