Sorry! 🙁
Something has also happened to the links in your post as well. HaS BP released gremlins upon us all?
Well, since things are nice and broken, may we go right ahead and activate Twenty Twenty Four and ditch the current?

[DeVaultSetter]

Crikey, the avatar too? Re-activated!
This is not turning out duck soup after all, the likes of which seems to be hitting the ceiling before it gets to the bowls!
Get’s worse, as all our recent discussions in all-things-site-and-organizational are locked out, and it shows stuff back in April – July 2023.

Well in light of these revelations, let’s feast upon a new issue:
https://github.com/buddypress/bp-classic/issues/34

[DeVaultSetter]

Turned it on, for no other purpose than to see if it works.
Right now it’s using the personal stearnvault email, we could consider walrusramblings email down the track given your permission- and whether that is at all practical – or even create another mailbox for the job.

[DeVaultSetter]

Marsh mud – that’s definitely the basis for 100% proof swamp juice!
Working now, strangely, after de-activating BP and leaving classic up. Do things look okay now?
Wait: it’s showing the oldest posts in page 2, it might be fine, but opposite to how it is in the public forums.

Go for it! 🙂
After putting my foot in it over there, now it has to be a BP bug, or it’s not just a mongoose award but a wrong-goose award for bug reporting.
Since we all know whose goose is cooked, it’s a rather pleasant thought then, to cook and eat pheasants, only after they have been plucked:

Didn’t happen here, but there are definitely no notifications of new posts any more, related.
How about giant rats setting traps for unsuspecting human visitors? All in good fun of course, when all is revealed after the rat costumes are removed.
All you need for the contorted furniture is a good 3D printer – hey what about a cupboard that can turn itself inside out? 🙂
Fantastic, and for extra boost, (magnetic) steel brush hairs on the broom, which, for extra directional precision could be operated by a joystick on the other end of the broom. Agree about magnetic metals on the person, especially those with steel prosthetics, detectable of course by a smart AI interface on the broom!

From the emails:

broken pages in
https://stearnvault.com/groups/administrators/forum
It never gets to page two:
https://stearnvault.com/groups/administrators/forum/page/2/
Where the recent postings are not accessible – like the following:

Actually, it turns out BBPress is not ready for BuddyPress 12.0. See various recent issues:
https://buddypress.org/support/search/bbpress/
The suggestion is to revert to BP Classic, what do you think?

Something totally non-organizational: there is no fathoming the current purpose of the WP install in OldSite at all. From memory, it was created because of an issue back at iiNet with the SSL cert and not getting subdirectory listings with the .htaccess file resident in the subdirectories. Might have been a result of not clearing browser cache after installing SSL for stearnvault.com initially.
All redirections and links now seem to work if the .htaccess file in OldSite directory is removed. If no objections, will remove the database and WP files soon. 🙂

Cool! Do you receive Boing Boing’s Newsletter? Would be nice if they had archived versions of it just in case new subscribers missed anything – and – should one worry too much re Mailchimp?
What about governments of the world getting together with the manufacture and distribution of Hogwarts brooms and mounts to aid in the cleanup of the world’s refuse? Has the potential at least of a fun idea, given the right marketing approach, even if mfg promises on equipment functionality turn out in practice to be completely sham. 😛

On the rainy day watchlist, a handy thing to have in case of the regular watchlist going all sparse of a sudden, unlikely right now as the favourite FTA channel is offering plenty of “new” content. Like this one, Don’t Look Now with Donald Sutherland. The stories by Daphne Du Maurier were very trendy back in the day, this one even gets a mention with the “Daphne Du Maurier midget” in Absolutely Fabulous mentioned in this fine article.
Getting 0% on Rotten Tomatoes is reserved only for a select few of movies, including the FTA re-occurrence last night of Death Wish V: The Face of Death. The agonisingly loud and gruesome ends of the villains not being enough to sway the critics, the director who “attempted to insert humor and black comedy elements” gets another gong as there were none to be had.
The Nutcracker in 3D might provide visuals to the CD, with a bonus one in a million chance that at least one of the scenes in the movie will synchronise with the appropriate subject matter on the CD. And the additional bonus prize of identifying at least one redeeming feature of the movie to lift it off 0%. Good luck with that! 😛

