ugh apparently my old mediawiki install was old enough that when I try to load it into the new version of mediawiki, it says it's too old to upgrade

Alice Averlong🏳️‍⚧️Mar 6

so I guess I'm upgrading to 1.38.7 first

a version so old that wikimedia doesn't show it on the download page anymore, just tells you to upgrade

I'M TRYING

Alice Averlong🏳️‍⚧️Mar 6

okay it's working now. I just need to remember how I fucked mediawiki into not allowing registrations, so I can re-enable it and then make my new user an admin

ahh:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

oh no my wiki has a photo of my resume on a floppy disk, complete with Old Name.

here I thought I was gonna be able to upgrade my identity without needing floppy disks, but obviously I was mistaken

@mira thanks!

@foone my bf has a sticker that says "I'm moving to Foone" on his laptop. I'm not joking I'll get a picture of it asap.

I guess he finally moved to foone

I like the new user icon. It's so cheerful.

@foone
Wait Foone was your actual name? I thought that was just a wordplay on "foo bar"...

Alice Averlong🏳️‍⚧️Mar 6

@agowa338 It is/was both!

It was "Foo" as in "foobar", plus "NE" added by a glitching C64 game

@foone did I miss something? When did you change your name?

Alice Averlong🏳️‍⚧️Mar 6

@foone A floppy disk in 2018?

Alice Averlong🏳️‍⚧️Mar 7

@Tapi I'm a bit about the floppies, as you may have noticed

Paddy O'Brien Mar 8

@foone im trying to picture the look a prospective employer would have on their face as they accept a floppy disk 😂

Alice Averlong🏳️‍⚧️Mar 8

@Tapi exactly why I did it. I brought it to interviews!

Paddy O'Brien Mar 8

@foone I love this 😁
