Hey! If you're new and reading this, remember that you don't need to bring your old behaviors from birdsite and fb to here.
We enjoy genuine conversation, because we can fit in all the words, finish our train of thoughts.
Get to know your community, and how they behave. See if you find something new and novel.
@enkiv2 This has existed in various forms for birdsite for years. Not really a bad idea per se.
Bad idea of the day: 'mastogone' -- a script that identifies people you're following who haven't posted in more than a year
Turns out it was not an ISP issue but several other (fixable) issues that happened to hit at once.
@browneyedgirl How much stuff broke during the upgrade?
Better late than never, though...
Just updated a wordpress install from 3.3.1 to 4.9.4
Not really recommended o.O
Am now fending off a mansplaining user who is trying to tell me how https works

Why, oh why, did I get a BLU Grand Energy (8GB) to replace the Studio G (4GB)? 8GB is still nowhere near enough... Everything else about the Grand Energy is decent, given it's an Android device, though it's annoying that given the limited internal memory you can't use the second SIM slot *and* SD card at the same time.
@noelle Is it just the top row of items or is there something in the row(s) of candy/snacks below that I am missing as well?
(Doesn't work in this case usually means the connection times out. In some cases I can verify that absolutely no packets come back related to that connection.)
So here's a list of Weird Stuff(tm) I'm now noticing regarding network connectivity:
1. ssh and NNCP (port 5400) to a friend's box, also on Comcast, don't work.
2. traceroute to friend's box works but doesn't recognize end of route. I get additional hops of "* * *" beyond where the traceroute should end.
3. ping doesn't work to friend's box. (big surprise)
4. ssh to either my box or the same friend's box from T-Mobile's network (using JuiceSSH from my phone) doesn't work.
Who else here is on Comcast in the US? Within the last week or so I have noticed I can no longer connect to my own or a friend's computer via ssh (among other methods).
@chosafine@instance.business those are really annoying when all I'm doing is blocking known tracking sites with Privacy Badger. I mean, I really can't help it that the ad sites are the worst when it comes to tracking users without consent.

Hi! We notice you're driving past our bookstore!
That's great, but you have your car windows closed. Would you mind opening your windows? We'd like to fill your car with wasps and locusts.
Now just one minute. Filling strangers' cars with wasps and locusts is how we pay our bills. Do you want us to starve?
We understand you may have had some bad experience with other wasp-and-locust providers. Some low-quality locusts got in the mix. But that's all been sorted out now!
Window. Open it.
