Just a friendly reminder: I happened to notice that the certificate will expire within about a day.
This gives me the opportunity to bring up something else: What exactly is the technical problem that precludes issuing a separate certificate for pics.pineight.com
? Does WebFaction only allow one cert per customer? Does StartCom require email addresses to be unique between Class 1 certificates? Or both?
Alternatively, what about moving pics
to Amazon S3, which would at least allow some HTTPS Everywhere rule to be written for it? Of course, this isn't worth doing unless removing the domain's contents from WebFaction would reduce the WebFaction costs. Does WebFaction charge per domain, or is there some number of domains included with the standard account package? How does it matter whether a domain has content actually hosted on WebFaction or is just a CNAME pointing elsewhere? This wasn't entirely clear from their website. --Eighty5cacao (talk) 00:59, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Just a random note: I found the video of the famiclone device that includes Nibbles.

The default link to Pin Eight:Privacy policy in the footer of each page is broken because we never bothered to write a privacy policy specifically for the wiki.

As far as I have found, no version of StepMania from 3.9 onward successfully displays the initial background (winbg.png
) in said simfile, because you placed it in the stills
folder but didn't specifically tell StepMania to look there. I haven't checked whether StepMania supports a subfolder declaration in the background tag like #BACKGROUND:stills/winbg.png;
.
As winbg.png
is not referenced in the BGCHANGES
, it could be moved to the simfile's root folder to solve this problem. However, as I know you're no longer maintaining those simfiles, would it suffice to add explanatory text to the /dwi/ page? --Eighty5cacao (talk) 06:17, 28 June 2014 (UTC) (+ 02:26, 29 June 2014 (UTC))

IIRC I have specifically tested with 3.9, some "3.9 PLUS" builds, a couple of late "4.0 CVS" builds, sm-ssc 1.2.x (?), 5.0 Preview 3, 5.0 beta 1 (?), and 5.0 beta 1a. This doesn't mean I have them all installed on the same computer, but I'm reasonably sure I'm remembering right. I am aware the latest release is 5.0 beta 3. If a The specific I am aware that all the East Germany simfiles predate ITG by far. In particular, "Balloon Fever" Challenge's 12-foot rating and description as a keyboard chart are probably inaccurate, because there was no precedent back then for the exact meaning of a 12-foot rating. However, I will probably never be a sufficiently high-level player to figure out what the chart should be rated. |

had any negative effect on gameplay. I think the only reason I added it in the first place is because SM 3.0, which was current when I created the simfile, would add an implicit background change to the song's background image after the last note in a song.To my knowledge, the "implicit background change" is still current behavior, and there is a magic word -nosongbg-
to work around it (at least the SM3.9 editor adds it automatically in some circumstances).
StepMania removed the dependence on Windows-supplied codecs by providing its own DLLs beginning around 3.9; similarly, ffmpeg was statically linked in the Linux build process some time in the sm-ssc/5.0 Preview era. How does that affect your response? And how would permalinking to this discussion from /dwi/ be any more "validation" than singling out a particular simfile without a hyperlink? --Eighty5cacao (talk) 22:18, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
I was just trying to help by providing others with instructions for fixing the problem. If you don't want people to see the full discussion, you can link to a revision with just my original post; another benefit of a permalink is that any questions/complaints posted by other users will not be visible.

I seem to remember from some previous discussion that <del>
semantically signifies "deletion" of some text, while <s>
is just formatting, and so you prefer the former. (My own use of the latter is typically laziness.) Did something change? Did I misunderstand?
Sorry I'm too lazy to actually find the previous discussion nor to do any other research. --Eighty5cacao (talk) 18:13, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
<s>
element now means "contents that are no longer accurate or no longer relevant". The <del>
element is more specifically for "text that has been deleted from a document" as the opposite of the <ins>
element, and I think these two are more for diffs and the like. --Tepples (talk) 18:34, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
In the "Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny" entry, the wording "All of them" should probably be removed.
You previously removed the same wording from TV Tropes, as discussed at User talk:Tepples/Archive 5#Wording on tvtropes:Literature/TheTimeMachine. Your TV Tropes edit summary was similar to, "A forum discussion (suggests|proposes|hypothesizes) that Weena may be less affected than others." --Eighty5cacao (talk) 07:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

This is admittedly another (normally discouraged) knee-jerk WP:OWNership reaction to this.
As far as you should be concerned, there is no such thing as a needy edit by me to my own userspace. In particular, comments are the ultimate expression of sloppiness, but that doesn't mean I make them without consideration; I'm generally aware when I'm being more verbose than possible, and there's usually a reason for it.
I would prefer that you edit my comments only to correct blatant factual errors, in which case you should bring it up on talk as well.
I'm not saying to avoid editing my userspace at all; just try to leave a slightly longer cooling-off period for me to catch my sloppiness, and feel free to tweak anything that isn't commented out.
You succeeded in reminding me that this particular comment was unnecessary to begin with. However, I ended up replacing it with something even more verbose (basically commented-out wikitext); I hope you don't mind. No one's supposed to be scraping the wikitext of that page, as I mentioned in the lede.
At any rate, I'll try to avoid abusing comments for transient communication that would be better served by an edit summary or talk page. --Eighty5cacao (talk) 02:14, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

What makes you think that the utility/privacy tradeoff of Twitter is acceptable? (I do agree that it's better than Facebook.)
You previously said about Google+ that Google already had your PII for AdSense, but I don't see how a similar circumstance applies to Twitter.
Is there anything important on that Twitter account that you aren't also posting on the Pin Eight homepage? Or did you protect the account? (I haven't bothered to check. I'm not on Twitter myself, and I would consider joining only if they added a "semi-protection" option that required login to view my tweets but allowed logged-in users to do anything that they could with a public account - never mind that I don't have enough to tweet about in the first place.)
