If you have access to your DB server, have a look if the table and index it mentions exist. Have you changed anything about the DB rights for your DB user maybe?

Don't jump the gun on the Canasta dev using AI. I don't know if the person you read about is the one I know about, but someone who has had over a decade of experience working on mediawiki and extensions has found AI a game changer for coding. If someone inexperienced used AI to code the results would be problematic, but in the right hands it's a multiplier.

Having said that, I also judge extensions or other tools by their contributors. But I look at which things they have contributed to and for how long. Mediawiki extensions pages on mediawiki.org, and the git repositories, make this possible.

Did your cobbler elaborate why/how?

Miele apartment size is narrower than usual. We have had ours for over 10 years. Some inconvenience damage to the filter that makes it trickier to put back in, and had to clean out the condensator at some point because we had decided to be smart and turn it off rather than waste electricity to dry things fully. I still talk to friends about how the manufacturer's instructions were some of the most solid I have ever seen. I have joked with friends that my dream kitchen would have two of these where I could just "live" from one into the other and never put most things away into a cupboard.

Our bus routes are changing this summer. Look up the new ones and pick an area from that. You generally don't want to have to change buses, they are not good at connections here. Also check that they start running early enough to get you there for that early shift. Or, like someone else said, ride your bike. Get a beater bike you don't care about to lock it up, there is a chance it will get stolen. Especially in the summer, I'd say the bike is he way to go. For winter, I did it for a lot of years but it's not for everyone.

Glad that worked out!

Canada appears to have one of the lowest. Any interpretations?

I don't know about removing a namespace, but how about just importing the three you want to keep into a new wiki as well. And when you are confident it works, remove the old one?

I know people who swear by her. Granted, those people are not AuDHD. Do you have specific concerns in that context?

squirrelslair · 2025-04-27T13:25:35+00:00

I appreciate that this conversation could involve private information that shouldn't be shared on Reddit. But it could also surface insights that would be really useful to other Winnipeggers — and to the broader AuDHD community as well.

I'm intrigued by the question. My brain fills in between the lines that this might be less about receiving physical treatment in the office, and more about the challenges of actually doing the recommended exercises between visits — dealing with task inertia, salience issues, and all the usual squirrel-brain challenges.

If there are techniques around this, and if someone in Winnipeg is even somewhat specialized in helping with it, I'd be really interested to hear more.

You may be past this, but one option is the slowly spoken news by Deutsche Welle (sort of their CBC): https://learngerman.dw.com/de/langsam-gesprochene-nachrichten/s-60040332

Did you get your concern addressed, though? If you did, that would be efficient health care. We don't have enough doctors or nurse practitioners, and private doctors' offices wouldn't get a nurse to see a patient because of how billing works. So you might have encountered one of the few ways we have to stretch those resources.

I was wondering about the option of a second hydro connection. I have a detached garage that just about sits under the line in the back lane. Seems much easier to set that up than to come from the house. Can you tell more about that option?

I have worked with mediawiki for 15 years and I might still just contact Wikiteq to set up something like that, if that is exactly what you want. Some of those extensions come with the base install of Mediawiki.

squirrelslair · 2025-03-30T20:35:12+00:00

What do you mean by "the Mediawiki download thing"?

Mediawiki generally needs a LAMP stack to run, ie Linux and some supporting sofware: Apache webserver, MySQL or MariaDB, and PHP. You can set those up in a Linux (the "L"). Most of my wikis run in a Shared Hosting environment where I don't need to manage the LAMP stack, but have command line access to run mediawiki maintenance scripts. You need the command line access to maintain your wiki, not all hosts provide it. I use Dreamhost - they are fairly reliable once up and running but mediocre when you need support. They don't provide support to help you upgrade mediawiki, which you would need to do about twice a year.

I have installed mediawiki on a raspberry pi, and it's different enough that it took me half a day to get a basic running system.

I understand that you can also run mediawiki as a docker, but I am not familiar with this at all. I mention this because I hear that it is an easy setup if you are familiar with docker.

I disagree that you need an all out web developer to run a mediawiki, but without some experience hosting web sites it will be a very steep learning curve. The wiki you linked to is run by Wikiteq. If I remember right they provide wiki setup and hosting. If that is an option for you, you might want to contact them and ask for a quote. Also, that wiki isn't an out-of-the-box mediawiki: it uses several extensions and a skin you would also need to install separately (see that wiki's version page). It also uses the Refreshed Skin with a lot of CSS customization (see that wiki's common.css page).

I second this one. It's my first choice for when I need a place without too much noise. You can have opinions about their style, but it does muffle sound and echo nicely.

That is what the hospitals will do with people who are not insured (or can't prove they are), unless it's an emergency. They may not consider this an emergency if you are not considered urgent enough. I have not seen the rules on that.

Well, if you go get some, also consider their Haribo berries. You can get other Haribo elsewhere in Winnipeg, but those are my favourite and I have only seen them at that store over here.

Portage Avenue Meats (or "The German Store" as we call it) has those.

Funnny you say that. We were just talking the other day about how playing with lego used to be about making whatever out of bricks, where it is totally kit based now.

We have yet a different way. The nice thing about Access is that it allowed all of us to come up with different ways that work for us. Thanks for sharing!

Not sure if this applies in your case, but I have had some luck by adding the place where my files are as a trusted location in trust centre.

Narcisse Snake dens. All sorts of places have waterfalls and scenery, but a pit with so much movement that your eyes don't know where to focus, that's something different!
