[01:52:07] i miss the old fandom logo [02:05:18] @Agent Let's continue the discussion from where we left off on. [02:06:47] Not much else to say other than that Raidarr would be a good GS [02:08:21] Yes, and quite fitting for the role. And to think he joined this June. Doug joined in June of last year on Miraheze anyway. Hopefully, he'll be back tomorrow, as I've asked the MirahezeBot to tell Doug to look into a specific case (or specific cases for that matter), that's been lingering in the air for quite a while now. [02:08:52] For some reason whenever someone says GS, I get reminded of my GS request. [02:09:22] Yeah, but Doug was a seasoned Wikipedian to begin with which helped him a lot. Raidarr isn't but his advancement is remarkable [02:09:23] Bukkit for GS [02:09:56] As I've said before, Raidarr has the boldness I lack in regards to RfXs and that's a plus [02:09:58] I mean, look at Agent. The dude's a veteran here compared to me and Raidarr. [02:10:34] I guess, I joined in 2015 heh [02:10:48] I'm actually user #155 on Meta [02:10:54] Yep, he gives MrJaroslavik a run for his money in comparison to knowledge. [02:11:32] You remember that number so well? [02:12:04] You can actually see what # user you are locally on a wiki through an API call [02:12:07] Let me find it [02:12:31] Alright. [02:12:38] An API call? [02:12:51] https://meta.miraheze.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=userinfo&uiprop= [02:13:01] > {"batchcomplete":"","query":{"userinfo":{"id":155,"name":"Agent Isai"}}} [02:13:03] for me [02:13:09] so user #155 locally on Meta [02:13:46] For some reason, it doesn't show the # user I am locally. [02:13:54] what does it return? [02:14:08] {"batchcomplete":"","query":{"userinfo":{"id":0,"name":"2601:18A:104:3B50:5112:9B48:AF6:F772","anon":""}}} [02:14:19] you're not logged in it seems? [02:14:46] If that was the case, then perhaps I should make it happen by having it logged, perhaps? [02:15:22] Yes, you need to do it when you're logged in [02:15:52] Oh yeah, that's right. I have Incognito open, where I'm logged in. So, I'll try it. [02:16:17] Oh, I'm #77791 [02:16:41] nice [02:16:44] I am the 77791st user registered in the database. [02:19:52] Bukkit is #222993 [02:19:57] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/921587558893355028/Screenshot_20211217-231924-121.png [02:20:01] I decline [02:20:37] Cant see what WikiJS is, cuz [02:20:42] its locked [02:30:54] "Wienerwacker". Quite a wacky username. [02:35:36] So imagine if it were Quicksilver [08:54:50] Orain (I keep bungling the name though) is quite pertinent experience as well :p [08:55:43] Strictly speaking in extension to the last bit from #cvt, everyone invariably goes inactive eventually, but I don't forsee myself being one of them very quickly [09:04:52] Don't think I'll ever be a real sysadmin lmao [09:05:42] good think I have a cheap VPS now to break VMs entirely ¯_(ツ)_/¯ [09:06:35] I can't even figure out vi lol [09:09:50] It's a miracle! [09:09:50] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/921690711257145354/unknown.png [09:17:57] necessity wise, vi isn't too high up imo [09:18:08] Not bad to know of course :p but I'm sure you could get it [09:23:25] Yeah... Being the n00b that I am, I'm just struggling trying to figure out installing FTP so I can do edits locally lol [09:23:36] I rather like Notepad++ [09:23:57] That's what I use btw [09:24:34] ftp should just work if ssh is open [09:34:31] I'm partial to n++ as well; I consider nano to be a very nifty *nix alternative [09:34:39] For the terminal that is [09:42:57] See, the reason I need this experience is that I'm great from the front-end of most all websites. I just spent over an hour trying to scp from a Linux server to Windows because I somehow didn't know they're not compatible lmao [09:43:14] So, not the back-end though [09:43:53] Where would I even be without apt or yum though... [09:44:09] heh [09:45:27] lots of respect for those who build LAMPs and know what they're doing... more so for those who build from bare metal up [09:47:14] yum yum :p [09:47:44] I'm kind of in a similar boat, I'm competent with certain