Would it be alright with you if I submitted some PRs? I've built out a PHP script to auto-configure SMF, and also had to make some configuration changes so it'd work on my end.

sure, go for it!

i started poking at building a reverse proxy in python. it's *kinda* working aside from POST requests, I'll probably leave that for later and focus on the more interesting main quest of "install updated versions of locally built packages"

If we already wanna have inline monospace text and code blocks, then I mean, y'know, why not both here too,

(it would be cute if the block style used a button as the toggle widget, but that's just my nostalgia bias)

I'm pretty sure dkms on Fedora builds modules synchronously during an upgrade, but presumably akmods never do that because they stick the built module in a package and then install that, and thus can't run at the same time as the RPM transaction that upgraded the kernel or akmod package. (Yes, you could decouple the two steps, but...)

The Plasma UI encouraging automatic reboots after upgrading (as well as fully-offline upgrades which would also reboot immediately after) is a hell of a way to set off that particular footgun ._.

(I used the nvidia akmod package for a time, but I think we swapped the GTX 970(?) for an AMD RX 580 before I ever did a major version upgrade on that system...)

it's a good thing I wrote all that down because I needed that akmod again today after taking a system update through discover

some of the urls in the animation go to a nifty 3d model viewer thing

I saw this yesterday and didn't even post it to all my google wavebirds the forum! This website is like, ten to twenty percent of my identity!

Finally, back in its finest form: a Flash animation I can't pause or rewind without restarting.

Also, I feel there's something to be said about watching a Flash animation on an iPhone. something something can't believe steve jobs died of ruffle

Absolutely! My plan was to have a dotted-line border, or maybe a block-type element with a title explaining it's members-only. I'll make a quick proof-of-concept when I'm in front of my computer.

is there enough water on the moon for that?

I got this 50ft hose from the hardware store, so that's gotta get us like halfway there...

Adjacent to [secret], I'd love to have a [spoiler] tag for, well, spoilery text. My first idea is something like the traditional block format using summary/details, but I feel that's not the "norm." Nowadays spoilers are done by "redacting" the text and making it visible on click.

It's not like we can't support both, but the BBCode renderer isn't particularly context-aware, and I don't want to make the types of tags too confusing for others. But if anyone has an idea for how to make it less confusing (or feels one or the other is unneeded), I'd like to hear it!
