Re: Pending Move - Bob Schroeck - 08-17-2017 Well... what does everyone else think? (I mean, after all, after 17 years the boards are as much yours as mine, which is why I'm looking for community consensus on a lot of things. What maximizes your enjoyment and ease of use?)-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Re: Pending Move - Bob Schroeck - 08-17-2017 Oh, and I realize I forgot to update you all on the transfer. Sadly, due to guests last night and tonight, nothing got done and nothing is likely to get done. Friday night might be the earliest I can get back to debugging my script.-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Re: Pending Move - Black Aeronaut - 08-18-2017 Argh. Well, I know better than most that life freakin' happens. Keep us posted, boss. And really, what do you guys think of my idea? EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to say last time: the Black Goat one at 1,000 sounds great! ![]() Re: Pending Move - Morganite - 08-18-2017 This would be the same title that we can already override in our profiles, right? (Citation: It saying "I have a lot of books." below my userpic.) I'm not a fan of having auto-assigned ones that are tied to a specific work though, unless that work is Drunkard's Walk itself. -Morgan. Re: Pending Move - Black Aeronaut - 08-19-2017 I don't think so? Bob? Re: Pending Move - Bob Schroeck - 08-21-2017 You know, I'd have to check to be sure. I kinda thought personal titles overrode the auto titles, but now that I think of it, I don't think I ever actually confirmed it. In the mean time, I'm completely frustrated by MySQL. My T-SQL script is working as designed, and as far as I can tell it's outputting proper MySQL code. So why the hell am I getting a 1064 syntax error on a goddamned variable declaration that looks letter-perfect? Argh.-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Re: Pending Move - Lubaf - 08-21-2017 Could you enable HTTPS on the new board? Firefox, at least, always complains when you try to log in to a site that isn't HTTPS. Thanks Luc "Encrypted" French Re: Pending Move - Bob Schroeck - 08-21-2017 I think I need to talk to my hosting service to do that. It's on my "to do" list.-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Re: Pending Move - LulzKiller - 08-21-2017 HTTPS is a good move especially these days, where people are trusting non-secure HTTP less and less. Also check this: http://letsencrypt.org/ - in case you can do it on your own for free. Re: Pending Move - Bob Schroeck - 08-21-2017 Thanks, Lulz. If nothing comes up, I'll give my host a call today some time and find out what I need to do.-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Re: Pending Move - LynnInDenver - 08-21-2017 I found this, Bob: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support ... error-1064 My guess, not having dealt with SQL, is that it's either a reserved word used for the variable name it's complaining about, there's missing data somewhere in that field in one or more records that it requires, or you're using a deprecated command. On a personal level, I hate deprecated commands. I understand WHY they're deprecated, because it either is something that should not have been implemented or there's a much better implementation that required a whole new command, but I still hate when they happen. Especially given that they linger for one or two more versions before they disappear.-- "You know how parents tell you everything's going to fine, but you know they're lying to make you feel better? Everything's going to be fine." - The Doctor Re: Pending Move - Bob Schroeck - 08-21-2017 Thank you, JFerio. That's one that I didn't find while doing my debugging last night, and seems a bit more detailed and more accessible than the pages I consulted last night. I'll have to go through it in detail when I have a bit more time. In the mean time, you know what I'll do? I'll post the MySQL script here and maybe someone with more experience in the dialect than I can point out the obvious errors I'm making. <grin>-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.

