The booru is now migrated!
>>33906That being said.
Great. Fucking. Migration. Didn't know i needed all of this these new features. So much better.
Is the migration still happening? links to posts in threads on /leftypol/ don't work.
>>33911cancel that and delet these two posts pls, I can't delet
>>33911 because of a password issue.
>>33906I'll try and fix that, or at least not make it click the wrong link.
Shimmie (the base software) expects Source to always be a simple link and I had just quickly hacked a fix to make it show plain text unless it starts with 'http', which you've just proved was a false assumption; starting with 'http' doesn't mean someone only entered a link.
>>33907Glad you love it! booru.org was basically stuck on 15 year old software, so even the relatively lightweight Shimmie is far ahead in most areas. The tag autocomplete is like night and day.
BOORU MODS PLEASE REMOVE THIS EDIT I MADE
https://lefty.pictures/post/view/24470I MADE A MISTAKE AND FORGOT TO EDIT THE WAGNER PATCH FROM THE ORIGINAL, THE EDIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ENTIRELY WAR ON DRUGS THEMED.
I'VE REUPLOADED THE PROPER EDIT UNDER THE SAME TAGS. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ONE.
>>39411Matrix channel is so fucking dead
>>39411No need to yell everywhere, comrade. One report is enough, we're not always online so sometimes it takes a little time to respond.
The initial copy is deleted now :)
>>39418You're welcome, friend. Thanks for uploading and tagging.
lefty.pictures is down
FIX IT, NOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
>>39560It's up again. The host had an outage for about an hour, no announcement yet.
>>39861>Someone, somehow is deleting uploads for NO reason.I'm looking into this now.
I can't find the file you attached anywhere in my hourly backups (there are no 3000x3500 images at all there). That would either mean it was deleted within the hour (before a backup was made) or wasn't successfully uploaded. I'm guessing you are sure it was posted, so I'm taking this very seriously. (if you happen to have the date uploaded, such as a file date modified timestamp on your disk, that would be helpful)
I've downloaded the list of files currently on the booru and compared them to all the files in the hourly backups, to find all files which were uploaded during or after the June 2024 migration and are no longer on the booru (as long as they were up long enough to be saved in the hourly backups) - I can't see any Leninhat, ushanka or Stalinstasches.
I also checked my old lefty.booru.org backup and couldn't see any in there matching the description. How long ago would you guess that image was uploaded? (if it was over a year ago, it would have been on the old site, which rules out a software issue)
Let me know if there are any others you remember which have gone missing.
>>39861>On top of that, people aren't fucking tagging their uploads at all. Random images have maybe 1-3 tags at a time.I can add a minimum 5 tag requirement on uploads, rejecting their uploads with an error message if they don't have enough tags.
I didn't do it before because I don't want to discourage people from uploading. IMO a garbage tagme upload is usually better than no post at all, unless it's a repeated issue like with those lazy Grace uploads. But now that I think about it, it's probably fine to enforce a minimum 5 tags. Even low-content posts which are harder for new users to tag should still be able to reach 5 tags.
As a related side note, I've built this feature a few days ago to help keep track of tag quality:
https://github.com/shish/shimmie2/pull/1504It's not added yet, because Shimmie changed how user permissions work and I still need to handle that with our code before I can upgrade leftybooru.
>>401165 tag minimum is a good idea, it'll also help filter out some of the very low effort content
>>40115 Don't have an exact time, because I uploaded weeks ago but I THINK it was Feb 6th. I uploaded it, fixed some tags and moved on, so if it got deleted within an hour I wasn't aware.
I'm vaguely aware of some files I remember being on the booru under certain tags not coming up, but no certainty on tags not being changed/fixed and since the old booru got deleted I can't check if my hunches are correct or not.
>>39861None of the staff say they deleted the image, and I don't see any reason why they would, nor is it easy to click by accident.
Maybe someone fat-fingered a bulk delete, but I don't think that's likely.
Post numbers increment each time a post is added to the list, so if a post is uploaded, that number goes up one. A missing post number means an uploaded post is gone.
