Historically due to https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-is-discourse-so-slow-on-android/8823
we decreased page sizes of both home page and topic page on android by half.
This was done on the server side and as a side effect and caused page sizes on android
to mismatch between Android and non Android.
Unfortunately about a year ago googlebot started pretending it is Android,
this cause Google to start indexing pages as what android would see. So
it saw double the amount of pages in the index as what exists on desktop.
This in turn caused double the amount of indexing work and a large amount
of broken links on long topics.
This fix removes all special behavior which is no longer needed due to
other performance work in Discourse including raw handlebars on home page
and virtual dom on topic pages.
I tested we do not need this on Blu Advance 5.0 it has 1.3 GHZ mediatec mt6580
This phone retails for around $50 USD.
If we decide long term that we want any hacks like this we will shift them
to the client side. It can just hold data in memory without rendering.
If we detect redis is in readonly we can not correctly get a mutex
raise an exception to notify caller
When getting optimized images avoid the distributed mutex unless
for some reason it is the first call and we need to generate a thumb
In redis readonly no thumbnails will be generated
previously admin got a free pass and could set theme via cookie to anything
including themes that are not selectable
this refactor ensures that only "preview" gets a free pass, all the rest
goes through the same pipeline
* When an error is raised when checking route constraints, we
can only return true/false which either lets the request
through or return a 404 error. Therefore, we just skip
rate limiting here and let the controller handle the
rate limiting.
If sidekiq is paused or Discourse is in readonly continue to queue
heartbeats
If we do not do that then a master process can end up reaping sidekiq
workers and causing various badness
This also impacts restore which can do weird stuff TM in cases like this
These site settings are very hard to explain and only applicable for very
specific Discourse setups.
If an admin "enables staged users" which is used in support scenarios then
all staff can send "messages" directly to an "email".
The setting allows you to extend this to TL4 or any trust level.
Actual use case would be a support type setup with restricted staff. It is
quite rare so hiding this for now and re-evaluate keeping the setting in
2019
* FIX: don't allow inviting more than `max_allowed_message_recipients` setting allows
* add specs for guardian
* user preferences for auto track shouldn't be applicable to PMs (it auto watches on visit)
Execlude PMs from "Automatically track topics I enter..." and "When I post in a topic, set that topic to..." user preferences
* groups take only 1 slot in PM
* just return if topic is a PM
