Dear fellow users of Mokum. We are going to perform two security updates, please expect 5 minutes of downtime very soon.
We are going to reboot Mokum servers in order to apply security updates. Two short downtimes expected, 3-5 minutes each. Please remain calm.

Exactly three years ago Mokum was opened for the public: /squadette/1. Thank you for your support.
Thank you! If I ever give Iain Baker that jar of homemade marmalade that I promised him for getting Facebook to reboot the FF servers that one time, then you are definitely next in line for homemade marmalade.
· Meg Vmeg 17For absolutely no reason at all Mokum suddenly has a privacy policy: https://mokum.place/about/privacy-policy. If you have any questions or suggestions please comment here or in @support. Thanks.
You forgot the obvious one: The content of any post or comment you make on the service, how long you keep backups of them, who you share that content with (link to instructions related to privacy controls, private subfeeds, etc.) You should also link to Google Analytics privacy policy in the appropriate section.
· April 3We need to do regular "did you know" reminders about Mokum features. The topic for today is "private subfeed". Please share/translate this link for your community if you think this could be useful. Even if you have a public account, you can have another sub-feed, which is always private. You can enable your private sub-feed on "Settings" page. You can post to your private sub-feed by clicking at "Private sub-feed" link in the right column (or at the bottom, if you're on a mobile device). You can request subscription to other people's private sub-feed if you know its URL.
You can invite users to your private sub-feed on your "Settings" page, see "Invite users to your private sub-feed" section. The user must be already subscribed to your primary account. You can see people subscribed to your private sub-feed at your "Subscribers" page. You can unsubscribe people from your private sub-feed there (and they will not get any notification about this). If you're subscribed to someone's private sub-feed, you can see who else is subscribed at the bottom of their "Subscribers" page.
· псы в рапидеgreat, thanx
· aralıkIf you've had a private feed and wanted to move to having the main feed be public but the subfeed private, is there a way to designate old posts to be private or move them to the subfeed?
· Spidra Webster@spidra: You'd have to do 1 post at a time, but the option is under the "more" menu on every post. I would set up the private subfeed first, invite everyone that you want to allow access to it, then go through all your posts, moving any you want to keep hidden from public view, then when you make it all the way back to your first Mokum post, switch over your main feed to public.
· April 2@app103: Thanks. Too bad I'm such a prolific poster by mokum standards.

Can't upload photos from my phone, Chrome app crash when i try. Some others have same issue here https://mokum.place/alperkamu/2000856
it's a known problem with Chrome and Android, I've mentioned the same problem few weeks ago (https://mokum.place/support/1987304). As mentioned here https://productforums.google.com/forum/?noredirect=true#!topic/chrome/PYHUppJGT6E it has been acknowledged by Google and will be fixed asap
· Brixie 4@squadette: in my case it never crashed, but it doesn't work either (loading forever on the "Select Images" screen)
· BrixieGuys, we've just deployed some under-the-hood changes to make sure that Mokum stays available in Russia. You should see no effect :)
Друзья, мы несколько изменили конфигурацию Мокума, чтобы уменьшить наши шансы случайно оказаться заблокированными. Никаких изменений не должно быть видно, но если вы заметили, что что-то сломалось - пишите, пожалуйста!
· "Serious" BlackAhahaha. “Dear Customer, A part of your servers has already become unavailable from the Russian Federation due to Roscomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media) blocking the network 23.108.208.0/20 which includes public interface networks of your Cloud servers.”
· псы в рапиде 13Иногда я опасаюсь, что антимонопольная служба обяжет Мокум включить в загрузку страницы ебущихся червяков
· igors 8We are going to replace some broken hardware in Mokum server, please be prepared for 15-30 minutes of downtime between 15:00 and 19:00 MSK (12:00-16:00 UTC).
@fsniper: Event type: instance-stop // Event status: scheduled // Description: The instance is running on degraded hardware // Start time: 20 Mar, 2018 at 18:00:00 PM UTC
· un^Wdocumented person with a gun 2Mokum financial report, August 2017 — February 2018: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1otuoDPuG44n6lstdNKzsFioR_0nhEyM50ZCye32O2cc/edit?usp=sharing TLDR: €1403.99 spent so far, out of €2577.8 raised (0.2130 BTC not included). We spend €155/month (the average number of €200 in the spreadsheet includes one-time installation costs, temporary three-server situation and unnecessary backups that were since purged). Thank you for your support! #mokum-budget
We've just enabled so-called "new frontend" as the default. If you have any issues using that, please report to @support. The main visible feature of the new frontend is that you can now add and delete images at any time. This was the most popular item in the current voting round: https://mokum.place/v/top.
It is expected that the new frontend should be much faster visually even now, but what's more important is that it allows for more upgrades to faster versions of React.js, removal of a lot of code (which increases page load speed), and of course the new code base allows to add more features. This was discussed back in August (/mokum/1550908), and now it's implemented.

