1:44 AM
this chat seems very dead is ther a different chat that is more active
 
it comes and goes in bursts
and depends what you're looking to chat about.
 
talk about anything
 
This is probably the most active room where "anything" is more-or-less on-topic.
 
oh
 
For more specific things, there are three chat servers: Chat.SO, Chat.SE, and Chat.MSE (this one)
 
2:38 AM
What is the proper close reason for questions like this one? The "too localized" one is gone, so I'm not sure what to use instead
 
3:20 AM
@cocomac "Not reproducible or caused by a typo" (emphasis on the former here)
 
There is no question, only ZUUUUL
 
4:02 AM
@RyanM Thanks!

@tripleee Thanks, we'll take a look at it
 
6:16 AM
@JourneymanGeek RE meta.stackexchange.com/questions/375054/…: I wanted to set a precedent that users should include details in posts themselves, rather than depending on others to add in information for them. This felt like a pattern from the filer in question and I wanted to try and stop it.
(edited to link to correct comment)
 
@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Well on the other hand, that set a risk of closing a question that described a real issue
That affected the entire network
It was obvious enough for me but BSMP's comment clarified it was unclear, and I have a better workflow for gifs
 
Also, it did describe how to reproduce it: edit a post.
Literally that is all you have to do to reproduce it.
 
And in this case you do the 'most' good by setting an example and editing over closing and pointing out how OP is wrong.
 
Given the tag I figured closing it wouldn't be an issue since it was already in SE's escalation list.
 
._.
No
Its an issue
Nothing gets me more annoyed than "Strict interpretation of the letter of the rules" over "what does the community most good"
And not all devs are 'familiar' with MSE to the level us MSE denizens are, and if it was closed, folks might assume its cause its not an issue
OOH
If you hit cancel the post vanishes
 
6:25 AM
@RyanM It didn't specify that the bug was with the inline editor initially. If I tested on a site where I had <2k rep, I wouldn't be able to reproduce and would be left hanging
 
That's worth editing in
I've found and added an additional issue to the bug report :D
I don't even remember that there's a 2k+ editor
There! Edited in!
 
To be clear, most of the time, I do edit others' reports to make them clearer. I just felt a pattern of the user depending on others to fill in details for them while making their own reports unclear, and wanted to put a stop to that.
 
Its not about the user, its about the post :)
 
For if they later file another such unclear report about a true issue but no one deciphers the correct steps to reproduce, there's a true bug report that goes down the drain.
 
Oh if its that unclear, sure
That it relied on a gif? Not great but fixable
 
6:52 AM
@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog They may not have realized that that's a thing. And in any case there was a screen recording showing them reproducing it.

o/
 
How are you Tink? Already getting used to your own place?
 
I'm still alive and not sick, which is a good thing as the 'own place' has mold and booklice.
 
Well, that sounds like a great start xD
 
I've seemed to reach the 'crash course in home ownership' part of life.
 
8:44 AM
Are the builders going to fix that?
 
Dunno. Not going to wait, still waiting on one to come look at the toilet. I'm going to move the washing machine tonight so I can reach the ceiling spot that has mold and just douse it in bleach myself.
 
Be sure to get some good pictures before you do that.
 
I hope its just a case of the builders not having dried out your apartment enough before handing you the keys
and not some leakage elsewhere

8:55 AM
@Luuklag I think it's just that the apartment is really wet, yeah. I can't get the humidity in it to go below 45%, even with the mechanical fans on all day.
And we've just had a span of really wet weather too, it was even worse then. 50% humidity was a good day.
Showering, taking a bath, cleaning, cooking... and I still don't have a pavement outside so I need to hang the laundry inside too... it all makes the humidity spike even more.
On the plus side, the mechanical ventilation is a great white noise generator.
 
@Tinkeringbell hahaha "elk nadeel heb zijn voordeel"
 
And 'elk voordeel heb zijn nadeel'.... it's great white noise when you're trying to sleep, it's also not that annoying when working... but when you try to watch some TV, it's 'strontirritant'
 
hmmm yeah that sucks
 
9:19 AM
0_0
@Tinkeringbell eep. (also I think new apartments have indoor clothes drying here... )
 
You could buy a clothes dryer that vents to the outside, that would also save a lot of moisture, or one that condenses it
 
@JourneymanGeek Technically, I don't think it should've been a problem. A bathroom should be made for hot showers, long steamy baths, and drying clothes shouldn't be much of a problem then either, especially not if you use the mechanical ventilation (and I did that, run it for an hour once I just took the stuff out of the machine)
@Luuklag Oh, I'm not using anything fancy... I just put it on a rack to dry!
 
@Tinkeringbell yeah that's the problem xD
 
also... no pavement? 0_0
 
If you use a dryer it extracts the moisture out of the air
You could ofcourse buy an arconditioning to bring moisture levels further down
 
9:25 AM
@JourneymanGeek I'm hopefully getting tiles in the backyard soon, but for now it's just one big pile of mud.
I have a tiny path from the front door to the sidewalk, but I'm not going to put my laundry there for everyone to see XD
 
lol
(of course traditionally we hang clothes on bamboo poles, which have advantages, but literally no one outside singapore 'gets' how it works)
 
@Luuklag I mostly find that a waste of energy (and thus, money). I have a washing machine that can also do the drying, I've used it three or four times now for the bedsheets as they're too big for the rack. But it costs a lot of energy and you need to iron everything after. And it's not feeling as 'fresh' as stuff that's been outside in the wind drying for a while :(
I'll see about buying airconditioning after this summer. No use spending a lot of money on that if I can just keep the apartment cool enough with screens and the heatpump.
 
@Tinkeringbell meh I don't ever Iron our bedsheets, I just put them right back on the bed. No use in ironing them when they'll be crackled right after.
 
@Luuklag I think she means laundry in general :D
 
Yes, the laundry in general. But I did iron the bedsheets, because it's really, really, really bad when it comes out of the drying cycle, so bad even I can't recreate it by sleeping.
 
9:53 AM
@Mithical the statistics we have seem to indicate that our deletion times are pretty stable though; maybe see also Teams post from today

11:54 AM
@tripleee my subjective impression is that a lot more is ending up in here than usual
 
that could simply be because I have intensified my presence here (-:
 
12:20 PM
mmmmm google mailing me that some of my stored passwords are found in a hack, sounds fishy to begin with...
 
lol
google will just warn you when you try to log in with chrome
 
yeah, which means they unhash my passwords at some point...
 
Or they compare a hashed version of the leaked password with the hashed version of your password
 
@JourneymanGeek hmmm yeah that could be true as well. They know which hash to use obviously

Oh wow, its in Smokey twice now, once caught, and once manually reported by me
 
@Luuklag why it is a bot
 
@Leah Yes, it's a bot
any mods around to nuke this one: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/375066
or better said the user
 
2:51 PM
@Luuklag all cleaned up :)
While on the topic, apparently 1108 users were destroyed in 2021, here's to a better number next year ;)
 
3:07 PM
@Tinkeringbell What would be better, more or less?
 
I think more. I'm not expecting there to be less spam, and I think there are quite enough spammers that aren't destroyed yet ;)
So less would mean we're letting stuff slip, which isn't 'better' :P