The only missing post numbers added between Jan 31 and Feb 20 are: (dates in UTC)
>24528 [3rd Feb] Deleted, off-topic TikTok of someone pouring piss bottles on themselves>24532 [4/5th Feb] Meme video attached, will confirm with staff if it was deleted or not.>24534 [5th Feb] Deleted, off-topic generic IRL porn>24540 [7th Feb] ….I can't find it in my hourly backupsUnfortunately the server only keeps access and error logs for 14 days (the default) so I can't dig much further, but if you saw that post page and fixed tags then it was successfully uploaded to the site, so I assume it was #24540. If your browser has
https://lefty.pictures/post/view/24540 in the browser history, then it means you visited the view page before the post disappeared.

Rodong has enabled the trash extension, which adds a 'recycle bin' to allow deleted files to be recovered. I'm not sure if it would help this specific situation but it might save us pain down the line.
>>40203Oh well. Thanks for the effort anyway Discomrade
>>40433Have you ever logged into the new site (lefty.pictures), as opposed to the old site with all the ads (lefty.booru.org) ?
We migrated from the dying booru.org site to a new site in June 2024, and while we could look at and copy over account names, their posts, comments, favorites, etc., we don't have access to passwords and so we can't copy them over. So users have to claim their old accounts on the new site, until then they won't allow you to log in. Looking at the error message on the server, that's my guess of what's happening.
If you have a matrix.org account, send a message to me (
[email protected]) and I'll set your account up with a password so you can log in.
>>40439I logged in roughly several months ago on the new site (back around October). I've uploaded since then but I've been so busy that I did so anonymously. I don't have a Matrix acct at the moment, never used it before tbh. I'm a pretty busy this week so if I'll give it a shot if I have the time. Thanks for the quick response.
>>40440No worries, good luck. Worst case scenario, I can change the uploader for those anon ones over to your account later.
>>40551Also the same thing for anarcha_feminist
tags like
>anfem, anarcho-feminist, anarcho_feminist should be made aliases for easier searches
>>40551>>40556Good call, done.
>>41651Done, I just resized the large one from its top left corner so that I could select the small one and delete it. Thanks for the notes, comrade.
>>41674
This isn't the flags or tech thread, my comrade.
Should we change the OP image to a screenshot of the front page to reduce confusion?
>>41675LMAO You're right, I opened the wrong thread by mistake
not sure if this is related but the tsuki theme is completely broken, enable it and you'll see what i mean
>>41776>somehow got a profile on the booru?By clicking two buttons and typing two words?
But yeah I'll forward that to the Matrix chat, thanks.
>>41776>>41800The NED agent is still there
Why is the file size upload still only a maximum of 16 MB? Let us upload proper videos, increase to at least 80 MB.
>>42291>meme pic of ml vs liberal idpolif that's the intention it's not clear enough. it seemed like another one of those rightoid memes going "haha you soy commies would be killed in the regime you support"
>>42333Uh no, it really doesn't. It's meaning is pretty damn obvious, liberals facing the wall has been a meme on leftypol since the 8ch days.
>>42251There are a couple of reasons I haven't increased the filesize limit:
1) The booru isn't designed for proper video media. A PeerTube site like kolektiva.media or tankie.tube is much more appropriate for videos.
2) Leftybooru hosts edgy, radical political content. I also only have certain payment methods available to me. This limits the providers we can use without making the site vulnerable to takedown, and given that we've been raided before (poorly) I'm hesitant to open the site up to that. I make hourly backups so we wouldn't lose anything, but it's a pain.
These providers aren't cheap and I'm not ready to pay hundreds of dollars or have others waste that money just so people can reupload entire documentaries that really should be hosted on video tube websites instead.
Now that you've heard my perspective, why do you need "proper videos" uploaded to Leftybooru? If there's a good reason I'm open to changing the file size limit. ("Leftypol does it" is not a good reason.)
PLEASE add a dark theme for the booru
https://lefty.pictures/forum/view/90/1This blue-ish white background is an eyesore.
Please add a dark theme (picrel) JUST ADD A DARK THEME PLEASE IT TAKES SECONDS, PLEASE ADD A DARK THEME, THE CURRENT THEME IS AN EYESORE PLEASE ADD A DARK THEME.
>>43208There needs to be a button for it or it to be on by default not to have to inspect element each time or run a fucking tampermonkey script shit
