| 13:55 | <@celticminstrel> | Raaandom thought, wondering if union U { /* whatever */ }; std::map<int, U> stuff; counts as a tagged union (with the map key determining which part of the union is valid). |

| 17:01 | < verdule> | I'm wondering if some user by the username DixieFlatline is on this IRC channel. |
| 17:02 | < Emmy> | Well, considering the userlist, i would say no. |
| 17:02 | | * verdule wants to know what this channel is really about. |
| 17:03 | < verdule> | That person on another channel on a different server has pointed me to this channel. |
| 17:03 | < ErikMesoy> | Computer programming, mostly. |
| 17:04 | < ErikMesoy> | You would be Yoss's friend? |
| 17:04 | < ErikMesoy> | Some questions about USB and card readers, as I recall? |
| 17:05 | < verdule> | I'm old enough to recall the days when Microsoft QuickBasic sort of ruled the programming scene. A very long time ago, I must add. Now it's obsolete. |
| 17:05 | < verdule> | Anyway who is Yoss? |
| 17:05 | < ErikMesoy> | Local person who mentioned pointing a friend here. Was this DixieFlatline someone you met on Freenode? |
| 17:05 | < verdule> | I did field some questions about USB card readers and hub with DixieFlatline on freenode's #phoronix channel. Yes. |
| 17:07 | < verdule> | Anyway I have bought a USB 3 multicard reader. It does have the ability to address all its slot simultaneously but it's only a card reader; no hub functionality in it. |
| 17:08 | < verdule> | That was part of a gratis delivery from amazon.co.uk and it also has something else I bought from them: a Raspberry Pi 4 model B. |
| 17:09 | < verdule> | I'm planning to completely wrap up my time on this rickety old Raspberry Pi 1 model B - you know the one with only two USB ports, the 26-pin GPIO and the use of a full size SD card for its hard disk drive. |
| 17:10 | < verdule> | Yes I'm retiring the old RasPi 1 now. But I'm still using for now. |
| 17:14 | < verdule> | I hate having having put a computer in the dining room of my home where the router/modem is located. The RasPi 4's integrated wifi will solve this problem! :) |
| 17:21 | < verdule> | Anything you want to discuss with me before I wrap up tonight? I hate being inside a dark dining room but I have had to plug the old Raspberry Pi 1 straight into the modem/router. So I'm happy to be retiring it. :) |
| 17:30 | < ErikMesoy> | You may want to lurk and leave your account logged on for a while to see if anyone else pops in to say useful things. See note in topic - not everyone is constantly here. |
| 17:32 | < verdule> | "ask, then hang about till someone appears who can help" that's what the note to this channel says. |
| 17:41 | < verdule> | Actually I'm not feeling well today. |
| 18:02 | < verdule> | Perhaps I should just go now. |
| 18:05 | < verdule> | Yes I do remember when Microsoft's QuickBasic was on just about every PC. That was a very long time ago and, now it's obsolete. |
| 18:10 | < verdule> | Well I really didn't need to login to this channel at all. So goodbye. I'm leaving. |

| 18:17 | <&[R]> | Rude |
| 20:11 | | * TheWatcher eyebrows |
| 20:27 | | * abudhabi has an perennial problem: how to get wordpress to stop redirecting to mysite.com/wordpress and just use mysite.com/. |
| 20:28 | | Kindamoody|afk is now known as Kindamoody |
| 20:38 | <@TheWatcher> | abudhabi: Dashboard -> Settings -> General -> wordPress Address set to mysite.com/ and Site Address set to the same place? |
| 20:38 | <@abudhabi> | Both of them need to be the same? |
| 20:39 | <@abudhabi> | The actuall install is in ./wordpress/ |
| 20:40 | <@abudhabi> | I have just set both to the root site, without /wordpress/, and it broke things. |
| 20:41 | <@TheWatcher> | you'll need to use .htaccess if you've got it installed in a subdir if you don't want the redirect - https://wordpress.org/support/article/giving-wordpress-its-own-directory/#method-i-without-url-change |
| 20:41 | | * abudhabi gets into the database via phpmyadmin. |
| 20:44 | <@abudhabi> | TheWatcher: I have reset both URLs to mysite.com/wordpress and have placed the .htaccess file in the root folder of the site, appropriately modified from the template from your link. |
| 20:45 | <@abudhabi> | This yields a redirect and a 404. |
| 20:45 | <@TheWatcher> | The urls should be mysite.com if you're using the .htaccess |
| 20:46 | <@abudhabi> | OK, wrong spot to put it. |
| 20:46 | <@abudhabi> | Now that I fixed that, it no longer 404s. |
