hexbear

Since you've worked on the site before, maybe you can point me in the right direction:

The function that actually creates the tagline (replacing CURRENT_YEAR, MOSCOW_TIME, and so on) seems to be hexbear_setupTagline, which is fed a random tagline from the taglines array):

return a.state.tagline = a.hexbear_setupTagline(
  null == (
    tagline = 0 === (
      taglineList = null != (r = null == (i = a.state) || null == (i = i.siteRes) ? void 0 : i.taglines) ? r : []
    ).length ? void 0 : taglineList.at(Math.floor(Math.random() * taglineList.length))
  ) ? void 0 : tagline.content
)

n.hexbear_setupTagline = function (e) {
  return e.replace(
    '<MOSCOW_TIME>',
    (
      o = new Date,
      r = o.getTime() + 60000 * o.getTimezoneOffset(),
      new Date(r + 10800000).toLocaleString().split(', ') [1]
    )
  ).replace(
    '<CURRENT_USER>',
    null != (
      t = null == (n = Nr.Instance) ||
      null == (n = n.myUserInfo) ? void 0 : n.local_user_view.person.name
    ) ? t : 'Someone'
  ).replace('<CURRENT_YEAR>', (new Date).getFullYear().toString()).replace(
    /<RANDOM:(\d+):(\d+)>/,
    (
      function (e, t, n) {
        return '' + (o = t, r = n, Math.random() * (r - o + 1) | 0);
        var o,
        r
      }
    )
  );
  var t,
  n,
  o,
  r
}

It's not necessary to understand this particular snippet, but I was wondering where the corresponding non-obfuscated code can be found (if it's publicly available). I checked the Hexbear GitHub but couldn't find it in the JS client repository or anywhere else, which seemed odd. Is its absence related to this open issue?

Not that it matters, but if you do end up playing around with any of this logic, you could replace the fiddly time math with the more elegant code used for the sidebar clock (to be fair to whoever wrote said fiddly math, the features used literally hadn't been implemented in Firefox yet when the site was born):

var date = new Date;
var moscowTime = Intl.DateTimeFormat(
  void 0,
  {
    timeZone: 'Europe/Moscow',
    timeStyle: 'medium',
  }
).format(date.getTime());

Thank you for your service (which, if I understand the changelog correctly, includes upstreaming taglines and custom emotes)! Open source development can be thankless work at times, but I appreciate the effort everyone puts in to keep this site running,
