Came across an article with the Shroomery in it

You guys may have seen it already but here it is...

Quote:

He did and then explained to everyone what he’d found. Some months earlier, Alford had figured that whoever had started Silk Road had tried to drum up interest on regular websites with like-minded audiences. He searched for Tor URLs around the time of the site’s first appearance and found a mention in a Shroomery.org forum on January 27, 2011, days after the Silk Road launch. A user named Altoid talked up this exciting new “service that claims to allow you to buy and sell anything online anonymously.”

Googling elsewhere for the username Altoid revealed a question about database programming posted on Stack Overflow, dated March 16, 2013, asking, “How do I connect to a Tor hidden service using curl in php?” The email listed was rossulbricht@gmail.com. A minute later, that user changed the alias to Frosty.

Huh, I knew the site had been mentioned in some articles immediately following the bust but I hadn't seen this one. It's a comprehensive and well-written account of Silk Road's downfall. I've enjoyed Wired for many years and this is definitely a good read for those who are interested. Thanks for the heads up!

motaman asked me to post the article in the news forum. I did so but received the following Shroomery error message.

"There are errors with your post!
Your post is too long, it won't fit in the database!"

So I split it into three threads. Sorry but that's what it took.

Perhaps you have a way to cut and paste it into one?

Thanks man! Yeah that error message is actually legit, we store posts using MySQL's "TEXT" type which has a limit of 65,535 characters. We could switch to "MEDIUMTEXT" which has a much longer limit (16,777,216 characters) but that adds overhead and inefficiency to the database for every post. Since we really don't need more storage except in special cases (like the one you found, where you're copying and pasting a long article), I think the current setting is good. Your workaround of splitting it into multiple posts is probably what I would have done, or else posted the intro with a link to the full article. :cheers:

But... but... you're Ythan! You can do anything!

:lol:

Now you have me wondering how many characters there are. Part 1 as published fit by itself. Part 2 was the bitch but I figured I'd start it with the Shroomery mention.

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to watch the character count when I'm typing up my future Pub posts. I wouldn't want to hit 65,536.

Word count with spaces

Part 1
55,262

Part 2a
29,436

Part 2b
34,287


29,436
34,287
63,723

Hmmm, perhaps it counted my signature as well? Doesn't matter.

It doesn't count your signature, but it does count any HTML in your post after the BB Code has been converted. It's my guess that some extra HTML contributed to the longer length (eg. auto-linkification of URLs like if you type www.example.com).

I like that you did a character count to check though. Most people wouldn't bother. :cheers:

Do you think any of us would be classified as "most people"?  We are fucking here, dude.  Weird by definition.

That's a perfect segue to " then my work here is done"... but my work will never be done.

Some, myself included, are just a bit weirder than most.
