[01:42:41] [discord] eh, wikipedia clones are a dime a dozen on miraheze [02:02:19] [discord] If Famepedia is a Wikipedia copycat then the Miraheze wiki would break CP11, if it's just a random encyclopedia with original content then it's totally acceptable [02:08:43] [discord] It's had a significant amount of issues with direct-copy in the past, I don't know what current status is [02:14:15] [discord] doubt it's significantly better but it hasn't reached high enough profile to strike [04:20:09] [discord] no they are not [04:20:30] [discord] there are 2 or 3 encyclopedias [04:20:43] [discord] these 2 encyclopedias in particular are covering the exact same scope exclusively [05:26:34] [discord] I thought famepedia is long abandoned [05:26:47] [discord] somebody saves it from closure? [05:26:51] [discord] enwiki.miraheze.org and famepedia are both abandoned [05:27:04] [discord] but they don't meet the dormancy policy[ [05:27:48] [discord] maybe try to initiate closure via noticeboard [05:28:04] [discord] maybe [05:28:23] [discord] if there's no consistent editing, worthy amount of views and pretty much goes against content policy, then [05:28:58] [discord] unless I miss something [05:29:22] [discord] I only remember there was quite a drama between admins and some agreements [05:30:03] [discord] yea i see [06:15:32] [discord] @CVT spam https://wiki.conworlds.org/wiki/Special:Log/196.51.238.4 [06:17:36] [discord] Range blocked [06:17:48] [discord] thanks [08:50:56] [discord] is uncyclopedia a miraheze or mediawiki? [08:51:09] [discord] I know miraheze is mediawiki [08:51:35] [discord] I mean uncyclopedia is mediawiki but didn't hosted by miraheze now? [09:28:26] [discord] miraheze wiki would have a ":mirahezelogo: hosted by miraheze" sticker at the very bottom of a page [09:59:22] [discord] I know [10:31:18] [discord] so [10:31:37] [discord] look it up on that wiki you talk about [10:37:34] [discord] miraheze isn't mediawiki [10:37:35] [discord] MediaWiki is a software used to create wikis [10:38:24] [discord] Miraheze is a hosting platform and they uses MediaWiki [11:24:47] [discord] I know [11:25:01] [discord] uncyclopedia now use MediaWiki [11:25:43] [discord] because my miraheze accounts aren't registered at tolololpedia [11:25:58] [discord] They're MediaWiki yes [11:45:18] [discord] MediaWiki is software [11:45:29] [discord] you probably mean that they independent [11:45:42] [discord] hosted on uts own server [13:29:22] [discord] it's dragged along by a combination of random internet editors who stumble on it and the very very few who do pop up, I think cocopuff and its operator suni still show up there [13:30:25] [discord] and yes, a drama quite some time back did largely destroy any sense of direction it might have had; it made the newer operators leave and the founder return to just neglecting it since he did very little after setting it up to be more of a place to advertise himself and his brand + associates and influencers in general [17:39:29] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1080182469388664862/FB_IMG_1674445099394.png [17:39:36] [discord] there are [17:39:38] [discord] a lot of uncyclopedias [17:39:47] [discord] https://uncyclopedia.co and https://uncyclopedia.com are not miraheze [17:39:48] [discord] however [17:40:03] [discord] iirc there is an uncyclopedia on miraheze [19:36:08] [discord] yeah, there are a few either very closely/directly uncyclopedia and several more in that 'genre' [20:04:35] [discord] https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/dish-network-confirms-ransomware-attack-behind-multi-day-outage/ [20:04:37] [discord] yikes [20:04:46] [discord] their backups got encrypted too [20:14:10] Agent: that’s called a crap backup [20:34:43] [discord] Without looking into the details, it's also possible that their backups were good, but their security poor. If they were targeted by an APT that had access to their network for an extended period of time, it's not infeasible to think that they could have accessed or manipulated the off site backups (depending on how these are done). Or only the on-site backups were affected and it takes time to restore off-site ba [21:44:40] [discord] Speaking of just absolutely devastating breaches, LastPass is at it again: [21:44:40] [discord] https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/lastpass-hackers-infected-employees-home-computer-and-stole-corporate-vault/ [21:47:04] [discord] :ThinkerMH: Starting to think they're called LastPass because it's the last password manager people will ever use after this whole shitshow [21:56:45] [discord] challenge: lastpass trying not to have a data breach or get hacked (failed) [21:57:32] [discord] Finally completed severing of ties with Lastpass, timing couldn't be better. [21:59:38] [discord] i never used lastpass because i use the same password for everything 💪 [21:59:50] [discord] and yes, i am working on changing all of my passwords [22:07:36] [discord] Ooofah, yes, please do. That's a great way to get royally wrecked. [22:07:58] [discord] *says me, the human just now getting off of lastpass* [22:09:09] [discord] yeah, been on my todo list for a while, never got to it because of all of the accounts i have :p [22:11:01] [discord] I use the same password for everything unimportant (i.e. no money, PII or extensive & regulsr use). Never gone with a password manager because I've never had enough different important accounts that I can't remember the unique passwords. [22:11:48] [discord] eh, never really wanted to risk it lol [22:12:03] [discord] losing my accounts for the 23rd time 🥱 [22:12:14] [discord] 😛 [22:16:44] [discord] the ironic part is that ive wanted to be a security engineer for miraheze [22:16:45] [discord] so [22:16:53] [discord] thats something [22:23:30] [discord] Just checked, I have 455 logged passwords, so remembering them all or duplicating them are both bad ideas. [22:59:12] [discord] So I decided to withdraw my global sysop request for the fourth time within nearly 3 years. I won't be pursuing this, if at all. [23:09:52] [discord] eh, dont go too hard on yourself [23:10:32] [discord] honestly, if you worked on the few issues aforementioned, you would be a pretty good candidate [23:11:23] [discord] Good job as GR though [23:12:19] [discord] ^ [23:14:33] [discord] start with changing the most important accounts (bank accounts, messaging apps, shopping accounts, etc.) then once you have more time work on less important accounts like gaming accounts etc. [23:15:01] [discord] you should also check https://haveibeenpwned.com and https://intelx.io [23:30:13] [discord] definitely would advise a different approach if the thought comes to mind again [23:30:26] [discord] but in the meantime yes, you are the principle stakeholder on actually quite a lot of wikis right now anyway [23:58:40] lol
