@Tsaukpaetra I feel like I'm in a soap opera
😱
Is it one of those soap operas that are on Telemundo? Those are great. I have no idea what they are saying, but all the women have great racks.

@Tsaukpaetra Yes. And it worked. Sort of.

FSCKING BOOYAH!
I finished me a project!
now to box it up stick a flipping bow and a "DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS(or you get too curious)" sticker on it, ship it out, and dig out my knitting needles. i've got some cotton dish rags and drying cloths to knit next!
in case the toes aren't enough for scale (i really should have used a banana) that blanket there is roughly 4 feet by 6 feet, or as we say in my family: the perfect size for sitting uner on the couch with a good book

@ben_lubar said in The Official Status Thread:
If it did that, would it wait for the first request to finish or just fail any further requests right away?
If it waits, any forum thread that links to itself will never successfully load and the requests will stay in memory forever and the server will crash.
If it fails immediately, the post cache contains nothing but errors due to multiple users viewing the same topics at the same time and failing immediately is faster than an actual request succeeding.I'm beginning to think that neither NodeBB nor iFramely were designed to be used.
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
That assumes that iFramely can maintain a global state (outside the request), because each request = new state.
If it's javascript, it can create an effectively global variable.

@LB_ Google seems bound on killing IMAP completely and replacing it with... well, webapps, really. I've ranted about this before, but yeah, basically, don't expect shit on GMail to work like they do with any other account you may have.

Status: Moving contacts between an old phone and a new one. Needed to install two apps in order to make it work.
-
@dkf Been years since built-in sync failed for me... or is the old one a Blackberry or something?
-
@Onyx These were contacts that were on the phone, not on the online service (for mostly unimportant raisins). It was easy enough to export the contacts to a file on the SD card, but the new phone doesn't take SD cards (because ??Â?) and so it had to be copied from there via online mechanisms. Which was one of the apps. The other app was just so that the file could be selected at all; apparently the phone had never had a real file selector app installed on it before.
It would have been easier if it had been my personal phone, which already had all the things required. But it's hard to persuade one's family to pay for tech support. ;)

If both phone support bluetooth pairing you can sync contacts through bluetooth. The standard exists for a long time and I have no problem getting contact from my non-smartphone(Sony K700i)

Sharing contacts via Bluetooth doesn't work anymore? I don't even think you need an app for that...
Edit: I never learn, so I?

Getting a cloud storage provider set up for them was a good idea anyway, as that will be ideal for handling moving lots of photographs. I've done using bluetooth for bulk data transfer and it's not something you want if you're in a hurry…

@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:
You should be able to do state-tracking between those recursions.
Should, but then again, NodeBB isn't aware that it's recursing, and iFramely ain't sharing none of that!
The iFramely should just maintain a stack and not request anything it's already requested.
That assumes that iFramely can maintain a global state (outside the request), because each request = new state.
yeah, don't request the page in the standard way.
if the request includes oembed, iframely, whatever headers/query strings then don't render oneboxes, also set the user agent to the iframely render request to some known value (like
iframely renderer
) and then DO NOT ONEBOX when that UA is used.

i just set up Plex for that, throw it on an old tower that's got a decentish CPU (you don't need that good a one really, almost any CPU in the last 6 years is good enough) and tons of storage. drop the media files in the right folders and watch them anywhere. it'll auto transcode on the fly if needed so i don't have to worry about watching 4k video on my phone. is pretyt sweet actual;ly if you're willing to put the (small) effort into setting it up.

@Onyx I managed to fix it by moving the search-only messages into the inbox and then archiving them, so there's that, at least.

I assume the mice can take care of bathing themselves. But when a hair gets in front of the little light on the bottom it makes moving the mouse like being in one of those dreams where you just can't quite walk correctly.

As for the row count thing...
mysqli
brainworms? Because AFAIKmysqli
's row count actually is reliable, at least when you work with tables and (simple, at least) views.Then again, that might fuck up as well if you do tricky stuff in views or something. I can imagine many failure modes with Postgres for example, but I abandoned MySQL before I started dealing with stuff complex enough to cause it I guess.
