[06:08] <murmel> is something going on with the email service on lp? don't get any emails any more (since today)
[12:22] <ilasc> hi murmel: what are the types of emails you were expecting today ? 
[13:48] <athos> hi ilasc :) thanks for the replies in https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/703203. I was actually wondering if ~athos was indeed a team, if there were any possibilities of me getting the alias for athos@ubuntu.com (instead of, or on top of my current lp username). I believe I heard of such cases before, so I wonder if that is a possibility
[13:49] <cjwatson> athos: ~athos is not a team, it's a placeholder, which means it was registered in SSO but hasn't had a corresponding LP account created (which could be because it's been abandoned, or could be because it's only in use in some other system that uses SSO, such as the snap store
[13:53] <ilasc> hey athos unfortunately that is in fact an active account in other systems, so we can't reallocate it 
[13:56] <ilasc> I'm not an expert in the process of generating the alias, but since it is taken from the Launchpad username I don't believe it's possible to the alias of athos@ubuntu.com 
[13:58] <cjwatson> I don't think so - the username namespace is shared, so if somebody else who's active has that username in SSO (even if they're not active in LP) then it's theirs
[13:58] <cjwatson> I realize that's frustrating - just part of the reality of having a global namespace TBH, sometimes somebody has to lose
[14:08] <athos> I see. Well, thanks for explaining, ilasc, cjwatson :)
[21:13] <foobarbaz> Anyone else see https://launchpad.net/ is down.  I'm getting this:  Uh oh! Something has gone wrong. We're sorry! If we are in the middle of an update, Launchpad will be back in a couple of minutes. Otherwise, we are working to fix the unexpected problems. Check @launchpadstatus on Twitter for updates.  If the problem persists, let us know in the #launchpad IRC channel on libera.chat.  Technically, the load balancer took too
[21:14] <sarnold> foobarbaz: yeah, it's unhappy, and being worked
