That's actually worth a meta post about

if there isn't one already

I wonder if, for older posts, you could pull it out of SEDE...

(just spitballing here)

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Yeah I think SEDE is how I'd need to do it, if memory serves.

Journeyman Geek

I know a few people have scripts to fix things (and i suspect they'll chime in when concious)

stackapps might help too

sorry I'm not more useful. Not had my coffee yet :D

The forest of Reinstate Monica

What's that? I don't have a phone so I can't run apps.

DavidPostill

@TheforestofReinstateMonica What site?

The forest of Reinstate Monica

man7.org

They recently added https support.

Journeyman Geek

00:04

@DavidPostill probably security.se :D

(IIRC that's where forest is mainly active in)

DavidPostill

@TheforestofReinstateMonica I meant what se site do you need the links fixing on

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Security.SE

There are probably one or two on Crypto.SE but it's less likely I'd be linking to kernel information on a site about cryptographic theory and mathematics.

@TheforestofReinstateMonica security.stackexchange.com/search?q=man7.org

9 results

The forest of Reinstate Monica

@DavidPostill The search won't show links like [vDSO](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/vdso.7.html)

Case in point: security.stackexchange.com/search?q=user%3A165253+man7.org

@TheforestofReinstateMonica https://security.stackexchange.com/search?q=url%3A%22*http%3A%2F%2Fman7.org%22 catches that one.

The forest of Reinstate Monica

oh cool!

security.stackexchange.com/… for my entries. Guess I should get started.

@TheforestofReinstateMonica if you think there's going to be support for it - (and eh, 26 entires over say 2 weeks won't hurt) - might be worth adding a meta post saying you're going to do that, and why

optional but a good idea

The forest of Reinstate Monica

I'll go through my posts and try to make meaningful edits or improvements in addition to changing the URLs.

15,000+ posts might just warrant asking a CM nicely. Possibly via an MSE post.

The forest of Reinstate Monica

@RyanM Is there a policy of changing http to https for sites that support it?

It would be nice if that could be automated transparently.

Ryan M

I don't believe there's a blanket policy (for one, it'd be difficult to detect) and so it's generally handled more case-by-case.

They did rewrite all Stack Exchange HTTP links to be HTTPS

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Are the mass-edits done transparently, or do they always bump posts?

Ryan M

Devs can mass-edit without bumping (one example)

The forest of Reinstate Monica

By devs do you mean the actual Stack Exchange DBAs?

Ryan M

01:23

Not necessarily DBAs specifically, but yes, only Stack Exchange employees can do it (and, I think, not all SE employees)

The forest of Reinstate Monica

So there's no mod interface to perform that action; they need raw server access.

Ryan M

Yep

The forest of Reinstate Monica

That's unfortunate. It would be nice if one could edit posts without bumping them in a way similar to 4chan's sage. I often wish to make trivial improvements (grammar and style) but don't want to bump my own posts all the time.

Ryan M

There are some feature-requests for that, but the short answer is that it's very difficult to do that without opening an avenue for abuse (e.g., editing spam into posts)

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Could make it a privilege you get with rep.

@rene two of the three kids still do it, yeah. :)

@MetaAndrewT. Happy R.I.P Hour

@Rob nah, somehow they never did it. Only pee. :)

@user1271772 true, I love to solve mysteries. ;)

@TheforestofReinstateMonica when will man8.org switch?

@TheforestofReinstateMonica Its been suggested lots of times

Or at least no bump, but needs review. Its something even mods don't get to have :(

(though there was a workaround in the past. Delete, edit, undelete, but that got abused)

Shadow Wizard is Vaccinating

@JourneymanGeek that's why we can't have good things... :(

DavidPostill

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating What is it?

@DavidPostill steam coming out of the ground due to extreme heat, and nobody knows why.

So the authorities dig around trying to figure what's going on, and of course thermal scans, but so far nothing was found.

My assumption is that it's something with the underground rail system:

Tel Aviv Light Rail

The Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area Mass-Transit System is a planned mass transit system for the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area. The system will include different types of rapid transit like light rail (which will run underground in some areas), bus and more. Work on the Red Line, the first in the project, started on September 21, 2011 following years of preparatory works, and is expected to be completed in late 2022 after numerous delays. Construction of the Purple line started in December 2018. Work on the Green line was set to begin in January 2019. == History == The first proposals for a tramway in...

It does include underground digging, so they probably hit something they shouldn't hit.

@DavidPostill why? Link to site even asking "Google this" - rude spammer, not ordinary spammer. I'm pretty sure their only goal is to increase their Google rank and never intended to ask any real question. But meh, not really important. :D

Meta Andrew T.

The site... is (was?) not infected on my browser though...

and I probably should learn Bahasa Biak now...

DavidPostill

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating Yeah, I was in two minds and gave him the benefit of the doubt ...

Shadow Wizard is Vaccinating

@MetaAndrewT. not surprising. Thanks for risking your ~~life~~ device for the sake of checking. :D

@DavidPostill well, I flagged as spam but since a mod edited it to remove the spam link doubt it will gather 6.

Meta Andrew T.

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating well, it might be malware on OP's device instead :p

@MetaAndrewT. leading to spammers dating site? ;)

Was there already a bug report on Meta Stack Exchange that hats might prevent users from being able to click on profile/activity? (I have noticed this for the Quarantine Hair hat.)

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, there is one.

Q: Hats can block page controls

Depending on how a user places his hat it may become hard to impossible to click e.g. the "Activity" button on a users profile-page - like e.g. here: When trying to click the visible part of "Activity" I always end up on that users hat-list.
