09:02 mmorgan @coffee everyone
09:02 * pinesol brews and pours a cup of Colombia Huila Supremo, and sends it sliding down the bar to everyone
09:03 bshum "Uh oh, sounds like you have a case of the Mondays"
09:03 mmorgan bshum: I'm priming the group for a holds question ;-)
09:04 JBoyer "Holds: Should they even be allowed, really?"
09:04 bshum JBoyer++ # haha
09:04 mmorgan :)
09:06 mmorgan Does the max foreign circulation time option send the item home only when there is a hold at home?
09:07 bshum An interesting question... but why would you need the item home if there isn't a hold at home?  :)
09:07 mmorgan For the situation where a single library owns an item, and there are holds around the network, Is there a way to send the item home before filling the next hold if there is no hold at the item's owning library?
09:07 bshum Cause then wouldn't checking the item in at home cause it to go back into transit back out to where the holds are?
09:08 bshum Just thinking about what'd happen next
09:08 agoben We just want libraries to be able to check the status (repair, etc) of materials occasionally without having to place a hold.  I put in this bug for that reason: Hard max foreign circulation setting
09:09 agoben Bug #1809152
09:09 pinesol Launchpad bug 1809152 in Evergreen "Hard max foreign circulation setting" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1809152
09:09 JBoyer bshum, The soft stalling period would allow some time for browsers to potentially find it.
09:09 JBoyer (we tried running with no soft stall for a very short time, not great!)
09:10 bshum JBoyer: Aha, right.  See, I've been outside consortia too long to remember that feature
09:12 mmorgan bshum: Yes, it would, but if the item never goes home, the library doesn't ever see it and they may want to opt out of filling the next hold so their local patrons could find it.
09:12 mmorgan agoben++
09:13 mmorgan JBoyer: Would soft stalling send the item home before filling the next hold?
09:17 Christineb joined #evergreen
09:21 JBoyer Not sure without looking (and spending the requisite hours re-learning what I'm looking at...) In ref to your original question though, I think that setting will force the item home regardless of holds. Then soft stalling can keep it there for a little bit before potentially taking off again.
09:24 mmorgan JBoyer: Thanks for the lead, I'll look at that.
09:24 mmorgan JBoyer++
09:25 JBoyer mmorgan++ # good luck!
09:25 mmorgan It seems not unusual that items can happily travel around the network and not return home for a long time.

10:23 jeff eventbrite appears to be down. "This site is currently under maintenance. The Britelings are currently working to return you to the service as quickly as possible. [...] We'll keep you updated on Twitter." Nothing on their Twitter feed.
10:23 jeff (nothing relevant, that is)
10:35 jeff ...and now it seems to be back up.
10:36 JBoyer I was just about to say that it was working for me. :)
10:36 jeff (but really, "The Britelings"? :P)
10:37 JBoyer Yeah, that's sub-optimal naming.
10:40 Bmagic I think it's funny
10:40 Bmagic Now considering a 404 page with "MOBlings"
10:41 jeff the text of their Twitter update during the downtime is, "Alcohol and safety must go hand in hand when you're hosting a wine event." I'm going to choose to believe that's unrelated.
10:41 Bmagic lol
10:44 JBoyer It's much more entertaining to believe that's directly related. Wine-and-dine datacenter events gone horribly awry.
10:45 JBoyer *Slap* "This server right here, it can prucesss SO MANY registatations...." "Oops..."
10:46 Bmagic Computes+wine = Packets falling out on the floor everywhere
10:48 Bmagic Better put: Computes+wine = TCP Packets dropping out on the floor everywhere
10:52 Bmagic Hey, something I've wondered about since the feature was introduced: Where are the secondary permission group assignements mapped in the database? Same table, but many-to-one ? permission.usr_grp_map ?
10:53 Bmagic assignements/assignments
11:02 JBoyer Bmagic, permission.usr_grp_map. Your primary group is stored in actor.usr.profile, everything in pugm are secondary groups.
11:02 JBoyer Sort of like /etc/passwd and /etc/groups now that I think about it.
11:02 Bmagic ah! Makes sense
11:08 jeff ...and only actor.usr.profile is taken into consideration for circulation policy purposes. Secondary groups are only for permissions.

13:59 bshum Well hey the new (chromium) Edge dev browser let me register a workstation and get logged into the web client.
13:59 bshum So that's cool
14:00 Dyrcona :)
14:02 yboston joined #evergreen
14:02 Bmagic oh man, I just heard that news this morning
14:02 Bmagic MS Edge is going to be using Chrome on the backend? Wow.
14:03 bshum Yeah so far in my testing, it's basically Chromium with Win10 styling for the settings, etc.
14:03 bshum And you log into your Microsoft account, rather than your Google account, etc.
14:04 bshum Maybe my corporate overlords will be OK with letting me have this browser to replace my IE11
14:04 Dyrcona Google continues to eat the world.
14:08 Bmagic Sort of blows my mind. I guess everyone agrees that Google did it right. If you can't fight em, join em.
14:09 bshum Everyone except for those Mozilla guys ;)
14:09 bshum (there's probably some others out there)
14:09 Bmagic Opera did the same thing right?
14:09 bshum Something like htat
14:09 bshum *that
14:11 Dyrcona Well, seeing as Chrome started with WebKit, you can thank KDE then Apple... :)
14:14 bshum I'll be curious to see what Microsoft pushes back to Chromium for their needs

14:25 pinesol [evergreen|Dan Scott] LP#1666987: Include a user-agent to build the relator map - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=f057247>
14:35 collum joined #evergreen
15:07 JBoyer bshum, most likely patches that make it less of a pig re: battery and ram. ;)
15:07 bshum JBoyer: That would be nice :)
15:08 JBoyer I didn't have especially strong feelings for Trident, but it was nice to have 3 viable engines. If Google ever stops paying Moz to be the default engine we're basically down to just one now. :/
