[00:04:36] does it make you so happy? [03:06:01] [1/2] I receive that as clock work, every saturday evening! [03:06:01] [2/2] Like... move on already. Don't you get it that I am not responding to that? 😛 [03:24:06] Lmao [03:24:52] You have Glaucoma? [04:17:56] i have sharkgirl.ing :3 [04:18:00] blahaj? [04:27:49] [1/3] The Undertale and Deltarune wikis have forked [04:27:50] [2/3] https://undertale.wiki [04:27:50] [3/3] https://deltarune.wiki [04:39:07] \o/ [04:49:03] Fucking finally. [04:49:14] Good for them. [04:49:25] yeah [04:49:27] about time [04:49:47] it took a while for the vampire survivors wiki to fork too [04:49:51] but hey, we finally did it [04:49:52] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [04:51:48] and it's pretty good timing for them to fork, considering that chapters 3 and 4 of deltarune will be released in june [04:53:56] fork yeah! [04:57:32] also [04:57:37] love their system [04:58:15] ui is a bit weird and obviously different from the usual non-fandom wiki, but they managed to integrate discussions there [05:02:12] I'm not vibing w/ being visually identical to Fandom, especially mobile version [05:05:20] I wanted to recreate Fandom's Wikia skin for modern MediaWiki releases, unfortunately I didn't get very far because I didn't know much back then. [05:05:59] But I wanted a skin exactly like back in the days of Wikia so people didn't have to change everything to accommodate the new content layouts and have to get used to a new skin with different features and menus. [05:06:07] we have Cosmos now [05:06:13] I don't like Cosmos. [05:06:22] you talk about Monaco then? [05:06:31] I don't like that one either. [05:06:51] I haven't found one that faithully recreates Wikia's Oasis skin. [05:07:28] I don't see why there isn't, the original skin files are licensed under a somewhat free license. [05:09:00] I guess Wikia did have like four different skins, the last one was Oasis. I liked Oasis after it was killed off, cause FandomDesktop was eugh. [05:14:12] Oasis was changing indeed [05:14:29] before they ditched it for current atrocity [05:14:56] I particularly remember addition of global search bar and wordmark/gradient [05:16:11] also Fandom used to have Monobook [05:16:26] but not a lot of people knew about that [05:20:57] Yeah they did, it wasn't popular though. [05:28:20] [1/2] apparently it's heavily butchered Vector? it's the only skin listed in Special:About, really sad look [05:28:20] [2/2] and are they self hosting? I can't even see a licence and MW badges [05:28:55] [1/2] apparently it's heavily butchered Vector? it's the only skin listed in Special:About, really sad look [05:28:55] [2/2] and are they self hosting? I can't even see a licence and MW badges [05:29:28] yeah, they are self-hosted [05:29:52] [1/2] license is still listed tho, just not as the "CC BY SA" badge [05:29:53] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357225571079159919/image.png?ex=67ef6e50&is=67ee1cd0&hm=c4ea55d9392f99d029ac2ecda3d15598139aff41bca8660c4d516c6f7a3b25d1& [05:30:21] I'd would let users to choose skin tbh [05:30:38] also Vector 2022 would probably be easier to mod into this look than legacy Vector [05:31:20] or Citizen [05:31:39] or hell, Cosmos, it's all there already, just tweak paddings and stuff [05:37:40] Why are their shorturls h? [05:44:27] Hmm? [05:45:00] /h/$1 [05:45:11] Instead of /w/$1 or /wiki/$1 [05:46:56] it's /w/$1 for me [05:46:57] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357229871054717012/image.png?ex=67ef7251&is=67ee20d1&hm=bada795bec1e7cdb2305684fb97c49aa21be352691eacdd782c64a728f6e4eb0& [05:47:17] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357229953464143953/image.png?ex=67ef7265&is=67ee20e5&hm=3c08bb0719bab43e29ab2cb2d6f0b6bc471c5d1cdbc1459fbe50424ecd9f0f30& [05:47:30] /h/$1 is history [05:47:43] That's weird. [09:29:29] Oasis is the most fucked skin ever [09:29:32] I like it [09:29:41] But its split halfway between a skin and an extension [11:15:32] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357312562030448762/bafkreibflbivylbfhcna6fnc5pmmbyjgfq7yvakxu63su43aehiija5ta4jpeg.png?ex=67efbf54&is=67ee6dd4&hm=09325a640fbe3ff277e375ab44bf3e273f4029ea7f8cec6ec29841702c33c8b2& [11:15:43] ooh... I