:::[[User:Spaak|Spaak]] ([[User talk:Spaak|talk]]) 05:04, 4 September 2013 (CEST) Thanks and sorry, complete noob here. Would the xml files be stored here http://hitchwiki.org/dumps/ ? The page is empty and/or under construction. It would be cool to load the places of the hitchwiki map in either Marble, Monav or any osm-compatible navigation software for offline use. To be clear, I mean the places, rather than the general hh info. Can this be done?:::: I just repaired the dumps: [[Hitchwiki:Dumps|See here]]. The GFDL ones won't work. We probably lost them. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]^{([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])} 07:56, 4 September 2013 (CEST) ::::: /dumps was still showing "forbidden". Fixed now :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 11:07, 4 September 2013 (CEST) ::::: [[User:Spaak|Spaak]] ([[User talk:Spaak|talk]]) 17:13, 4 September 2013 (CEST) Nice! If i were to run the hitchwiki-current-en in Marble, it seems the xml file must be converted to a .pak file first, or? After checking here techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/MaemoOfflineRouting* i did some research on how to do this, but no luck. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks again. (*OT: simple sum does not appear, even with all blockers off) :::::: Not sure about this. Could be good to turn this discussion into a section of [[project:offline]] :) - BTW, another approach would be turning the dump into the dict format and use the dict commandline client.

Working on it.::::::::[[User:Spaak|Spaak]] ([[User talk:Spaak|talk]] Marble reads Hitchwiki's kml files. I've put up a how-to at [[High-tech_hitchhiking#Internet_tablets]]. == Access to blog == Seems I cannot log in to my blog any more, is there a reason for this? [[User:Prino|Prino]]<small>^{[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]}</small> 23:12, 20 May 2014 (CEST) == Github access for Christopher Culver == Can you give him access to it? And send him an email once he's got access? [[User:Prino|Prino]]<small>^{[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]}</small> 18:05, 8 July 2014 (UTC) == Reverts == I almost never revert people's additions the first time they write in first person or unnecessarily sign their names. I just give them a friendly warning that this isn't how we do things on Hitchwiki. However, this particular editor has ignored two prior requests to avoid mentioning himself, and I think the best policy would be reverting his edits until he realizes that something is wrong. In any event, we need some kind of exhortation in the article edit page to avoid writing in first person. I spend all of my time on Hitchwiki now asking people not to write in first person, I don't have any time left to actually edit articles (a ''lot'' of articles now are in need of a major cleanup). [[User:CRCulver|CRCulver]] ([[User talk:CRCulver|talk]]) 16:37, 25 August 2014 (UTC) == new bug == I cannot make any edits to the German part of hitchwiki, I always get the message: ''Es ist ein Datenbankabfragefehler aufgetreten. Dies könnte auf einen Fehler in der Software hindeuten.'' --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 14:19, 7 September 2014 (UTC) :Oops. I added an issue here: https://github.com/Hitchwiki/hitchwiki/issues/48 [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 18:33, 7 September 2014 (UTC) == Spam == Hey, Guaka! Thanks for making that change yesterday to unlock the database! I'm glad to be editing again; however, I've been dealing with a constant barrage of spam since then. Was there some sort of anti-spam setting that might have gotten changed? I noticed that IP editors can edit again, and create new pages, which I know wasn't the case before. Or are there any tools to more easily deal with spam? Cheers, [[User:Irningston|Irningston]] ([[User talk:Irningston|talk]]) 21:50, 15 October 2016 (UTC) How many good people? The only fucking thing you seem to be able to do is to remove the capability of people who care. When was the last time you actually made a meaningful contribution to this wiki? Now I even have to enter fucking captcha's... --- [https://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User_talk:Guaka&diff=prev&oldid=92398 Prino, November 2018] :Prino, it's all gonna be good at some point.

[[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 18:01, 28 May 2021 (CEST) == Dxc == Hey Guaka,<br>Thanks for getting active on this. Is there a way you're envisioning undoing the deletions -- manually? I see you've already started work, I would like to help. But can we do it in an organised way? Is the list on the Dxc talk page the beginning of organising it? Thanks for sharing your thoughts--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 20:10, 5 May 2021 (CEST) :I moved the list here: [[Hitchwiki:Dxc_deletions]]:It's a matter of going through it and seeing if there are parts that can be copied back into the articles or possibly reverting edits. No easy solution. :The quick wins are the ones where dxc was the last contributor, showing as '''(current)''' in the list of contributions. Then you can quickly see what was removed and "rollback" if you're an admin. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 19:20, 7 May 2021 (CEST) ::Cool, thanks!--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 17:36, 10 May 2021 (CEST) :::Since you're a bit more pro than me, maybe you can help me to understand if there is a possibility -- via a database dump perhaps -- to generate a list of all the articles Dxc has had their fingers in, from A to Z? I feel it would be easier to deal with that than with the plain list of edits (confusion has erupted majorly over who has donewhat already). Would be great!--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 19:38, 11 May 2021 (CEST) == Uploading images fails == Hello, im not sure you're the right person to tell this but even if you aint maybe can point me in the right direction.I tried uploading some images and got the following error:Action failedCould not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/e/e6/LBP006.jpg". Make sure your upload directory is configured correctly and your web server has permission to write to that directory. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgUploadDirectory for more information. (Warlo) :As I mentioned [[Hitchwiki:Community Portal#All files are gone!|here]], all files are gone. What happened? --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 14:51, 12 May 2021 (CEST) :: I saw that but didnt thought it was conected to being unable to upload more. --[[User:Warlo|Warlo]] ([[User talk:Warlo|talk]]) 16:44, 12 May 2021 (CEST) :::Huh? I can see all the files.--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 02:34, 13 May 2021 (CEST) :I fixed uploading.:Now wondering what's up with existing files... [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 11:22, 13 May 2021 (CEST)  == Password change fails, potentially compromised password ==Hi Guaka! Long time! I recently got a spammy extortion email that included the password that I use here in plaintext. It's a really old password that I used many places like 15 years ago, so it's not certain that it was gleaned form HW, but it is paired with the email I used on HW, and I can't think of anywhere else that that is the case. I wanted to log in and change my password, but when I do so it seems like the password change doesn't stick. [[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]]<small>^{[[User talk:Zac Stewart|talk]]}</small> :Hi Zac!:Strange. MediaWiki has been storing passwords as uniquely salted hashes for a very long time now. So even if an attacker would get a copy of the database, it would be very hard for them to figure out the actual password.:But let's dive into this... Wanna send me an email at hitchiki AT myusername DOT org? [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 15:36, 15 June 2021 (CEST) == Helping with development == Hi Guaka, I would like to help with development on the maps. I have already prepared a mostly working solution that I can show to you if you have some time. I have been working on it on and off for a couple weeks now, but alone and was intending to open source it as soon as it was ready. It implements all existing data of the current hitchwiki maps, which I scraped (sorry!). Can we exchange private contact info somewhere? --[[User:Rebew|Rebew]] ([[User talk:Rebew|talk]]) 16:41, 12 October 2022 (CEST)  :You are welcome to scrape but this would have been easier: https://hitchwiki.org/dumps/:Email?[[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 23:57, 12 October 2022 (CEST) ::Yeah, that would've been easier. Ugh. Thanks. Tell me if my mail went through! :) --[[User:Rebew|Rebew]] ([[User talk:Rebew|talk]]) 11:27, 13 October 2022 (CEST)
