@freemo I've been working on that today. I ran some scans, but nobody has a raw IPv4 address in their profile, that I can find with a regex at least. I suspect it's obfuscated in some way.
@freemo Take it easy for a few days then my man! You have safe hands in Trinsec (and in me too, I shall endeavour to prove) to leave the site in for a bit while you catch your breath, so to speak.
If you have the opportunity for a road trip, there's the [Bahá'í Gardens](https://ganbahai.org.il/) in the north of the country which are quite peaceful and might be a help to your frame of mind. Please do take care of yourself.
@freemo I plan to take care of most of the outstanding reports, and I should have time to catch up on the spammer deletion (interestingly, as Twitter migrants have increased, spammers have decreased in both relative and absolute terms). I don't really know what other loads you're shouldering at the moment but you might have better ideas than I for how to help - if there's a specific way I can, please don't hesitate to let me know.
I look forward to seeing your proposed changes but I think you already have done quite a good job on the instance policies!
@freemo Hey man I'm going to have a lot of bandwidth to deal with routine mod stuff the next few days. If you need me to focus on anything in particular just point me in the right direction. Hope you start feeling a bit more upbeat and feel free to reach out anytime!
@doubledodge LaTeX is currently not working here due to a CSP error. Sounds like it'll be fixed in our next update. If your browser supports disabling CSP, you can fix the problem that way (although you should first be aware of the risks) in the meantime.
@realcaseyrollins Turns out today's semifinal games are also on CBC, and not geofenced.

Interesting thread by @markmccaughrean concerning upcoming changes to leap seconds
@lucifargundam Hi! I've seen you around but it's nice to hear from you. Thanks for being a part of our community!
@lapingvino thanks!
@lapingvino Hi! I saw in your bio:
> I try to remember to tag my post languages appropriately
Could you please let me know how you do this? I see how to set a default language in the settings, but a user asked how to change it on a per-post basis and I didn't know the answer. Thanks!
@realcaseyrollins I think the championship next week will be on CBC, which is often free to stream in the US if there's not a separate American rights holder whose territory they have to respect. But for regular season games, streaming subscriptions based on conference seem to be the way it's done.
@realcaseyrollins yeah, rough equivalents:
CFL = NFL
USports = NCAA
RSEQ = SEC
That video is from the RSEQ championship - tomorrow the winners, Laval, are playing another conference's champions in the Mitchell Bowl, which serves as a semifinal for the USports championship in the same way the Fiesta and Peach Bowls do for the NCAA championship.
They play university football according to Canadian rules which vary slightly from the CFL's, the same way that NCAA and NFL rules both play by American rules but differ in certain details.
@realcaseyrollins for a taste, here's highlights of the Dunsmore Cup (Quebec conference championship) with English commentary.
By way of explanation, in Canada the goalposts are at the front of the endzone, like pre-1960s American placement. What would be a touchback on a missed field goal, punt, or kickoff* in US ball is a 'rouge' in Canadian football, worth a single point to the kicking team. Usually they're accidentally scored when the kicking team overshoots while trying to pin the opposition deep.
* On a kickoff, a rouge can't be scored if the ball goes out of bounds without being touched.
@RL_Dane I did not. I might check it out sometime, but I don't enjoy nonfiction A/V media nearly as much as I enjoy reading.
@obi @apinae @Chl0e_Girard Yuito shows quote toots, but doesn't implement all QOTO's other features
@RL_Dane that looks interesting; I might give it a read. I liked Where Wizards Stay Up Late and The Cuckoo's Egg, so it seems like a reasonably good fit.
@Absinthe hey! Long time no see. Welcome back :)
@freemo @gooseus not a clue. We've had a few other mods over the years, but I can't think of anyone who that could be. Best guess is Sphinx used to post in Chinese, and someone ran it through an online translator and came up with something like that? Having had to translate Chinese posts when resolving reports I can attest Google doesn't do a great job on it.
