Oh great, another @miraheze RfC about whether to shut down and, if not, whether to completely change the board and the organization behind Miraheze.

I really do not want to be forced to migrate again in the next month. #Wiki #Wikis #WikisWorld #Miraheze #WikiTide #MediaWiki #PandorasTaleWiki

Did you know... that History sniffing was used to track Papa John's customers in 2010 ?

I certainly did not, atleast not until I decided to do the research to write about it on Wikipedia :)

Feel free to check the article out at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_sniffing

Mindlessly scrolling through the federated feed firehose. Saw Lotte's post https://aperture.ink/@charlotte/111265792931423437 . It links to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Lua_memory_errors which links to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T165935 , a bug that Anomie rage-closed in 2017. I had never seen it before. It doesn't have the correct project tags. I'm not reviewing closed bugs anyway. In 2021 Surjection wrote there a solution for the bug, the exact code we need in dot-point flavoured pseudocode.

Is it silly that I seriously considered changing to another Mastodon server just to get access to additional #emojos? 🙈 Drooling for the options in #wikisworld and #fosstodon (though I'd probably go way overboard with them anyway). Btw, hat tip to https://emojis.in for the excellent emojo browsing service!
