I'm not sure if the local emailing is broken, amputated by anti-spam measures by google or if the monastery is simply blocking my IP.
- I tried various email addresses (also non-gmail) to create a new account but no avail
--> Create A New User
- I also tried to get password reminder, also no success
--> What's my password?
Does it work for anyone else?
update
In the meantime I got one new account email via @cpan.org.
Update

It might be nice to have a [vote] link to the right of each message where [reply], [/msg], etc are; there is plenty of space for it. That way you never have to scroll to the bottom to vote.

You mention security. Are passwords still stored as plaintext? Is security by obscurity really considered a valuable defence against ze baddies here?
As a generality, I think that separating code and data is a good thing, and makes for better design. If the system for this site requires changing to achieve that, then it should be done. I am willing to put effort into that myself. I never got going with the "add markdown as an option", and that is largely due to there not being a dev environment possible.

Hello all, I was trying to restore access to my old account here, and no emails were received to gmail.com. I created a new account with gmail.com address, and also received no confirmation message. Then I created an account using mail.yandex.ru and received email there but it went to spam with a complaint about SPF records. Here are some headers of that email message:
Received: from vps918.pairvps.com (vps918.pairvps.com [216.92.237.59])

Is it a known problem perhaps?

(originally posted as a reply to Re: DuckDuckGo Donates $25,000 to The Perl and Raku Foundation)
I suppose we'd want to ditch the Everything Engine and build something using modern software and processes,
including git, CI/CD, and so on.
It would take quite a bit of planning and effort to create a platform with all the features and
meta-features of PerlMonks that we know and love, but it would be so worth it.

The site was not responding for several times today. For a short period of time, I was getting the pages back, but they were littered with red error codes. Here are some of them:

URL perlmonks.org No Longer Works

I have used the URL perlmonks.org for as long as I can remember. However, the last 2 or 3 days it brings up a maintenance message. Today, I tried perlmonks.com and logged in as usual. Why the change, and why were no notices given? Is this URL change permanent, or will it revert to perlmonks.org sometime in the future? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Currently only /index.pl works, the root URL / is broken

Just a short notice: The / URL is broken but /index.pl works.
Likely, this is due to a redirect/Apache config rule going missing while setting up new SSL certificates.

Incorporating ChatGPT into PerlMonks

I have an idea! What if PerlMonks would build ChatGPT into the website so when someone posts something that has a question mark in it, the entire post would be fed into ChatGPT and its response would be posted as the first reply in the thread. This would ensure that people get an immediate response. Sometimes there isn't a lot of activity. Now, of course, if people feel that ChatGPT's automatic answer is incomplete or just flat out wrong, they could correct it or complete it with ideas. But I think, it would be a good idea to have ChatGPT's answer in each thread. What do you think?
And just to make things clear, I think, the answer provided by ChatGPT should be copied verbatim and posted as text on PerlMonks, not just a link or a suggestion or whatever, because links cannot be trusted. We're talking about thousands of links. You can't guarantee that those links will stay alive in the future. So, any automatic answer by ChatGPT should be copied and saved on the site if you decide to implement this feature. And I think, it would be very helpful. This move would help bring PerlMonks.com into the 21st century.

I wasn't able to find any in our help-pages.
I find choroba's standard reply quite helpful...
It's considered polite to inform about crossposting, so that people not attending both sites don't waste their efforts hacking a problem already solved at the other end of the internets.
...could we add this to our FAQ and make it linkable via "crosspost"?
Preferably in Posting on PerlMonks

Workarounds for <abbr> tag on mobile browsers

Hi
Our <abbr> -tag doesn't work in mobile browsers, because there is no "mouse" to hover above.¹
This page https://www.audero.it/blog/2013/12/23/enhancing-the-abbr-element-on-mobile/ suggests a workaround by using fancy CSS code to dynamically enhance abbr-tags to show the message.
I've tested it in my On-Site CSS Markup, but unfortunately I couldn't make it work.
I'm too ignorant about CSS to tell if it ever worked or if I did it wrong.
Interestingly did Corion recently suggest a new HTML way to reveal text on click, using <details><summary> :
Click here to reveal spoiler Here is the hidden content
It would be nice if someone tried to combine the two approaches in a way that clicking on an abbreviation revealed the title text.
Such a pure CSS solution has many advantages.
You can use your CSS markup settings for that.
I'm too busy to experiment right now, but wanted at least leave a note for others or for a future me. :)

perlmonks.org blocked in Iran

I talked to a Perl interested person based in Tehran, Iran.
Apparently, they cannot access perlmonks.org, even by using a strong VPN / Proxy combination that usually is enough to void the state censorship. I cannot say for sure it's because it contains the "monk" word, but this would be my first guess...
They can access it through http://216.92.34.251/, though (this is an IP I gave them based on the one my browser use from France). Shouldn't an alternate address be set for that case? Or maybe one already exists, that I could send to the person? I know I could do it myself by setting a "mirror" subdomain on one of my domain names, but maybe ops here might want to know about that. And also, I am not sure the IP is not going to change anytime soon, etc.

Pair have investigated the recent outage and the site was hogged by Amazon AIbot by them keeping all connections to Apache open.
The IPs have now been blocked on the firewall and I will be far more aggressive now by blocking IP addresses of anything hitting the site in an undue fashion.

Hi. My recent posting titled "Passing argument by reference (for a scalar)" has an author Anonymous Monk which should be me, jmClifford. I am unsure of how this occurred ?? The responses are excellent. :-)
Regards JC....
