[01:24:58] <Bytram> 1 in 100, right?
[01:25:14] <Runaway1956> Yeah, that was dumb - .01 is 1%
[01:25:45] <Runaway1956> So 1% of world population has been infected
[01:26:01] <Runaway1956> That's getting up there near to scary number territory
[01:26:09] <Bytram> so far
[01:26:27] <Bytram> count is still climbing :(
[01:27:17] <Runaway1956> if 1% continues to be infected, and 1% of those die, the population crisis could be brought to an end?

[05:03:30] <c0lo> rrrright. Oatmeal on freezing days, slow cooked lamb shanks in wine on 32C+.
[05:08:17] <AzumaHazuki> when am i ever going to have the money for that?

[05:34:23] <AzumaHazuki> Ahhhh. If it weren't for the recent political shenanigans and the unsustainability i'd be considering living there
[05:35:15] <c0lo> W/o political shenanigans life would be boring.
[05:35:53] <AzumaHazuki> boring is fine with me. i've had enough "interesting" for a dozen lifetimes
[05:36:01] <AzumaHazuki> give me the kind of boring the Nordic nations have
[05:36:12] <c0lo> As for unsustainability... why, we'll just use the wine. As beer, 'cause the Chinese refused our barley too.
[05:37:07] <AzumaHazuki> i mean the spreading desert and the upcoming water problems
[05:37:12] <c0lo> Anyway, we'll get around somehow, I'm not that worried.

[05:38:31] <AzumaHazuki> oh, right, that too...every-bloody-thing is poisonous and it's not final fantasy so there's no cheap universal antidote

[12:28:39] <Bytram> relatedly, perhaps and hopefully, does anyone see the Most Recent Journal Entries section on the main page?
[12:49:11] <Bytram> back
[12:51:59] <Bytram> I have a MySQL question
[12:52:21] <Bytram> looking to delete something from journals
[12:52:41] <Bytram> would like to be able to restore, afterwards, just in case
[12:53:41] <Bytram> how can I export a row from journals and from journals_text in a way so that I can restore it later, if need be?
[12:55:05] <FatPhil> I'd avoid doing that, if possible.
[12:55:47] <Bytram> do you see "Most recent journal entries" section on the main page
[12:55:49] <FatPhil> the most minimal change would be to replace the single field you want removed with a placeholder, and just keep a copy of its original content
[12:56:05] <FatPhil> Nope, only my friends' journals
[12:57:00] <Bytram> that's what I am trying to do...
[12:57:17] <Bytram> I can replace what is there easily enough, but
[12:57:29] <Bytram> want to make it as easy as possible to restore
[12:58:09] <Bytram> all kinds of double and single quotes and HTML in their entry
[12:59:56] <FatPhil> if the probability of you needing to restore it is 1%, then every second wasted thinking about it is more pointless than needing to spend 100 seconds getting the restore right,
[13:00:32] <Bytram> the restore, on a LIVE DB, is not something I want to take a chance with
[13:00:41] * Bytram looks at: https://stackoverflow.com
[13:01:43] <FatPhil> as long as the text is somewhere, you can create a query to reinsert it with a bit of editing, which can almost certainly be done with a one-line sed

[17:36:00] <Runaway1956> but of course, I have no idea at all if it has anything to do with missing slashboxes . . .
[17:36:22] <Bytram> same URL, same error except I now get: XID: 2028426601

[17:41:59] <Bytram> Strange that systemd can successfully get the story title on that same link.
[17:43:13] <Runaway1956> OK, we just blame it all on 'Zumi for putting that link up there?
[17:43:19] <Runaway1956> No, won't work . . .

[17:52:33] <Bytram> requerdanos: thanks for that! Looks familiar, somehow. ;^) Yes, those were the steps that TMB and I tool this morning.
[18:05:20] <Bytram> We're still getting SQL timeout errors every 2-5 seconds -- seems whenever something tries to access the journals table
[18:05:57] <requerdanos> eu não o falo o portugues
[18:06:28] <Bytram> saw TMB's UID appear in some of the queries; maybe he is looking at it?
[18:06:59] * Bytram sent txt msg to TMB telling him of ongoing timeouts
[18:09:35] <Bytram> Tried accessing my user page: https://soylentnews.org Got Error 503; XID: 2028429378

[18:12:47] * Bytram got a reply TXT from TMB: "No need for updates, I'll know it's fixed before you will. Gonna be a bit."
[18:15:29] <requerdanos> that's a good sign (fix in progress) packaged with a not-so-great one (not a quick fix)

[20:28:08] <Bytram> acid_andy: it's been around, you just didn't see it. TMB has been busy with home remodeling, so it's been a pending item for a while. *Hopefully* we can get back to updates within a month or two!

[20:32:08] <Bytram> BSOD
[20:32:17] <acid_andy> ugh
[20:32:33] <Runaway1956> need to port it all to BSOD?
[20:35:03] <Bytram> couldn't easily/immediately get past it. Used it as an excuse to *finally* move over to Unix like I'd been wanting to for years. I've got well in excess of 1,000 batch scripts (based, fortunately, on ports of gawk, sed, ls, tr, etc.) So, could be worse, but I am finding it hard to get motivated to do that with everything else with the site.
[20:35:54] <Bytram> am so thankful for requerdanos agreeing to come on board as an editor -- has made a big difference already.
