(Quote)When I was about to quit emu I decided to just let my credit card expire and be done with it. However there is a facility that services can use that gets them notified of expired/updated cards so that they can automatically updat…This is a bit of thread necromancy, but I've been a bit out of the loop for a while, sp what's the deal with emusic these days? I see they're still doing the token thing, and now NFTs (which imo is like the token thing but worse.) …OK this seems to have worked. You'll probably see some things different but hopefully they're minor. Give me a shout if you notice something broken.
It went better than expected. Apparently I'd already done it some time in the past and forgot to document it. Time to see about upgrading the forum version then I guess.
I'm going to be doing an OS upgrade on the server underneath the forum. There'll be downtime, hopefully not much. If it goes swimmingly (hah) I might upgrade the forum version too, but no promises. That'll come soon anyway.
(Quote)Also thanks for getting me to fix an issue that's probably stopped new user registration for quite a while now!At the risk of getting wildly off-topic, go check out archive.org. It's goal is basically to be an archive of everything digital (or digitalisable) that it can. You'll find films…(Quote)
Better than the constant wind of Wellington, anyway! Though, at the moment coffee shops are takeaway only.
(Quote)I wonder if some of your tapes are worth digitising and putting on archive.org. Especially if they have additional things like news, ad breaks, and such still intact. More as a history project than a music distribution one …It's possible I've shared this before, I can't recall, but I keep coming back to this album. In particular this track from it: <…You've almost certainly heard a song by Psyche, they had one or two hits way back when. I think most known is their Goodbye Horses cover: in (Old-sounding) New Wave I like on eMusic & Bandcamp Comment by eythian May 2020OK, I'm calling it. It now looks as though the old domain emusers.org has been snapped up by one of those scammy sites that use it to advertise gambling or bitcoin or something, so I don't think it'll be coming back for a while and the current …OK, the forum has now moved about 18,000km around the planet.You will have seen some ever-changing errors and strange results for a while there, but things seem to have stabilised now. It's possible that if you have a bad ISP you mig…I'm preparing a server move and probably upgrade at the same time, assuming I fit them all in to this afternoon. So expect some weirdness in the next couple of hours.
I haven't looked into those subreddits, but in general I find it a place where, for better or for worse, the moderators can very much shape the engagement. And the easiest form of that is sometimes "we want links to fun stuff, not things we hav…As much as I like metal, I do find it's something I have to be in the mood for and there's a lot I just don't enjoy. No idea if they're still on eMusic, but when I used it I bought a fair bit from the Nuclear Blast (many bands) and Orchard (I think …This does sound like my sort of thing. As is synth-pop, so I'll have to go find your other list. I'm only at the beginning of your list with Подполья, which is a good start.Added later: Funnily enough, I was thinking that most of the…I see that emusers.org seems to be down again. I dunno what's going on there. May have been some strange registrar thing.
Not my doing. It might be @xtrev did something. Last registry update was the 5th of March, but I can't tell if that's related. Don't rely on it though, I'm going to have to move se…@Germanprof sorry for the slow answer, been a bit lazy/busy. A plugin may be possible, I'll take a look soon.Looks like the better part of a year. It seems the registrar snaps it up so they can auction it off or get it renewed or whatever. It's not impossible that they release it early, but I'd be surprised.
FYI I still haven't heard from @xtrev, and soon will need to make some changes to ensure that the certificate remains valid, so there might be weirdness should it come back. Also s…> @Brighternow said:

Let me know if somethin…OK, this seemed to be easier and safer than I expected. That's always a surprise. Lemme know if you see more weirdness.Notes for self in case I need to revert it:MariaDB [emusers]&g…Awesome, thanks. I'm going to start on this now, it might take an hour or two of me poking at things so expect weirdness. The first thing I'm going to do is back up the database, so if you post something and noticed that it vanished it's probably be…(Quote)
Hey, @Brighternow can you do me a bit of a favour and gather up a handful of links to threads where this is an issue? I might have a chance to do this to…
