Periodic priv tidy
Mar. 7th, 2026 10:21 amNoting here for posterity that I'm doing another of my "whenever I remember to do it" sweeps of all privs that have been granted, to remove privs from people who aren't currently actively volunteering with the thing that needs that priv. If I accidentally yanked something someone is using (the interface is hella janky and I would not be surprised if I do accidentally at least once), just holler and I'll add it back! Likewise, if you're still doing one thing but have privs for another thing you aren't using, you can let me know by replying here so I can remove those too.
We thank everyone for their time and help, and anyone who's had privs removed, you are welcome back any time you'd like! We operate on a "principle of least access" basis for privs for security reasons, but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate everything folks do, even if you're limited by that mythical land called "real life". ❤️

Jan. 5th, 2026 05:59 pmThe Arctic vortex thingy must be out in force today. Snow's falling here, which hasn't happened in December or early January (despite it being winter here) in... I think decades, maybe 30 years or so.
ETA: how's everyone else?

Going (elsewhere) to the wiki!
Jun. 23rd, 2025 09:48 pmKeeping MediaWiki secure, not overrun by spammers, and not regularly falling over has gotten to be too much of a burden and the antispam steps we've had to take have made it difficult for people to log in and use it for quite some time, so we have officially thrown in the towel and outsourced the problem. Everything that was found on the wiki can now be found in its new location:
https://github.com/dreamwidth/dreamwidth/wiki
If you spot references to the old location in places we control, please let us know! We'll get it cleaned up over time.

Jun. 13th, 2025 10:56 pmI'm listening to thunder rumbling in the distance, and hoping the thunderstorms forecasted for tonight will bring the temperature down from today's mid-30s Celsius.
