Yep, I had to delete my old certificate and generate a new one. I guess it's fixed for good.

I've reverted to the previous settings and it's also working for me now.

All is good with Tor!
Thank you

[fillippone]

If you guys could check now @fillippone @minairia3

Everything is fine now.
Italian board meta update has been timely delivered.
Thank you TryNinja for the incredible effort on your website!

I've also reverted to the original settings, and my Tor browser is now working again. Thanks TryNinja for your amazing work!
Sometimes I wish I could also post to the forum through the ninjastic.space search engine, rather than just read it.

Looks like my certificate got caught in the middle of the last Let's Encrypt bug.

First it was BPIP website, now ninjastic.space affected by that let's encrypt bug, but in my case everything worked just fine.
Not sure why some users are affected and some not, but it could be because if specific browser settings that are not the same for everyone.

It's interesting that my issue happened before the letsencrypt revocation was supposed to start and I think the error message was different. Not sure if they had another problem earlier or it's part of the same screwup.

But yeah some browsers are handling the revocations differently. There are privacy concerns with that too (the server your browser asks about revocations will know which sites you're browsing).

As suggested in this post, I've added a button on the search page to hide results from specific topics.



For example:

1. You get 3 results for your search. Post 1 and 2 were made on topic A, while post 3 was made on topic B;
2. You click "Ignore Topic" on the post 1 or 2, ignoring their parent topic (A);
3. Both post 1 and 2 will be hidden, leaving only the post 3 in the page.

This will be the case for all searches until you refresh the page.

The topics that were created in one board and then moved into another board do not have any updated information about the new board they have been moved to.

For example, this post was originally in Bitcoin Discussion, and then it was moved to Marketplace altcoin, but when you specifically add Marketplace altcoin as one of the search options, the post won't appear in the search results. According to ninjastic space, it's as though the post is still in Bitcoin discussion.

It's almost impossible to do that.
In order to have information about the new location of the posts, TryNinja has to scrap the location of all the posts made in the forum again and again forever.

Yes, exactly. I do not think TryNinja will be able to do that.

As there is no log that indicates which topics have been moved and when, finding out this information would require scraping all the data over and over again. I think this would be a waste of time and resources.

There are two ways this could be done.

1 - When a new post is made, the post will show which section the subject thread is located in. If a new post is made in an existing thread, the location of the thread can be updated.

2 - When a thread on your watchlist is moved, it will show up on your watchlist again, even if there are no new posts. TryNinja could theoretically add every thread to his watchlist and monitor for the thread's location being changed, although this is probably less feasible than the above.

How about scrape the location of only new posts made in the last n days or n weeks?

Yes, exactly. I do not think TryNinja will be able to do that.

There's no log that indicates that a post has been edited as well, but data is scrapped anyway to show changes in the post from the archived version. Does  this mean waste of resources too?

The updating could be made weekly on the new posts, since I believe new posts that are made in wrong boards could have been moved within a week by the  mods.

TryNinja could theoretically add every thread to his watchlist and monitor for the thread's location being changed, although this is probably less feasible than the above.

The Watchlist gets slower when there are more topics to watch, and I've seen theymos recommend to clean it up. So I doubt this will work with 5 million topics.

How about scrape the location of only new posts made in the last n days or n weeks?

That's only possible for the last few seconds. You can't scrape a 1 day old post without knowing the topicID already.

[hosseinimr93]

You can't scrape a 1 day old post without knowing the topicID already.

Even if a topic is moved to a different board, the topic ID doesn't change and you can still use the same link to see the post.

TryNinja can scrap the location of every topic one more time after a certain time to check if it has been moved. Of course, I doubt it's worth it to do that.

Thanks for updating website with cool new features that can improve search function a lot, but I have some questions.
Is there a way I could unignore specific topic that I ignored before with click on the button?
I did some testing and ignored few topics, but now I can't find what exactly I ignored, so it could be useful to add list of ignored topics, as well as option to reset and remove everything back to default settings.

[Pmalek]

...as well as option to reset and remove everything back to default settings.

If you refresh the page, all changes will be disregarded and you will see the normal search results.

Some sensitive data has been posted on the 17th page in this thread > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231446.320. theymos has removed the things that shouldn't be posted on the forum, but with scrappers such as Ninjastic.space, the original posts can still be seen. @TryNinja if you can make modifications to the results, it would be a good idea to remove the sensitive data from those couple of posts.

@LoyceV everything can be seen on loyce.club as well!

It's better to PM requests like this. Pointing it out here makes it more likely someone sees it, or even archives the archives. Once it's gone I always post anything I've censored in my topic (for transparency).

For future reference: postIDs are much easier than topicIDs I found 4 posts (one of them in a different topic). Did I catch all of them?

[Pmalek]

I agree, but in this particular case, the data has already been in Meta for 2 days and originally posted in the Russian section on 11 April. Plenty of time to do "stuff" with it.   

I found 4 posts (one of them in a different topic). Did I catch all of them?

Yeah, I think you got them all. 1 in the Russian board and the 3 in Meta. Unless it was shared elsewhere as well. Thanks!

Not that it matters, but who is the guy and why was his personal data posted here? A Russian soldier?
isn't doxxing a serious violation that results in a ban or a temporary one?

[dkbit98]

I tried doing that in the first place before asking my question in forum, and even after refreshing page I was not getting the same results like before.
Even clicking on F5 didn't fix this so maybe all history with cookies need to be deleted in some cases.
I would like to hear what TryNinja has to say about this.

[hosseinimr93]

I also tried that to see how it works on my side.
When I refresh the page (a normal refresh, no need to a hard refresh), the result is back to normal and ignored topics are shown again.
When I do a new search"without refreshing the page, the ignored topics are still hidden.