like those shoes!! [11:57:22] @blankeclair: yes, blahaj [11:57:53] hugging him destresses me a _lot_ [11:57:58] and he comforts me when i go cry [16:13:36] hello indeed chaire, i was wondering a pretty silly idea, if i have a server laying around that i wouldnt use, could i just give access to it to the miraheze team for them to use ? [16:46:07] [1/2] I think I broke my laptop [16:46:08] [2/2] It doesn't want to boot up windows [16:51:44] I really hope that it's purely a coincidence that it stopped working after the tiny magnetic screws from the tamagotchi I got was attracted to it [16:55:22] I hate I can't get help until tomorrow [17:00:45] Any stop code? [17:08:17] Like server hardware? [17:12:36] [1/2] I don't know what that is [17:12:36] [2/2] But startup repair failed [17:12:53] Yup, physical server [17:13:13] When you get the sad face, does it have an error code? [17:13:45] or qr code of it [17:17:25] I don't get the sad face [17:17:44] I just get a black screen [17:17:57] After the laptop logo [17:18:28] So I got no idea what the issue is [17:25:09] do you know what button invokes bios or safe mode? [17:26:52] [1/2] No [17:26:52] [2/2] I know F12 gives a menu which gives an option to choose where to boot from, but there's only 1 option [17:40:12] [1/2] Should I go with this? [17:40:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357409364016894165/20250403_183950.jpg?ex=67f0197b&is=67eec7fb&hm=20210fb7a78e2bffa91b130a5220e59557771cd24a3bbb9b71ab305f8c881999& [17:57:33] Hm, we host in a data center so I don’t know if we’d be able to send hardware in, @cosmicalpha and @agentisai probably would be able to speak better on that [18:25:58] We would and we’d pay collocation (server rent, basically) instead of leasing the servers as we do currently [18:26:05] What are the specs? [18:34:23] I thought we buy and own the hardware [18:34:38] We don’t own the servers, no [18:34:47] That would’ve been a monumental purchase [18:35:00] but we have installed custom hardware onto our currently leased servers [18:35:18] just the small hardware upgrades we did cost us half of last year’s fundraiser [18:35:30] each server probably has around maybe $10k in hardware? [18:35:45] so 10x6 = 🤑🤑🤑 [18:45:17] That’s fucking insane [18:45:46] I see now why the local GPUs were postponed [18:45:59] Were the upgrades bought or also leased [18:46:00] GPUs would’ve wiped out another bit of it [18:46:05] bought [18:46:07] outright [18:46:13] so that truly is Foundation property [18:46:38] Okay cool [18:46:49] they even have cool WikiTide stickers on them [18:46:56] !!!! [18:46:56] courtesy of yours truly [18:47:06] Hell yeah [18:47:28] Oh yeah, you’re the closest SRE to SLC [18:47:49] Do we have photos [18:48:52] I don’t think so. I’m in the Windy City. CosmicAlpha is the nearest [18:49:04] somewhere, yes, I’ll dig them up [18:50:07] TIL [[w:Windy City (nickname)]] exists [18:50:07] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windy_City_(nickname) [18:50:07]

[18:50:29] I always mix up Illinois and Idaho [18:50:51] I’d say it really is windy but science says it’s as windy as any other city [18:51:07] I don’t agree when we have 60 degree weather that feels like 35 because of 45mph gusts [18:51:11] Chicago has a weird ass logo [18:51:20] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_of_Chicago,_Illinois.svg [18:51:38] Its modern, I like it [18:51:46] better than just the city seal [18:51:51] looks very microsoft paint-core [18:51:58] but nothing beats the municipal device [18:52:15] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357427495648887026/image0.jpg?ex=67f02a5e&is=67eed8de&hm=1a7d49f4dcdd5404d332d44865cb164dbac0acd846de5c8a5e247c100c19d8df& [18:52:41] [1/3] >Okay guys let’s make a logo for Chicago! Our flag has red stars and blue, how can we make a logo out of that? [18:52:42] [2/3] >what if we just. Use it. [18:52:42] [3/3] >… genius [18:52:58] Also [18:53:00] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357427687446286516/image0.jpg?ex=67f02a8c&is=67eed90c&hm=29029bcf58043ebdf419479681cb5e2a98d4993b653bf5ca475ebfe034c0bc4d& [18:53:02] I’m concerned [18:53:21] if you go too far southeast then it does actually [18:53:35] [1/2] yarr!! 