[00:08:45] <Runaway1956> Ahhhh, uses MacOS built in Safari rendering engine.
[00:14:04] <Runaway1956> I'm fairly impressed, already.
[00:14:21] <Runaway1956> I still don't see a version for Linux . . .

[06:48:58] <FatPhil> 500 internal server error when posting again
[06:50:28] <janrinok> Yes, mine has just slowed down to a crawl
[06:50:53] <FatPhil> my 500s (tried 3 times) were nice and quick!
[07:06:10] <inz> The site is agine, at least it fails fast.

[07:06:54] <inz> FP, how's the warzone?
[07:10:26] <janrinok> SN NEWS: The site appears to be having some issues again. Our only techie is currently sleeping (and quite deservedly so!). We may have further outages today.

[07:25:53] <Runaway1956> Yeah, I just noticed the errors. Can't post anything, even in journal.
[07:27:10] <Runaway1956> Yes chroma - safari uses webkit
[07:27:29] <Runaway1956> I had to look it up to be certain, but multiple pages insist that it's webkit
[07:27:53] <janrinok> The problem seems to be linked to the database saying that a part of it is full, but it isn't. It doesn't seem to want to change sizes when we instruct it to do so. It is very strange.
[07:29:20] <janrinok> We've got stories queued to see us into tomorrow but there is no guarantee that they will appear on the front page when we expect them to do so.
[07:29:51] <Runaway1956> This only happens on days that end in Y
[07:30:09] <janrinok> or have a D in them
[07:30:35] <Runaway1956> Correlation may not be causation, but we need to check it out

[18:25:09] <janrinok> SITE NEWS: THE SITE SEEMS TO BE IN A USABLE STATE AGAIN. WE ARE STILL WORKING ON IT THOUGH SO IT MIGHT HAVE OCCASIONAL RESTARTS.
[18:26:43] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Intel Drops Pentium and Celeron Brands, AMD Posts Complicated Mobile Naming Scheme - https://sylnt.us - dropped-like-a-Google-beta-product
[18:37:22] <progo> I bought a license for the commercial version of WINE years ago, for running Windows software on Intel/AMD linux desktops… it has to be renewed annually and I eventually let it expired.
[18:37:25] <progo> now I can't remember the name
[18:37:50] <progo> my mind-thread is flopping around coming up with brand names that are all not the correct name
[18:37:57] * progo feels old
[18:38:21] <progo> Crossover!
[18:38:24] <progo> that's it
[18:40:14] <janrinok> I was just trying to think of it too!
[18:40:45] <progo> I was given a blank laptop at work and told to install whatever I need to do my job and move off the old one. no more IT control
[18:41:18] <progo> still waiting for a VPN I can actually install on my new computer, to sysadmin project servers. but that's "coming soon"
[18:41:44] <progo> I gave up this fight long ago. my boss got mad about all the developers not being able to get stuff done on the IT-managed hellscape Windows installs
[18:41:52] <janrinok> and you need WINE?
[18:41:57] <progo> it's an option
[18:42:01] <janrinok> ok
[18:42:02] <progo> for installing pirated MS Office
[18:42:05] <janrinok> lol
[18:42:10] <progo> not sure if I'll bother with it
[18:42:14] <janrinok> shhh - you shouldn't say that
[18:42:32] <progo> I think I'll do a Crossover 2-week trial (free) and see how that goes. otherwise I already have a catch-all Windows VM running
[18:43:12] <progo> I logged in as my company ID at portal.office.com and downloaded Office 365 for Windows, and then after the local app authenticated me it said "permission denied" for activation
[18:43:25] <progo> ^ with the catch-all Windows VM
[18:44:35] <progo> for a given job, I use text editors first, and if it's an Office file I will use LibreOffice if I can, and if that fails, I fall back on MS Office
[18:45:02] <progo> need to have it ready for me but I don't use it much
[18:46:05] <janrinok> better to be prepared than find you suddenly can't do something.
[18:46:14] <progo> my coworker E who has someone reporting to her (while I do not) is concerned about this "no more IT control" plan
[18:46:42] <progo> I can't say she's wrong :^)
[18:47:20] <progo> "prepared for MS Office" -- we developers were also given an Amazon "VDI" remote desktop where we can use MS Office and a few other things under IT control
[18:47:35] <progo> so there's that, for me. technically I can get by with no local MS Office install
[18:48:12] <progo> but, man, switching from Windows to KDE Plasma Desktop is a HUGE quality of life improvement
[18:48:45] <progo> and now I've read back and oh boy! sorry janrinok you're having a bad day!
[18:50:39] <janrinok> it's OK - these things happen
[18:51:18] <progo> database server went offline?
[18:52:16] <janrinok> sort of - it seems we need to increase the memory on the machines running the clusters as they are struggling to cope with the existing config.
[18:52:31] <progo> ah
[18:53:20] <janrinok> It took a while to work out what was happening (well one of the problems) and we have a plan. We will probably have to restructure our hardware to make it simpler to manage as we currently do not have the same community demand.
[18:54:14] <progo> have you tried mongodb? mongodb is webscale. (I mean this as nothing but a bad joke.)
[18:54:31] <progo> http://www.mongodb-is-web-scale.com
[18:54:32] <systemd> ^ 03MongoDB is web scale
[18:55:04] <progo> seriously, good luck and thanks for all the free labor
[18:57:01] <janrinok> well it is mechanicjay doing all the heavy lifting - I'm wearing a short skirt and cheering from the sidelines!
[18:57:13] <progo> hot
[18:57:16] <janrinok> not
[18:59:16] <janrinok> time for me to go - it is late evening here and my day is done!
[18:59:25] <progo> have a good night
[18:59:58] <janrinok> thanks - you have a good suitable temporal greeting too!
