[17:22:51] You wanna know what the max we got quoted for a hard drive was? [17:22:53] At work [17:23:05] Self encrypting M2 drive [17:23:32] The government? My guess is over $10,000 [19:18:16] [1/2] why won't this go away [19:18:16] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1006789349498699827/1493691882880897124/image.png?ex=69dfe478&is=69de92f8&hm=b3e654cca0b86c12c2347faca5b149c6af19a7b12bc641cf43d32cb4a0158996& [19:18:59] visit on local wiki and clear it there? [19:19:28] yes I tried that skye [19:19:32] I'm not that silly [19:27:24] [1/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:TheWWRNerdGuy/imports [19:27:24] [2/2] Is this good enough for documenting manual imports, I've only done a few but the series of commands has worked fine for me so far [19:38:06] [1/2] I liberally write very short guides in tech NS. What you have written is infinitely better than my shortest guides. [19:38:06] [2/2] E.g. https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Tech%3AWiki_reset [19:40:49] Pretty much, £8k [19:41:07] So about $11k [19:41:30] I wasn’t precise but I was accurate [19:42:59] Use shell [19:43:45] I mean tbh $10k is a good guess for a lot of our contracts [19:44:09] There's always at least one extra zero on in government [19:46:16] u work for UK gov? [19:47:03] Yes [19:47:44] haha i hope it is better than sky news makes the gov out to be [19:48:35] they're paying me every day so [19:48:58] don't believe rhinos, keir starmer wants to eat my liver and shoot my dog [19:49:36] He'll change his mind tomorrow [19:50:41] watch what u say rhinos thats ur boss hahahha [19:52:36] He's far enough above the chain that I don't think he cares [19:52:51] Ive met a politician once [19:54:52] It was a lot of fuss for very little [19:55:18] summed up the UK there [19:55:37] I'm not allowed to refuse requests from serving MPs to see what we're doing though [20:00:06] are you allowed to say what you do do? [20:00:15] im asking out of curiosity [20:00:33] I'm a software engineer [20:00:58] That was a more general statement, crown bodies generally have to pay attention to members of parliament [20:01:32] I do not have a say over whether an MP visits or not personally nor have any contact with parliament [20:50:15] hey tech, do y'all know why CreateWiki Extension ran into an error attempting to creating this wiki? https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/79178 [20:50:36] full log text: " 05:44, 14 April 2026 CreateWiki Extension talk contribs encountered an error while creating wiki request #79178" [20:53:17] nope [20:53:25] wiki definitely does not already exist [20:59:41] i wonder what's going on with that [21:01:15] <_arawynn> the AI had some what I'd call hiccups recently in the sense that it couldn't process requests [21:06:50] hic [21:14:55] Oh that's a lie [21:15:16] @thewwrnerdguy check there's no dangling dbs or anything and just reset it back to in review and approve again [21:15:30] That's nothing to do with the AI [21:22:30] There is a dangling db on c3 [21:23:28] also is there a more efficient way of checking than going to each cluster and running `show databases like 'vesteriawiki';` [21:23:46] is it fine to just drop the db [21:24:15] running `shell examplewiki` lmfao [21:24:35] I already did that [21:24:38] it said it didn't exist [21:26:41] then you are probably good [21:28:13] just to confirm because last time I dropped a database bad things happened: it's fine to drop the database that exists on c3 and then approve the wiki request? [21:29:38] why is there a database [21:30:44] I don't know [21:32:55] [1/24] ``` [21:32:55] [2/24] > select * from vesteriawiki.text; [21:32:56] [3/24] stdClass Object [21:32:56] [4/24] ( [21:32:56] [5/24] [old_id] => 1 [21:32:57] [6/24] [old_text] => �T�n�8}�WLP,j� [21:32:57] [7/24] �o.�"�&�u�6��0Z��P�JRQܺ��Cʗ8��}�̹��9g�g�gww�ɄnY�b [21:32:57] [8/24] �~��_�N��:�ɤ7��T(C�D�� [21:32:58] [9/24] O�c� �[��r��)H�̕�Rx�:Вِ�Z�!kY%'taɴl��}? ��# [21:32:58] [10/24] ��^��km�)y{@��#�m�;��>>� [21:32:58] [11/24] Ysi�W��rB�N��>D�� [21:32:59] [12/24] 1z��0Ԝ�[�5��ۮ):l��0�� [21:32:59] [13/24] ��ѱ�j��OI�!)�`+��.�0��+� [21:33:00] [14/24] $��]Y��]j�N0��p�la�$n�EF3ەRpk��yW� �C�)ǪѤ��ϫv|Ss��O��)r��3k��7��m,V6��ł��J�ؚ!�%NcHkN��i�m��+�A�[ً�ϛ�b�g�x�� [21:33:00] [15/24] o�Z�r`�� [16/24] >�4�l��1�K�8�` ��j��FEBЫ��=�2:��Ԋ�!��ySa�p�I��u��J�Q2��V [21:33:01] [17/24] H��񋻋 [21:33:02] [18/24] �U�m�M�m�A�ݦ��֕<�|J��wB�ǣQ��`��g��r�{�s��R.ϴZ��?� [21:33:02] [19/24] �={��>�P��x@��(�C��a=9�K4-�� [21:33:03] [20/24] �Y��C��n�r�?��J�2l��?9f�,�4 [21:33:03] [21/24] ܗtrH�Ѧq��o [21:33:04] [22/24] [old_flags] => utf-8,gzip [21:33:04] [23/24] ) [21:33:05] [24/24] ```interesting [21:33:20] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1006789349498699827/1493725871360442388/image.png?ex=69e0041f&is=69deb29f&hm=a86515ece4b3772e3247817993b735852376bb4393aa56b254447e712b59fdd2& [21:33:34] There used to be a wiki there [21:34:36] ineligible for replacetext i see [21:34:52] this is a bunch of weird symbols for me [21:35:04] it looks like you tried to fix something and it fought back [21:35:27] the gzip flag tells you all you need to know [21:35:49] :flag [21:36:36] It's funny because the wiki was made in March 2024 but was in May 2024 [21:37:47] So I guess wikis between December 2022 and May 2024 had compressed revisions by default [21:38:01] yeah they did and why replacetext is restricted [21:38:20] Oh lmao [21:45:38] I did search the logs and couldn't find any mention of it being hard deleted either though [21:46:06] and I don't think it ever got renamed
