snap :)

we have a policy that people don't get to talk to a manager when they first ask

well, it's not a policy, but we do it

so if someone asks for a manager, the instructor they're asking sends them to me

Thomas Ward

it probably is because i'm a linux guy and i'm like THE linux guy at the one client

so :p

ArtOfCode

then if they ask me for my manager I send 'em to the real manager

Thomas Ward

and lol, @ArtOfCode

@ThomasWard No. You don't need to. Smokey can be blocked in just one room

Thomas Ward

since when? o.O

shrugs new things i don't read up on.

Andy

a year or two ago?

Thomas Ward

remind me how we silence it in a specific room again?

other than, you know, kicking it. :P

@SmokeDetector I'm not sure if this is really spam. It's copied from here but I doubt the author of the SE post has bad intentions. Also, it's on-topic.

And either the spam flags have been cleared or compensated by upvotes.

@SmokeDetector ??

I assume room 89 is some site's mod room

since I don't have access

That doesn't block them here does it

It's just in that room

oh wait

I'm real smart

This is Tavern

4 hours ago, by Thomas Ward

hate trying to use chat on my phone. accidentally sniped @bwDraco. Sorry about that, I've fixed that issue.

bwDraco

Ah. It didn't show up on my phone.

quartata

Doubt it was that since draco said "That's okay" after that message

bwDraco

It was visible in a different room.

quartata

oh huh

NobodyNada

19:48

@quartata Draco and/or Thomas will have to provide a definitive answer, but I had no idea what "sniped" meant in Thomas's message

so it's possible draco didn't know exactly what happened

bwDraco

19:58

Shog9 confirmed a mod flagged one of my messages. I was a bit confused because I was on my phone when it happened and my laptop says I've been suspended.

@ThomasWard, just so you know, I was on my phone at the time and did not realize that I was erroneously suspended until I got back to my laptop a few hours later. This left me a bit confused, but I'm not upset. Don't worry about it.

@SmokeDetector Doesn’t look particularly swastika-like to me:

ArtOfCode

23:36

So here's a dashboard. What do people think?

quartata

good but should have its own tab

a little house icon would be fine

ArtOfCode

it's just "home"

click metasmoke, that takes you home

quartata

why is the reasons tab highlighted then

ArtOfCode

discount the reasons tab being highlighted, that's a legacy thing that I have yet to disable

it's not actually related to reasons or even under the reasons controller

SmokeDetector

quartata

oh all right then

SmokeDetector

[ metasmoke ] ci/circleci success on e60869e: Your tests passed on CircleCI!

bwDraco

That would make a better home page.

quartata

wouldn't hurt to highlight the metasmoke icon instead just to make it more obvious that that's the home tab

ArtOfCode

@quartata I'm... not sure we can, actually

quartata

Why not? It's just CSS right

ArtOfCode

23:40

not without custom CSS for it, anyway, which is excessive

highlighting the links is just add the .active class

John Dvorak

Why would it be excessive?

SmokeDetector

[ metasmoke ] ci/circleci success on 1c39a1e: Your tests passed on CircleCI!

ArtOfCode

Doesn't seem like it's worth rolling our own CSS to match a look elsewhere, given that we'll then have to maintain it to be consistent with changes to Bootstrap. It's the first page you hit on metasmoke, I'm not sure it needs a lot more indication

NobodyNada

@ArtOfCode nice!

bwDraco

So what does it take to run a SmokeDetector instance?

SmokeDetector

tp- by DraconicPenguin

ArtOfCode

@NobodyNada Aye, that was my only hesitation about it too. What would you suggest?

NobodyNada

Putting tp, fp, and NAA each on their own line might help

ArtOfCode

@bwDraco having a server, occasional time to maintain it, and the willingness to do it

It mostly runs itself once you've set it up first time, but if you're the active instance it does go wrong now and then

bwDraco

23:47

I have the technical ability to operate a SmokeDetector instance on one of my servers (which has next to no load) but I'm not 100% sure if I can commit to it.

NobodyNada

Maybe something like:

57154 (80.31%) true positives
11155 (15.68%) false positives
3291 (4.62%) NAA

bwDraco

(Linode $5/month 1GB plan - affiliate link available upon request)

would be a bit easier to read

Maybe even put them in a table-like thing?

@bwDraco Your call. We do have plenty of hosts, so if you're not sure there's definitely no pressure for you to do it; on the other hand, if you do want to then you're welcome to, even if it's not for 100% uptime.
