[06:03:03] <NotSanguine> Bytram: How can I view the hold queue?
[06:14:56] <NotSanguine> Bytram: Never mind. I figured it out.
[06:15:27] <NotSanguine> bytram: but thanks for letting me know about the story.Are we going to go with it?
[06:17:24] <NotSanguine> bytram: butthurt has a point. I did reference the vulnerability in the article about the malware. BTW, even though I emailed the author of the Security Week bit, he hasn't changed the link or made any effort to let users know there's an issue. Sad.
[07:31:30] NotSanguine is now known as NotSanguine|away
[12:08:49] <Bytram> NotSanguine|away: NotSanguine: looks like you got things figured out... if you want to run the story, that's fine by me.

[21:00:18] <takyon_> THE META NEXUS IS FUCKING UP EVERYTHING OMAGAWD
[21:01:26] <takyon_> that message is more for TheMightyBuzzard
[21:01:43] <takyon_> loaded the homepage and admin.pl, got the Meta nexus stories only
[21:01:57] <takyon_> then refreshed, loaded a regular story and it had Meta nexus when that clearly wasn't the case
[21:01:59] <takyon_> weird stuff
[21:05:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon_, i think yer on teh drugs. or possibly it's Bytram's fault.
[21:05:55] <takyon_> it happened
[21:06:11] <takyon_> the last thing it did was display Meta banner on stories that weren't meta, like https://soylentnews.org
[21:06:13] <upstart> ^ 03New Windows 10 S Only Runs Software From Windows Store - SoylentNews
[21:06:37] * TheMightyBuzzard has not a clue
[21:06:56] <takyon_> the worst thing it did was give me a 404 on some story. not sure which
[21:07:22] <takyon_> I love how these bugs pop in and out and last for like 2-10 minutes
[21:07:33] <takyon_> that's what you get for having a bunch of servers talking to each other
[21:07:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'll give the front ends a bounce just for good measure
[21:08:07] <cmn32480> takyon... go t the front page... then go back to the stories list
[21:08:15] <cmn32480> and stop drinking in the middle of the afternoon
[21:11:37] <takyon_> cmn32480: I know what I'm talking about cmn32480. SoylentNews has lots of weird bugs that only hang around for a few minutes. Probably because one of the MULTIPLE servers the site runs on crashed or went stupid
[21:16:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, you never can chase out every bit of random weirdness. only reproducable weirdness is a viable candidate for fixing.
[21:17:47] * TheMightyBuzzard blames cosmic rays for flipping a bit in the server's ram
[21:19:29] <takyon_> omagerd ECCCCCC
[21:19:46] <takyon_> DDR5 better be ECC mandatory!
[21:21:02] * TheMightyBuzzard was never any good at DDR
[21:21:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm better at moving my hips than my feet
[21:21:51] <takyon_> it's easier if you know how to backflip
[21:23:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> speaking of games, roomie just got himself a new one. s'like guitar hero but you plug in your actual guitar n play the actual notes.
[21:25:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll go watch n chuckle since he can play most of the songs he's trying to get a good score on just fine but can't read tablature fer shat.
[21:26:23] <nick> ahoy
[21:26:46] * TheMightyBuzzard waves at nick on his way out
[21:31:37] <charon_> aloha
[21:32:13] <takyon_> hoy
[21:35:51] nick is now known as nick_
[21:35:56] <nick_> just to fit in
[21:45:03] <charon_> all the cool kids have underscores
[21:47:37] <nick_> i'm kind of in shock right now... a friend of mine here just found out she's pregnant and wants me to be the godfather ... really taken aback by it
[21:49:20] <charon_> better than wanting you to be the father
[21:50:33] <nick_> yeah, already narrowly avoided that once this year already
[21:51:51] <charon_> what kind of responsibility is meant by godfatherhood? it's not so important in the US except for the very religious
[21:52:12] <chromas> You oversee the pizza delivery
[21:52:42] <nick_> yeah, there's not much to it that i'm aware of
[21:53:45] <nick_> but since i've only known this girl for like 6 months or so, it was quite the surprise
[22:00:57] <charon_> must be your impeccable character
