[18:47:42] <salty-horse> are there issues with jira? I'm trying to post a comment and it keeps saying "The Jira server could not be contacted. This may be a temporary glitch or the server may be down.". the website otherwise works fine
[18:53:25] <salty-horse> nm, I was causing it to crash due to using too many emojis :)
[19:16:26] <Derick> salty-horse: that's exactly it. MySQL, which backs our Jira, can't deal with UTF-8 characters outside of the BMP (including emojis)
[19:17:18] <salty-horse> you'd think such enterprise software wouldn't crash on invalid input :P
