User:Dantman/IRC Humor

[01:00:21]  hmmm... I think it's about time to shout out in glee... [01:00:31]  Development Testing Server! Whohooo... [01:00:52]  T_T but the forums aren't setup [01:04:57]  The Wikia staff flag works strangely... [01:07:37]  strange that it works, or it works in a strange way? [01:10:17]  Strange that I'm staff, yet don't show up as staff on the Userlist [01:10:35]  Guess the userlist has been modified for that [01:10:54]  My modifications have always accepted both [01:12:27]  vanilla userlist should show any strings, even if not valid flags, no? [01:13:07]  Dev server... no clue what modifications the techs have done to make the staff flag work. [01:20:05]  Wow... Speciallistusers.php is strange... [01:24:46]  SpecialListusers.php was hacked... but they never thought of hacking User.php [01:33:03] Dantman|FS is shedding tears... [01:33:08]  techs are mean... [01:33:26]  oh, now what [01:33:34]  did you think they were lollypops and gum? [01:33:44]  extensions/wikia/GetFamily/GetFamily.php [01:34:08] <Dantman|FS> T_T they had an extension to create a Pywikipediabot family for a wiki... and never shared it... [01:34:45] <Dantman|FS> I've been telling users how to set one up and doing it myself all this time, while there was a special page right there setup to create it... [01:35:07] Splarka draws you a picture of a 4 way intersection, at the center: $100 bill, down each of 4 roads one each of: a super nice sweet non-hacky and well paid mediawiki tech, a bitter hacky underpaid overworked underfed overcaffinated half-sleeping mediawiki tech, santa, and the easter bunny [01:35:11] <Splarka> which one gets the $100 first? [01:36:24] <Algo> me [01:36:36] <Dantman|FS> noone! [01:36:39] <Splarka> correct [01:36:52] <Splarka> and why does Algo, the bitter hacky underpaid overworked underfed overcaffinated half-sleeping mediawiki tech, get the money first? [01:37:10] <Splarka> because the other 3 are figments of your F***ing imagination [01:37:20] <Splarka> -Chasing Amy [01:37:39] <Algo> and here I thought it was cuz I typed "me" [01:49:18] <Dantman|FS> Hmmm... time to give up... [01:58:50] <Dantman|FS> Just because jack missed it........ Time for log diving... [02:16:46] <Jack_Phoenix> heh, funny log, Dantman :] [02:16:56] <Jack_Phoenix> (FYI, the techs are always mean. ;) [02:17:31] <Dantman|FS> T_T I still can't figure out how the hell the staff flag works... [02:18:19] <Dantman|FS> They hacked SpecialListusers.php, but never hacked User.php even though it's the simplest, and easiest method they could ever come up with. [02:18:31] <Ace_NoOne> Dantman: staff flag > flag staff ? [02:19:15] <Dantman|FS> No... Dantman + Wikia Staff flag > Dantman + JackPhoenix.com staff flag...] [02:19:24] <Jack_Phoenix> lol [02:20:02] <Ace_NoOne> :o you dissin' me Jackster? [02:21:03] <Manticore> "There are three leading causes of death among users. They are all developers." - LMAO [02:21:26] <Jack_Phoenix> heh [02:22:27] <Dantman|FS> .\/. the 4th and 5th are volunteer techs... Buahahaha... [02:23:10] <Dantman|FS> O_o... waitasecond... GFDL violation anyone? [02:23:27] <Dantman|FS> The dev server is a clone of Internal [02:23:43] <Dantman|FS> Yet it's under CC-BY-SA instead of GFDL [02:23:54] <Dantman|FS> inside* [02:24:01] <Ace_NoOne> don't be a license nazi ;P [02:24:05] <Dantman|FS> lol [02:24:24] <Jack_Phoenix> lol [02:30:27] <Splarka> Dantman: so, what exactly is confusing about the staff flag? [02:30:40] <Dantman|FS> How the hell they got it to work... [02:30:43] <Splarka> do you mean on Wikia or, elsewhere? [02:30:49] <Dantman|FS> On Wikia [02:30:57] <Splarka> okay, by 'work', what do you mean? [02:31:02] <Dantman|FS> I've been browsing the code [02:31:20] <Splarka> be set globally, give such users the right to do anything, or make them super sexy? [02:31:27] <Jack_Phoenix> lol [02:31:42] <Splarka> if "be set globally": database insertion script [02:31:45] <Dantman|FS> There is no hack to User.php, or any extension coded to grab groups from a shared database [02:31:56] <Splarka> it isn't shared [02:31:59] <Splarka> it is set on every wiki [02:32:00] <Dantman|FS> Gack... [02:32:04] <Jack_Phoenix> ... [02:32:07] <Jack_Phoenix> you didn't know that? [02:32:09] <Jack_Phoenix> o_O [02:32:17] <Dantman|FS> Icky [02:32:18] <Splarka> we have no shared user rights [02:32:22] Splarka shrugs [02:32:27] <Splarka> that would require hacking User.php ^_^ [02:32:37] <Dantman|FS> They hacked SpecialListusers.php [02:32:50] <Splarka> in what way? to filter out non-editors? [02:32:59] <Splarka> the staff flag shouldn't need any hacking to it [02:33:07] <Splarka> in fact, we often have problems with the staff flag [02:33:14] <Splarka> central lost the whole comteam's staff flags recently [02:33:18] <Jack_Phoenix> yeah... [02:33:20] <Splarka> we had to find Yukichi to re-staff us [02:33:22] <Dantman|FS> That would probably because of the database insertion script [02:33:35] <Dantman|FS> Why do you think I use semi-shared permissions? [02:33:35] Jack_Phoenix thinks someone should the staff flag [02:33:45] <Splarka> how is it broken, Jack? [02:33:50] <Jack_Phoenix> well [02:33:53] <Splarka> the other viable option is to do like meta [02:33:57] <Jack_Phoenix> if it wasn't broken [02:33:58] <Splarka> and allow remote-rights assignment [02:34:10] <Splarka> but we'd then have to sysop ourself on a wiki to delete spam, etc [02:34:12] <Ace_NoOne> lol [02:34:15] <Splarka> and janitors would be SOL [02:34:20] <Jack_Phoenix> the com team wouldn't lose their staff flag every now and then [02:34:33] <Splarka> we'll live [02:51:10] <Splarka> Dantman: do you have the associated rights? [02:51:15] <Dantman|FS> yup [02:51:21] <Dantman|FS> Userrigts and everything [02:51:24] <Dantman|FS> And... [02:51:30] <Splarka> should show then [02:51:39] <Dantman|FS> It even lists me as staff when I look at my own userrights [02:51:54] <Dantman|FS> But on a recent discovery I don't think this is 'my' staff flag... [02:52:03] <Splarka> how about Special:Listusers/staff ? [02:52:07] <Dantman|FS> I never staffed the staffers: http://fp001.development.wikia-inc.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page= [02:58:34] <Dantman|FS> O_O I figured it out... [02:58:45] <Dantman|FS> I know why I have a staff flag... [02:58:52] <Dantman|FS> And why things are strange... [02:59:23] <Dantman|FS> It's quite evil... [03:00:03] <Jack_Phoenix> (insert bad Wikia, Inc. joke here) [03:00:07] <Dantman|FS> I... Am... Angela ... Buahahahaha... [03:00:15] <Afker> !!! [03:00:26] Dantman|FS laughs meniachally [03:00:27] Afker shudders [03:00:33] Afker sends Dantman|FS to Taiwan [03:00:39] Afker shoots the plane [03:01:06] <Afker> no wonder we haven't seen Angela in the channel much for the past few months [03:01:13] <Dantman|FS> rofl [03:01:49] <Dantman|FS> Ah... [03:01:53] <Splarka> I didn't wanna tell ya straight out [03:02:06] <Splarka> the psychiatrists said it was best for you to figure it for yourself [03:02:14] <Dantman|FS> lol [03:02:18] <Jack_Phoenix> rofl [03:02:22] <Splarka> Tim misses you [03:02:25] <Dantman|FS> lol [03:02:35] <Splarka> so, you're userID 1? [03:02:39] <Dantman|FS> Nope 2 [03:02:46] <Jack_Phoenix> Splarka: Jason is 1, IIRC [03:02:47] <Splarka> ahh, so it is another bug [03:02:57] <Splarka> with unshared userDB but shared user rights [03:03:03] <Splarka> or some such magic [03:03:22] <Dantman|FS> The userDb is local... the rights are local... [03:03:35] <Dantman|FS> But Userlist was hacked and because of that it's listing shared data [03:03:43] <Splarka> ahh [03:04:20] <Dantman|FS> And because of that strange DB insertion script... I have every power that Angela has on that wiki.