aspects and then when I reach a certain distance I just fall into the void. [09:48:28] Maybe once I get bold enough to start on a Windows Server, I'll find I'm not so incompetent after all ¯_(ツ)_/¯ [09:48:40] I like to think I'm pretty good with Windows [09:48:53] I suppose if you're good with the paradigm you'd have a fair shot [09:49:15] I do think trucking it even through a simplier linux deal is the more portable experience, however. But, if Windows is how you get through the door, by all means [09:50:08] Fair bit of competent sysadmin-ing you can do right on a win 10 or whatever [09:50:27] win server 2016 I hear is a competent desktop by itself too :p [09:50:35] ¯_(ツ)_/¯ [09:50:35] getting this is just something else for me, lmao [09:52:44] You're one of the only users on MH who doesn't bungle raw imports of wikipedia templates (at least after you've cleaned them up), if you can do that/mess with lua and bots, I'm sure you'd get it too :p [09:54:23] ugochimobi: I believe it's because that forward slash is being taken as an escape character [09:56:35] You mean my various tinkerings with JS gadgets? lol [09:57:44] I referenced ugo, but I might have just misunderstood his context too :p I do think there's no reason why you can't make it either though. [09:57:51] oh [09:57:59] Yeah, see, I got lost [09:58:27] Although I could say that for almost anyone, just applying yourself can go a tremendous distance where you might have been incompetent and unaware a mere week ago :p [09:58:55] And that's why, here I am, trying for the third time tonight to install a LAMP lol [09:59:20] And the other point of that is that it might not be that you just can't get it, but that you're not quite getting it the optimal way [09:59:37] Perhaps a different system/approach might help, but I can only offer that in vague [10:01:04] Well, it probably isn't helpful that I can't exactly afford managed VPS (but who can, at those prices!), and it's not like I'm the best on my own setting up a VM from scratch haha [10:01:44] Normally, I learn these basic skills, finally understand, find an easier way later, then go oh my god, that was a thing this whole time?! [10:01:52] It does help to have that or physical hardware laying around; I'd suggest a virtual machine, but then you're going to be sucked in a black hole of networking [10:02:13] That's probably a universal law of some kind >.> certainly reflects my experience [10:02:59] There's gotta be a relevant XKCD for that [10:03:12] prob :p [10:09:56] and cue my little panic attack because the command naturally went to php74 and not php [10:10:20] I'm just laughing at myself here [10:10:34] but hey, I now have a LAMP [10:12:37] 👌 [10:12:50] may it illuminate your projects >.> [11:04:42] Let's hope dmehus comes back at some point today or tomorrow. [11:47:04] dross: Oh, I just found out that that stuff is in my phone keyboard actually, LoL, that and so many others [11:47:17] @dross [11:47:59] @raidarr I personally like when things are working, so I like so things work, not just imported.

[13:26:24] 4 pings aside, that is a reasonable approach ^^ [13:33:09] heh, I did 3 MirahezeBot did 1 [13:43:22] ugochimobi: you can do s/single word/new word [13:43:30] you don't need full sentence [13:43:37] like test sentence [13:43:42] s/test/this [13:43:42] RhinosF1 meant to say: like this sentence [16:46:02] Hi! Can you please explain this message? :P [16:46:32] I was comparing you to Raidarr. No harm was done here. [16:46:46] In terms of Global sysop permissions. [16:49:31] I don't see something bad, but I missed context 😆 [16:52:27] https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_global_rights&oldid=219393 Well, Raidarr requested to be a Global sysop a couple of days ago, but just wanting to give a little context. [16:52:28] [url] Requests for global rights - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [17:01:10] I saw it like hour ago, but do you mean that I am more concise in my replies?

[21:57:48] I'm doing okay. And you? [23:26:26] oh, he quited [23:26:26] Ow [23:33:55] DarkMatterBladeMan4000: I'm okay :) <3 [23:44:24] I didn't go anywhere.
