Wait you're saying you've got more hits this week than almost the previous year?

This is a bit of a two-fer question -- one we just passed December, the worst month for hiring in IT sectors it seems, and of course the general hiring slowdown/hemorrhaging of employees of some places. Does hiring pick up again in January? I haven't kept my finger on the pulse quite close...

An update to the EV Road Trips suck -- TLDR: it's a lot better when you don;t have to rely on the app lol (and there's enough chargers)

First and foremost, game spoilers must be spoilered! So this is your thread to post games that have a strong narrative impact on you, consider this a thread where we continue to scream this basically non-stop: These games are probably going to require a deep level of immersion to really get...

I've upped some anti-spam stuff and deleted all the spam accounts that were banned here, this generally shouldn't matter other than admins aren't going to have a constant spam queue every day to kick -- but I think we had one user that needed manual approval so it may be a problem for someone at...

Also, sadly, I cannot use these for the "like" replies, due to how the UI works, I wonder if there's a mod to do that... or an option.

Oh man I mean, RabbitMQ is pretty powerful, it gives you a lot more options vs. the more high-throughput "pipe A to B as fast as humanly possible" platforms like Kafka are (which I hate to even mention Kafka these days because I got people that keep coming back to Kafka for message queuing which...

*squints* Slack may use 24x24 or 16x16? Sigh, I can technically resize these on the fly again so no big deal, thoughts?

:hmmm:Hmm.... Guess I finally got around to getting those Devanooga smilies into here. Because the forums have been basically impossible to use without them. :teehee: Process was kind of ridiculous: Export all of the emoji from Slack Have to do it in a real bullshit way because it takes too...

Yeah, but it's mostly tiny tweaks, fiddle a line or two, push, watch. Not really, part of it is just a "we're taking in more volume than the current DB design can handle" and the queue just backing up, which is fine, it's designed to be a "buffer", the changes I made made it process about 3-4x...

So a thread to tell your woes of BFCM -- the day all of our e-commerce sites (and related services) get kicked in the teeth day after day. So mine started actually on the 27th, we get a massive traffic spike after noon system is holding fine, some events are backing up in RabbitMQ, but that's...

So I figured I'd drag some of the discussion I was having over in a Discord channel of local Hams (and my opinion), little bit of primer here: https://talkpodonline.com/blogs/blog/understanding-the-controversy-surrounding-gmrs-repeater-linking The FCC updated their website to make this...

I may get cleared at the end of January, so we'll see -- indoor cycling for now (hopefully to start this weekend)

If I get my way, the AREDN project I'll be running on the antenna mast will have a Proxmox node on it -- the idea is to install a software AREDN node on it and allow it to manage the AREDN network (along with unifi gear). We'll see if I get the time/money to do that though.

I'm already enjoying some of the build tool chain changes, just better UX in general for CLI stuff. I kind of stumbled into using .NET 9 early on a few projects. I'm super excited for the apparent performance improvements, this is going to be a huge deal for the stuff I got running on the Pi...

@laura curious -- did you end up picking one? How did it go?

That's a super solid point -- the retention policy is to prevent people from digging shit up and being shitheels about it. It's a double-edged sword, I do agree with @brb3 that like "well it means you won't post things that are outright terrible" but at the same time, it also gives ammo to be...

If this is wanted except this kills the idea -- we could have the bot purge threads after a retention period. It does mean threads will generally stay alive until they hit retention period, then the entire discussion evaporates though.

So a pretty simple thing that has been discussed off and on, do we move politics to the forums? I'd lock it down to member-only, a few thoughts: Pros: Threaded (yay) Moderation tools (very yay for mods) We can ban you from it (I swear no channel moderation in Slack sucks) No more 3 day...

Just minor updates for the forums -- we're off of release candidate so... well we were on RC 5 so it was already pretty stable, but should be even more stablier Also took advantage of upgrading to PHP 8.3 since that's recommended for XenForo v2.3.
