[00:45:26] <Bytram> haven't looked at it, yet. Spent better part of the day working on the investigation. My brain is starting to hurt.
[00:46:09] <Bytram> At this point, I think I have one or two more sets of tables to examine and report on.
[00:47:15] <Bytram> specifically wrt comments-related tables and seeing if there were any comments made to the allegedly deleted journal entry that persisted.
[00:47:39] <Bytram> Hmm, I think I already addressed that, though.
[00:47:45] <Bytram> :P
[00:48:37] <chromas> You've been DoSed
[00:49:12] <chromas> Some dildaberg whines about journal deletion and now you have to spend all your life looking for nonexistent evidence
[00:49:19] <Bytram> more like DoV'ed: Denial of Vacation
[00:49:27] <Bytram> Oh, yes, thanks for that!
[00:49:36] <chromas> it was probably the russians anyway. same amount of evidence
[00:49:43] <Bytram> I meant to add that to the top of the story.
[00:52:04] <chromas> Here's something better to spend your time on. How about some stats on the dept field?
[00:52:15] <Bytram> huh>
[00:52:24] <Bytram> what do you have in mind?
[00:52:40] <Bytram> how many stories that we published do NOT have a dept.?
[00:52:45] <chromas> How many story depts, which are most poopular, which ones are used the most or whatever
[00:53:11] <Bytram> I think you mean the topics?
[00:53:33] <chromas> I meant the dept but you could do topics too
[00:53:39] <chromas> or I could I guess. I haz access
[00:55:25] <Bytram> topics is just free-format text. As a guess, there is prolly not a lot of overlap. Most likely, the most common will be "empty field" and the next most common would be a variation on "RIP" or "R.I.P." and therein lies the core of the problem... how do you determine "sameness"?
[00:56:30] <chromas> I think we need to look into downsizing
[00:56:37] <Fnord666> deep learning of course. it's the answer to everything
[00:56:46] <Bytram> downsizing, what? The alphabet?
[00:57:01] <Fnord666> number of chars in the dept line?
[00:57:04] <chromas> How many businesses do you know with thousands of departments?

[00:57:22] <Bytram> that should be a gud start
[00:57:24] <chromas> If anything, the dept field should allow more chars
[00:57:41] <Bytram> that's vary charitable of ewe

[17:28:44] <chromas> also need the 2½" and 3½" sizes to relate to something instead of just being random numbers they use to differentiate the sizes

[19:09:50] <Bytram> chromas: I am sure 3 1/2 inch SSDs exist, but for the data center and would be $$$$$
[19:10:38] <Bytram> ISTR we had a story a while ago with some insane amount of SSD storage on a single drive. IIRC, it was a Samsung and something like 16 TB or thereabouts
[19:10:42] <chromas> They should put the older tech into bigger ones for bigger but cheaper storage
[19:12:21] <Bytram> I noticed a long time ago that one could stack something like a half-dozen 2 1/2 inch drives, vertically in a full-height (?) 5 1/4 inch drive bay. Make it hot-swappable and you could have an SSD raid-in-a-box!
