FWIW, I now have a family event happening on August 27, so that weekend is no good for me.

Dreamhost's mail servers are operational again, so I've disabled Mailgun for now. Let me know via Slack or Discord if you notice any additional problems with email notifications.

I've been playing with OpenAI, and I think someone could do something good with these lyrics for "Cast A Shadow" It's so cold in the shade I can see my breath I'm trying not to shiver I'm trying not to shake The sun is setting fast And the darkness is creeping in I can feel it on my skin I can feel ...

Okay, I've set up songfight.net to use my mailgun account for now, and it's tested as working. Soon I'll find out just how many notification emails we send in a month! Dreamhost still says that the fix is "being verified" but the outgoing mail queue is still growing faster than mails are going out, ...

More info, it looks like the issue is Dreamhost-wide and they're working on fixing it and they claim to have implemented a solution, but no ETA given for the actual resolution. https://www.dreamhoststatus.com/pages/incident/575f0f606826303142000510/62a2d188d2217b12f7728d2b I'm looking into setting u...

Lately some of you may have noticed that the forum notification emails are being delayed. This seems to be an issue with Dreamhost’s outgoing mail queue; unfortunately we don’t get much visibility into that, and we have basically no control over it either. I’m looking into options for hosting outgoi...

Flufkenglenn should be an instaband of happy birthdays

Someday we'll have a reunion of the EIEBC.

happy birthday to my fellow EIEBC members Glenn and Ken

We all know about freesound and [url=https://ccmixter.org/]ccMixter, right? Here's a bunch more stuff. Feel free to share more stuff you know about too.

It’s unclear as to whether the “Pixel exclusive” is maintained at the Play Store level or if there’s a check within the APK itself. Either way it’s only a matter of time before it’s usable on non-Pixel phones. Also I bet there’ll be a billion mediocre clones of it soon too. [EDIT] Oh and Koala Sampl...

Technically it should work on any recent Android device, but apparently Google has locked it down as a marketing/branding thing. Hopefully a hacked APK makes its way onto the Internet at some point because it's a really cool bit of software.

Yeah I don't know much about hosting this sort of thing, I guess I could get some kind of server set up. Or heck, post the songs on github or something. You can host files on this here forum thing, using the "attachments" functionality. It's a little janky though. But also songfight.net has basical...

but does it smell and taste like cola?

also yikes feel better soon jb

Easy way would be to case-fold into a sorting field, which would also be a good opportunity to remove "the" from the beginning to get proper title sorting.

Works for me on Firefox on macOS. Yay!

I mean it’s out of range to drive there from Seattle in my 2018 Leaf, which has around 100 miles of range and the slower charge port standard that’s hard to find now.

My piddly electric car definitely can't go that far but if anyone else wants to road trip from Seattle and is fine with me tagging along/paying for gas, I'd totally be into it. Or maybe there's a bus or train that works.

Glad to help!

And now we also know the magic incantation to bother them with if it starts happening again due to a new security rule in the future.

And ironically now I can't edit that message because I seem to have exceeded some sort of "anomaly score"

This is getting ridiculous and this is yet another reason why I don't take Dreamhost particularly seriously anymore.

fluffy I think the error message in the logs has the regex that's being used? Or at least, it prints out some super long regex. Ah, so it does. So here's one such log entry: [Tue Apr 26 13:07:04.431164 2022] [:error] [pid 230823:tid 3690573842176] [client 96.92.148.2:54914] [client 96.92.148.2] Mod...
