06:48 <lishevita> hi!

06:48 <lishevita> I'm trying to install a new sandstorm instance, but I seem to be in a neverending loop where I put in my desired domain name, then my email and then it asks for my desired domain name again.

06:48 <lishevita> Any idea what might cause that?

07:01 <lishevita> the computer gods are laughing at me. I forgot that I had a freenode password and the server kicked me off!! OK... back to my question...

07:01 <lishevita> I am trying to install, but I only get as far as choosing the domain, then it goes into an endless loop of "what domain do you want?" "What's your email?" "What domain do you want?"

07:06 <crab> i don't know, but maybe the domain's not free?

07:09 <lishevita> i tried to see if the domain was taken (which would be a HUGE surprise, since I'm using Lakhota words which are unlikely to have been used before)

07:10 <lishevita> Is it possible to register the domain at the website, and then recover it on the server? That way I would know for sure what was up with the domain name choice.

07:11 <crab> i don't know. the only way i know of to interact with sandcats is through the api.

07:12 <lishevita> hmmm... OK.

07:12 <lishevita> I'll try something else.

07:13 <crab> out of curiosity, will you teach me a lakhota word? say, the name of some bird or plant or tree?

07:15 <lishevita> wombli is an eagle

07:16 <lishevita> hantesa (pronounced "hang-tesha") is the red cedar tree (thuja plicata) which is very important for ceremonial, medicinal, and practical uses.

07:16 <lishevita> need some word in particular? :)

07:18 <lishevita> (oh, just realized, hang in English is a different sound than what I meant. The a in Lakhota is more like father.)

07:21 <crab> thanks. i'd ask for some word in particular, but i don't know what trees i know (i'm in the himalayas) that would have names in lakhota. but i do know of Thuja plicata, so that works well. thanks.

07:23 <lishevita> :)

08:01 <lishevita> Oh!

08:02 <lishevita> Just found something interesting when looking at sandcats.io/terms It looks like their certificate expired yesterday.

08:02 <lishevita> This may be what's causing the bug?

08:02 <lishevita> Going to file a bug now.

09:30 <spread> Hi! Would it be possible to spread a Sandstorm service into a cluster of servers?

13:45 <Pauler> Hey, is there any Sandstorm app to vote on images?

14:11 <TimMc> lishevita: Ooooh, that might do it

15:47 <ocdtr_web> Pauler: There are two different apps that let you vote on things, but I'm not sure there's any way to put images in them.

15:48 <ocdtr_web> Lord: I am also a little sad the IRC has gone much more quiet. :/

15:49 <Lord> yep

15:49 <Lord> i hope sandstorm isn't dying

15:50 <Lord> i know the company died but i really hope the project will really continue

15:50 <ocdtr_web> Lord: I know kentonv intends to continue development on it on the side, and my hope is that other core devs do as well, but all of them are obviously getting settled at new jobs, and I am generally also bad at extracurriculars a while after starting a new job.

15:52 <ocdtr_web> But there probably also needs to be some community people who learn the codebase and start working on the core platform as well. There's a couple long-standing issues that I think really need to be addressed.

15:55 <Lord> like what ?

15:56 <Lord> as i said yesterday, i think admin to manage groups could be very interesting

16:07 <ocdtr_web> Lord: The two biggest issues I see come up that affects the app platform pertains to downloads. The lack of range request support and a Content Security Policy setting that tends to block downloads from inside the grain frame has been kinda vexing for a while.
