Has anyone ever just, completely unintentionally irreparably hosed a server that multiple people were part of, multiple times? Just me? Because I feel fucking absolutely beyond terrible right now.

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Wait okay so what did you do? Unless you deleted the database files it's probably recoverable.

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence What Mastodon are you running? Glitch, standard, hometown, etc? Also, does it give you an error at all?

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Um oh no, why is it 502ing of all things? Can confirm that those are the results on my end. HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway
Server: nginx/1.18.0

If you want you can toss the logs over my way, I'm not gonna be sleeping for a few hours so can scan through them. Also, thank you for using Ubuntu. Enjoy ads in your apt output :D

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence journalctl? Maybe /var/log/journalctl or something? I haven't looked at that structure much.

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Um. Um um um um. Dude. Bro. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Kill that process, like last year. Alsy hea, it's /var/log/journal

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Jeeeeesus!

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Oh yup that would do it. Didn't know about --no-tail but redirecting stdout to a file should be enough yeah.

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Now you run du -h file.txt and have a heart attack

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Sweet Jesus Christ on a bloody cracker. That's like, a 10th the size of Windows these days. In plaintext. I very much do not need all of that lmao

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Dropbox. Mason added a very beeg file to your dropbox

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence I will, my notepad 2 will not. That's okay though, just tail -n 1000 file.txt > file2.txt

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Ehh, on my server... 377M journal.txt

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence You're running a mastodon server, I'm running nginx and teamtalk.

just thought of a new challenge. @app @TheQuinbox @FluidEscence
replace default windows shell with cake
have a desktop folder buffer always open
use key-op to augment your keyboard friendly experience
use bnt instead of windows task manager
lxde for windows is born

TheQuinbox,

@sparksexist @app @FluidEscence More insane things have been done by yours truly as well as Mason, I'd try it. Honestly the biggest adjustment for me would be using TC, I haven't touched it in like 2 years.

Today I learned, |& pipes both stdout and stderr of a process in Linux. I always would go 2>&1|, which works, but this is so much nicer!

State of iOS Braille support in May, 2024. Still shit. Nothing has been fixed. Nothing has changed. Cool.

TheQuinbox,

@fireborn And yet, somehow, people still stay on iOS for Braille. Maybe with Android 15 that'll change, though.

TheQuinbox,

@menelion @fireborn What's not working about the current magic tap implementation? Works here.

TheQuinbox,

@pixelate @fireborn Try playing dice world on Android period.

TheQuinbox,

@pixelate @menelion @fireborn I can confirm that at the very least it's not just that, it can end phone calls

No, dropbox, you are not going to upload 400 gigs of files in 15 seconds... Cmon now. Be at least a little bit realistic. Or, I forgot, you stopped trying that long ago.

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Not yet, at least.

Hyperfocusing is all fun and games until you end up hyperfocusing on stuff for like 3 hours and your plan to get food at like 9:00 or 10:00 AM turns into a get food at 1:00 PM plan and then you get nauseous when you try to eat. No, this definitely didn't just happen to me, why do you ask?

@jcsteh I've made a bit of headway on some of the random crashes and freezes I've been talking about with NVDA. Most recently my alt tab was bugging out majorly, so I alt tabbed and closed my WSL window. Once I did that, I started getting absolutely bombarded with NVDA error noises, and it completely froze up and was hardly reading anything, exactly like I had seen before. However, it was playing error sounds this time (because I turned them on), and this was in the log. The only way to get out of it was to restart NVDA with the desktop icon. Exception in IUIAutomationEventHandler.HandleAutomationEvent implementation:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "comtypes_comobject.pyc", line 154, in call_without_this
File "UIAHandler_init_.pyc", line 569, in IUIAutomationEventHandler_HandleAutomationEvent
File "comtypes_init_.pyc", line 278, in getattr
File "monkeyPatches\comtypesMonkeyPatches.pyc", line 32, in call
_ctypes.COMError: (-2147220991, 'An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers', (None, None, None, 0, None))
Not sure if there's any other useful debug info I can give here but I'm saving this log.

TheQuinbox,

@jcsteh Yes, yes it absolutely does. Or if it has done so recently/a little while ago.

TheQuinbox,

@jcsteh "Because of course it's UIA" was my first thought when reading this log.

Just switched back from Enafore to Semaphore. I love that Enafore has additional features like post editing, etc. Unfortunately, it also breaks a bunch of a11y focus stuff - dialog focus, re-focusing posts when returning to timelines, etc. - and I don't have time to chase it down at the moment.

TheQuinbox,

@jcsteh I'm quite close to doing the same, unfortunately.
