ben_vulpes: sina: sensible thing to do is make a genesis of your shit, stand up an
mp-wp and post it on your blog
☟︎ mircea_popescu: also, it sohuld be noted, i dun have same problem with...
mp-wp mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notice trilema doesn't suffer from same problem ; read
mp-wp ; live happily ever after.
danielpbarron: biggest hurdle is getting my hands on a copy of
mp-wp Framedragger: (though i'm sure
mp-wp is on the whole ~decent in terms of holes/security.)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i see what you mean, but you can't really call it 'static' by any metric. in point of fact i'm surprised you're not grossed out over the fact that the whole thing is a large stinking pile of dynamic php. i guess the counterargument is that it *gets the job done*, very well, over many years. :) so there's that. but i'd like to ditch the 'wp' from '
mp-wp' one day. but maybe baby steps.
shinohai mysql is the reason shinohai ..... has procrastinated with
mp-wp mircea_popescu: Framedragger thinking about it, the ~only correct solution is for the
mp-wp maintainer to remove mysql in favour of a flatfile "db" system. then it will be properly static, or as close as its job allows.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Are you still playing with
mp-wp?
ben_vulpes: fwiw i thought long and hard about this and ultimately migrated to
mp-wp.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: for a few days now, i think he's waiting for me to cough a
mp-wp up
mircea_popescu: i dunno. in truth the maintenance of
mp-wp is a bit in the air right now ; but if you want to make a patch by all means.
danielpbarron: oh, from who can I get a copy of
mp-wp ? my blog box seems to have crapped out once and for all. figure it's a good excuse to migrate to something better
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 22:14 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what's the
mp-wp blessed method for a custom root page? i've tried writing a front-page.php (which
mp-wp didn't eat, suggesting that front-page.php was a post 2.7 introduction? their documentation doesn't do time travel, so the archaeology is tough); and twiddling home.php (but i can't get home.php to behave conditionally depending on whether it's the site root)

ACTUALLY scales. specifically, if at any point in his own time and for any reason in ~his own domain~ taleb wants to get more control, he can. he actually can. you explain to him, when he asks, HOW to be more in control of his
mp-wp install. in terms of configuring the php script, or in terms of configuring the apache server, or in terms of configuri

mp-wp unfortunately)..)

☟︎ ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: have you ever wrestled with
mp-wp stripping '.' characters from uploaded filenames when there's more than one?
phf: it didn't but even
mp-wp has a bunch of admin interface images. magnifying glass, scissors, that sort of stuff
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: huh. i thought
mp-wp woulda had that setting. my second comment on that first article went through unimpeded.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, if anyone wants to check how wordpress does latex formatting and roll a
mp-wp plugin / v update for it that'd be grand. in typical faux open source style, they're remarkably unhelpful with it (see
https://en.support.wordpress.com/latex/ )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it wouldn't need to alter it however. afaik
mp-wp doesn't either ; handles redirects itself like a grown-up system ??
mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160920/#143 << i have no idea ;
mp-wp would handle it automatically (in the sense that i can at any time / for any reason change url, old one gets redir to new one ; and also can switch from ?p= to proper title url seamlessly). no idea however about alf-wp
phf: from now on i'm working on
mp-wp, full time, a shell of a man. you can point newcomers at an old shambling figure, "that's phf. he's tending our flower bed"
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-15: [17:37:23] <ben_vulpes> mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo, pete_dushenski: recommendations for wp footnote plugin? footnotes-in-footnotes would be a grand feature if any can do that and it's not a
mp-wp-footnotes custom job
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-15: [20:30:04] <ben_vulpes>
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-15#1542439 << so i've done my own digging and asked a few others to dig as well, and i can't figure out what "the code" i'm supposed to have is. grepping for 'footnote' turns up zilch in my copy of
mp-wp. throw me a bone here?

ben_vulpes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-10#1538902 << you'll probably find this as useful as any other rodent carcass left on your pillow, but over the last 2 months i've racked my own metal, migrated out of virtualization to the new box, ported my blog to
mp-wp, and stood the obvious tmsr services up on the new box (blog, paster, node). it doesn't look like much from the outside, but paying down debt of necessity
☝︎ ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: my
mp-wp is leaking pingbacks
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's a
mp-wp ancient script thing shinohai was massaging.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
mp-wp did not exist in 1990s ; nor did lamp.
mircea_popescu: one
mp-wp to rule them all and in the darkness diddle them or how did that go.
shinohai: the
mp-wp rss feed worked out of box for me
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: oh pish and tosh. the only thing i threw out while banging on
mp-wp was the comment time-sensitivity, and i even got around to fixing that.
ben_vulpes: eeeeeentirely unrelatedly, mircea_popescu is there a way to set post slugs in
mp-wp?
ben_vulpes: shinohai: did you ever get
mp-wp running and fit for sharting around?
ben_vulpes: phf: did you ever release the original sources to which your
mp-wp patches apply? i scanned a few days of logs and didn't see anything other than the wp-content and a few patches.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: can i get a re-link to
mp-wp.tar.gz?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 07:59 ben_vulpes: the prefuckingcise reason i am not making the investment in
mp-wp at this moment is because i am paying a debt on the virtualization tool choise.

☟︎ ben_vulpes: anyways i have several mega housekeeping chores in between here and trying
mp-wp for myself.
mircea_popescu: so i guess you can have a fat 8 lines of buttons in the
mp-wp thing ; and i'll continue to type tags in directly.
mircea_popescu: wp (at least,
mp-wp) will forever 304 the old requests to the new
mircea_popescu: incidentally : someone writing a tex processor for serenity (ex
mp-wp) themes that shinohai can then just import as a standard would be pretty epic.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: And no, qntra theme has not yet been tested with
mp-wp. Runs own wp fork.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ironically, if your original is from 2007,
mp-wp should work with your theme out of the box.
mircea_popescu: (large part of why
mp-wp is useful is exactly this : all knobs already set correctly, unroll and gtg.)
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 02:07 mircea_popescu: phf there's two main points of the split between
mp-wp and automattic-wp. one is that i shot the akismet idiocy in the head (
mp-wp antispam system works way the fuck better, and doesn't you know, run arbitrary code from the automattic equivalent of disqus, shambling abominable horror of untold proportions).
