Also installed my favorite YouTube tweak back onto my iPhone — no ads on my phone again!

@JxstErg1 Hello!

I’ve always been fascinated how complex behavior arises from simple rules and back in the day I used to point my video camera at the tv and watch the complex patterns form

Lately I have been watching this in the browser and enjoying it just as much to see the lifeforms spawn and mutate

For me the settings to get a good 50-60 fps on this crap computer are
2D
particle number 3000
rectangle wrap arena
turn off circle pixel shape
particle size 10

but if you have a good computer then the defaults might be ok ?

Tired because I’ve been going to school for Front End Dev. for 7 months (so I’m not on the forum often)
and now for the last 50 days nonstop React + Redux and a ton of other npm installations.

Projects are usually such that you have to deal with 4-7 different languages ​​within one app :roll_eyes:

Thanks for the question, how are you?

Welcome back! I seemed to have some problems recognizing you at first, probably because I’m not used to huge username changes…

I am good , Used to be in a Jr role somewhere but had to quit as of I am resuming my education once again … Sorry for replying everything in different replies cause edit option ain’t available yet for me or I am just missing it.

Hopefully you recognized now , Why am I not allowed to view your site :pensive_face:

I think you might be in a country I blocked on my WAF before… I disabled the WAF rule that blocks accesses from countries that have suspected bots, even because Cloudflare Pages can handle the traffic that comes to my website very well and also handles most bots (though for the rest I still have the remaining four rules in Oxy’s guide about how to protect websites on Cloudflare), so try now and see if you can access it!

Yup , I can access it now… When is the last time you updated it? I remember seeing a very much similar layout last time while I was here.

Finally I can edit the replies now.

I updated the Projects page on April 19th, though the rest was left the same; now you reminded me to update the Projects page with the right information about the projects I maintain, and while I’m at it I’m also going to update the home page. All the pages I named are now updated as I spoke, but the rest is left unchanged.

Anyway the style is still the same; if something works well I guess I’ll have to keep it :sweat_smile:

And well, I also forgot to say that for you to edit posts, you had to be at least TL1; that level of activity is enough to earn that.

In my case I am bound to break things in the name of updating or Making it better…

About the Trust Level… I pretty much forgot how exactly those basically assigned (Pretty sure it’s based on Activity but not sure what each Trust Level Grants)

Don’t tell me how many times I broke the former contact form’s server-side logic, which was written in PHP, when my website was hosted here before I made it static… Just for a single semicolon missing from the end of my echos :rofl::rofl::rofl:

After I added those semicolons missing, everything started to work anyway, and I also made it so I could change CAPTCHA integrations by changing the POST endpoint (and the POST field name for the CAPTCHA response) on the server-side logic. In those years I tried Cloudflare’s Turnstile, reCAPTCHA v3 (and probably even v2 Checkbox) and hCaptcha, the last one of which I’m still using actively.

Only the first three levels are granted by activity, based on how many likes and replies you gave on posts and topics (and for the former also the ones you were given), and topics you have read, and also how much time you visited the forum or you spent reading posts; TL3 also requires your posts not to be flagged more than 5 times and you to not be suspended or silenced in the past 6 months and has a grace period after you obtained it during which you won’t be demoted, but after which, if you’re not active enough, can get you back to TL2; the last one (TL4, which is what I have) is granted by a moderator or the forum’s owner, which is in this case Admin. Anyway, here’s the blog post that explains everything about trust levels and tells you more about the things you grant with every trust level:
