@JasonC Frankly, she's gone. I'd rather deal with new problems than be bitter over years old greviences

@JasonC I've had that happen. Suuuuuucccccckkkksssssss

@starball ohhh, neat!

@Tinkeringbell you deleted off topic question I thought would survive few more hours, so I can rant about it bit more. :P

@M.A.R. I'm too shy, can't talk about such things when people watching

@starball lol in Den you were exposed to some good stuff, yep. :D

@ShadowWizardChasingStars I have stockholm syndrome for the den :D

@JasonC oh my, missed that message. Sorry to hear! But yeah, these days companies are in total panic. Where did you work?

@starball Helsinki Syndrome actually

@starball LOL, it does feel like you're hostage there sometimes. :D

@JourneymanGeek wrong

> Helsinki syndrome is a term sometimes used incorrectly instead of Stockholm syndrome

@ShadowWizardChasingStars That's what they want you to think

@JourneymanGeek oh you refer to a movie

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED that maybe helsinki syndrome is why you think its called stockholm syndrome?

Den ain't no movie, good sir. It's the real thing. :D

and they are messing with your mind?

@JourneymanGeek my mind is so messed anyway, that nobody can mess it any further. :D

probably example.com blacklisted, pity.

@Mithical with the thousands of blacklisted sites and key words we're approaching the day when all posts will be reported.

You can look at the domain history on metasmoke

metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/domains/23873 - two spam posts from 3-4 years ago

although the domain was blacklisted long before that...

looks like it was blacklisted in 2016?

metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/… - lots of TPs from 2016 / 2017

rubs eyes and grumbles Did someone ping me? Hasn't it been years?

@Mithical Well it's fine and needed to blacklist domains when there's spam wave, or even just fresh spam of that domain, but it's not fine to leave it blacklisted for eternity, resulting at some point in falser positives when people just mention those sites.

I'd go with automatically removing sites from blacklist after a while, e.g. one year.

@C.Ross >_>

NOT I!

(I don't even remember who you are)

@C.Ross usually that's my doing, but don't remember pinging you recently, let me check...

meh only 11.5 years since your last message, @C.R

Yup

@ShadowWizardChasingStars ITS YOUR FAULT

@JourneymanGeek that's always true

:P

@JourneymanGeek ROFL

Forgot about it lol

I only saw it because I logged in to upvote JonSkeet. How very 2011.

But @Meta is to blame, he lured me into that! :D

(trying to reply to message #1)

@C.Ross who's it? Looks familiar

Oof, my profile here still says moderator. I need to fix that ...

@C.Ross yup chat profile is something most people forget about. And the se.com profile. lol

One has to update five different places.

More, if you're on a Team.

(SO, SE, and MSE each has its own chat domain)

@Mithical hehe, yeah.

@ShadowWizardChasingStars Assuming you're not being sarcastic, the once (and apparently still) highest reputed SO user. He even has memes.

@C.Ross me? sarcastic? Ask anyone here, they'll tell you. :P

@C.Ross hope you're not cold, looks like you forgot to wear your hat.

Take anything @Sha says with a grain of salt. Several, actually. A few pinches of salt. Add a dash of black pepper, a bit of ginger, and simmer for a few hours.

@Mithical yummy soup!

Now that's something that can keep one warm even in the coldest climate. :P

@ShadowWizardChasingStars Well setting you on fire would too!

@JourneymanGeek about same effect, yeah. Reading what I write can be annoying, the anger keeps you warm. :D

I try not to get angry

bad for the ol blood pressure

@JourneymanGeek and for the people around you ;)

@ShadowWizardChasingStars sometimes it has the opposite effect :D

@JourneymanGeek people around you hug you when you're angry?

Now those are brave souls. :D

@ShadowWizardChasingStars sometimes some people need a good bite to the ankles for the good of all those around them

oh lol

@C.Ross are you still active on any SE site or chat?

@ShadowWizardChasingStars No, not in more than a year, but taking the opportunity this morning to poke about, see if I recognize any familiar faces, and share some votes.

@ShadowWizardChasingStars What hat did you pull my name out of anyway?

@C.Ross hehe, fair. Well, you don't know me, but you might remember @rene?

@C.Ross we had discussion about old messages, and you have the honor of posting the first message in this room, so I replied to it. That was fun. :D

Shog also still pop in sometimes here, though not recently.

