I spent 4-6 hours the other day trying to figure out the equivalent of Hello World for a MediaWiki parser function extension.

In theory, they have a quick start guide, but that documentation has so many errors, and I spent ages jumping between PHP and a JSON configuration file I barely understood.

At least it’s working now. Now time to figure out how the heck to properly interact with the MediaWiki database!

(Perhaps once I’m a bit more confident in MediaWiki development, I’ll see if I can tidy up some that documentation.)

Yeh. They really did C++ unnecessarily dirty.

I use the Chicago95 XFCE theme, which modifies the bash prompt.

C:\home\dexcube\Development\piper\build> python3
Python 3.13.2 (main, Mar 13 2025, 14:29:07) [GCC 14.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> Decimal('0.1') + Decimal('0.2')
Decimal('0.3')

Why does that lock oddly like the iOS 10 default background?

Time to make a GRF of it.

Why do we even bother with data at all? Let’s just not exist - humans greatly increase attack surface.

Why does it feel like if Ron had a computer at all, he would would a Libreboot Thinkpad running one of those weird FSF-approved distros with no firmware?

Apple should experience bij.

Looks like it’s fixed. Yippee!

MariaDB for the win!

I got a response to my e-mail; they say it’ll be fixed by Monday.

JavaScript be like that sometimes…

That is so me sometimes.

Sent! Although I just realized it’s not like only one person has to send an e-mail; multiple would make it clearer that these images are important to some people.

Has someone sent an e-mail about the issue? If not, I can message debian-cd@lists.debian.org, which seems like the person you should contact.

This is very annoying to me; I’m a big fan of these images and they’re my goto for testing Debian on new hardware or doing full disk dumps/images.

Honestly, as a busy college student, I’m not sure I could have put in the time to finish it up. Also, rendering the SVG moderately lagged out my computer - I can’t imagine the misery on weaker devices.

…er than you’ve ever been, and now you’re even older, and now you’re even older…

A shame. I’d kind of become a fan of the Taka look and was rooting for Mirage. Ceroptesian is hardly bad, though. I just found it a smidge on the blander scale than Mirage, though I liked it better than Painting, which looked more like something from Ubuntu,

I did make a submission (Cathode), but I freely admit it’s not great.

Yes to the first question. I could be wrong, but I think you have to run umount on the directory sdx is mounted on, not sdx itself.
