(After catching up on hundreds of posts and detouring to set up a GitLab account...)

Jesse, did you get the donations@buffistas.org email issue resolved? I don't have access to the site's control panel, so we'll need someone who does if this is still a problem.

Need to make some changes to the whole 'Contact Admins' system.

Sweet! I'll be happy to help test.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It does remain true that donations@ isn't forwarding to me anymore, but I haven't tried to do anything about it. I probably have whatever login info we need, but Gud definitely does.

...and I just got a straight failure notice on my test email. Let me know if there's something I should be doing! I don't know where anything is hosted anymore.

I just filed a feature request for threadsuck capability and bug about the donations@ email in GitLab.

Pretty sure we're on Digital Ocean now? I'll probably follow up with Gud about getting control panel access for a few Stompies for emergencies.

So..... should I still be paying Dreamhost every month?

Same, but I'm used to it by now. It's like a nice little gift to me when I manage to stay logged in.

What is even happening?

Gud, if you pop in, is it possible to have the threads with the most recent replies at the top of the page?

As it is now, there's no discernible order, i.e. threads aren't sorted in alphabetical order, but they're not in most-recent-first either order.

Coding and Sleeping

I have some changes to push to the board with dependency updates and adding the ability to delete tickets. I might have to look at changing to reCaptcha v3 for guarding tickets and registration which is a bit more involved that reCaptcha v2.

The dependency changes make it a little scarier push that normal so I'll copy off the deployment before doing it. Anyhow, that has to be after work. After that, I'll look at thread order since that should be pretty easy. The big thing will be loosening up token checking so people can stay logged longer/easier.
