Bugs and Feature Requests / [RfC] Adding new forums
Last post by snow - Apr 25, 2025, 07:28 AMWhen building F9, I decided to only have a "General" forum for non-meta stuff to avoid not knowing where to put a topic, especially in a small community. In retrospect, I'm feeling that had the opposite effect-- now I worry the vibe is this forum is primarily for posting about projects (especially the tech-related sort). I imagine I didn't help much on this front-- my main way of starting discussions is by talking about what I'm working on, which often involves a computer to some capacity.
Not to say I'm upset with the topics that have been made here! A big part of this was having a place to talk about projects. But I definitely want more topics to feel suitable for here than just that.
How does everyone else feel? Is there anything in particular you'd want a forum for?

Last post by snow - Apr 25, 2025, 05:59 AMIt's been a bit, but this has been the main thing I've been working on! Here's a bit of a preview:
You cannot view this attachment.
The basic idea is as follows:
The trickiest part so far was getting nesting to work properly, but now it's good! I just have to work on dark mode support, and then it should be good enough for prod.

The basic idea is as follows:
- Use [spoiler][/spoiler] to hide a spoiler, setting [spoiler=Some Text][/spoiler] to define the title text to "Some Text"
- Use [noguest][/noguest] to restrict text to logged-in users. This is automatically opened, but still collapsible if you're taking a screenshot and want to hide it. (credit to @iliana for the idea)

Last post by snow - Apr 19, 2025, 01:05 AMQuote from: Skirmisher on Apr 18, 2025, 05:04 AMIf we already wanna have inline monospace text and code blocks, then I mean, y'know, why not both here too,
The main problem is, what tag should we use for that? I'm worried about a <pre/> vs <code/> situation where it can get confusing on which is inline or block

Hmm, I'll have to see how much I can do there. I want to avoid JS if I can help it, so I was just going to do a summary/details thingo.

Last post by viviridian - Apr 18, 2025, 08:33 AMQuote from: snow on Apr 18, 2025, 04:19 AMFinally put aside some time to look at the SMF-Docker repository-- this looks really good!sure, go for it!
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.
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"

Last post by Skirmisher - Apr 18, 2025, 05:00 AMQuote from: lifning on Apr 16, 2025, 07:34 PMwow, making akmod be a background task that keeps going after the update transaction seems like a huge mistake on their part... i could swear it wasn't like that in the late aughts but i haven't used proprietary gpu drivers and fedora at the same time since back thenI'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...)