Naturally since he was kicked out of SE he visits less often.

Even balpha pops by sometimes.

@Mithical once every three months (June, September, December) so we'll see him again in February.

Still better than 11 years like Mr. Ross, or 5 years like Mr. C though. :P

Smoke bomb!

Well all gone, can safely chimnefy them.

Pity, spammer has nice avatar. Such a lost potential. ;)

(usually they're using stock photo as avatar)

...I've used that picrew before

@Mithical you mean that image generator, I guess?

yeah

Yeah looks decent

picrew.me/image_maker/332600

@Mithical umm what is that? I see Chinese characters and picture which isn't you.

Wrong ID?

No. That's the generator; you use it to adjust all the features as you want

I can't use it, I don't know Chinese.

click the "play" button, nothing else needs language

I used it to generate an image for a D&D character of mine: i.stack.imgur.com/sDQDL.png

Is it using AI to generate the images?

no

someone drew all of the components individually

that's how picrew works; someone draws all the components, and then you put them together as you want

heh the link you posted now give semi NSFW result.

Half naked (topless) women and shady links to other sites.

Nice, but I'll bail out.

you need an adblocker :p

rofl

Then I'll miss all the good stuff. :P

VPN to one of our clients is filtering out most ads, but not connected to it now.

"bad keyword" is no doubt the worst reason, making hundreds of false positives every day.

it has a weight of 94, implying it actually has a very high accuracy

70,510 true positives, 4410 false positives

@Mithical well soon enough there will be more fp, that's for sure.

@ShadowWizardChasingStars I agree it takes a while to wade through that wall of text and the linked questions therein ...

@Glorfindel linked question??? lol never noticed, honestly.

Well if someone can throw away all the noise it might be salvaged, but not sure it's possible.

On first and second reads of the first few lines it appeared as, still appears actually, as question only about RoundCube. (?)

Usually site recommendation question starts with "Where to ask", in that one it's well hidden after way too much noise.

...and the title is just annoying.

</rant>

!!/coffee Spe

@ShadowWizardChasingStars brews a cup of cappuccino for @Spe

!!/bonfire @g3r

hmm

!!/bonfire

@Spevacus No such command 'bonfire'.

Yeah I'm not touching that question with a 10 foot pole.

... And I was right not to, someone made a big edit.

Sometimes it ignores a command if it has a ping, but not always. Still have to figure how it works.

@ShadowWizardChasingStars should turn something on fire

Probably some ultra complex regex somewhere.

@Spevacus still a badly asked question, but yeah, title at least not annoying now.

@g3rv4 make sure you do it in the USA, they need any grain of heat one can give.

I wonder if freezing inside cars can be avoided, e.g. using the fuel to actually start a fire to keep warm and melt the snow?

That's just a terrible way to go away, made me sad to read about it.

@ShadowWizardChasingStars yeah, and I have heat to spare

crazy

@g3rv4 hmm, should I ask why and how? ;)

@ShadowWizardChasingStars summertime :)

@g3rv4 ohh, neat

What's up with the Basmala report? Is it an RTL text thing?

@starball the what? Never heard of such thing.

Context?

@ShadowWizardChasingStars was trying to refer to the smokey report (chat message id 9385145, two message above my question message) without replying to smokey because I don't know how that works and don't want to accidentally send some weird signal to smokey

@starball oh lol well let me test

@starball whoops you're right, it logs the message in Meta Smoke site. ;)

@starball not RTL, some fancy unicode that reverse text, I used to mess around with it as well sometimes. ;)

@ShadowWizardChasingStars huh! you mean there was unicode in the post title?

Here it is:

@starball yeah, doubt user display name can contain it, SE have allowlist of character sets.

@ShadowWizardChasingStars I see! thanks

On a completely unrelated note: I'm curious if it's possible to give the Community bot the Announcer badge (25 unique IPs visiting a share link)

Anyone want to help me visit a link? Arbitrarily chosen:

@starball there's a lot of spammers who post in non english languages (korean mostly from what I remember)

so a post that's mostly not in english can use a look at

@JourneymanGeek ah. I was referring to how the report message here in chat is weird: the title isn't where it's supposed to go (after the colon), and is instead at the end of the message