Re: Pending Move - Morganite - 08-21-2017 I don't claim to understand it, but this *sounds* a lot like what you're seeing: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/740 ... iable?rq=1 -Morgan. Re: Pending Move - Bob Schroeck - 08-21-2017 Ooh. That just might be it. I'll have to give that a try when I get home tonight. Thanks!-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Re: Pending Move - robkelk - 08-22-2017 LulzKiller Wrote:HTTPS is a good move especially these days, where people are trusting non-secure HTTP less and less. I did a bit of research on letsencrypt.org - and turned up nothing. Including no entry in my browsers' Certificate Authority lists. You and I (and I assume Bob) know how to add a CA to our authority list, but does anyone else? And without that entry, a digital certificate is worth the paper it's printed on. Bob might need to spend a few dollars on a certificate from a trusted authority, so that everyone else can use the forums.-- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

And it probably does. -Morgan, thinks all signs point to them *being* a trusted authority. Re: Pending Move - Bob Schroeck - 08-22-2017 Bob Schroeck Wrote:Ooh. That just might be it. I'll have to give that a try when I get home tonight. Thanks! And no, that's not it. I am growing increasingly confused at what is going on. I can run "select * from mybb_threads" just fine, but if I put it inside a "BEGIN/END" block it suddenly throws a syntax error. And with or without "BEGIN/END", I still get a syntax error on trying to declare a variable. ... Wait. I just tried something completely stupid, and of course it works. Even though DECLARE and its uses are thoroughly documented, it appears the only way I can actually declare a variable is to do what's flagged as the wrong answer on that Stack Over flow page: "SET @mybb_tid = 0;" works. How dumb is that? <sigh> Time to rewrite my script.-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Re: Pending Move - robkelk - 08-22-2017 Morganite Wrote:If your browser likes the rpg.net forums, then it already likes letsencrypt.org certificates. And it probably does. rpg.net issues SSL/TLS certificates? (That seems rather outside of their core competency.) If they don't, then that isn't the sort of "authority" I'm talking about. I did a bit more investigation of Let's Encrypt - including looking on Wikipedia. Yeah, they've been around for a few months. (They came out of beta after the last time I visited rpg.net, though.) TLS only, which isn't a big deal considering how broken most versions of SSL are. They issue domain-validated certificates only - that might or might not be an issue. Oh! Here's a red flag: "Let's Encrypt issues certificates valid for 90 days. Their reason is that these certificates "limit damage from key compromise and mis-issuance" and encourage automation." The first reason doesn't hold water - certificate revocation is a thing. The second reason ... sounds like a lazy authority to me. How serious are these people about providing service? Bob, do you want to have to renew the site's certificate every three months, even if it is free?-- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 Re: Pending Move - jonathanlennox - 08-22-2017 Let's Encrypt is designed to work with the new ACME protocol, which gets and validates certificates for you automatically. So you don't have to manually renew the certificate every 90 days -- you just have to set up a cron job or something to do it periodically. Let's Encrypt's root cert is "IdenTrust’s DST Root X3", according to their FAQ, and according to that FAQ all non-ancient browsers support it. (The FAQ also explains ACME.) I know the folks who developed Let's Encrypt, and they're some of the best Internet security people out there. They know what they're doing. Re: Pending Move - Morganite - 08-22-2017 robkelk Wrote:rpg.net issues SSL/TLS certificates? (That seems rather outside of their core competency.) If they don't, then that isn't the sort of "authority" I'm talking about. The point was that they're a site that uses certificates from Let's Encrypt, and no one ever had to fool around with their browser to make them work. It... kinda feels like you're missing how big a deal LE is. Have you read any of the pages relating to it on eff.org? I'd check that out, since they're one of the major groups behind the project. -Morgan. Re: Pending Move - VladimirTherin - 08-22-2017 >certificate revocation is a thing Man, OCSP is so flaky. It relies on a HTTP request to the CA. So if there server goes down everyone has to default to trusting or everything grinds to a halt. And they do go down, constantly. LetsEncryt is entirely legit. Their root is trusted in every modern browser and OS, and that is not something that happens if they are not. Granted, most people still trust Comodo too, but it is still solid. They only issue domain-validated certs too, so its not like they are promising the moon.

(The FAQ also explains ACME.) "IdenTrust" I've heard of, and this explains why they;re not in my browsers' authority lists. So my only concern is the 90-day lifespan of their certificates.-- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.