| 20:46 | <@TheWatcher> | And it should go in your web root |
| 20:46 | <@abudhabi> | Yes. |
| 20:48 | <@abudhabi> | Argh, this is maddening. |
| 20:48 | <@TheWatcher> | (the .htaccess looks at the uri and if it's not going direct into your subdir (the !^/my_subdir/ line) and it doesn't resolve to a real file or directory, it rewrites it to be under the /my_subdir/ directory, and then if you've just specified / it will redirect to the index.php) |
| 20:52 | <@abudhabi> | OK, let's try this extremely slowly, because I'm doing something extremely wrongly. |
| 20:52 | <@abudhabi> | In public_html/ I have .htaccess constructed from the template in the instruction. |
| 20:53 | <@abudhabi> | I have index.php copied here too, for reasons that are not entirely clear. |
| 20:53 | <@abudhabi> | Then there is the wordpress/ directory here too. |
| 20:53 | <@TheWatcher> | You shouldn't need the index.php in the root |
| 20:53 | <@TheWatcher> | in fact, you don't want it there, or things'll break |
| 20:54 | <@abudhabi> | I have now renamed it. Hopefully that'll fix that. |
| 20:56 | <@abudhabi> | What should the Wordpress Address and Site Address be? |
| 20:56 | <@abudhabi> | With /wordpress or without? |
| 20:56 | <~Vornicus> | without |
| 20:56 | <@abudhabi> | They are so. |
| 20:57 | <@abudhabi> | When I am accessing my admin panel, it works off of mysite.com/wp-admin/whatever.php |
| 20:57 | <@TheWatcher> | Right |
| 20:58 | <@abudhabi> | But when I go to mysite.com it redirects me to mysite.com/wordpress and shows me wordpress' "oops! that page can't be found" page. |
| 21:00 | <@abudhabi> | Ideas? |
| 21:00 | <@TheWatcher> | Long shot, but what're your permalinks set to? |
| 21:01 | <@abudhabi> | Post name. http://mysite.com/sample-post/ |
| 21:02 | <@abudhabi> | If it set it to plain, mysite.com redirects me to mysite.com/wordpress/ and shows me the page. |
| 21:03 | <@TheWatcher> | What happens if you do mysite.com/index.php ? |
| 21:04 | <@abudhabi> | It shows the front page and modifies the url to mysite.com without the index.php. |
| 21:05 | <@TheWatcher> | Are you possibly using cpanel or some other site management UI that might've done its own redirects? |
| 21:06 | <@abudhabi> | Not sure. |
| 21:06 | <@abudhabi> | How do I check? |
| 21:06 | <@TheWatcher> | How did you set up your site? |
| 21:06 | <@TheWatcher> | Did your hoster give you the URL for a management interface for your hosting? |
| 21:07 | <@abudhabi> | I'm fairly sure I set up the mysql database via the provided control panel, and then used ssh to wget wordpress and proceeded from there. |
| 21:08 | <@abudhabi> | I don't remember, because I set this site initially long ago, and just moved to another domain, so as not to have to reinstall wordpress, if I have a working install already that's unused. |
| 21:09 | <@abudhabi> | Hrm. |
| 21:10 | <@abudhabi> | If I'm logged in, mysite.com redirects to wordpress/. |
| 21:10 | <@abudhabi> | In the incognito tab, it doesn't. |
| 21:10 | <@abudhabi> | WTF. |
| 21:10 | <@TheWatcher> | Caching, probably |
| 21:10 | <@TheWatcher> | If you're using chrome, it'll helpfully remember certain redirects |
| 21:10 | | * abudhabi fires up inspect and disables cache. |
| 21:10 | <@abudhabi> | Fucking hell. |
| 21:11 | <@abudhabi> | That was it. |
| 21:11 | <@TheWatcher> | And by "helpfully" I mean "it can fucking die in a burning fucking wreck" |
| 21:12 | <@abudhabi> | Thank you! |
| 21:18 | <@abudhabi> | Hmm. |
| 21:18 | <@abudhabi> | How would I alter .htaccess to route subdomains properly? |
| 21:19 | <@abudhabi> | I'm trying to use polylang for multilingual stuff and the subdomain option looks nicest. |
| 21:19 | <@abudhabi> | So stuff like en.mysite.com and pl.mysite.com but both of those dump me with an autogenerated directory inventory. |
| 21:22 | <@abudhabi> | The .htaccess has optional www. prefixes, how do I make that any prefix instead? |
| 21:25 | <@TheWatcher> | ^(*.)?mysite.com$ should do it I think |
| 21:26 | <@TheWatcher> | ^(.*.)?mysite.com$ sorry |
| 21:26 | <@TheWatcher> | Gaah |
| 21:26 | <@abudhabi> | Yeah, that was causing 500. |
| 21:26 | <@TheWatcher> | ^(.*\.)?mysite.com$ |
| 21:26 | <@abudhabi> | It was my first guess, too! |
| 21:27 | <@abudhabi> | The second one works. |
| 21:27 | <@abudhabi> | Why escape the period? |
| 21:27 | <@TheWatcher> | Because '.' matches any char, while '\.' matches . |
| 21:28 | <@abudhabi> | Legit. |
| 21:28 | <@abudhabi> | Thanks again. |
| 21:31 | <@TheWatcher> | Glad it works |
