@LeedsBS are you not hashing your #passwords? 😬#infosec

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia Why? You knew this service was overcrowded.

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia this is the 7:41 from Wickford today, still several stops of passengers to collect... what's today's excuse?

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia We were told yesterday that it wasn't possible to schedule more services before Monday, but why can't you at least run a 12 carriage train for this service? Will it be 8 carriages tomorrow, too?

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia Hi Russ, there was just an announcement to follow social distancing guidelines- I'm glad to say we have a consistent 2cm of distance between passengers... What was that? Oh, the guidelines are 2 meters?!

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia ... so you can understand why passengers aren't satisfied with an answer that more trains will be running from Monday, and even this still isn't a complete service. You can't talk about keeping each other safe during a pandemic and run fewer, smaller trains. 2/2

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia your 7:41 service from Wickford was disgraceful - already full before another train of passengers boarded. You aren't making any effort to keep passengers safe in a pandemic. When is the SMN -> LST service returning? What are you doing to keep people safe?

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia What will you be doing tomorrow and Friday to make services safer for passengers? Appreciate you just drew the short straw to be on Twitter this morning, but freight can't fall onto the platform and injure itself, or catch covid, or suffer from claustrophobia... 1/2

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia Hi Emily, this page also does not talk about the direct service from Southminster, which is the one that I, and I see several others, have asked about - when will that be returning?

[Ben @BnMcG]

@greateranglia Hi Emily, unless a surprise bank holiday weekend has just been announced, I don't see how that helps commuters tomorrow or on Friday? Why not start running more trains now, as they're clearly running at an unsafe capacity already?

[Ben @BnMcG]

@prodbyzie That's disappointing to hear 😞 can I ask what industry you're in / who you interact with? I've never heard these terms used professionally, and surprised anyone would after the light shone on the issue last year

[Ben @BnMcG]

@prodbyzie This is pretty uncommon nowadays - the last widespread use I can think of was in a type of hard drive that hasn't been used in 15+ years.

Primary / secondary is used nowadays for the same purpose.

Master is quite common but in the "master copy" sense

When you can't reproduce the bug locally

[Ben @BnMcG]

If you don't do this (like I didn't) then the Docker action tries to checkout your code over HTTPS and checking out the submodule fails 😢

[Ben @BnMcG]

If you're using @github actions with @Docker and SSH submodules, it turns out you need to use the checkout action first, then set the Docker context to ${{ github.workspace }} so that Docker doesn't try and checkout your code over HTTPS!

[Ben @BnMcG]

@brian_d_vaughn I have a few different projects I bounce between every couple of weeks, if I spend too long on the same thing it begins to feel like a job!

@seaotta Reload the page and capture network requests!

[Ben @BnMcG]

@find_evil Happens to the best of us! 😅
