The DoJ report is in, #SJSU actively suppressed and ignored reports of sexual harassment/assault from athletes and then retaliated against employees who tried to raise them: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-reaches-16m-agreement-remedy-title-ix-violations-san-jos-state-university

This has been going on for over a decade but really broke open after USA Today published their explosive story in April 2020: https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2020/04/17/san-jose-state-reinvestigates-trainer-claims-sexual-misconduct/5138353002/

The Spartan Daily covered how current athletes felt about the investigation: https://sjsunews.com/article/swimmers-scrutinize-investigation (I contributed to this one)

It is surprisingly straightforward to move a mailing list from Google Groups to #Mailman 3

Documented the entire process at <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailman#Import_from_Google_Groups>.

@brennen what makes you say that?

New project: prometheus-airnow-exporter scrapes air quality info for your zip code from AirNow.gov's API

https://lib.rs/crates/prometheus-airnow-exporter

Threw it together pretty quickly as a PoC to see if I could set up alerting when the air gets bad.

Just released 0.2.0 of package-lock-lint: https://lib.rs/crates/package-lock-lint?1 with lockfileVersion 2 (#npm 7) support!

It performs basic checks on package-lock.json because they're impossible to review.

And I formally proposed enabling it in #Wikimedia CI: https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/Q63LIVSJQAGFDBEFSXN24EMHGQYNTQJR/

LEGO Masters (Australia) is waaaay better than the US version, it's not even close.

You get to see the builds in progress more often and for longer, less host interruptions and showboating and better feedback from the judge.

@woozle you want "check"

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:HTMLForm_Tutorial_3 has most of the types (note that you can add custom fields too!)

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/%2B/HEAD/includes/htmlform/HTMLForm.php#146 is the authoritative mapping.

@woozle did you take a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HTMLForm?

Usually I find the wiki docs to be better than the code ones because the barrier to edit the wiki is lower than fixing the code.

@Greg we may be referencing different things, but that is exactly how my day felt

My #DebConf21 shirt came, just in time!

And a beautiful #Debian pin too :)

@brennen @liberachat all the channels are already bridged: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Matrix.org has notes

The one thing we do need a better guide for is how to set up a Plumbed room, which I suspect is what you want.

@brennen Joe made a joke when I joined ServiceOps that I'm going to become a "YAML engineer".

...he wasn't joking. helm/k8s is just go templates poorly generating yaml.

Ahhhhhhhhh

* Mike Richards was a bad selection for host even before The Ringer story.
* Everyone should buy Claire McNear's Jeopardy! book, it's fantastic and she's a great journalist.
* Disappointed over how toxic various J! online communities have gotten over this.

Above all else, the stars of the show are CONTESTANTS, not the host. Everyone should be talking about Matt Amodio and how he credited Wikipedia for helping him study to become the third-highest earner (so far)!!
