My company uses rocketchat internally, and I'm not impressed. It's not bad overall, but if you download the apps for both PC and mobile you can blatantly tell that they essentially just put a wrapper around it for a different OS from the web version and called it good. The browser version is alright, but the rest are very buggy -

The browser version is alright, but the rest are very buggyThat's because that is exactly what Slack does and they are the market leader. Isn't a wrapper on the web site the best way to do it? Why is that a negative? Buggy is an issue, but haven't seen that yet. But it's like a faster, slicker, free Slack.

@scottalanmiller A wrapper isn't bad... if done properly. They literally took the whole thing and essentially copy/pasted for a different OS with no changes made. There's an option in the settings on android to enable desktop notifications.... It constantly disconnects, even while providing a solid internet connection, text editing on the android version is buggy- it deletes or adds additional letters. The desktop version has a tendency to freeze, and there are very little customization options for the applications, though you can change the skin in the browser with an extension.

Anyone seeing the site slow down? Yeah, apparently we have some crazy traffic going on.
-
Load appears to have returned to normal. NodeBB reports only by the hour and we are nearly at a record hour. But it looks like all the traffic for the hour came in just ten minutes or so. So we were taking quite the traffic levels for that little bit.

Don't have anything really to do... might go play some FallOut3 ... haven't played in almost a year. May just start over to relearn the controls.

I need to do that, too.

CF definitely saw the spike and the cache didn't get hit so NodeBB absorbed every one of those requests. Blue goes to NodeBB, Orange is shaved off by CloudFlare.

Migrating some people from Zoho Chat to Rocket.Chat. We've found Rocket to be faster and more reliable. So shifting over there.

Found a rogue server. Shutting that down to see who complains. Yes I checked with @art_of_shred first.

NextCloud updates.

Crying.....
The Broker I have used since 2009 said they cannot beat these plans anymore and to just sign up on HealthCare.gov.
So f***ing upset right now.
That health plan is a f***ing HMO.
This is all for a family of 4.

@thwr yup. That's monthly.

Insane. We already had this discussion, but ... It's a percentage of your income here, currently ~15.5% and capped at ~400 EUR per month. This includes everything: Wife, kids, dental, cancer screening, surgery...

Not entirely unlike that here but at a higher percentage, higher caps and variable coverage options.

Yeah, there is no such thing as a "variable coverage" here. Brain surgery? Doesn't matter, costs will be covered, including rehab.
