ocd.cil.li has redirect to actual wiki, but served via expired self-signed certificate site.

Host independent issue tracker instead of GitHub

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 02:12:28 +0000

GitHub is currently blocking my attempts to sign up. I am probably not alone with that kind of problem. No idea how much hassle would it be to provide alternative issue tracker you would self-host, but I for one would welcome it.

Помогите с модами

Я хочу сделать точно так же, но не знаю, как подключить портал к компьютеру. Помогите пожалуйста.

Avatar CSS style

Sun, 10 Oct 2021 19:16:03 +0000

CSS style for avatar is a little bit off:

The reason is that the avatar box is 26 pixels in size, but the CSS dictates a different value:

When disabling the "height: 34px" line - everything starts to work as it is supposed to.

Expired certificate on ocdoc.cli.li

Thu, 06 May 2021 15:35:03 +0000

HI all! It looks like the TLS certificate on oc.cli.li is up to date, but ocdoc.cli.li didn’t automatically update and is now expired, as of a few hours ago.

CI Server has invalid security certificate

Fri, 12 Apr 2019 23:37:35 +0000

When I try to go to the OC CI Server, Firefox shows a screen stating that the certificate is only valid for cil.li.

BBCode in the Forum

Wed, 16 Jan 2019 13:47:21 +0000

It would be nice, if the editor can be witched into a BBCode edit mode. I doesn't like the graphical editor. If you post something in BBCode like:

[b]Big[/b]

it get parsed from the forum, but there is no way to edit a post in BBCode.

Best answers on support forum

Wed, 24 Oct 2018 16:19:53 +0000

Could we have a better way of notifying people to mark the best answer as best? Currently, almost no one remembers to do that. It is somewhat annoying that a question which supposedly doesn't have a solution actually does.

how does one change his nickname?

Wiki down

Wed, 20 Jun 2018 19:45:23 +0000

The wiki has been down for two days now.

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT from ocdoc.cil.li

Same issue on multiple computers and networks.

Is anyone aware of this?

No emails from this form

Fri, 18 May 2018 13:38:46 +0000

Some people told me they didn't get a confirmation mail.

I tried to reset my passwort to test if the email system of the form is dead and the reset email also never got it into my mailbox. The spam folder is empty so I think oc.cil.li can't send emails.

Forum layout all weird

Sun, 10 Sep 2017 03:04:07 +0000

The date a post was made (and everything else in line with it) is pushed further down than it used to be, causing it to go under the message body somewhat.

Snip attached.

Can't post on forums

Sat, 04 Mar 2017 02:51:34 +0000

Is this forum dead? I can't seem to post on the one thing I wanted to post on. Any moderators active?

[Fixed] non-https forum

Mon, 21 Nov 2016 05:01:50 +0000

The non-https forum isn't set up properly. It leads to a "Welcome to nginx!" page. (go to http://oc.cil.li/ instead of https://oc.cil.li/ to see the issue).

Embed wiki

Sun, 25 Jan 2015 14:36:01 +0000

I think the wiki's design isnt really fitting. I dont say its bad but if it would be in the same design as the forum and also possible to go back to the Forum, Member, etc menu from the wiki I think it would be better.

Forum captures middle-clicks?

Sun, 31 Aug 2014 23:02:48 +0000

I've noticed that if I middle-click on a forum link on the main forum page (it doesn't seem to affect sub-pages), it opens a new tab for the forum as usual--but it also advances as if I'd left-clicked on the link as well, preventing further middle-clicking. This is annoying when I'm trying to get caught up on my reading. Why is this happening?

EDIT: this also affects subforum links and thread links, but not, say, the wiki link.

Subforum for architecture development?

Thu, 28 Apr 2016 04:03:17 +0000

I recently resurfaced to work on my ARM architecture. I was already aware of a 6502 architecture, and was thinking of making a 65c816 architecture. I poked around the forums to see what other architecture modules were in development, and found GreaseMonkey's MIPS architecture and evidence of another ARM architecture at least as far along as mine*.

