[Dxspider-support] DX-Cluster mojo-version - great problems...

Sat Mar 2 08:03:21 GMT 2024

Hi Dirk,

Sorry to hear that your life/living arrangements are upside down. I hope
you find your way. It's a hobby and we are all grateful to everyone
putting time and energy into making things better.

I was trying to support Wolfram in that matter also looking into the
code but could not figure out what the problem is.

But I did some tests and basically two things described in the help
function do not work:

  * As you already tested the sending of messages in talk mode. But I
found that whenever one adds a special char (like @, !, : , and so on)
at the begin the message gets send over by the talk function. So my
guess it is a regex that does not detect the command properly.

  * And the // to send a message (with info) to everyone also seems not
to work.

No sure if this will help you narrow it down quicker. Thanks for taking
care!

The abusive situation that Wolfram faces is basically two users
complaining that the system is not working like they expect. And blame
the sysop. I guess only the fix of the issue will settle the dispute for
good as they are not understanding the situation.

Sidenote:  the email messages from the ML are send with a huge delay.
Sometimes days later.

And when browsing the git webinterface is "hangs". Looks like the server
is stuck in a high load situation?

Thanks a lot!
