Summary

Selecting the ”Refresh the app now” link from update notification doesn’t make the notification go away.

Steps to reproduce

Have MM server updated to latest release. Open an existing session of the web app in Firefox. See the refresh prompt, select ”Refresh the app now”.

Expected behavior

Web page is refreshed, the notification goes away.

Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)

Web page is refreshed, but the update notification is still there, still prompting to refresh.

Verbose version

With some of the most recent updates (perhaps 5.16 and newer), the ”Refresh the app now” link in the update notification (”A new version of Mattermost is available”) on the web app did not make that notification go away for myself and another user. The link did cause a refresh of the page content, but the notification persisted. Meanwhile the version being reported by ”About Mattermost” was the correct (5.16.2).

Ctrl+shift+r or other hard refresh attempts did not have an effect, but logging out and then back in to the site finally did make the notification go away.

We’re both Firefox users, and due to the nature of the issue it was difficult to tell if this was browser-specific, but a fresh login using Chrome (while the previous session in Firefox still showed the notification) did not bring up the notification in the new session.

The issue, though irritatingly persistent while it lasted, was still relatively ephemeral, and now that it’s gone, I wouldn’t know how to reproduce it before the next server update. That said, I’ll happily provide more details if I can.

The git-annex page has a removal warning at the top (introduced here). It currently says ”Warning: GitLab has completely removed in GitLab 9.0 (2017/03/22).”

My guess is it’s actually supposed to say ”Git annex support has been completely removed in GitLab 9.0 (2017/03/22).”

I just found out that password handling on the Transifex website is broken. After failing to log in with my old password, I requested a password reset, but even after resetting the password back to the old password I still could not log in with it. I then reset it again, and this time used a simplistic password (just fulfilling the silly requirements set by the reset form). This then allowed me to log in.

I then went to my account settings and again set my password back to the old one. I then tried logging in again, and again it failed.

So the password handling is triply broken: it fails to warn me about the requirements for a truly working password, it fails to store a truly strong password, and it fails to prevent the non-working password from being saved, causing a non-working login.

Hi! I’ve been a happy Freecell player for years now, thanks for the nice app.

I recently got a new Samsung S5e tablet, which supports Android’s new split-screen mode, which is obviously very handy for multitasking. But unfortunately Freecell seems to be one of the few applications that do not support this mode: trying to do so just brings up Freecell (alone) with a ”Can’t use this app in Multi window view” message. (I’m attaching a screenshot.)

So I thought I’d send in this wishlist ticket for getting multi-window support in Freecell. I’d particularly like to be able to play videos on the one side while playing Freecell on the other.

Olin unohtanut tämän järkäleen, kiitos muistutuksesta! Vain tuo sinipunavalkoisia nappeja napsivan supersotilaan hahmo oli syöpynyt jonnekin mielen perukoille, mutten ollut enää osannut yhdistää sitä mihinkään tarinaan.

Oletko nähnyt Netflixin Daredevilin? Katselin sen ykköskauden aikoinaan tuoreeltaan, ja vaikka ihan näin syvissä syövereissä ei sentään liikuta, siinä oli kuitenkin minusta aika hyvin tavoitettu se tuskanhikinen selviytymiskamppailu, joka DD-tarinoille on ominaista.

Toppilan voimalaitos täällä Oulussa pitää aina käynnistyksen ja alasajon aikana varsin kovaa ääntä. Oulun Energia pahoittelee sitä meluhaittana, mutta minusta se on aika hieno esitys (ainakin harvoin kuultuna).

Toppilan voimalaitos on poistumassa käytöstä kesäkuussa 2020, ja Laanilaan rakenteilla oleva uusi biovoimalaitos tuskin tuottaa ainakaan täysin samanlaista ääntä, joten ajattelin pyytää tämän toivelomakkeen kautta, että tuo vanhan voimalan ääni tallennettaisiin, jollei sitä jo Yleisradion arkistoista löydy.

Voin sitten 2030-luvulla lähettää siitä Äänien iltaan kuuntelutoiveen!

Speaking of geeky, I really dig the ’90s demoscene vibe of your intro.

God, what an unintuitive trick they’ve come up with for that locking mechanism. Thanks for taking one for the team!

I’m using yle-dl 20190614 with GNU Wget 1.19.4 in Ubuntu 18.04.

When trying to download this (and so far this is the only example I’ve come across): https://areena.yle.fi/1-50192791

Wget fails like this:

Resolving ylekaod-a.akamaihd.net (ylekaod-a.akamaihd.net)... 62.183.170.32, 62.183.170.35
Connecting to ylekaod-a.akamaihd.net (ylekaod-a.akamaihd.net)|62.183.170.32|:443... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... No data received.
Retrying.

It tries a few more times, then gives up. I’m attaching a --verbose log (with LC_ALL=C).

Workaround

I took the wget command from –verbose output and added UA spoofing with -U 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.27 Safari/537.17', and with the resulting command I was able to download the file.

Olen varmaan aiemminkin mainostanut Bear Brookia, mutta ajattelin suositella sitä taas, sillä siinä käsiteltävän jutun tutkinta on edennyt podcastin aikana, ja vaikkei nyt ihan yhtä hektisen reaaliaikaista kuin Up and Vanishedin ykköskausi oli, niin melko katarttinen oli tämä viimeisin, kuukausi sitten ilmestynyt jakso.
