Q: Facing the curtain (of the ICU)

I realised that Health.SE is not much fun for me anymore. Explaining why this is the case would take too long and feel somewhat like a rant, but this has been covered in multiple Meta threads and chats, if you are interested. Furthermore, I don't give the current site a chance of survival. ...

@ShaWizDowArd no. It is not like that. It is prepaid. If we pay, we can use that for the particular time. That is if you pay Rs. 153 on January, you can use it for 30 days and then if you didn't pay, you won't be able to use it. Then if you pay the same in June or July, you can use it for 30 days.

Q: Chat moderation tools are insufficient for combatting star spam

Lately in The Nineteenth Byte (I know, it's always us), we've been dealing with an issue where one or more users have decided that spamming stars on every recent message is funny. While moderators and room owners can cancel stars on messages, there is no effective way to deal with a determined st...

ah you added bounty already

TheLittleNaruto

@rene I see.

@foriin6-8weeks Yes

Let's just hope Mods will have a look on it.

Bart

@DonQuiKong their MO seems to be to consistently write such content and post it on various sites all over the web. Of course this isn't a problem if it's their own content. And although I'm sure it's meant to be somewhat self-promotional, as long as they don't link elsewhere, or try to get you to buy into anything they may have to offer, I'd say it isn't spam.

@Elias but the same user posted the question. hell, it's not even a question, it just exists to give a quorum to the answer

It's basically "how does my tool help you?" "this is how" in a QA format

Bart

10:55

@DonQuiKong where is the "tool" though? It's not promoting anything other than the concept of a vlog? And self-answering is not a problem. That said, if it's bad content for the site, downvote it. If it's off-topic, vote to close.

@rene kids these days. Back in my day we had exams scheduled for 27 hours per day, uphill.

oh, I can't help there.

If its chat.se, sure.

@Epodax so you need SO moderator, that's a totally different thing than MSE mod

Post link to the room any maybe someone will unfreeze it if you have good enough reason.

@ShaWizDowArd I know, but I was pointed here from the SO php room, there used to be a tavern chat on the SO chat but can't find it anywhere.

@foriin6-8weeks of course not, nobody asked the Tavern to be unfrozen.

Epodax

Not that room I want unfrozen regardless :)

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@Epodax still didn't say what room he want unfrozen.

IMO better ask it all in one single message, not in series of 100 messages

"Hello, can any SO mod please unfreeze [chat room link here]"?

Short, simple.

for i in 6-8 weeks

in that room, I think @feeds is the only person talks

@ShaWizDowArd I got ahold of a mod in the SO chat, but my thought was to find a mod and ask / inquire in a 1-1 room in order to avoid flooding this room with 100 messages :)

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@Epodax is it SFW?

for i in 6-8 weeks

@JourneymanGeek hmm that one is about magnet links

Epodax

@ShaWizDowArd It's a torrent site, so I should guess so.

Journeyman Geek

naw, about piracy and how its not really something for chat.

for i in 6-8 weeks

I didn't care that much about piracy

I mean I expose my identity even to porn sites

I didn't found any problem with that

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

12:33

@foriin6-8weeks nopes. They get illegal copies of movies and upload them to servers. And make money from advertisements, so it's not different from actual thieves who sell what they stole in market. Those who download are not thieves themselves, but they do help the thieves and cause great harm to the whole system.

Not that we need to pity the movie makers, they still make billions, but still...

for i in 6-8 weeks

@ShaWizDowArd FMPOV they work hard to get the copy of the movie and make money from ads. They didn't even charge from us. They make money by other means just for food(poor people) so downloading such things are part of charity

I got the torrent of the amazon version of transformers but it is 10.37gb in size

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@foriin6-8weeks still, it feels wrong.

Epodax

just download from reputable users and you'll be fine, movie files vary greatly in size and quality.

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

I sometimes download movies, but it's rare. :)

@foriin6-8weeks 10gb makes sense for full length movie in HD format

10gb for a movie is large considering you can get most around 1g-4gb in size, but it's not unrealistically large.

but the site is still there.

It is some kind of work. TPB's servers are shut down, the people got arrested and still the site is up and running

in the clouds. no one knows from where it serves

So I can imagine people annoying higher rep users to do their homework for them

just download and then remove the torrent

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

Never grasped the idea of seeding. (in the context of torrents)

Journeyman Geek

@ShaWizDowArd torrents rely on people who have the fiie sharing it...

@ShaWizDowArd "Never grasped the idea of seeding." -- what do you mean?

@Charles I keep seeing this term used, but don't understand what it means.

people who share that thing

leechers means people who stealing it

Journeyman Geek

(I posted that answer high as a kite. Was amusing when I went "I posted WHAT? IT GOT WHAT UPVOTES?"

Oded

@ShaWizDowArd - a seeder is someone who already downloaded the whole torrent as is keeping it running in order for others to get it.

Or do you mean - why would anyone do that?

Journeyman Geek

Cause its polite? ;p

Oded

It is the social thing to do, sure. Dunno if polite is how I would phrase that.

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@JourneymanGeek so that's seeding?

f* ck f * ck removed some pieces of code to found the unnecessary codes (because there are many) and saved. editor crashed and can't undo the sh*t

Journeyman Geek

@ShaWizDowArd more or less giving copies of data you have to people who don't have em...

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@Oded oh, so as long as it's not fully loaded, one isn't a seeder?

Oded

@foriin6-8weeks "and that, children, is why we always use source control"

Journeyman Geek

14:52

@ShaWizDowArd not necessarily

I didn't used git for this work

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@foriin6-8weeks backup. backup. backup.

Journeyman Geek

you can seed a "chunk" of a file you downloaded, without the whole file.

@ShaWizDowArd from what?

Oded

@ShaWizDowArd well... technically you start sharing as soon as you have the first piece, but a seeder is someone who has the whole (possibly just parts of a) thing and is just there to share it.

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

14:53

Well, when I do use torrent client I do leave it open for several hours to several days even after I finished "using" it. So am I nice? @Journeyman @Oded ;)

Oded

In many torrent clients, a peer becomes a seeder once they hit 100% of the download.

@ShaWizDowArd makes you a good torrent citizen

Journeyman Geek

yup

for i in 6-8 weeks

@ShaWizDowArd that's bad practise. once the file downloaded, remove the torrent entry and exit the tor client. closing will make it run background. exit is good

Journeyman Geek

@foriin6-8weeks if everyone did that then who'd you download the file from? ;)

for i in 6-8 weeks

@JourneymanGeek there are people like @Sha who seeds. so hope not everyone will do so

Journeyman Geek

14:56

But that's where it comes back to etiquette ;)

user367193

A seeder = someone who has the entire file, and is publishing it for others to download some, or all, of the data associated with that torrent. a leech= someone who is receiving data that is associated with a torrent. That being said, you do not have to be a seeder in order for people to get data from you, since you can send data that belongs to a torrent while you are also receiving data of the same torrent.

user367193

It's like a puzzle, and instead of getting all pieces from a single person, you get a few from bob, a few from sally, etc. And, what's more, is that while you are obtaining all the pieces (from various sources), you can also allow other people who don't have the same pieces as you, to copy the pieces you do have so far.

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@foriin6-8weeks before making breaking changes, backup, even just to temporary file

@foriin6-8weeks why?

Why not let others download from me?

Journeyman Geek

@ShaWizDowArd cause he's paranoid about getting caught, but wants to download anyway ;)

for i in 6-8 weeks

@ShaWizDowArd I'm trying to find unnecessary pieces of codes and this is the first time VS code crashes
