How do I disable outgoing email partially?

[Falco]

Push notifications are either:

• Web Push Notifications API (supported everywhere but on iOS)

• Native Mobile Push Notifications (via DiscourseHub for CDCK customers)

Those should work no matter how long you have been away from the site.

There are also what we call “desktop notifications” that depend on a tab being open for the instance with an active message-bus connection.

Those waiting periods will bring a very long sidekiq queue.

That’s pretty much all I use, if I’m not at the computer I don’t need to see notifications for it after the fact.

But if they decided later they wanted to change this you would not be able to stop them.

You could hide those preference page options via CSS, on top of setting the default.

@pfaffman

maxing out those notification windows will do it, I think.

That could result in later pathologies, but I’m not entirely sure. It’s a very weird use case.

I was wondering if some table will grow out of bounds due to this.

Your current users will all be dead by then (well, not for the PMS, some will probably be alive in 63 years).

I do love your sense of humour.
