We can suppress individual categories from appearing in digest emails, so I’m suppressing everything but Politics, Chitchat, A&E and Sports so people don’t end up getting digest emails about the latest About or FrenchBBV blood feuds.
We can set digest frequency to hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or every 6 months. I was thinking weekly because daily seems like way too often, but maybe if someone opts in they want daily digests? I’ll probably go with weekly and include a poll in the instructions thread in case anyone using it prefers a different frequency.
ETA: It’s only sent to people who haven’t visited the forum, so daily seems way too soon, and hourly outright ridiculous.
Strange - the investment thread is getting a large amount of traffic, but CPU usage is only hitting ~30-40%. With such a large thread (9.3k posts) I expected to check and see at least a small spike, but it looks pretty much like a normal day.
Also looking at those graphs, it looks like the site is basically unused around midnight US time. If I do updates in the future I will try to target that time, but no promises.
Censored the word ■■■■ in the forum software, per discussions. Looking into whether we can replace those characters with something less obvious.
There will be a discourse reboot tomorrow morning at approximately 7:30am Pacific Time to apply a new patch. I will post a banner. Expected forum downtime is 5-10 minutes.
The server will be undergoing maintenance at 7:30 AM Pacific Time on 1/30. Expected downtime is 10 minutes to an hour. During this period, the forum may come back up, and go back down intermittently - I appreciate your patience during this time.
The reason it may take longer than a few minutes is because there is some issue with the former admin linux user owning some processes, and troubleshooting may require taking the forum up and back down again.
I think he meant the banner - I still need to create the maintenance page. That’ll probably be a half a day project, but I don’t think I have it in me this weekend.
zikzak was of course correct, just checked meta.discourse.org and it looks like they always run with latest beta:
I will continue updating with latest beta, until they screw something up. Seems like it’s a pretty safe branch. Why don’t they just call it “release” rather than “beta,” beta makes it sound like a version you shouldn’t use in production.
so I was asking about the bill in the other thread and got a statement today from DO, and it is $40 for our droplet and $5 for the storage bucket that has our forum backups.
Submitted photo ID for account verification (lol twitter) to unlock the official unstuck admin twitter developer account. After this is resolved I will change the twitter keys to this account’s keys.
I reset new user notice tl and returning user notice tl to tl2. It had been changed to tl3 at some point. Those are the settings that displays these messages
