  Oh I haven't seen this thread.

  In reference to: https://mangolassi.it/topic/13346/mangolassi-website-semi-frequent-internal-error

  I think I've figured out the main issue...
  When clicking on a notification, the notification links to, for example: https://mangolassi.it/post/296273
  After that, the browser is supposed to automatically redirect to: https://mangolassi.it/topic/13654/for-the-love-of-ipod/11, which it does in all other browsers and Edge pre-1703 update.
  In MS Edge now (post 1703), after you left click a notification, it takes you to the first link, and gives you my original error. When I middle click to open it in a new tab, it works as normal, and redirects to the second link.

  It gives that error on all Windows 10 1703 devices, on the Edge browser. Pre 1703, the issue does not occur in Edge.

  Can you replicate the behavior on another site such as community.nodebb.com?
  To make sure it is not an issue with how ML is configured.

  Waiting on a reply to test it out: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/10690/notifications-test-please-reply/1

  replied for you.

  Yes, same thing. Left clicking on the notification results in the error message. Middle-clicking (to open it in a new tab) works fine.

  Looks like it's a NodeBB programming issue:

  Same thing... it doesn't redirect to the correct URL after left clicking the notification.

  Not that I don't think ML needs a market place, I don't think it fits with the focus of the community.

  Posting you have things to sell here is perfectly fine, but adding a market place would be odd. It's super simple to tell who the real people are on ML. They may be in the market looking for something, or they may know some one who is looking and can recommend them to come buy from you.

  It could also be me as I have been trying to clean out my garage for months, and yet I hate to take things like that to goodwill. I got a little bit of my own office space for my new little startup, but there the stuff in my garage would fill up a whole 1 (of 3) offices.

  @minion-queen something you will need to consider soon perhaps. gdpr right to erasure

  I thought that law was only for the UK. Not sure why a US based forum would need to consider that.

  Any company which has customer data from the EU should abide by it. I believe it isn't enforceable until 2018 for EU companies and 2019 for Non-EU based companies

  Not enforceable ever for non-EU companies. That breaks international laws right there.

  The only reason it applies to companies like Google for example... is because they are actually an established company in the EU (and most other countries).

  Mangolassi, for example, would be a US only based company. So it wouldn't apply.

  But imho, just because you don't have to, doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice to offer the courtesy.

  Sure, and people have that, they can just rename their accounts and poof it's taken care of.

  Didn't know you could do that.

  The account name is the only possible piece of exposure. If you don't use your real name there, then nothing exists.

  Create the lvm (this is where you can do things like setting up ssd cache as well if you want)

  Wouldn't he want a raid 1 for the SSD Cache too though? Just in case a drive fails

  If the data has any value, you don't do RAID 0 anyway. If speed is important, then adding fast cache drives makes a lot of sense, and is one reason to use RAID 0 (speed of access to ephemeral data). If the single cache drive fails, it just falls back to functioning without a cache.

  I read that if there is data loaded in the failed drives (ala memory) that data is lost. Is that not the case?

  Yes. This is why you don't load valuable data on a RAID0, ever.

  Well yeah for sure, but I mean specifically the cache

  MOst systems require RAID 1 for cache.

  Apparently I'll need to take a look at the caching options for LVM again, didn't think it mattered.

  Thanks all. This one needs to go back to where it belongs. Report it to HR and their manager and let them decide what to do. I do my parenting at home, not at work.

  I agree. IT should never control that stuff. IT should just report it. "Look, bandwidth is tight, mostly because of these non-business services." And let HR do what they want with that.

  When I look at the more info media list, the only thing not specifically https is the first item.

  This is happening because from where the image comes from is not secured with https and running on http. That's why it is giving mixed content warning error.

  Yes, we know what the error means. The issue is tracking it down in the system.

  @Dashrender Actually, the problem was found earlier than that. This blog post is from last Thursday.

  OK looks like the actual incident took place on Feb 17, definitely not the understanding I got from listening to Security Now. They keep saying "Last Friday" as in Feb 24.

  Thanks for the correction Dan.

  So it looks like it was fixed for a short while after the incident.

  Fixed it. You had used the tags incorrectly. You can only use that on unbroken paragraphs. You had it on a big block of text that had paragraph breaks in the middle, so there was no open/close tag pairs.

  Ah, well, good thing that wasn't a rattlesnake, I'd be dead.

  @scottalanmiller is it possible to automatically add a tag to specific categories?

  No need, since it is already in the category. Why tag a review when it is hard locked to being a review?

  I don't have an exact answer to that other than to search "review of _____" of course if you were already in the review categories.....

  Right, you'd only want responses from that category.

  Account was suspended (aka locked). Since it happened at 2AM, impact was minimal.

  Wow, there should be some kind of fraud check that should kick in before an account gets auto suspended for somehow getting $16 in charges in less than 24 hours.

  Major failure.

  That's what I would think. Like a human looking at it, at least.

  Does it block it in the thread, too?

  That's weird, though. They just blanket block images with the size in the description? That will randomly break who knows what.

  And those who are blocking ads just by size generally know that as well and will unblock things as needed.

  How do they know when something is needed?

  I block all that stuff by default with ublock - if a site shows up funny or seems like i'm missing a key part of it - i unblock stuff on ublock. Would I install ublock for our average end user - no - they don't seem to understand it. Ad block plus seems to be a bit friendlier to the average user.

  Noticed that too. Probably a "fast forward" function? Seems to happen mostly when you scroll fast.

  I'm usually on fast lines (4G/LTE, 100 MBit, 1GbE, 10GbE), so I can't say much about the behavior on slow lines.

  Yeah, got a couple dozen mails yesterday too. Glad you managed to get that working.

  I know one thing that picked up...

  The speed at which my inbox is filling. Holy Crap Batman!

  I hate email notifications. so i have that all turned off.

  I do too, but Jared and I both keep the site open and keep watching it all the time, so getting emails is unnecessary for us as we know that there is something happening on the site faster than email would tell us anyway.

  @scottalanmiller said in Muting or ignoring threads:

  @thwr said in Muting or ignoring threads:

  That's a very important feature in case ML is getting bigger. It should default to no alerting at all but let you subscribe to some threads. Exactly like SW. Everything else is a notification overkill.

  I think that it does that. Both let you turn on subscribe by default or subscribe manually only.

  Did you change the new user default notification to be off? At one point the default for new users was on.

  Default is currently email responses to subscribed threads, same as Spiceworks. Uses can manually change it to whatever they want. And they can change how subscribes work. Right now, if you respond to a thread, you get subscribed.

  My feeling on that is that it is important for casual or new users to have it like that or they post and forget and they don't realize that we have responded or can't find their thread again. Those that are around a lot can easily make the change and customize.

  I'm certainly open to other ideas, but I've thought about this around expectation and practicality and it seems like getting responses by default for new users is important.

  Thoughts?

  That is odd. My guess would be that if you have it open and had the ability to screen shot it or copy it or whatever, you have the "right" to keep reading it. You would be less happy if you were in the middle of reading something and it vanished out from under you. But you need a note saying that it was deleted and won't be there when you return.

  That is my assumption. It's very rare, in my experience, and I know that @Minion-Queen saw it the other day but it cleared up before we could check it. It's definitely clearly up without a change on the ML side or with the plugin. And, from what I can tell, it only lasts maybe thirty seconds or so, short enough that it is very hard to observe intentionally.
