OK, I think the case sensitive sorting thing you mentioned in the other thread should be fixed now, for sorting fights by cover artist name and artist name, and for sorting songs by artist name.

The Produce Aisle feat. Christian Emond win!

Yep, I have that already for sorting artists by name. I never bothered to add it for sorting fights by cover artist names for some reason. I was just doing a "to lower" in the "order by" clause of the SQL. (And same for sorting fights by title.) It looks like in all the changes I made to update to t...

Ah, good find. I will see what I can do about that.

Also thanks to fluffy for some of the technical suggestions. I did wind up getting it working using an embedded database, which simplifies the hosting setup. And it's running on a Linode virtual server.

I'm working on getting the Jukebox working again, hopefully I'm done and it's good to go but your mileage may vary.

I think I've maybe gotten the Jukebox working again. It's working for me but I haven't done extensive testing from different devices/browsers/networks/etc. Please try it and let me know if it's working for you.

Welcome back! I thought I sent a response. I'll try again. If you don't see one soon check your spam folder maybe?

Gil Sans and Possum Sauce tie!

Oops, well, maybe tomorrow night? Please consider this extra downtime between fights as your opportunity to catch up on writing reviews, there are fun songs up right now you could check out.

Awesome, it sounds like there is probably enough general interest to make it worth trying to figure out how/where to host at least one IRL live night. As far as travel destinations, what do folks think of Bend, OR and Denver, CO? Our closest airport in Bend is the Redmond OR airport. It's pretty eas...

Folks, I'm traveling tomorrow and busy the next day. Best prospect for getting things updated is Sunday morning. Just thought I'd let you know.

Hey folks, fluffy put in some seriously heroic work engaging with our host service's support and I think thanks to that they have disabled the specific security rules that were causing this issue. I can now put this in my post without trickery and without errors: ; more or less ; shutdown ; sleep ; ...

"shutdown" and "sleep" are both common commands that would be bad to allow a hacker to remotely execute by way of an Apache instance running on a server. What's the link to your liner notes post?

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.

"Yes, that's it; mo[b][/b]re or less."

I was wondering how you got away with that part, but when I quoted it I saw what you did. That's a good hack. Sober, you can also work around by putting an empty tag (e.g. [b][/b]) inside the word after the semicolon.

fluffy identified this issue already. There is some security software installed (the "ModSecurity" module for the Apache http server) which is matching posts against patterns and incorrectly flagging harmless snippets like that as security risks, then throwing the generic 500 internal server error. ...
