2020-09-26T05:13:49  <a-865k> connecting to beans.opensuse.org remains in statusbar
2020-09-26T05:20:51  <a-865k> got it figured out
2020-09-26T05:27:16  <a-865k> I thought I had, but submitting is producing similar failure due to beans.*.
2020-09-26T05:28:46  <a-865k> second try worked, but it's still not getting through to beans.*.
2020-09-26T12:26:24  <cboltz> beans.o.o is back - it was an interesting[tm] error
2020-09-26T12:39:39  <cboltz> the details are too long for IRC, I sent a mail to heroes@ instead
2020-09-26T14:12:45  <lcp> bmwiedemann1: we will be replacing mailing list backend whenever I have the time to migrate it, so I don't think it's worth the effort currently
2020-09-26T17:08:45  <cboltz> lcp: I have an idea how we could fix the messed up charset in the forums database without too much effort
2020-09-26T17:09:06  <cboltz> so far, we thought about fixing it with sql statements in the database, which is a can of worms
2020-09-26T17:09:19  <cboltz> however, fixing it on the sqldump level should be easier:
2020-09-26T17:09:47  <cboltz> "just" split the INSERTs with latin1 charset into a separate file and then convert that file to utf8
2020-09-26T17:10:28  <cboltz> that split will be manual work (cut&paste), but since it probably only affects a few tables, it shouldn't be too difficult
2020-09-26T18:48:03  <lcp> cboltz: that's true, I would have to check if the stuff in tables is put there in any sort of order (since the affected bits are before date x)
2020-09-26T18:55:10  <cboltz> usually sqldumps are in insert order, so in theory converting the "first half" of each affected / important table should work
2020-09-26T18:59:03  <lcp> hopefully, now I would just need to check the date tbh
