Aquamarine: fix outdated information

haii, i'm aqua! i'm quickly editing this page because it contains a lot of outdated information that doesn't reflect me anymore

i do a lot of programming stuff, none of it professional or even 'good' or 'useful' but it's fun enough i guess

i also do chiptune and electronic music as a commission job, in addition to meteorology, and sometimes a bit of art when i've got spare time, but i'm not very good at them.

Slow Computing Speedrunning

Aquamarine: Fix broken link

Welcome to the Slow Computing any% Speedrunning Contest; also known as watching digital paint dry.

The goal of this contest is simple. To celebrate the long code [https://xkcd.com/303/] times, we're running an informal contest to celebrate this era of batch processing.

== Objective and Rules ==

It's pretty simple:
* Using any vintage computer of your choice, perform a longrunning task of some sort
* Livestream, or otherwise provide regular status updates that show how far you have gotten.
* Emulators and the like are A-OK; just let us know what its doing.

After each run, success or failure, our judges (which is mostly just the regulars in #paint-drying on [http://discord.gg/V8esNah Discord]) will deem what, if any titles such run has earned, and an entirely subjective place on the Wall of Pain. There are absolutely no prizes besides the knowledge that you might be immortalized here for the life of the wiki.

Do you dare step up.

=== Examples of projects ===
For example, upgrading through every version of OS/2, building GCC, or the like. Livestream or otherwise regularly update the panting drying competition community. For NCommander's ur entries, VoDs on YouTube were provided. Europa livestreamed the terminal on Discord throughout the duration. Any sorta long running log with regular updates is acceptable.

= The Wall of Pain =
New categories will be added as needed

== Idle Pain ==
Idle pain refers to tasks where they're started

=== GCC 8 on an Ultra 5 running OpenBSD/sparc64 (Europa) ===
* '''Status:''': Ongoing
* '''Duration:''' 3+ days (ongoing)
* '''Proof''': Livestreamed on Discord
* '''Comments''':
** The build that started it all, Europa's attempt to install CDE which required upgrading GCC, and starting a multiday build process that lead to the creation of the paint drying community ... I'm still wondering how we got here - [[User:NCommander|NCommander]] ([[User talk:NCommander|talk]]) 14:54, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

== Active Pain ==
Active Pain is livestreams or single duration projects done. They can be over multiple sessions, with time being tallied up.

=== Upgrading Through Every Version of OS/2 (NCommander) ===
* '''Status''': Complete/Historical
*.'''Proof''': VoDs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeaRlhz96mI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uwGTHZzzF4
* '''Duration''': Approximately 22 Hours
* '''Comments''':

Project:Permissions

2022-09-02T18:48:46Z

Aquamarine: Create Project:Permissions, and add instructions for fully setting up a user as well as descriptions on what every group/permission does.

This article is dedicated to helping new users understand how to set up a user account and how the different permissions work in this wiki.

== Setting up a new user account ==
Currently, this wiki requires users to create or login to their account to create or edit pages, which is why most users would want to make an account here.

=== Creating the account ===
# Go to the underlined text that says "Create account" or the text that says "Log in".
# If you clicked "Create account", simply fill out the required boxes with the relevant information, and fill out the optional boxes if you wish. If you clicked "Log in", click "Join DisNCord community wiki" and then fill out the steps above.
# After this, fill out the bot protection at the bottom, and click "Create account".

You now have an account, and should automatically be logged into it.

=== Verifying your email address ===
Note: You only need to do this step if you have specified an email when you were creating your account.

# Check the inbox of the email address you specififed.
# You should have an email from 'noreply@restless.systems' asking if it was you who added your email to the account you made.
# Click the first link on the page, as it will tell the server that it was you who added your email to that account.

Your account should now be fully activated and ready for use.

== User permissions ==

There are several different "groups" that are in this server that give you various permissions in the wiki.

'''Administrators''':
These are users which are in charge of moderation and general upkeep of the wiki. Some bots are also in this group as they need admin features to do their task(s).

'''Bots''':
These are robots that are designed for automatic monitoring of the wiki, among other things. Currently, there are only 2 bots: 'Abuse filter' and '⧼abusefilter-blocker⧽'.

'''Bureaucrats''':
These are users that can set permissions for other users. Administrators will usually have this.

'''Check user''':
These users have the ability to see the IP logs on the wiki.

'''Interface administrator''':
Interface administrators can change the CSS and JS of the wiki. These users are considered administrators.

'''Suppressors''':
These users have the ability to hide or delete unwanted log entries.

'''uploadaccess''':
These are users which have the ability to upload images to this wiki using [[Special:Upload|this link]]. You can request this permission by DMing NCommander on Discord.

You can find a list of users that have a specified group [[Special:ListUsers|here]].
