togglebutton in the ui switches between 2 (off/default) and
1 (on/quick) confirmations; global-option `--qdel` sets the default
setting `--qdel=0` changes the togglebutton to switch
between 1 (off/default) confirmations and 0 (on)
in other words, when the ui-button is enabled, it
always reduces the number of confirmations by one
the unix-permissions of new files/folders can now be changed
* global-option --chmod-f, volflag chmod_f for files
* global-option --chmod-d, volflag chmod_d for directories
the expected value is a standard three-digit octal value
(User/Group/Other) such as 755, 750, 644, 640, etc
If a file has no known extension the content type gets set to
application/octet-stream causing the browser try and download the file
when viewed directly.
This quickly becomes annoying as many of the files I interact with often
have no extension. I.e., config files, log files, LICENSE files and
other random text files.
This patch uses libmagic to detect the file type and set the
content-type header. It also does this for the RSS feed and webdav for
sake of completeness.
This patch does not touch the front end at all so these files still have a 'txt'
button and a type of '%' in the web UI. But when clicked on, the browser
will display the files correctly.
This feature is enabled with the existing "magic" option. I thought this
fit as the existing functionality also uses libmagic and gives file
extensions to files on upload. Tell me if it should be its own option
instead.
The code base was very confusing, this patch works but I have no idea if
it's the way you'd like this implemented. Hopefully its acceptable as
is.
file hashing became drastically slower in recent chrome versions;
* 748 MiB/s in 131.0.6778.86
* 747 MiB/s in 132.0.6834.160
* 485 MiB/s in 133.0.6943.60
* 319 MiB/s in 134.0.6998.36
the silver lining: it looks like chrome-bug 1352210 is improving
(crypto.subtle, the native hasher, now scales with multiple cores)
* 133.0.6943.60: speed peaked at 2 threads; 341 MiB/s, 485 MiB/s
* 134.0.6998.36: peak at 7; 193, 383, 383, 408, 421, 431, 438, 438
* 137.0.7151.41: peak at 8; 210, 382, 445, 513, 573, 573, 585, 598
MiB/s when hashing with 1, 2, ..., 7, 8 webworkers respectively
on a ryzen7-5800x with 2x16g 2133mhz ram
characteristics of versions between v134 and v137 are unknown
(cannot find old official builds to test), but v137 is a good
cutoff for minimizing risk of hitting chrome-bugs
meanwhile, hash-wasm scales linearly up to 8 cores;
0=328 1=377 2=738 3=947 4=1090 5=1190 6=1380 7=1530 8=1810
(0 = wasm on mainthread, no webworkers)
but it looks like chrome-bug 383568268 is making a return,
so keep the limit of max 4 threads if machine has more than
4 cores (and numCores-1 otherwise)
* do not take lock on shares-db / sessions-db when running with
`--ah-gen` or `--ah-cli` (allows a 2nd instance for that purpose)
* add options to print effective salt for ah/fk/dk; useful for nixos
and other usecases where config is derived or otherwise opaque
* mention potential hdd-bottleneck from big values
* most browsers enforce a max-value of 6 (c354a38b)
* chunk-stitching (132a8350) made this less important;
still beneficial, but only to a point
the up2k databases are, by default, stored in a `.hist` subfolder
inside each volume, next to thumbnails and transcoded audio
add a new option for storing the databases in a separate location,
making it possible to tune the underlying filesystem for optimal
performance characteristics
the `--hist` global-option and `hist` volflag still behave like
before, but `--dbpath` and volflag `dbpath` will override the
histpath for the up2k-db and up2k-snap exclusivey
`--md-hist` / volflag `md_hist` specifies where to put old
versions of markdown files when edited using the web-ui;
* `s` = create `.hist` subfolder next to the markdown file
(the default, both previously and now)
* `v` = use the volume's hist-path, either according to
`--hist` or the `hist` volflag. NOTE: old versions
will not be retrievable through the web-ui
* `n` = nope / disabled; overwrite without backup
specifically google, but also some others, have started ignoring
rel="nofollow" while also understanding just enough javascript to
try viewing binary files as text
download-as-tar-gz becomes 2.4x faster in docker
segfaults on windows, so don't use it there
does not affect fedora or gentoo,
since zlib-ng is already system-default on those
also adds a global-option to write list of successful
binds to a textfile, for automation / smoketest purposes
too restrictive, blocking editing through webdav and ftp
but since logues and readmes can be used as helptext for users
with write-only access, it makes sense to block logue/readme
uploads from write-only users
users with write-only access can still upload any file as before,
but the filename prefix `_wo_` is added onto files named either
README.md | PREADME.md | .prologue.html | .epilogue.html
the new option `--wo-up-readme` restores previous behavior, and
will not add the filename-prefix for readmes/logues
previously, the native python-error was printed when reading
the contents of a textfile using the wrong character encoding
while technically correct, it could be confusing for end-users
add a helper to produce a more helpful errormessage when
someone (for example) tries to load a latin-1 config file
adds a third possible value for the `replace` property in handshakes:
* absent or False: never overwrite an existing file on the server,
and instead generate a new filename to avoid collision
* True: always overwrite existing files on the server
* "mt": only overwrite if client's last-modified is more recent
(this is the new option)
the new UI button toggles between all three options,
defaulting to never-overwrite
