I've updated the board frontend to the latest work in progress version. This is a total rewrite that purges nearly all old code, which is why it took so long to make. It does not yet have everything I want to add, but it is already five times more powerful than the old site and makes the place so much easier to use. With this update, we are closer to parity with other imageboards out there, both in features, and in site layout, but we are not there yet.


Some highlights are:
- entire front-end rewritten from scratch, with nearly all of the old code base purged from this side (the backend has not been touched to avoid compatibility issues).
- new responsive layout, with a more old school imageboard mode. The layout is based on the browser window size. On desktop PCs, it looks like a traditional imageboard, but on tablet or collapsed windows, it looks like the previous plus4chan layout. I may make a switch later to force either style, should you guys have a preference.

Enabled HTTP3 (QUIC) on the server. When it works (usually for cached pages and static content), it makes loading much snappier. Page loads are down to 40-50ms on my end even for threads with a thousand posts.
Also tweaked the cache services again, tested apcu vs memcached vs redis for the fastest options.
I think the site is now running as fast as I can get it to run without generating static html pages.

I'm sick of everything being an app now, can't even do things face to face so often and now your only option is to book it through an app in your phone even when standing in the lobby of the building.
No doubt they're aiming to get rid of physical cash too sooner rather than later, everything will either be through credit cards or electronic transfer via your (now essential to exist in society) smartphone ect ect.

To get it rolling would bring up the Townsends channel.

Starting one because I have a question but let's have it be general purpose for anyone that comes along.

I was messing around and broke one of the fans on the laptop cooling pad/stand I have it sitting on.
Need to replace it, does anyone have advice on what model I should buy this time?

The old one just had two fans, one of my friends sent me it.
