suspicious chat flags on the other chat site.

Seems handled

There's nothing pending anymore, at least

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell yep, probably. May be worth investigating more because of the specific user involved.

Tinkeringbell

Meh

SPArcheon

I had a look at the transcript and they didn't seem the wrongdoers this time.

there may be some undeserved hate at work there.

Tinkeringbell

To be honest, I don't really care. Maybe someone else will want to do a thorough investigation and waste more time on that specific user though.

old post, off-topic to my understanding, voted to close but is there something more I can or should do? meta.stackexchange.com/questions/300294/is-the-jekyll-blog-dead

Spevacus

Kinda cool/interesting situation: Voted to delete this question which had a delete vote from ChrisF before he became a moderator here. Following, the post is now considered moderator-deleted and I can't vote to undelete it (which is fine, not like I wanted to, just interesting)

Mithical

@tripleee Why is it off-topic?

It's about the blog.

Answered by a then-staff-member.

Luuklag

@Spevacus sounds like an accurate case of checking permissions

tripleee

oh sorry, my bad, I thought they were asking about the Github thing called Jekyll

Luuklag

Mmmm appears something is broken:

[02-Nov-2021 10:16:33 Europe/Amsterdam] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Could not connect to the FTP server' thrown in /home/id212553/domains/milieumeetlat.nl/public_html/system/libraries/FTP.php on line 104

in my site, so no longer got access to the CMS :/

2:04 PM

still up: one (MS) two (MS) three (MS) four (MS) ...

There are at least six spam posts still alive on Bitcoin.SE (bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/111714/45390 bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/111716/45390 bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/111713/45390 bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/111712/45390 bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/111710/45390 bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/111708/45390)

tripleee

... five (MS) Bitcoin spam posts (SD report)(

oh nvm then (-:

Mithical

(and ethereum.stackexchange.com/a/118491/6488 on Ethereum.SE)

Luuklag

@Mithical first 2 are gone now

Spevacus

@Mithical Got rid of the last of the ones in this message.

Mithical

2:10 PM

(thumbsup)

Spevacus

Bit satisfying to cast the last flag on 3 or 4 in a row

Mithical

Charcoal could probably use some new members; things are taking a lot longer to be nuked. If you know anyone who'd be interested in fighting spam, send them over in that direction.

@tripleee want me to pin something like that in here for a few days?

tripleee

2:25 PM

@Mithical excellent, thanks

I was thinking people are taking a few weeks off to plan their new year promises but it's not like we don't appreciate additional volunteers regardless, especially folks who are familiar with the sites

Mithical

...aaaaand I hit the flag button while pinning it. *facepalm*

Tinkeringbell

Might work best if it's not flagged :P

Feeds

The Great Resignation is here. What does that mean for developers?

Eira May on January 10, 2022

Nearly two years into the pandemic, many Americans are reevaluating their relationship with work.

Tinkeringbell

@Feeds Oh... this is not about people finally resigning to the fact that there's a pandemic and following the rules, keeping everyone safe?!

Journeyman Geek

2:53 PM

@Tinkeringbell lol. I wish I could quit my job 😅

Tinkeringbell

I've resigned to the fact that you can't :P

Spevacus

I'm moving to a new state and I'm planning on continuing to work at this place remote... If they let me (I've asked and should hear back today, if it doesn't work out I've got some options ready) but also monetary compensation is a bit of a sticking point. I'm not being paid what my previous colleagues are being paid now since they moved out of state and all.

My workplace has not been great about trying to get us (the software team) to work remote, and it's been a bit frustrating especially as we get folks who know they're sick coming in and causing a COVID breakout.

Tinkeringbell

Ugh that truly sucks! If I could, (can't, legal stuff), I'd quit working for this company someday and continue working for the current client. Just because there'd be less overhead then. But it wouldn't really be an improvement in benefits (just different ones, so they offset each other).

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell How strange that your employer won't let you go work for their clients directly... Who would've expected that....

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, weird huh :P

Spevacus

2:59 PM

: )

Luuklag

You got a Switch, if I recall right @tink?

Tinkeringbell

At least they've been pretty okay-ish at keeping everyone safe so far. (though, there has been peer pressure to join e.g. bbq's)

Luuklag

a Nintendo one, that is

Tinkeringbell

Yes :D

For the other kind of Switch, probably ask @JourneymanGeek ;)

Luuklag

We got ourselfs one for christmas too :)

Tinkeringbell

3:00 PM

Nice, what have you been playing so far?

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell Overcooked 2

Spevacus

Ooh, that's a fun one. Played the first one as well, we always ended up yelling at each other :D

It's a surprisingly difficult game to get everyone coordinating right.

Tinkeringbell

Sounds fun, never played it myself (not big on the co-op games :|)

Luuklag

@Spevacus yeah I don't think there is a level we finished in the first go

Tinkeringbell

Whatever free time I had this weekend was spent playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond

Luuklag

3:03 PM

@Tinkeringbell Yeah my wife and me like to play together, otherwise its just one person watching, which is kinda lame xD

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, I can imagine co-ops are a bit more attractive when you're not the only person in the house/gaming :)

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell yup

Tinkeringbell

If you want another one that's kinda fun to play together, Stardew Valley might be nice. I played that one with a few online strangers a few times, and it's also one of those games where you can achieve a lot by coordinating properly :)

Spevacus

@Feeds I love how I identify with almost everything in this blog post: Burnout, the ability to make more money elsewhere, deserving better working conditions, wanting more vacation time, wanting a better work-life balance... I typically don't care much for the articles in the blog, but this one was a nice read overall.

Tinkeringbell

who doesn't want more vacation time?! :D

Spevacus

3:11 PM

Well, more than two weeks, both of which are chosen for me would be nice. We have a company shutdown for a week in the summer. If you have not yet used a week of paid vacation by this point in the year, you are required to take it during that shutdown. Then, for Christmastime, you're required to take the last of your vacation then if you haven't yet used it.

Tinkeringbell

Wow. Yeah that is very little

I have 5 weeks, 3 days to use at my discretion, + 2 days I can only use on set days. I still feel it's not enough XD

Spevacus

That's plenty more than the U.S. folks get, but that still does feel quite little.

2/3 weeks here is pretty common unless you're working a state/federal job.

Or are working at an actual nice company :)

Tinkeringbell

If I could, I'd be working 3 or 4 days a week instead (then the vacation days would stretch further too! :P). Technically, I should already be able to manage 4 days financially. But that'd have negative consequences for the amount of retirement money I save up.
