software/Rewriting TS.md
View File

@ -1,15 +0,0 @@
TS is currently written in Python, depending on a technically EOL version of the discord.py library. It has grown to a massive scale, and provides all of the functionality that is critical for the server, but has some downsides.
- The codebase is not documented very well, which makes changes to the core system difficult.
- Python suffers from performance issues that have proven be meaningful at the scale of the server (they have been addressed)
- The migration to a new discord.py version is proving to be extremely troublesome
However, sticking with the system we currently definitely offers some pros:
- It functions and is largely bug free, proving stable enough for our use case, with the reliability proving to be mostly dependent on the host.
- Eff is contributing, however the level at which he will end up contributing to the project is uncertain
- Once totally 'cleaned up', sticking with TS may be perfectly acceptable
Rewriting TS offers some pros:
- We can document it as we go and decide on design patterns and practices to stick to before implementation begins
- We evaluate the scale that TS needs to fit, and design according to that
- We can switch to a language that may prove to be more performant/versatile, should we decide discord.py and python are not the best tool for our needs

This post mostly serves as a collection of extremely useful resources that I find convenient to group together
# Homelabbing
For most of these, you'll need a dedicated server. A used optiplex, or Raspberry Pi or alternative is fine.
Ideally, you'd find something from this list that's actually useful to you.

# Software Development
I specifically enjoyed reading through [this](https://os.phil-opp.com/) series explaining how to write an operating system. You don't need to understand Rust for the theory section of it.

# New/release features
## Complaints/requested features to address
### Specified
| Assigned to | Task |
|-------------|------|
| Seals | un-jquery it all |
| Drei | finish cleaning up doomscroll |
| Drei | Feedback form |
| arc | Json standardization |
| seals | retain profiles related to feedback |
| drei | add url to the dumps and make them accessible |
| Drei | Sort devices like device manager |
| drei | clarify parts of the ui that are interactive |
| drei | make temps icon actually useful |
| drei | find somewhere to put the debug log |
| Everyone | clean up code |
### Specify
| Assigned to | Task |
|-------------|------|
| nobody in particular | move specify logo during runtime or something |
| bionic | average temps for runtime (5 secs I think?) |
| Seals | figure out the command run for a task (also specified) |
## Not addressed in this release
Viewport
## Docket
- [x] Specify - Decide the next release version
- [x] Specify - Status Text and other possible headaches of switching to another GUI framework
- [x] Specify - Minor GUI redesign
- [x] Specify - Possible optimizations
- [x] Specified - jQuery and the lengths for performance
- [x] Specified - CTRL + F (Gesp mode) - doomscroll
- [x] Specified - Feedback form
- [x] Entire thing - Json standardization
- [x] Specified - Viewport
- [x] Specified - Group device types (from last meeting)
- [x] Specified - Are we deleting dumps?
- [x] Specified - where do we want to put the debug log?
## General notes
- Stop fixing issues/flaws with the json on the specified side
- Document the json format
- Start homogenizing and standardizing/documenting/commenting our codebase to make it more manageable and scaleable. Write code in a vaguely standardized style and flow, and re-evaluate our codebase.
- Don't need a concrete release date right now
- Find an alternative for datatables/jquery - jquery slim?
- gesp is mostly done, by k71 with drei finishing cleaning.
- Basically, open up Device manager. See how it's seperated by device type? Yeah, I would love that - tito on device sorting
- Make it a carbon copy - Use localstorage to remember view?
- Worry about viewport later - Doomscroll might help
- Moving to a new gui framework is a pain
- Updating to dotnet 5 would massively increase filesize, it's not included in any windows version
- Use EOL framework?
- It's probably best to move away from WPF in the long run
- drei found a bug! he's excited. When you toggle a selection in the ui, the hover doesn't work
- figure out a way to show the actual command ran for tasks
- Handle async better
