@alicia Easy.

> Thanks, I had to read first, what that Redis is. Never ate it, but I'm pleased, you care about it.
@vegos That was a technicality. It's a performant key-value database that can be used for caching and queues in GNU social.
And the plug-in in GNU social for caching via Redis didn't account for that when the GNU social daemons fork the new processes need to reconnect to Redis.
Otherwise different commands from different processes that share the same Redis connection will start receiving replies from Redis that could have been meant for a different process.
Sometimes that meant a PHP crash, which is what stopped some posts from being sent to Twitter.
!loadaverage had the plug-in enabled for about month, I'm not sure why this issue got more evident now. -
@vegos !loadaverage was actually running on Devuan Beowulf pretty much ever since Debian Buster was released.
Issues that stalled it's promotion to stable didn't concern me much.
And before that I did the same thing with Devuan Ascii. -
@lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net It's definitely not transliteration but adaptation, since the last symbol would be "a" in transliteration.
Adaptation: Kiev, Moscow, St. Petersburg.
Transliteration (contemporary): Kyiv (or Kyyiv, or Kyjiv), Moskva, Sankt-Peterburg. -

@vaeringjar We’re just hearing about the impending shutdown of GSNO. Is there any chance that you’d be willing to transfer it to another GS Admin to keep it running?
I’m in the US, so I can’t control a .no domain, but maybe we can find someone in Europe that would be willing to do so.

@samir Sure, they have nowhere to run :-).
-
@samir No, it has been for a while like early adopters of sorts.
!loadaverage will have it enabled next week. -
I knew this was coming but i didn’t quite realize how weird it would be to see the word “Fox” dropped from the Fox assets that Disney acquired. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875597

@vegos It seems that this was caused by a flaw in the RedisCache plug-in, which shared connections between daemon threads.
Something about TwitterBridge made it more apparent. -
Not sure how, six months in, I’m still having to turn around and go back to my house after forgetting my mask, but here we are.

@mrmattimation I'm not sure how, six months in, we're still in it
-
@mrmattimation I hang my mask on my door handle when I'm home. Also I have a lanyard that attaches my keys my jeans when I'm going out of the house. The few things I do for not to cherry up at life.
-
-
@vegos Not sure what causes this – TwitterBridge has always been a mystery to me.
But I'm looking into it. -
Oh that wasn't new-news.

Wanted to buy a cheap AC from my local listings but... they were gone. All sellers said that another *just* before me already got the deal.

All that effort is for nought. As I have woken up the temperature is as it was before.

@adiwan Is a small portable or window mounted air conditioner not an option for you?
-
@oracle I need to save some money for a portable AC. The window mounted kind is out of the option because we have here no sliding windows. Last year it was bearable but the streak of hot days recently is killing me right now.

I always did best identify with bitter alcoholic fanfic Twilight Sparkle, heh

@roytam Lots of those lately. I know.
Noticed it before I noticed your report.
If it's in the public timeline, don't worry, I'll get it. -
I guess it's not much different than how Japanese glosses the U off of Desu, maybe language is just dumb. Who needs a backwards R, anyway!? Upside-down question marks? Bah! lol

@scribus The world needs a mark at the end of the sentence to signify an sarcastic intent more than ever. I propose the ↓ because everything goes down at the moment.
-
@adiwan Definitely agree on the sarcasm mark being needed. And I actually really like Spanish's leading punctuation, it always seemed weird how English has it at the end to tell you what you should have been doing instead of telling you ahead what to do.

Evidently schools that haven't even had their first day are already reporting cases? We're just gonna... heads down, march dick-first through the razor pit? Not even look for a ladder? Nobody's even asking why we're dick-deep in a pit of razors??

@scribus One Bundesland (State) here in Germany has opened their schools this week under some terms like wearing masks in the hallways and segregating the school building into manageable sections for contact tracing and spreading out the school day as much as possible to reduce the amount of people. The number of active infections there is low but I sense it'll backfire nonetheless in a week or two.

More than a second time doing a multiple choice episode isn't worth it. Hitting all the bad endings the second time around is easy enough.

@scribus DVDs support different camera angles for scenes but this feature was poorly used if at all.
-
@adiwan I always remember seeing the button and never having it do anything, lol. I hear the porn industry used it some, but cannot confirm or deny.
-
@scribus I have The Matrix and I believe it had a few scenes with alternative camera angles. But that's all I believe to know about that feature. It's cool and all but to be honest it's a papayaty feature.

#invidious the instance closes down, long live invidious the software!
The lead developer is stepping down, but the project lives on. If you don't host your own, other public instances are listed at instances.invidio.us/ .> Starting September 1st, I'm shutting down the user-facing portion of invidio.us and stepping away from development. [ . . . ]
> [ . . . ] If you're a patron on Liberapay, I would urge you to switch your donation to iv-org, as that will ensure it goes to the stewards of the project going forward.

There was one congressperson or senator or whomever who said "A mask covers the face, made in the image of God," but I think even the nuts thought he was crazy.

@scribus I saw that on The Daily Show With Trevor Noah and The Late Show With Steven Colbert. I had to instantly laugh when I saw that each time. Make-up, firemen breathing masks, masks in hospitals, masks at mask balls, face paint at sports events and Carnival (Mardigras) and Halloween.... ALL SINNERS!
-
@adiwan Well, more than zero of them have previously railed against makeup, Halloween, Madri Gras, and fun in general...
-
-
I admit that I was lenient towards this at the beginning and didn't take the whole thing very serious, however I did my usual things like proper hygiene and my natural behaviour of avoiding people, but very soon I did everything right with wearing masks and such. I had underestimated the outcome and spread before. But after all of the evidence I cannot fathom why people can be still so stubborn.
Saturday, 01-Aug-20 15:23:59 UTC from web-
@adiwan I've usually been a bit cavalier about new diseases, too, aside from standard flu-season hygiene. I was on team "don't wear a mask if you aren't sick, we need them for front line workers" until the new science came out. And I, too, do not understand people who take the advice of a group of uneducated desert monks who've been dead for two thousand years and their demigod fanfiction over modern science and medicine.
-
@scribus As far as I could seen in the videos nobody has used religion as an excuse. I've seen more messages about being fed up by the government and being told what to do, and being inconvenienced, as well as skepticism of the whole pandemic and the virus itself.
-
@adiwan I guess I don't really know that a major amount have been using religion specifically, but it just seems common in a lot of science denial.

@sl @samir https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/issues/160#issuecomment-19742
Well, there's this answer.
There are !gnusocial instances out there that have ActivityPub enabled, !loadaverage isn't one of them yet.
When confidence in the implementation not making a mess in the database is high enough, you'll know :-). -
HAHAHA. My caffeine resistance is remarkable. I drank 6 cups of medium-strong black tea and a lemonade with about twice the caffeine concentration of Coca-cola and I was still tired all the time.

@adiwan Haha, victory! Never had it myself, but they go on about it in 2600 Magazine.
-
@scribus An Atari Magazine? Mate tea lemonades are here en masse. There are at least 7 different brands. Club-Mate, Mio Mio Mate, Mate Mate, Lamate, Maya Mate.... (a few others i forgot the name of).
-
@adiwan 2600: The Hacker Quarterly. Cap'n Crunch reference instead, lol.

I'm somewhat annoyed that anytime the number 69 is mentioned someone says "nice".

@mangeurdenuage It is a mystery to me how I managed to recognise that this is Neon Lights (Kraftwerk) from the first second.
