Updating the CWCki

[Marvin]

People have tried. I think @Marvin said there's an issue with accepting donations.

You can't paypal someone without the recipient putting up their IRL name. I'm not very keen to dox myself for the cwcki.

I noticed that it directs people here for current events. I want to see the newest articles, nobody will add new content if they can't find the article.

it's a placeholder solution, but you can arrange the threads by start date and it will kinda function like a blog, I do this whenever I catch-up on my AL stories.

So I was working on moving the cwcki to a new server tonight. I had to take it down for that reason.

However, I can't fit the whole archive on the server while I extract it, so I'm having to move it overnight.

any progress on the transfer?

Moved the files. It actually shows pages if you set sonichu.com to 103.114.191.132 in your hosts file. (Probably shouldn't bother if you don't know what that is.)

Database isn't working though, so it's just using cached files for the articles. I think I'll need to do a proper dump / reload. When that works, I'll redirect the IP properly.

And I haven't tested archive.sonichu.com at all, but that'll probably be pretty easy once I've got the main cwcki working.

Heh, I have names for all the servers I've used. We're moving from yawningsquirtle.machine.sonichu.com to dudesofallteenages.machine.sonichu.com (Don't know if there's a dns entry for the latter).

Update: depending on your DNS cache, sonichu.com should be kinda working.

Some extensions and styles need to be updated. Also the other stuff I mentioned.

It works for me - and it loaded on its first try! On the old hosting, I'd be lucky if it would work every fourth or fifth time I tried to go to the front page, or access an interior page link. I'm sure that there are kinks and bugs to be worked out/through (as there will be if any site above a certain level of complexity is moved from one hosting environment to another), but so far, so good.

Don't know if all pages are affected, but some with Youtube embedding are broken.

Yeah YouTube links are broken. Also, I know it was mentioned above, but I can't wait for the current events window to come back. So much easier than browsing here.

lost extensions:

* EmbedVideo
* PipeEscape
* SidebarDonateBox
* CheckUser
* ConfirmEdit

Da Update? It depends on if enough people are interested in helping edit the CWCki. There's only, like, one person left who updates the wiki with new info, and since there's so much stuff happening with Chris lately, a lot of stuff doesn't make it there. On the other hand, Kiwi Farms has plenty of people contributing and is up-to-date. It's why I eventually removed Da Update and linked here instead.

Embedded videos work now and @Marvin , we should try opening the Cwcki to new accounts.

You mean vet the accounts to avoid getting a fuck ton of chinese sweatshop slaves flooding the thing with spam accounts. Again.

There is got to be a way to tone down spam accounts, after all, other wikis, including ED don't have much of the problem.

Other wiki have active moderation and ED is a bloated corpse as fat as Barb's

Just have people send jars of loose change to a PO box like the good old days.

 

[Salt Water Taffy]

The CWCkipedia archive still isn't working (but for some reason, the CWC's Sonichu Site archive is working fine).

The chinese are obviously after @Marvin's jew gold to either
a) cover their asses in case their warehouses full of crypto miners ultimately don't work out
or
b) use it to obtain/create more crypto miners
