Question Automatically restore a dropped Zoom connection?
I once again (thanks Covid!) have a weekly gathering that has moved from in-person to virtual, using Zoom. I am an attendee, not the host. I need to be able to join the meeting up to about 18 hours in advance and then not interact with Zoom again. That is, I consume the meeting passively, but I ca...

Comment Post #285408 There's nothing dangerous about this. Please don't use that reaction for answers you don't like. If you don't think it answers your question, you can downvote or leave a comment explaining what you think is missing.

Comment Post #285269 This worked for me (with server name redacted): div[aria-label="Servers"] div div div[data-dnd-name="redacted"] svg path { visibility: hidden;} I kind of pieced things together from several answers here. Thanks!

Comment Post #285272 Oh, I see -- I have to apply `visibility: hidden` to the `path`, not to the `svg` itself. I guess the controls are attached to the SVG somehow?

Comment Post #285272 When I came back to my Discord tab later, I couldn't reach that server at all -- clicking on the empty space didn't take me there. I can disable the style override, go to the server, and re-enable it, but that's not ideal. Hmm.

Comment Post #285272 Adding the following to Stylus for discord.com worked for me: div[aria-label="Servers"] div div div[data-dnd-name="(server name)"] svg {visibility: hidden; } Where "(server name)" is the name of the server that I elided here.

Comment Post #285272 Thanks; I'll give this a try. I thought I had included enough; I blacked out the specific server name because I didn't want to start any server-specific drama, but the name under that black-out is unique, so it seems like I can key off of that. I just didn't know how, so thanks!

Comment Post #285270 A containing `div` (two layers up) has a `data-dnd-name` attribute that is the name of the server. Is there a way to select that and then change the visibility of the `svg` nested inside that?

Comment Post #285270 Thanks for the heads-up about Chrome. If my extensions stop working then that'll get me to change browsers. (Maybe I should anyway.

Comment Post #285270 I installed Ublock Origin and entered that as the filter (with `discord.com` as the URL), but it didn't have any effect. Then I noticed, while combining this answer with the other one and trying through Stylus, that *all* the icons use the same `svg-1X37T1` class. Any idea how to target just one of...

Comment Post #285269 I tried using `visibility: hidden` with `.svg-1X37T1` as the selector (based on the other answer). It turns out *all* the icons have that class, so that hid all of them. So we've confirmed that changing the visibility is the right action, but I'm stuck on writing a selector that picks *this* one ou...

Question How can I get my browser to block a specific SVG (Discord server icon)?
I am on several Discord servers. One of them has, as its server logo, an image I would rather not see every time I use Discord. I had previously used AdBlock to suppress it, but it came back recently and it now appears that Discord is embedding an SVG rather than referencing an image URL, so I don'...

Comment Post #285241 Each community has two mods, one of whom is a mod on both. As far as I'm concerned, if the communities merge, all of them can still be mods on the combined community if they want to be. Three isn't an unreasonable number of mods to have.

Question How can we grow this community?
Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged participants. The folks already here are doing good work; our challenge is to find more people like you ...

Answer A: "No associated Stack Exchange site from which to transfer your content?"
We have now removed that section on the profile edit page on communities that don't use imported posts. You should now see it only if you could successfully add a link.

Promoting this from a comment thread: samcarter has contributed a lot of both content and curation and would be a good addition to the moderator team -- and has confirmed in that thread that cats and dogs can work together here.

Question Who should the temporary moderators be?
As we have set up communities here on the Codidact network we've been appointing temporary moderators. Ultimately, of course, we want each community to choose its own moderators; we've been doing this as a stopgap, while communities are forming, so Codidact staff don't have to handle all the flags (...

Answer A: Unable to gave an upvote to Q or A
The answer pointing to the YouTube embed is correct. I don't know why it fails in that way, but while we wait for someone to put some extra guardrails around YT embeds, I've edited the post to remove the link. I am hoping that bad YouTube links are relatively rare and that we won't see this problem...

Answer A: Moved to a new OS version, didn't change project source, and now Datenstrom Yellow project won't build -- how do I debug this?
I have learned (from their forum) that, contrary to my impression, Yellow doesn't support search or the contact form when generating a static site. It does support them if you have Yellow serve your site dynamically, which is what the maintainers recommend. What changed for me, apparently, was not ...

Comment Post #284366 I copied everything from the old system to the new one. The Yellow "installation" is just a ZIP file that you unpack. It turns out I had some wrong assumptions (and a little faulty memory) and I need to approach what I'm trying to do differently. I plan to explain in an answer.

Comment Post #284369 Apparently the static site doesn't support search or contact pages; what's changed isn't the behavior but that I'm now getting error messages about it where I didn't before. Huh. But I've also learned that I can run Yellow on the web server as a CMS, instead of generating a static site, so I'm goin...

Comment Post #284346 Thanks for the report. I need to get help from someone with database access to investigate. We've seen this sort of problem occasionally, but in the past it was on posts that were imported or where now-deleted users were involved, neither of which is the case here.

Question Moved to a new OS version, didn't change project source, and now Datenstrom Yellow project won't build -- how do I debug this?
I've been using Datenstrom Yellow on a Mac running 0S 10.12.6 (Sierra) to build a personal web site (mostly a blog). The self-hosted test site (runs directly from source) and the build (generated site for deployment) work fine. I have a "home" area and a blog, and I use the Yellow extensions for side...

Answer A: With Datenstrom Yellow SSG, how do I generate lists of tags and recent posts for my blog?
The answer turns out to be to add a sidebar, which is a separate element. First, you have to use the Berlin theme, not the default. This theme adds a line to `system/layouts/default.html`: yellow->page->isPage("sidebar") ? " with-sidebar" : "") ?>"> For some reason the blog templates don'...
