@balpha KennyBOT status message? chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/… ;)

But yeah, there should have been a limit always.

Not having one was the bug, IMO. :)

@Starship nice find, lol. How did you find it? SEDE?

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog sadly I can't see any way this can be improved. If we'll not let users delete the question even if there's answer with no upvotes, it means risking leaving low quality answers around for no good reason.

The only way I can see is just to explain in comments in case it's repeating behavior.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@ShadowWizard I wasn't advocating for that. There's a longstanding feature request to impose a 24-hour delay on self-deleting questions if they get answered, to allow for time for one or more upvote(s) or other answer(s) to be provided. Also note that high-rep users aren't subject to the imposed-on-authors limits when voting to delete others' posts.

Many years ago there used to be a 48-hour delay on authors deleting their questions if they got closed.

Shadow Wizard

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog I see. That would be fair, but still, one more small thing with high chance of annoying new users. Overall, I do support it, yeah.

Anyway, @balpha if you have a moment to spare, please give some quick official seal to this. Thanks! :)

lol who says I'm not patient?

;-)

(though looks like it's not really done, at least not the way I asked for...)

@Starship ah, nice!

@M.A.R. isn't that the reason Pastafarianism mentions a "beer volcano and rivers"?

(which probably means that One Piece's ova Glorious Island is to be considered Pastafarianism propaganda)

@Tinkeringbell Just fill the cardboard boxes you get packages in with tap water.

Tinkeringbell

@AndreascondemnsIsrael Those aren't plastified...

Oh well. I'll survive on cola :P

I'll just be really stinky and/or sticky :P

Andreas condemns Israel

@Tinkeringbell Ew!

Tinkeringbell

I know, I know.

Should have some rum or whisky in it to be good, but depending on the kind of disaster getting inebriated doesn't sound like a great plan :P

Andreas condemns Israel

I just died on the inside.

Tinkeringbell

Yeah I tend to do that after the rum/whisky too :P

Shadow Wizard

14:37

died, or dyed?

Andreas condemns Israel

Died, dryed, dyed, spied, flied, byed, tried, tied

Shadow Wizard

tying @Andreas

Andreas condemns Israel

What, you're gonna dump me in the river afterwards?

Journeyman Geek

wait, afterwards?

Shadow Wizard

@AndreascondemnsIsrael no silly, in my car.

Journeyman Geek

14:43

then dump the car in the river!

Andreas condemns Israel

@ShadowWizard Exciting, where are we going?!

@JourneymanGeek Polluting the ocean with vehicles is not a nice thing to do.

Shadow Wizard

@AndreascondemnsIsrael to the forest, of course.

Journeyman Geek

so the sewage treament plant?

Andreas condemns Israel

@JourneymanGeek They are designed to handle poop, not metals, electronics, plastics, textiles, and what else is in a car.

Shadow Wizard

@AndreascondemnsIsrael my car also has bottles.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael yes! There.

Andreas condemns Israel

14:48

@ShadowWizard Calling the police

Journeyman Geek

@AndreascondemnsIsrael well and you

Shadow Wizard

@AndreascondemnsIsrael flooding the police car

:-D

Andreas condemns Israel

The amount of crimes you two commit...

Shadow Wizard

UniKitty has drawn this.

Anyway, many things to add to the recent feature changes post... @Sonic you plan to edit it? I can add couple, but will likely miss some as well.

Spevacus

15:04

@ShadowWizard Ah, I see you didn't read the fine print. It's actually 6 to 8 (+4.5)

Andreas condemns Israel

Oh, yeah, about that.

@ShadowWizard You nag too often.

Shadow Wizard

@Spevacus :D

@AndreascondemnsIsrael I agree! Poor Nick, no wonder he left SE.

;-)

But sometimes nagging is working!

Andreas condemns Israel

@ShadowWizard Forever will his tombstone have your name imprinted.

It is such a delight to have ignored SD.

Petəíŕd the Wizard

15:59

@ShadowWizard oh and @FOX's >>listlinks command is now completely useless... :-(

Shadow Wizard

@AndreascondemnsIsrael how you know he posted then? ;)

@PetəíŕdtheWizard yeah, but that's less... urgent. ;)

Petəíŕd the Wizard

@ShadowWizard transcript

Shadow Wizard

You added it, so you can also fix it, no? ;)

(e.g. make it split to several messages)

Petəíŕd the Wizard

Maybe.

