@ByteCommander if not, try once more. I added a forward to me so that I can go searching.

kay, requested another one

@quartata i'd have to check, it's possible it's got less CPU cycles available to it, I think Lunar is running my mail gateway on another container on it, but I haven't seen anything major go wrong with it./

@quartata Supernova has absolutely nothing except Smokey on it right now, but it's a lower-spec box than Solar or Lunar. Lunar and Supernova are kind of failover worthy though as 'emergency' backups or such

i take it though Solar Flare is also the fastest compared to the other instances that I don't run, then?

no point in slogging through it now

The real question is, who's Lemon Price?

Thomas Ward

9:10 PM

@Catija I flagged as "unclear what you're asking" :P

so

WELZ

I flagged (before the image removal) as blatantly off topic

though, I'd still like to think that it is.

Catija

Pricing of food items is too localized but they sort of canned that reason.

M.A.R.

Before I was a core user again, the system used 1 or 2 of my flags.

Now that I'm a core user, the system still uses 1 or 2 of my flags.

Great!

WELZ

well, you're also a mar.... that contributes to less autoflagging

i'm confused, what's 'conflicting' there

M.A.R.

@SmokeDetector WTH is that supposed to mean?

@WELZ WTH does that have to do with anything?

WELZ

@ThomasWard for some reason, having it posted as 2 posts.. with only 1 feedbacked does that

@thesecretmaster What’s webpaker doing that causes you trouble again?

sounds like that needs to be fixed :P

WELZ

9:14 PM

@ThomasWard eh, too much work

Thomas Ward

I actually have another security patch to libc on Solar that might result in a quick reboot of it

M.A.R.

@WELZ Thomas could use some work to lose weight

Thomas Ward

which might break Solar Flare briefly :/

(yay for failovers?)

WELZ

🙊

M.A.R.

Unless this type of work makes him gain weight

Thomas Ward

9:15 PM

@WELZ @M.A.R. except such weight is lost when you're clearing out a server room of some large and VERY HEAVY 3U, 4U, and 5U rack mounted servers

I think, though, to be a pro emoji user, you need to repeat the same frigging emoji over and over until it infuriates a chimpanzee let alone an educated man

@SmokeDetector I think he's trying to get the bounty by having a higher-voted answer than the other guy

I protected it and set an auto-revisit for 2 days at which point I'll unprotect it.

How are you doing that?

Have some kind of script? If so, I want it.

no doubt it's a user script

It's almost to the point where Makyen has as many user scripts as Jon Skeet does rep :-P

@Undo Currently unreleased version of the SOCVR Request generator. It, currently, allows you to set a reminder for 2 or 11 days (I'm probably going to add user-specified length). The question is then automatically opened in an additional tab upon your next visit to any SE question after the time expires. A notification is shown in the tab which you are viewing, and a sticky notice in the newly opened tab. You can leave yourself a custom message along with the revisit.
