        There are 3 or so channels I can't manage, but I can manage the rest.
      • 2016-04-01 09248, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        By "manage", what do you mean exactly?
      • 2016-04-01 09201, 2016

      • Freso
        Access /manage.
      • 2016-04-01 09217, 2016

      • Freso
        On http://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/settings/ some channels have a "manage" link, and... 4 don't.
      • 2016-04-01 09239, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        Ahh
      • 2016-04-01 09231, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        OK, you should be able to add yourself as a "manager", since you're an admin - I've done it for you for now (for future reference, you can probably go to /admin > Channels > <channel_name> then add yourself under the membership bit at the bottom)
      • 2016-04-01 09254, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        But try it now and see if it's worked?
      • 2016-04-01 09205, 2016

      • Freso
        Oh. I forgot that I could use /admin. -.-

        also, that sounds like a bug in the bot

        alastairp: that

        still a bug
      • 2016-04-01 09235, 2016

      • ruaok
        Someone plz fix that
      • 2016-04-01 09201, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        Gentlecat: if we'd required it to deal with variations when it was set up, then it's a bug, but we didn't, so it's a feature request :P
      • 2016-04-01 09249, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        fair enough

      • LordSputnik
        Freso: there's a description too though - I was going to write more but GitHub moaned at me about going over 60 characters
      • 2016-04-01 09232, 2016

      • Freso
        LordSputnik: The description will be viewed far less frequently than the title.
      • 2016-04-01 09254, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        Freso: I can fix it if nobody has pulled the change :P
      • 2016-04-01 09200, 2016

      • Freso

      • kepstin improves the wording a little bit
      • 2016-04-01 09217, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        I do think we should start thinking about centralizing MeBID allocation to eliminate the possibility of conflicts between projects assigning UUIDs
      • 2016-04-01 09231, 2016

      • kepstin
        the design intent of UUIDs is of course that they can be generated by separate parties with minimal risk of conflicts, of course.
      • 2016-04-01 09210, 2016

      • kepstin
      • 2016-04-01 09223, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        kepstin: true, but there's still non-zero risk, and when we've allocated millions of them it might be significant enough to be a problem?
      • 2016-04-01 09232, 2016

      • kepstin
        millions? no.
      • 2016-04-01 09228, 2016

      • kepstin
        "only after generating 1 billion UUIDs every second for the next 100 years, the probability of creating just one duplicate would be about 50%"
      • 2016-04-01 09207, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        kepstin: at the moment the possibility of a collision is about 5x10^-22
      • 2016-04-01 09226, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        So, you're right, probably not worth worrying about
      • 2016-04-01 09247, 2016

      • kepstin
        that said, if people screw up the RNG, you can get collisions all over the place
      • 2016-04-01 09251, 2016

      • kepstin
        interesting post recently where people using PHP in Apache in prefork MPM mode, it failed to properly re-initialize the openssl RNG when forking. So as soon as you hit a PID wraparound, you got duplicate UUIDs

        reosarevok: Well...that is too simplified...it takes a lot of individuals all with families and stuff to runa corp... Many individuals aren’t bad or greedy they just made a choice....took a job...

        I'm sure there are some people who run corps (rather than just work for them) and are still very nice people. I'm not too sure how common that is, but I'm hoping more than I expect :p

        I think you guys know better than me...that Open Source is something that old economic models are still struggling with. I’d like to think this community is ahead of the game.
