I wonder if The Elder Scrolls will have more than three types of cave this time around.

@polygeekery My problem seems to be fixed but I've bookmarked those for when I go a bit more professional. Cheers!

@ben_lubar I think it's a warning for the TimeBandits of the world that they might get Office on them.

RE: WTF Bites
@anotherusername said in WTF Bites:
That event was caused by removing a text about 4 hours ago node and then adding a text about 4 hours ago node. In other words, it changed nothing.
That's not fair. The first time it meant 'slightly more than 4 hours ago' and it updated to mean 'almost 5 hours ago'.

RE: IP blacklisted help
@polygeekery From my understanding they don't really provide the things I wanted (a website to install stuff on and some email addresses).
Google Apps offers the email address but Office 365 doesn't seem to add anything useful. Plus together they are more like $30 a month.

RE: IP blacklisted help
The mails for your domain have been redirected through an alternate IP address and SPF record updated.
Please allow for a few hours for the changes to take effect and let us know if you continue to experience the same issue.
If that has fixed it they only took around an hour, including waiting for more information for me. Not too shabby.

So it's all to do with the webhost. I'll contact them now.

@the_quiet_one It's some cheapy shared hosting that's been fine for three years. I don't demand too much from them :)

IP blacklisted help
This is something I know nothing about so go easy on me.
I've recently started getting emails bounced back from my 'work' address. This account is mainly used to communicate with my boss, but I'm worried that it's getting flagged as spam when I use it for other purposes (tax, banking, etc.)
The message I get when I try to send it is
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
<his address and IP>SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<his address>: 554 5.7.1 You are sending spam (check http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=50.31.160.50)
Action: failed
Final-Recipient: rfc822;<his address>
Status: 5.0.0
Remote-MTA: dns; <his domain>
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 554 5.7.1 You are sending spam (check http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=50.31.160.50)
This isn't my IP address.
While I imagine there isn't much I can do to fix this myself I'm asking who I should inform - my webhost, domain provider, or ISP? I also have a SmartDNS service but I've turned it off for the last few days and it hasn't changed anything.

RE: A critical reflection on GDPR

Me: "Ok but has it hurt anybody?"
Me: "Yeah, but there's also a huge moat and fence and they feed it like 5 times a day, so."
Me: "So it has harmed you? Or...?"
Me. "But has it actually hurt anybo--"Have you considered that GDPR is an attempt to be the moat and fence? Why does the zoo in your situation need them?

RE: WTF Bites
@pie_flavor I did Minecraft plugins for a few years, and one of them was a mob spawning script manager. As such, it didn't have a config file but instead read script files, and wouldn't do anything until some scripts were created.
I probably had to explain this 30 times a week.

RE: Commuting WTF Thread
In the trams, buses, and the metro, there is a voice announcing the current and next stop.
On Friday it's Children's Day so this week the messages have been replaced by children reading the names of the stops/stations.
Sadly, they seem to have either chosen children who don't speak Polish, kids who live in a completely different city and have never previously seen the places they're delineating, or kids from the middle of nowhere who've never seen a street sign.
It makes the already hard job of understanding vowel-less 30-letter-long street names even harder.

RE: Commuting WTF Thread
About 10 years ago in Warsaw they switched from the doors all opening every stop to requiring people to press a button. This had already been the system in winter to keep the heat inside but now became normal for all buses and trams, most of which also got air-conditioning.
Despite this time, and multiple labels, arrows, flashing lights, etc. minutes of my commute are spent waiting at a stop for passengers to grasp the concept.
Also, it's normal here for teenagers to always stand in the door area, even on empty buses. I've seen them have to get out of the bus and then back on every stop for twenty stops.

RE: A critical reflection on GDPR
This afternoon I booked a table (by phone) in a restaurant in Warsaw, needing to give my name and phone number.
The guy had to read me a GDPR warning for about two minutes and I had to accept the terms.

I wish there was some place where I could check what the right English words are for a given fixed phrase.
There is - and we charge quite reasonable amounts! ;)
The website I usually recommend is www.diki.pl (despite the stupid name). It's not always right but it seems to have a good success rate.

In Pennsylvania, there's a chain of gas-station-convenience-stores called "WaWa." Despite sounding like they were named by a thirsty 2-year-old, they're actually fairly nice.
Maybe the founder was from Warsaw?

RE: Polar M200 review: you need an app for that
@jbert said in Polar M200 review: you need an app for that:
But can it work without an app?
The mobile app is just a slightly cut-down version of the webapp. If you're happy with the watch as a training tool you don't need either; they are more about social habits (challenging friends, achievements, etc.)
What's more, the watch can even run its own apps!

RE: Polar M200 review: you need an app for that
I was choosing between Polar and Garmin and went for Garmin because they have a Windows Phone app. It also shows my heartrate with a swipe. I think there are even watch faces which show it all the time.
The one I have is probably a bit too much for your father but if you return his I've heard good things about the Vivosmart HR+.

RE: One final niggly detail
Generally (IANAL, etc.) companies can't withhold money you've earned for any reason in most of the world. The only time I can think of is if they accidentally paid you too much last month they can deduct the mistake from this month.
Even if you signed something I still think they would have to pay you and then try to get back the shares/equivalent value through civil court.
