Yeah hahah, I suspect a lot of the clicks have already been automated, when I went to sleep it was at around ~4k clicks and in the morning it had gone up to 140k clicks
Curious to see how much load/clicks the hacky Go code will handle
I was thinking about your logging/storage. If for every click you log action/IP/date/time/etc, 100-200 bytes of text and I gave you about 1000 clicks with my auto-clicker in a couple of minutes, and if 10-20 people like me do this and leave it running while we watch LotR-extended, could we hurt your storage?
At 100ms per click, 1sec = 10 clicks, 600 per min, 36000 per hour, x4 h for LotR-Ext = 144k x 200 bytes x 20 people = 576,000,000 bytes, nope we won't hurt your storage if you log 200 bytes per click :)
Haha nice point of reference (LotR) - I ended up not storing user-agent/ip etc, only 8 bytes for the timestamp. I was initially going to dump the clicks on sqlite but it felt a bit OTT, so I just keep appending the 8 bytes to the end of a file.
I regret not keeping more details, would make for an interesting an analysis and as you said unlikely to hurt storage unless more people were clicking.
