What if Ben really got an ultimatum from the Government That Shall Not Be Named, and had to delete posts from a specific thread... but decided to cover it up by staging a data loss event instead
I wish it was that cool
in reality it was me trying to partition legacy_hash and fumbling with vim and deleting most of the tuples

@ben_lubar issue with the html sanitizer plugin, maybe?
@hungrier said in Discussion of NodeBB Updates:
The abbr tag even has its own button in the composer. Is it really not in the default whitelist, or is this some other post reset weirdness?
I updated to NodeBB master in the process of trying to get the postgres database layer patch to apply. I'll poke @barisu and see if there's some new setting I need to nuke.

I mostly blame Windows for thinking it's a good idea to continue pounding a disk that's already failing

Oh noes, does that mean we need to never discuss C■■■■■■■■■■ R■■■■'s N■■■■■■■■■■■ on this forum again, before more of Ben's hard drives mysteriously fail?

@ben_lubar said in NodeBB Updates:
fixed HTML sanitization
and by "fixed" I mean "removed"
why would we need html-sanitizer when we have htmlcleaner already, which doesn't hide information from users when they post <disallowed tags>

Can confirm. is truth.

Wrong Mason. His name is Viktor Reznov and...
Sorry. I mean, we're all @boomzilla, so...

You're just poking fun at those of us afflicted with CRS, aren't you?
Of course not.
But now that you mention it, that's even better. If I can recall the replies too, I can prepare dazzling and witty counters to them ahead of time.

To be fair, that's my first response when I find a slow sector in a spinner.

I mean I could put it on inedoprodsv1 but that's still a computer that needs to be running somewhere and I don't have physical access to that one

Why should that make any difference?

All our posts for the past two weeks
If he were an employee this is the point where he would be cleaning out his desk.
Yeah, but since he's doing all of this for free, he doesn't owe us anything.
Shit happens to the best of us, apparently Ben included.

@dfdub said in Discussion of NodeBB Updates:
Also, I can now see two columns of posts on my profile, it's completely unreadable. Both happens on mobile, not sure about the desktop version.
On desktop it's clear that it shows two different post timelines: "Best posts made by X" and "Latest posts made by X". Must be that they didn't test the layout on mobile.
I just saw that earlier and actually think it's a cool new feature.
We bitch about everything so often, might just point out something we like once in a while.
-
@topspin It could look a little bit better though, even on desktop.
It's a list of my posts - showing my avatar and usename is unnecessary.

That assumes people are consistent enough to have the same response / make the same reply again.
Which, considering what a bunch of deterministic pedants we are, this forum might actually the best place to make such an assumption.

We should dock his pay!
But we don't pay him anything
Then we should still pay him less!

Don't forums typically come with negative SLAs anyway? we just put ours into practice

I am an employee and I should really clean out my desk at some point it's kinda messy.

Would it be an idea to put a notification on the topic list (unread/latest) to inform users about the data loss?

You missed it on the Discord, but I was cleaning my own desk last night, including transplanting a (not really put together) open-air PC into a proper case!
That stack of Subway napkins, may it rest in piece...

I've used Linux enough to realise that there are other editors available for it that don't physically hurt you.

I can too, except I exit prematurely and then run away as fast as I can.
I'm taking about vim of course, why do you ask?

I like the new time-travelling feature:
-
I had a notification from this topic and several from some other topics, but as soon as I went to this one it cleared all of them.

The data loss sucks. But there's a lesson to be learnt here, right? I'd love to read the postmortem.

You think there's going to be such a thing?

We are TDWTF right? Maybe make the postmortem a frontpage article?