Good to know, the study itself is some years back, yet the 18/12/2023 youtube video has clocked up millions in the first day or so. Wow.
Do appreciate his use of Shutterstock for the image, most bloggers tend to avoid printing the attribution, as to some readers, it may come off as detracting from the message of the article. From the bloggers perspective, (including mine), those readers turn out to be nothing more than a bunch of wankers! 😛
Looks like there are plenty of mods out for the Steam version, seems the teething problems for the PC have been dealt with some. 🙂

Rootsweb is going down the gurgler, Ancestry is just too big, for no more reason than having gobbled up RW and others. It does a have a good search, mind you, the best bits therewith unlocked after coins have been inserted in the slot. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Missed that one, so a few good laughs in it is worth a watch. 🙂
Licence to Kill starts off by kicking the rather worn looking plot down the road with gusto, and makes like a standard C grade action film for the first 30 minutes at least. Does improve a bit, and some of the stunts are fabulous:

[DeVaultSetter]

🙂 Give my love to mom, and yes, he rattles that nutcracker rather well, and those demonic mice looming before our hero will make for someone’s desktop wallpaper for sure. Was wondering if the mouse king ever have some of his seven heads chopped off as well.
Winter storms – is it getting colder now?

Full backup performed, funny that once started, refreshing the page with the following:

Full Backup in Progress …

Once the full backup of your account has been completed, you will receive an email at the address you specified, “ lm******@bi*****.com ”.

The backup is repeated.
And no notification was received when using the stearnvault email. Think when restoring, extract everything out except the databases which have to be restored via phpMyAdmin.
Yes, reach for the big button marked “GO”. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Although PG might be hiding a shiver or three, methinks the feet are well covered. 🙂
Watched Valérian et la Cité des mille planètes (excuse the French) the other night.

Should we ever mention that word “uneven”, some spectacular visuals, the basic plot line worked, but wanted beefing up, ditto for the leads, enjoyable enough not to turn it off half way through, as one might in the case of something really spectacular showing on the other FTA channels. These days, not a chance. 😛
The demise and crash of the large alien spacecraft – which precipitated the events of the movie – was done in a rather hurried fashion, so we’ll never know who the aliens were, the name/description of the ship, or how it could have destroyed an entire planet the way it did. Oh well.

Anyway, back to comics, the movie was of course inspired by the well known and long running Valérian and Laureline sci-fi series from the sixties. So well known in fact, never got to read it. 😛
An obit for the artist is at downthetubes, and did you know any of the ten things Star Wars “borrowed” from the comic? The Peter Cushing likeness is – well – rather close. 😛

Logged in today to … Akamai, things look okay, even though the Account is disabled for me, fairly positive one could view the issue history back in the day, as now the only issues current are the ones regarding the migration.
The forum contributions are fast aging, yet in secure preservation, particularly those from one by the name of grainy_lettuce! 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Funny thing about this, we say nothing if things are fine, and become very loud if they are not.
Yep, video drivers updates used to be weird, MS preferred to handle them “automatically”, the video driver folk were always wont find something to complain about WU, and in many cases, justifiably so. Things have settled somewhat since then. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Tried a LiteSpeed modification, the above would work for a local setup, as corrected at BBPress.

Who wouldn’t climb many a mountain to see Benny Hill? There are plenty of memories of the show, this compilation came up first in Google.
The Phantom was on FTA tonight, it somehow doesn’t warrant a second viewing, notwithstanding it’s been that long, and the movie flunks out in a rather fun way.
On Portlandia, there’s a diagnosis of Early Onset Grumpiness:

Oh, and plugs and things for Outlets, bring them on, plug them in and let them out, as long as they aren’t too short!

Put a bird on the rest of ’em:
