[13:40:37] <Bytram> Fnord666: many thanks! And thanks for all the stories you posted, too!
[13:41:25] <Bytram> got some errands to run. hope to be back in a few hours, but it is a *beautiful* day and I'm nearing the end of my vacation, so no promises!

[18:40:00] <upstart> ^ 03The Catch-22 that broke the Internet ( https://arstechnica.com )
[19:03:34] <Bytram> ^^^ is actually sourced from here: https://www.wired.com
[19:03:57] <Bytram> ^^^ which, in turn, references Google's official report: https://status.cloud.google.com
[19:04:21] <Bytram> https://www.wired.com
[19:04:22] <upstart> ^ 03How a Google Cloud Catch-22 Broke the Internet
[19:04:31] <Bytram> https://status.cloud.google.com
[19:04:32] <upstart> ^ 03Google Cloud Status Dashboard
[19:26:38] <chromas> I found another site where the bot repeats stuff for no reason. This time, it's the entire article multiple times
[19:28:03] <Bytram> chromas: which site is that? One of those I just pushed in here? Oh, and btw, it seems that upstart only notices urls that *start* a line?
[19:28:30] <chromas> It recognizes ones that don't start with a symbol
[19:28:50] <Bytram> hrm
[19:29:06] <chromas> That was easier than making it track which bot prefixes are in use
[19:29:29] <Bytram> so here is some text and here in one URL: https://www.wired.com and here is another: https://status.cloud.google.com
[19:29:30] <upstart> ^ 03How a Google Cloud Catch-22 Broke the Internet
[19:29:31] <upstart> ^ 03Google Cloud Status Dashboard
[19:29:36] <Bytram> oh, okay
[19:29:54] <Bytram> chromas: so which site gets the duplicated body text?
[19:30:23] <chromas> Scientific American
[19:30:29] <chromas> not one subbed from here
[19:30:37] <Bytram> oh, ok
[19:30:44] <chromas> just clicked it in my feed and saw it repeat many times
[19:31:10] <Bytram> where did you see it? I don't recall seeing a SA sub?
[19:32:12] <chromas> I saw it in my rss feed. I have a button that replaces the feed summary with bot output
[19:32:48] <chromas> The article was this https://blogs.scientificamerican.com
[19:32:49] <upstart> ^ 03Free Will Is Real
[19:32:55] <Bytram> ahh, got it.
[19:32:57] <Bytram> clicky
[19:44:33] <Bytram> yep, text only seems to appear once in the article, but what an amazing mess of nested <span> elements!
[19:45:13] <Bytram> =submit https://blogs.scientificamerican.com
[19:45:19] <upstart> Submitting "Free Will Is Real"...
[19:45:21] * Bytram looks to see how things are duped
[19:45:42] <upstart> ✓ Sub-ccess! "Free Will Is Real" -> https://soylentnews.org
[19:46:48] <Bytram> Yowza.... that is, ummm, impressive! :P
[19:46:54] <chromas> I think my php has aids
[19:47:37] <chromas> I changed $_POST to $_REQUEST and it started not working. Now it says "exec failed" (calling the external bot code) and that's the only thing changed in the code
[19:47:37] <Bytram> chromas: s/has ./needs Band A/
[19:48:34] <Bytram> try it on something that is simple to see if it works at all.
[19:48:59] <chromas> If I directly call the bot code, it works fine (and even has the duplicate output :) )
[19:49:20] <Bytram> LOL
[19:49:41] <Bytram> are you sure you spelled "$_REQUEST" correclty?
[19:49:51] * Bytram notes intentional typo
[19:50:03] <Bytram> =submit
[19:50:03] <upstart> Submit a link
[19:50:05] <Bytram> =submit https://apps.foldingathome.org
[19:50:06] <upstart> Submit failed: Article root node is null. The article extractor needs tuning.
[19:50:13] <Bytram> LOL!
[19:50:14] <chromas> yes and putting it back to $_POST didn't work
[19:50:28] <Bytram> ex-post facto?
[19:50:34] <Bytram> ex-post factno?
[19:50:44] <chromas> ex-post factorio
[19:50:53] <Bytram> I like Cheerios
[19:51:02] <chromas> probably why it doesn't work; it's busy playing factorio
[19:51:19] <Bytram> let if figure out: 50 !
[19:51:36] <Bytram> that would computing: 50 factorial
[19:51:43] <chromas> 3.041409320171338e64
[19:51:48] <Bytram> restart PHP?
[19:51:54] <chromas> dunnit
[19:52:08] <chromas> maybe restart the whole box
[19:52:15] <chromas> but someone might talk on irc and I'd miss it
[19:52:59] <Bytram> I'll be sure to wait until I see you get disconnected from the channel and then I'll say something.
[19:53:03] <Bytram> two things
[19:53:13] <Bytram> 1) Loggie is still a thing
[19:53:31] <Bytram> 2) aren't you set up with the ZNC "bouncer"
[19:53:51] <Bytram> is actually a FIFO (queue), but that's what it's called. go figger
[19:53:51] <chromas> Loggie doesn't hook into my database and no
[19:54:42] <Bytram> https://logs.sylnt.us
[19:54:42] <upstart> ^ 03#editorial
[19:54:53] <Bytram> what's the problem?
[19:56:43] <chromas> Loggie's logs are loggie alright, but they're not my logs. There'd be a hole in my logs on the bottom of the sea
[19:56:53] <Bytram> I did.
[19:57:00] <Bytram> Still do not see what the problem is?
[19:57:05] <chromas> Of course, there's enough holes already I guess one more doesn't matter
[19:57:29] <Bytram> are you saying that loggie is one of your bots?
[19:57:54] <chromas> No, I'm saying even though Loggie still has logs, mine would have a hole, and that makes me a sad panda
[19:58:48] <Bytram> oh, got it.
[19:59:01] <Bytram> cut-and-paste from loggie to you!
[19:59:27] <chromas> Loggie logs don't have millisecond precision
[19:59:33] * chromas maximum pedantry
[20:04:53] <Bytram> use monotonically increasing random numbers to fill in the gaps.
[20:08:35] <chromas> Looks like the particular link I was using (business wire) was causing the error at the same time changing to $_REQUEST also changes the output for some other reason
[20:08:39] <chromas> #smakes all around
[20:11:13] * chromas should add in a couple other programming languages to smake it all better
[20:20:00] * Bytram suggests lisp and offers to donate several thousand matching parentheses
[20:25:18] <chromas> Heh, Business Wire causes a range violation
[20:25:39] * chromas is excellent programmer; applies to Microsoft
[20:29:06] * chromas looks at the youtube b& subs
[20:30:48] <chromas> Can't figure out if ari's trolling or double-trolling. Definitely could use a grammar nazi
[20:38:02] <Bytram> sorry, stepped away for a bit
[21:17:53] <Bytram> whereto? https://phys.org

[21:21:09] <Bytram> break time
[21:53:48] <Bytram> Out for a few hours... laters
[21:55:40] <Bytram> could use some help pushing out stories... I have plans for the day tomorrow and don't know how much time I'll have avail to help with the site. Would *love* to see stories queued up for all of sunday and past monday noon so I can really relax... but will appreciate whatever you can do!
[21:55:42] <Bytram> laters