🏴‍☠️ [18:53:35] [2/2] -chicagoans probably [18:54:08] Dare you to find me a good seal [18:54:45] most deals are just boring [18:55:00] they’re fancy, symbolic, perhaps, but just plain boring and bring me memories of bureaucracy [18:55:17] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357428262032117991/image0.jpg?ex=67f02b15&is=67eed995&hm=e30d05ce8edb5978ff1f3e40dcfbf51d8e5d347acc46d98e764decc9070444a1& [18:55:20] whatever this means [18:55:29] I just know urbs in horto means city in a garden [18:57:21] can someone enlighten me on the difference between a seal and a coat of arms [18:58:17] A coat of arms is primarily heraldic and used for people, families, or countries [18:58:24] A seal is for official documents [18:59:30] thanks! [18:59:56] wouldn't this look bloody awful on documents most of the time? [19:00:35] It doesn’t look terrible, especially when it’s a little 25x25 picture on the top of documents but it is awfully complex [19:01:06] which is why the new “logo” is a bit nicer, especially since documents with the new logo typically have a nicer font and design [19:01:32] only things I’ve seen with this logo are boring documents that probably haven’t been modified since 1975 [19:15:48] i mean its not working yet, but like a 32 core epyc with around 128gb of ram and RAID1 8tb hard drives, would take me a tad of time to get smth like that but its no problems, all running by myself with a 2gbits symetrical connection [19:16:08] that sounds real nice [19:17:32] so if i got a system like that and managed the entire hardware side to keep it smooth, y'all would use it ? [19:19:37] If you’re really willing to be so generous then yes, we’d consider it and probably use it [19:20:12] of course, I can’t make a definitive call, that’s up to the Director of SRE but knowing him, I think he wouldn’t have any objections [19:57:52] Yup [19:57:59] I'm back now [20:05:24] [1/2] I selected 'with networking' [20:05:25] [2/2] Is that fine? [20:05:52] It did let me log in so I assume so [20:07:05] Yes [20:07:15] That's a good sign if safe mode loads [20:07:31] I assume all your data looks fine @ghaztliousmoths [20:08:44] Yea, nothing seems out of place [20:10:19] What should I do at this point? [20:12:37] @ghaztliousmoths probably likely a driver or something gone bad [20:12:46] Which should be recoverable [20:12:52] Take a backup first [20:13:18] But have you done any updates / installed new applications right before? [20:14:46] No [20:15:44] Take the backup then see if you can do any OS / driver / bios updates [20:16:00] If not then the laptop will need a rebuild [20:16:06] By backup, do u mean a digital or physical one? [20:16:20] @ghaztliousmoths whatever able [20:16:27] Ideally a full backup [20:16:34] Of as much as possible [20:16:47] Just in case things get worse for whatever [20:17:03] The fact you can see your data is good though [20:17:08] It's recoverable [20:17:36] [1/2] Alright [20:17:37] [2/2] I'll look up how to do a backup to an external device [20:18:04] Does your uni have a drop in tech bar you can go to tomorrow [20:19:53] Files that aren't backed up are leased from fate [20:22:52] [1/2] Yea, there's a technician's office [20:22:52] [2/2] Though my uni work is all save on onedrive and Google drive [20:22:52] They'll still be able to help you with fixing it though [20:22:52] [1/2] Yea [20:22:52] [2/2] Should I just wait then? [20:22:52] Do the backup [20:22:52] Never a bad time to do a backup [20:22:52] If you can [20:22:52] But actual recover probably best asking a tech to check [20:41:59] I can't connect to the Internet in safe mode right? [20:41:59] With networking, sometimes [20:41:59] It depends [20:41:59] But possibly not [20:41:59] [1/2] Well I’ll be damned [20:41:59] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1357451534371262545/image0.jpg?ex=67f040c2&is=67eeef42&hm=76b4b766c76fd578fbc5a3a9c4a910a8e223a68031c98651ffcb1decbe9edbd3& [20:41:59] So ig Windows Backup isn't gunna be an option for me then [20:41:59] I forgot Spotify had ads, I have premium lol [20:41:59] Not too OneDrive [20:41:59] Is it possible to copy everything over manually? [20:41:59]
