hello
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:50:08
Hello. I registered this nick a *long* time ago. So long, in fact, that I do not remember the password, nor do I think that the email address associated with the account is valid any longer. How would I go about recovering access to my nick?
gry 2017-03-06 16:50:37
you could try to send a password recovery email anyway and see if it comes to one of your addresses - /msg nickserv sendpass dmitri
gry 2017-03-06 16:50:51
failing that, check your irc client logs and settings in case they have your password,or try to remember it
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:50:52
gry: I did that -- no luck, unfortunately
NightTrain 2017-03-06 16:51:17
One year old account.
gry 2017-03-06 16:51:18
failing that, the account could be dropped as it's unused, but that would reset its age and you would lose any channel access you had (if any)
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:51:20
gry: by "long time" I meant like over a decade :)
mniip 2017-03-06 16:51:35
yeah the account is only a year old
thumbs 2017-03-06 16:51:37
dmitri: your nickname was registered a year ago.
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:51:40
NightTrain: oh, they get dropped?
mniip 2017-03-06 16:51:41
it is possible it isn't yours after all
mniip 2017-03-06 16:51:45
yes
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:51:45
Huh
mniip 2017-03-06 16:51:48
10 weeks
gry 2017-03-06 16:51:49
yes it was probably purged in 2015
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:51:55
Well, surely there are many Dmitris, but there's only one me!
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:52:00
:)
gry 2017-03-06 16:52:05
but you can have it back, as the guy who took it no longer uses it
NightTrain 2017-03-06 16:52:10
You can ask staff to drop the expired nick to allow you t register it again.
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:52:12
I guess I have to wait for it to be freed up again?
gry 2017-03-06 16:52:19
no, you can just ask
mniip 2017-03-06 16:52:23
not really
mniip 2017-03-06 16:52:30
it's been unused for more than 10 weeks
mniip 2017-03-06 16:52:42
so you can ask it to be dropped
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:53:04
mniip: you have a very promising @ by your nick -- could you be of help? :)
mniip 2017-03-06 16:53:40
sure
rob0 2017-03-06 16:53:44
a very promising @ indeed!
mniip 2017-03-06 16:54:33
now, I don't promise anything,
mniip 2017-03-06 16:55:28
but you should be able to register
dmitri 2017-03-06 16:56:47
mniip: Thank you.
laowai 2017-03-06 16:56:47
make what?
mniip 2017-03-06 16:58:19
make install

Is there a definitive source for open-source images? Mayde definitive is not the right word - but is there a well established resource? a lot of the top google results seem to not have very much or seem kind of scammy... just on first inspection.
gry 2017-03-06 17:16:12
you mean where to share freely licensed images, or where to find them?
jayjo 2017-03-06 17:16:42
I am looking to find them
jayjo 2017-03-06 17:16:56
But hopefully the best place to find them is also the best place to share them
gry 2017-03-06 17:17:09
to find freely licensed images - in google images, there is a dropdown to select licence. then you can pick any images which are visually appealing
gry 2017-03-06 17:17:59
to share freely licensed images - I used https://goblinrefuge.com/mediagoblin/ before but then I was a bit too tired and started using a self-hosted wiki (hosted at nfshost.com) instead (which is a bit selfish, as people rarely find my pictures there)
gry 2017-03-06 17:18:59
for both purposes, commons.wikimedia.org also suits, but I find it useful only for icons or images of popular items and not for some other rare stuff
afsto 2017-03-06 17:20:17
Could I get a cloak?
NightTrain 2017-03-06 17:20:45
afsto: You don't appear to be identified.
afsto 2017-03-06 17:21:12
oh, I will do it as fast as possible.
dmitri 2017-03-06 17:21:33
What's the usual amount of time for a registrtion email to arrive? I haven't received mine yet (it's been maybe 15 minutes?) and I wonder whether I should be nervous.
afsto 2017-03-06 17:21:52
I have finished it.
NightTrain 2017-03-06 17:22:11
Have you checked spam/junk folders?
NightTrain 2017-03-06 17:22:53
afsto: Yep. You'll need to wait for a response from a staff member.
dmitri 2017-03-06 17:23:34
NightTrain: it *was* in the junk folder, silly me! The web UI is screwy...
afsto 2017-03-06 17:23:49
Thank you !
NightTrain 2017-03-06 17:24:01
Ah, good. You got the mail. :)
canoodle 2017-03-06 17:27:26
May i please have an unaffiliated cloak?
gry 2017-03-06 17:28:10
canoodle: dax said you to wait 2 weeks and then ask again if you still need it by then (routinely done for newly created accounts)
canoodle 2017-03-06 17:28:33
ok thanks i didn't see that message my client disconnected
laowai 2017-03-06 17:28:57
cloaks should be automated
thumbs 2017-03-06 17:29:16
laowai: please don't be daft on purpose.
laowai 2017-03-06 17:30:02
not so purpose
Gracie 2017-03-06 17:30:06
oh. damn. missed mniip
