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.

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

Yeah, I can make a replacement tomorrow

Cool. Can you send me the GitHub once it's done?
bruh not old enough for github account

Funny enough, I HAVE ONE.

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

shameless plug moment hehe

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.

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?

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