Shadow Wizard

Yes!

Petəíŕd the Wizard

16:00

But it's hacky and ugly.

Shadow Wizard

16:14

But it works!

The other options are trimming it to show only first/last X links, or have SE remove the restriction from FOX, which isn't likely to happen, if possible at all. :D

Petəíŕd the Wizard

Well, yeah.

Andreas condemns Israel

@ShadowWizard By the sight of a clean Tavern.

Shadow Wizard

lol

@Tinkeringbell if you plan to live on rum alone please let me know.

> There's a Danish film called Jolly Roger (a.k.a. Framtids Jakten), which is about two Archangels accidentally losing the octopus of destiny (or, as it is more commonly referred to, "the Time Squid") and sending the Janitor of Heaven (who's an eastern European immigrant) down to hell to retrieve the greatest pirate ever to sail the seven seas so that he can, accompanied by his modern-day granddaughter, take the Squid back from a bunch of modern-day pirates who think that a good way to handle the Time Squid, the object without which the entire fabric of creation would simply unravel, is to …

I'll switch your nickname to "the Time Parrot" (context found in the post above)

Does SO (not SE) have a proper chat room for discussing site-related things? found something I wanted to poke to the mods (some bad reviews) and ... all the chat rooms seem to be bot related things

Spevacus

17:40

@Joe SO chat has its own "Bad Stack Overflow reviews" chat room here: chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/208985 you can report them and mods will periodically take a look.

VLAZ

@Joe Yeah, BSOR for bad reviews. But SOCVR usually works for most curation-related stuff. A lot of mods also frequent the room. There is also the Meta Room which is technically for all things on-site. When it's not poking fun of meta posts, at least.

Joe

ty!

that room looks very not used but I'll put it there and let whatever happen that happens :)

VLAZ

Yeah, not bustling with activity... but it's the right place, nonetheless. I think at least a couple of mods take a look at it periodically.

We also should really have checked that the old water tower was disconnected from the water system before we started filling it with compressed air.

rene

22:30

Meta doesn't load for me (just a 500), anyone else with problems?

cocomac

@rene I can't get to MSE either (also got the 500 error)

rene

I pinged a CM to see if this is a known issue. And asking for guidance where to post a bug ...

cocomac

Oh that's interesting. curl 'https://meta.stackexchange.com' | less seems to work. Maybe this? Might a Cloudflare issue then

rene

where are you in the world?

Spevacus

I haven't experienced any errors today. A couple slow page loads but no errors.

I'm eastern US.

Couple folks in Discord are experiencing 500s too, though.

rene

22:43

Hmm, works on firefox, not on chrome.

Starship

@Spevacus I have a 500…. @rene

On chrome too

cocomac

BC, Canada using Firefox (not working). curl works from EC2 and a random VM in west USA. Curiously, curl also works from WSL2 on this machine.

Starship

Safari doesn’t work but edge does

@Spevacus I’m in east US too…strange

MSO is giving me a different error

cocomac

MSO works fine for me

Starship

That's what I get

Spevacus

22:48

LOL

That Windows XP error dialog is 10/10

Starship

Strangely now MSO works...

But still get error when trying to ask question

This is strange

Does @balpha know?

cocomac

stackstatus says this. IDK if it's related though

> ny-mlredis02 SSD replacements

> 2 SSDs are dead. Working with remote hands to replace.

cocomac

23:05

Ah, now it's reporting MSE down

Slate

hi, and thank you for the reports!

Journeyman Geek

23:22

I get reminded of the joke about how hardware 'knows' its going to be replaced and starts dying faster

rene

at least I'm back here.

cocomac

It's back for me too

Starship

@Slate Back now

Andreas condemns Israel

23:42

@Spevacus 7, not XP.

Actually, it looks like Windows 8.

Yeah, 8.0.

My back hurts, too, btw.

Journeyman Geek

@AndreascondemnsIsrael yer gettin old

Andreas condemns Israel

@JourneymanGeek It’s the shoulder injury, it’s been reclassified as grade 3+ or 4, or something like that.

Journeyman Geek

then your shoulder should hurt

Andreas condemns Israel

Shoulder ain’t ever getting good again.

@JourneymanGeek That’s not how it works.
