* guiverc unhappy (again) with ubuntu studio support one; I fear confusing.. so locally playing...01:31
guivercBashing-om, maybe s/Though this new area is a special Ubuntu Studio section of the Ubuntu Discourse it is not for support and help (general OS help/support already exists), rather for open discussions/A new area for Ubuntu Studio discussions now exists on Ubuntu Discourse, not for support and help, but for open discussions/   01:31
Bashing-omguiverc: Ack - Happy to go with your re-write.01:32
guivercwhy: i still read the 'not for support' as linking to the move from askubuntu to discourse for readers..  then they're told it's not for support?? they'll scream...01:32
* guiverc wonder if what I wrote would be better with an added 'Also' ... (again so as to not confuse/muddle readers..)01:33
* guiverc moving on with read thru...01:34
* guiverc likes how the Steve Langasek bit appears; thanks Bashing-om 01:35
* guiverc surprised by python2 update... 01:40
guivercwe have a noble item that looks unusual ; https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/noble-changes/2025-January/044110.html   maybe result of package name thought (netplan.io??)01:47
Eickmeyerguiverc: That's the literal name of the package. 01:48
Eickmeyer!info netplan.io noble01:48
ubottunetplan.io (1.1.1-1~ubuntu24.04.1, noble): Declarative network configuration for various backends at runtime. In component main, is important. Built by netplan.io. Size 67 kB / 338 kB. (Only available for linux-any.)01:48
guivercyeah I suspected... still looks unusual in list (on discourse; thus my comment... I wish I knew a way of preventing the url treatment.. though if it was treated differently, it may look even worse on ML when sent)01:49
EickmeyerI'll see what I can do.01:50
Eickmeyerope.. 503 for now01:50
guivercits not that important... many likely won't notice (& esp. care) ... I'm mostly noting what I see (i saw it on oracular too; if on jammy I didn't notice that)01:51
guivercyeah... trying to scan back & read editors of doc to check contributors list; and no response here too...01:53
EickmeyerFYI, you can prevent URLs from auto-linking by encapsulating them with <span></span>.01:54
guivercthanks Eickmeyer !  01:54
Eickmeyeryw. Now if only the site will come back up. 😆01:55
guivercBashing-om, do you notice it?  it's only a different color (clickable link on screen, if someone clicks link they go to relevant site so i'm not worried by that)... worth adding <span>?? as that is more work; and may also appear on ML & other posts where it's a negative.. 01:56
Bashing-omguiverc: Yeah noticed - no idea of the cause and did not put effort into knowing the why --- also of note is our UWN scripts are unhappy with /usr/lib/python3.12/urllib/request.py :(01:58
guiverctried to run it locally; 500 read timeout....   so I didn't get that far..02:00
guiverci did finish read thru (except for contributors anyway; can't scan back to see if someone else edited we've not included.. at least not currently)02:00
guiverccontributors all listed too.02:33
Bashing-omguiverc: Uh Huh - Discourse back in operation -- but S L O W for me - wait and see if it falls over. 02:36
guivercyeah it took me M A N Y goes before I got the contribs checked...02:37
* Eickmeyer uses <span></span>! It is ineffective!02:43

guivercDebian News are working on a public announcement relating to death of Steve Langasek, if it releases in time, we could include (easily) it as a list item (874) with what we have already in the press section12:48