There's no way to search Mokum for comments containing certain keywords, made by a specific user, is there?
@seliv: oops you are right. I never noticed. it's strange as it perfectly finds comments by keyword (https://mokum.place/s?q=tidbit+) and comments by user, but not both
· скорее эмоциональный, чем умный@random because 'from' clause applies to post author, not comment author: https://mokum.place/s?q=from:app103+tidbit+
· selivHey, we are going to reboot Mokum servers to finalize a security update. 5-10 minutes of downtime expected.
As the result of multi-phase upgrade and optimizations, Mokum is now roughly twice as fast, thanks to @haron's efforts mostly. Graph on the left is for Dec 22, graph on the right is for today. The resulting price of two new servers is the same as before, but with faster hardware. Thank you for your support, :)
Typical search time is now between 1 and 2 seconds most of the time for full-page results, <1 for smaller pages. Few months ago my expectation was <5 seconds.
· псы в рапидеAnother Pale Moon compatible Mokum bookmarklet/add-on option: Install Clickless Menu, found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clickless-menu/ Add an entry named "Mokum share" and then add the code found here, as shown in my Screenshot: http://appsapps.info/stuff/Mokum-ID0-1.xml Be sure to put a checkmark in the Script column. The Clickless Menu will pop up whenever you select text on a page, displaying any options that are listed in the add-on's configuration.
For Pale Moon users that would like to use the new Mokum sharing extension, instead of the bookmarklet, but can't install it because Pale Moon doesn't support WebExtensions, you can use the Custom Buttons extension, found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-buttons/ Then visit this XML link and hit the Install button on the right side of the page: http://appsapps.info/stuff/Mokum-ID0-1.xml Then right click any toolbar in Pale Moon and go to Customize, to add the new button wherever you want it. This button is based on the official Mokum bookmarklet, but unlike the bookmarklet, you are not restricted to keeping it on your bookmarks toolbar. You can put it on any other toolbar, as shown in my screenshot.
Updated button install link with new bookmarklet code. Remove old button and replace with this one: http://appsapps.info/stuff/Mokum-ID0-1.xml
· April 1We're starting to move Mokum to the new server. There will be a brief period when the site will be read-only, and maybe there will be some downtime. Please stay calm. Update: we're running on a single server for now.
Best mokum theme ever built: https://userstyles.org/styles/142484/mokum-easyread
Mokum had an outage that lasted for two hours. The root cause was that we had a massive misconfiguration that worked until you don't touch anything, and we did exactly that while trying to upgrade Ruby interpreter. Good news is that a lot of old cruft was cleaned up during firefighting, and Mokum is back online. Bad news is that it's not stable enough so tomorrow we need to find out what exactly is broken, and fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience. #mokum-outage
I see a very small number of occasional errors (two in past 30 minutes). They go away after reload.
· псы в рапидеYes, thank you!
· GaladrielHeads up: there is a chance that something will break again, but I can't really promise anything.
· псы в рапиде 4Me either.
· Meg VmegPublic service announcement: tomorrow, Sep 28, Mokum website will be unavailable for some time between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM UTC due to maintenance at our hosting provider. Expected downtime is no more than 40 minutes. Thank you for your attention.
details from Hetzner - https://www.hetzner-status.de/en.html#7859
· "Serious" Black(both Mokum servers will be affected, each could be down for up to 20 minutes, thus total downtime 40 minutes)
· "Serious" Black...and we had two more outages, yesterday during the day and this night. https://www.hetzner-status.de/ #mokum-outage
· псы в рапидеFYI, for users of the Opera browser, you can install the Mokum Chrome extension (or just about any other Chrome extension), if you install this Opera add-on, first. :) https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/
Fundraising update: 1733 EUR + 0.1110 BTC (~388 EUR). Thank you! https://mokum.place/about/donate
Слушай, я извиняюсь за крипотный интурзив коммент, который может триггерить. Биржи битка кажется отнимают до $9 на $100 при переводе с карты (жаба), а пэйпел меня забанил. Может быть у тебя осталась любая рублёвая кредитка visa/master (тогда я могу перевести по её номеру) или тебе можно сделать wire transfer в USD/EUR?
· mff 2Fundraising has been successfully completed. We've raised €2182 via Paypal + 0.2130 BTC + around 300 euro by other channels. Detailed donations report to follow in few days. Thank you for your support, we're good for another year and a bit more. https://mokum.place/about/donate #mokum-budget.
Dear friends, we've enabled donation page for the third fundraising in history of Mokum: https://mokum.place/about/donate PayPal and Bitcoin are accepted. We need to raise €2410. Thank you!
I'd like to share what's going on with Mokum development. The roadmap that we've compiled about a year ago is still relevant, here is the updated version: https://trello.com/b/KCM5x1Xc/mokumplace-roadmap-2016q4-2017q4. Since beginning of this year I was mostly working on two things: reimplementing images support and reimplementing frontend code. Images are mostly done, only a little bit of final migration is needed (and it will bring slightly better avatars). Frontend stuff is basically a lot of technical debt that needs to be paid off. Almost every other bugfix or new feature requires this change, because of improved velocity. This effort is currently visible mostly in the new posting form, which is around 75% finished. Combined, images and new posting form allowed to implement sharing bookmarklet and extension (https://mokum.place/sh) that were one of the most popular requests during last voting. All this work happens slower than I thought but quite steady, so I hope to finish it this autumn. After that is finished many well-known bugs will be fixed and improved, the list is quite long.
I've enabled voting page: https://mokum.place/v, and every user's votes are replenished. If you look at the results of previous voting: https://mokum.place/v/top which happened last May IIRC, we're going quite well and it really helps to focus: 5 out of 6 top-voted features are finished, and the last one is in progress. So, I'd like you to vote again, and if you have any other medium/large feature that is missing from that list: please comment here. Thanks, #project-tyranny
