Ouch, having to uninstall and reinstall apps is harsh. :-(

Thank you! I've started this process (they say it will take some time). I have no idea how they verify that the account holder is making the request, but I have access to his iCloud password, email, and phone, all gates I had to pass through in order to make the request in the first place, so here'...

I wouldn't have thought of Selenium (which I've heard of but not used), so thanks for that. (And yes, I'm self-hosting, so I don't need to worry about angry admins.) (more) |

I'll edit to clarify. I'm not asking for help on the scripting part; in fact, I've already transformed that spreadsheet into suitable blocks of markdown source. I'm just asking about the DokuWiki side of actually getting those pages (with the needed metadata) into the wiki. (more) |

This is great, thank you! I've just installed this using TamperMonkey and it works as advertised. (more) |

I need to learn how to use `git bisect`, now that you mention it... (Though this particular bug might be easier to find through code inspection than through testing. Not sure, but it's kind of a weird one.) (more) |

I found `git` questions both here and there, and this felt like more of a "user" question than a "programmer" question to me. (I mean, I use git to back my blog, too... but that's not the repo with the bug I'm trying to find, to be fair.) It would fit fine on either community, I think. (more) |

Ah! Thanks. I don't need a GUI; a URL that I can construct is enough of a UI. (Feel free to write an answer. :-) )

Good idea! We gave mods the ability to grant individual abilities so that y'all can override what's in the code (or, in this case, not yet in the code). I'm sorry we haven't implemented tag wiki reviews yet (which blocks this). (more) |

Does pull work? You ask at the end about making all remote operations work, but I can't tell from the question if anything other than push failed. And has this failed in multiple repositories? (Just trying to isolate the problem. You've probably tried all this already.) (more) |

Today I learned about markdown mode. Thanks! I've been doing this by defining a keyboard macro ('> ', ctrl-n, ctrl-a), which is more of a hassle. (more) |

Anything interesting showing up in your device drivers? It sounds like something is intercepting it, perhaps based on some property of the newer camera that the older one doesn't have. That's just a guess. (more) |

@#53696 did you mark this answer "outdated" because you changed the question after it was posted to something that no longer fits? Editing a question to invalidate answers is bad form; going on to mark answers as "outdated" because of the edit is *really* bad form. (more) |

Voice would be less bad than direct touch, but automation would still be better. (The issue is avoiding computer use (and other electronics) on Shabbat.) The cat would be better too, but cats aren't known for doing what you want them to do. :-)

There's nothing dangerous about this. Please don't use that reaction for answers you don't like. If you don't think it answers your question, you can downvote or leave a comment explaining what you think is missing. (more) |

This worked for me (with server name redacted):
div[aria-label="Servers"] div div div[data-dnd-name="redacted"] svg path { visibility: hidden;}
I kind of pieced things together from several answers here. Thanks! (more) |

| Comment | Post #285272 |
Oh, I see -- I have to apply `visibility: hidden` to the `path`, not to the `svg` itself. I guess the controls are attached to the SVG somehow? (more) |

When I came back to my Discord tab later, I couldn't reach that server at all -- clicking on the empty space didn't take me there. I can disable the style override, go to the server, and re-enable it, but that's not ideal. Hmm. (more) |

Adding the following to Stylus for discord.com worked for me:
div[aria-label="Servers"] div div div[data-dnd-name="(server name)"] svg {visibility: hidden; }
Where "(server name)" is the name of the server that I elided here. (more) |

| Comment | Post #285272 |
Thanks; I'll give this a try. I thought I had included enough; I blacked out the specific server name because I didn't want to start any server-specific drama, but the name under that black-out is unique, so it seems like I can key off of that. I just didn't know how, so thanks! (more) |

A containing `div` (two layers up) has a `data-dnd-name` attribute that is the name of the server. Is there a way to select that and then change the visibility of the `svg` nested inside that? (more) |

Thanks for the heads-up about Chrome. If my extensions stop working then that'll get me to change browsers. (Maybe I should anyway.

I installed Ublock Origin and entered that as the filter (with `discord.com` as the URL), but it didn't have any effect. Then I noticed, while combining this answer with the other one and trying through Stylus, that *all* the icons use the same `svg-1X37T1` class. Any idea how to target just one of... (more) |

| Comment | Post #285269 |
I tried using `visibility: hidden` with `.svg-1X37T1` as the selector (based on the other answer). It turns out *all* the icons have that class, so that hid all of them. So we've confirmed that changing the visibility is the right action, but I'm stuck on writing a selector that picks *this* one ou... (more) |

Each community has two mods, one of whom is a mod on both. As far as I'm concerned, if the communities merge, all of them can still be mods on the combined community if they want to be. Three isn't an unreasonable number of mods to have. (more) |

I copied everything from the old system to the new one. The Yellow "installation" is just a ZIP file that you unpack.
It turns out I had some wrong assumptions (and a little faulty memory) and I need to approach what I'm trying to do differently. I plan to explain in an answer. (more) |

Apparently the static site doesn't support search or contact pages; what's changed isn't the behavior but that I'm now getting error messages about it where I didn't before. Huh. But I've also learned that I can run Yellow on the web server as a CMS, instead of generating a static site, so I'm goin... (more) |

Thanks for the report. I need to get help from someone with database access to investigate. We've seen this sort of problem occasionally, but in the past it was on posts that were imported or where now-deleted users were involved, neither of which is the case here. (more) |

Those `<br/>`s in the output here made me wonder if this is happening when it's trying to build the sidebar, but the contact link doesn't appear in the sidebar and the output here is in the wrong order (search is at the top of the sidebar, not after recent posts), so I don't know what those `<br>`s m...

Thanks for this suggestion. I installed Lulu and was able to configure it to always block the problematic application.

I'll be interested in what you find. I force all my email to plain text because too much marked-up email poses accessibility problems for me (and also because it solves images and JS for free), but it's a blunt instrument. If you find something useful I look forward to reading your answer. (more) |

Yeah, I questioned whether the router could block it. That would require that some sort of client ID (for the specific application) be baked into the request, and while I'm not familiar with the details of TCP/IP, I don't think that's how it works. (more) |

Thanks for this answer. I hadn't thought to look at the firewall when trying to figure out how to disconnect without resorting to the cable.

Oh wow, I didn't think of that! Disconnecting from the network allows the program to start.

Yeah, fixing that is on the to-do list. When we started we thought there'd be a lot more data import; we've now learned that bulk imports are a bad idea.
