We need a replacement for ScratchDB.

EDawg2011

It keeps breaking, and it impacts sites like postpercent and Ocular, so we need a replacement; can anyone help us code it?
I'm not a good ATer.

Please note that I may sometimes make a mistake and give wrong information.

Can you please put this at/near the top of your signature and tell people that tag spam isn't allowed and it manipulates the algorithm, to start a chain and spread the word? - Thanks, @EDawg2011.

But then I had a very good idea. I used F5. See, using F5 gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see a chest I couldn't have seen before.

Coding it would take a long time. It's not a good solution.

Cool. Can you send me the GitHub once it's done?

Funnily enough, @josueart and I were working on something similar for Snazzle.

python version:

Even if someone had the time to build it, I'm guessing you'd need a lot of storage

have fun finding >6TB (iirc) of storage.

This is my signature, and appears below eeevvvveeerrrryyy post I write
Try out Ocular

Good evening. I am a gerbil. Are you a gerbil? I know I am. Gerbils are possibly the most important beings in the universe; they are super intelligent and they eat carrots so we don't have to.
If you are reading this, you're probably thinking one of 3 things:

This dude's not a gerbil, he's a pufferfish/human/bison/whatever other organism/inanimate object you mistakenly believe I am.
Why am I reading this????????
I'm hungry

The first one is INCORRECT, and I'm going to have to ask you not to spread that false rumour.
The second one is a valid question, and one that has no satisfactory answer other than that you're really ,really, really bored.
As for the 3rd one - so am I. You're not alone.

I use a third of that for storing my games, and you can actually go on Amazon and get 8TB hard drives (dunno about SSDs)

As of like 2021 scratchdb had 400gb of data

Maybe @DatOneLefty could make the code open source so someone else can try to host it. If they are still actively developing it, they'll probably fix the problems soon tho.

I'm sort of making a replacement* that works but it's very basic right now, if anyone wants me to host it I can

* really it's just a cache/proxy for scratchdb

so, literally scratchdb but it's slower?

If the thing you request isn't cached, yes. If it is then it'll be much faster, since scratchdb takes >10 seconds to do anything and the cache is basically instant.

The other advantage is that it's more stable and is actively maintained.

How long does the cache last? A week? A month? A year? What if ScratchDB goes down for an extended period? Isn't there a point where it gets so inaccurate, it's not worth it anymore?

/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

/srs

^^^ (there's more below)
This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s

I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs

Really? I thought 500GB was a lot for 1 hard drive (and a few gigabytes for one file too)

500gb is relatively small. You can buy a 24tb hard drive for $300

The cache lasts forever (or until it gets overwritten by new data). You decide how old the data you get can be before it gets refreshed with an http header, or it defaults to something like 30 seconds (i haven't decided yet). If ScratchDB goes down you get the newest cached data. Old data is better than no data in most cases, and if you only want new data there will be an option to return an error instead of old data.

Okay, I haven’t been paying attention in years and my old mac had 1TB, which I thought was a lot tool

It is for a laptop, the 24tb ones are mostly for servers

Update: it’s hosted at mercury.davidtheplatform.eu.org. Just replace scratchdb.lefty.one with that url and keep everything after the / the same
