    @phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic. @phenomlab said in Ch..ch..ch..ch..changes!: Sadly, no. Web crawlers and scrapers are often JS based and read text only, so styles don’t have any bearing. I’ve read mixed things about this, but no that does make sense, it was something I read a many years back when using Wordpress.

    I’ve noticed that I’m the only one subscribed to the push notifications on this site. If you were using NTFY previously, and have noticed that you’ve not had any alerts for a while, it’s because this feature has been disabled. You’ll now need to use the push notification to replace NTFY as mentioned in the first post.

    I relented somewhat here and added another swatch - one I missed, which was previous called “blackout”. This specific one has been adapted to work on the new theming engine, but the others have been reclassified, and renamed to suit. [image: 1693924764891-d7f3a7a1-9702-4238-99bd-5c0e0d53f244-image.png] As a result, the theme you might have had will probably be reflecting something else, so you (might) need to change your themes accordingly. The changes are as follows Light -> No Change Cloudy -> Is now the old “Dim” Dim -> Is now the old “Dark” Dark -> Now a new theme based on the revamped “Blackout”

    I was experiencing 500 (Internal Server Error) responses from the proxy, visible in the browser console: GET https://proxy.xxx-xxx.net/ogproxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fzupimages.net%2Fup%2F26%2F16%2Fld8h.jpg 500 (Internal Server Error) After investigation, I found two root causes: 1. Direct image URLs being sent to the proxy The custom JavaScript responsible for detecting links and sending them to the proxy was using the following regex to exclude direct image links: var fileExtensionPattern = /\.(png|jpeg|gif|pdf|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?|zip|rar|svg)$/i; Note that .jpg and .webp were missing from the pattern. As a result, links ending in .jpg were not recognized as direct image URLs and were forwarded to the OGProxy, which then tried to scrape them as web pages using open-graph-scraper — causing a 500 error. The fix was to add the missing extensions: var fileExtensionPattern = /\.(jpg|png|jpeg|gif|pdf|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?|zip|rar|svg|webp)$/i; 2. The proxy not following HTTP redirects Some image hosting services (e.g. zupimages.net) return a 301 redirect from the bare domain to www. When curl follows the redirect manually the image loads fine: curl -IL https://zupimages.net/up/26/16/ld8h.jpg HTTP/2 301 → https://www.zupimages.net/up/26/16/ld8h.jpg HTTP/2 200 However, the proxy’s axios.get() call does not handle this gracefully when open-graph-scraper is involved, resulting in a 500 error being returned to the client. My questions are: Is there a known best practice for handling redirect chains in open-graph-scraper? Would passing maxRedirects or followRedirect options explicitly to axios or ogs fix this reliably? Is there a cleaner way to pre-filter direct image/file URLs before they reach the proxy, ideally at the NodeBB plugin level rather than in custom JS? Thanks in advance.

    @Madchatthew True. I think this is the reason as to why most Open Source projects are abandoned because they are not sustainable in the long-term.

    @qwinter very well put. Great points and I can certainly align with these. I personally don’t see no university as a barrier to progression. My old boss said that he’d take preference with anyone who had a degree because of their “ability to think logically” (I kid you not). I said “well, you hired me and I don’t have a degree…”. He paused for a moment realising that he’d literally dug himself a hole and fell in it. He then said “ah yes, but you’re an exception”. “Exception” or not - it’s still a bigoted reasoning mechanism, and elitist to put it mildly. Class distinction springs to mind here.
