Vote of No Confidence

I was surprised that I wasn't listed ...
The odd thing is that I'm in the top 3 by IP, but not the top 30 by username.

Are saying that sidekiq jobs are not part of the Discourse experience?
They seem to be more part of the barrier to experiencing Discourse.
But barriers to experiencing Discourse are a good thing, aren't they?

Spec, yes. That's the one the Ducksauce is supposed to switch to "soon".
I'm still baffled by the fact that Jeff concurrently worked on a Markdown spec and a forum that uses Markdown, and didn't use the one with the other. How is that even possible, especially when he promotes dogfooding to the ridiculous degree of using a forum as a bugtracker?
-
Hang on... I'm running the same SockBot code @accalia is, yet I'm generating markedly more load on average, but @abarker's IP is generating more requests than all my bots combined?
-
methinks the numbers in that report are actually disconumbers.

?
Netbot alone generates more than twice as many requests as my IP:
Thinking about it, I show up on the IP list likely because my employer has a static IP, and most of my time on the site is while I'm at work. You and your bots don't get glommed together in the IP list because you run them from an EC2. This gives them a separate IP from yours. And I'm guessing that you didn't bother setting them up with a static IP, so they get shifted around on occasion, which is why they only show up in the Users list.

I asked about this at the time.

There wasn't really an answer. More refusal to answer here:

Not quite as simple as that thanks to cyberparts, but close enough.And I'm guessing that you didn't bother setting them up with a static IP
Not worth the cost.so they get shifted around on occasion
It is virtual hosting, so it's possible.Actually, looking at those requests figures again, @mrguyorama is generating more requests than @NetBot is, which is good I guess. Though @NetBot is causing longer durations.

No thanks; I already have someone for that sort of behaviour

Why do you post in my threads anyway?
Wait, this is your thread? I'd scroll up to the OP to confirm, but, well... scrolling.
(And even if I could, I'd never find this post again, in the middle of a discussion).
Hey, at least I was able to post this without finding a Discourse bug... oh wait, now that I'm at the bottom of the post, I just noticed the page has a horizontal scrollbar. Nevermind.
Edit: and the page refreshed, so I lost my reading spot anyways.
Bonus 2: The "save edit / cancel" UI still overlays a the bottom of the postbox. Still! Even better, it clickjacks so I can't click on the typo in the first sentence. Two bugs in one!

We'll see if making /t/1000 read only tamps down on the cooties enough.
My vote is… no, not really
Evidence:
OK, OK, it's not as bad as the last couple of days. But still, it's… well, we all know what it is.
-

You spoke too soon, just slipping in during a brief calm. The entire storm lasted about an hour, which is about as bad as the last couple days. I don't think moving t/1000 to Read Only had an appreciable effect.
And now the entire site is read only?

This was that purge inactive accounts job, it blocks the entire db for a very long time, disabled now, till I debug why this is happening.

NOT FAIR, I had a better screenshot in the other topic.

There are a lot of topics I don't usually see, but I'll be happy to replace the screenshot when I find it.

This one ;)

For bonus points, consider that CommonMark or whatever it's called now was born out of the fact Discourse didn't have a specification and just made it up as it went along, which seems counterproductive.
Not only is it going to be a mess with Discourse's ideas of glomming HTML and bbcode into it, it's also going to break existing posts when it gets merged due to the above. And likely many bugs too as the dual cooking process (one for the preview, one for the cooked) process isn't perfect either.

markdown syntax
Have a tutorial; I've not updated in a while, so it may or may not be completely accurate anymore.
-
I... might have fucked up the formatting...
-
-
Can you actually go fix it? I know you probably think what you did was funny, but some of us actually put work into that and defacing it is seriously uncool.
-
If you think I did that on purpose, go fuck yourself
-
Oh, and if I could have fixed it, I would have
-
The problem appears to be the hints that were put in on the code sections. Apparently "Markdown" is not a valid hint, and using it screws up surrounding formatting. I've fixed some by replacing "Markdown" hints with "text" hints.

Yay for bugs! That stuff rendered fine before.

That's the kind of response we expect from blakey, not from you.
-

I apologize - I should have suspected discourse first.

I'd do more, but it's painful on mobile. I just did enough to confirm the fix works.
-
Why are the rules different for different users?

It's even wierder than just the invalid hint. It apparently requires two invalid hints before the bug is triggered, and even then, it only affects the formatting after the first invalid hint. discourse
-
I didn't say the rules were different. Your reaction just seemed out of character.
-
Fair enough; I'll take it as a sign I should keep my activity down still.

I think @abarker intended that less as a "You're acting out" mod rebuke and more as a "..are you okay?" inquiry as an ordinary forum user.... unless I'm misreading the situation as well?
-
The one that looks like a kitty is the cutest.

Maybe blakeyrat hacked into Discourse and stole RaceProUKs account. @abarker, being the amazing mod that he is, instantly noticed that and used a very specific message to reset the account back to the real RaceProUK (similar to the "One of Us" chant for that one badge).
Clearly we should thank abarker for solving the situation so gracefully!

No, pretty much spot on.

There's APapadimoulis (as Lord and Hamstermaster of TDWTF), PJH (as resident badmin),
la benlubar.
(as driver of the batch import process), sam (as the DiscoDev we beg for support), ... I think that's it. Far less than "half t' damn forum".

PJH (as resident badmin)
Last I heard, PJH doesn't have root on the server. He only has admin within discourse.