A lot of work has been done by separate people on solving the various problems posed by developing a "real" architecture for OpenComputers. (The biggest of course being the component communication problem.) As far as I can tell (from not being on IRC), this has all taken place independently. This has probably resulted in a lot of wasted effort. In particular, my own work and that of the other ARM architecture's author probably overlapped heavily.

It seems that what coordination and communication has been done has been done mainly over IRC. This is well and good for those who are on IRC regularly, or at least "lurk". However, in my experience, long-term prospects of that means of coordination are poor as no record is left behind. People and work can disappear. It works for ad hoc efforts, and projects by small, existing groups, but it's not good for this kind of cross-project coordination.

Since the era of the mailing list seems to be over, I propose creating a subforum dedicated to architecture module development. Stuff like GreaseMonkey's hardbus proposal, or my (designed to be general) component interchange wire format, would be more likely to be seen there than where they are now (respectively on GitHub and in a tarball on an obscure website). We could also swap techniques for things like clock cycle management, virtual memory optimization, even JIT... There currently isn't a forum that really fits for these things. On top of that, a subforum would provide more of a record of what architectures are currently being worked on, and by whom, and how far along they are. It would do a lot to prevent unnecessary duplication of effort.

*This was discouraging, to say the least, coming as it did right after I had arranged a regular ration of time to work on OC-ARM. All other issues aside, it seems like a waste of my time to do something someone else may have already done. Especially if my result is incompatible with theirs. The ARM ecosystem is fragmented enough with subtly-incompatible everything already, and I have now unknowingly added to that in a small way. Plus, their module has a way cooler name than mine.

Lack of Server Section

Sat, 29 Mar 2014 17:51:19 +0000

There isn't anywhere to post servers! I think for a mod, this is a major issue.

If one could be created that'd be good.

Forum skin on touch devices

Sat, 28 Feb 2015 23:28:58 +0000

The current forum skin hides the action buttons below posts by default unless you hover over the post. On touch devices (smartphones and tablets) there is no way to do that, so it is impossible to quote people or edit posts. Not a major issue, I can of course just use a regular computer, though it can sometimes be inconvenient.

cil.li mail goes direct to spam

Thu, 12 Feb 2015 02:08:09 +0000

Gmail is reporting that emails from cil.li are being blocked due to not passing bulk email validation per https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication

Discovered this when registering. Seems it might prevent some registrants from understanding why they didn't get the email.

Will there be an update to the wiki?

Thu, 28 Aug 2014 10:40:26 +0000

Because either I am completely missing something or it is heavily outdated.

Just started with OpenComputers and it took me a while to figure out why most of the documented functions just weren't working. Turned out the documentation is just plain wrong.

Example:

Wiki:

robot.forward()

Actually:

robot.move(sides.forward)

I don't mind the code update, but without a proper documentation there is hardly anyone going to use this mod.

Could we add power costs to wiki pages?

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:26:30 +0000

I don't see anywhere on the wiki where it says how much power it actually takes to power a computer. I know that screens take more power the more of their pixels are on, but I don't know what the minimum and maximum power drains are, and I don't know anything at all about what other components' costs (or actions' costs, for robots) are. Now, my current power system is massively over-engineered, but it'd be nice to be able to do some adding up and know ahead of time how much power I need in reserve when I'm getting started on a new world; in a situation where the number is likely to vary a lot, knowing the maximum would be sufficient.

Hey, Wiki, what's a component bus?

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 02:32:32 +0000

I mean, I know what it is now, because I saw the icon in the server's sockets, wondered what it was, and used NEI to search the OpenComputers parts until I found one that looked like the icon. But it's not documented on the wiki, either as a component or on the page for servers.

Issues Selecting Color in Theme Editor

Tue, 20 May 2014 22:46:40 +0000

I hit the Theme Editor in the top-right corner (the paintbrush icon) and selected lime green (they call it Apple), my preferred color. However, it doesn't seem to take effect on the "OpenComputers" at the top of the page, with that color still being the default "Slate".

Here is a screenshot:

Would this be allowed on the forums?

Tue, 06 May 2014 00:04:51 +0000

Would I be allowed to post a program on these boards that works with both ComputerCraft and OpenComputers? It's one file that works on both, not two download links.
