Q: What is migration and how does it work?

I posted a question which was closed as off-topic and it seems like it could fit on another site in the network. How can I go about moving it there? What is migration and how does the process work? Who can migrate questions? When should I consider migration? What can cause migrations...

@FEichinger Oh, yup you're right, thanks

FEichinger

Any time. Meta lurking has to be useful for something. :P

it could say something tho, I sometimes feel like I'm in a minefield

even knowing all this meta shit doesn't help because I really don't care to go through the complete checklist each and every time something unexpected happens ... it's too darn complicated and needs not be

I've seen bibles shorter than SE rules

e.g. help section... all nice and dandy, but 99% of problems come from users not knowing what's the difference between forums and Q&A sites... so why not put it in nice big and red letters "we're not a forum" first?

@FEichinger anyway, what are you doing up this early on a saturday? :O

FEichinger

Q: Tell me why a close or flag option has been disabled!

As we know, it's not possible to flag upvoted posts as "very low quality", or vote-to-close as "belongs on another site" if the question is too old, but the system doesn't actually tell us that. If we have already voted to close a question, we see that in the close dialog. Even "already raised t...

Writing a meta Q for you.

TildalWave

@FEichinger hehe thanks!

FEichinger

Nah, I'm up because I've been busy with a small project for the past few hours.

TildalWave

oww you linked to here ... hi meta girls and guys! I'm actually a nice guy otherwise, just a bit naggy early in the morning and before my first coffee :))

FEichinger

Teeheehee.

Timing.

@FEichinger it's OK, if you weren't here I'd annoy someone over at TL with it :)

So a friend just posted this onto facebook: imgur.com/gallery/GV71l

It spawned a new idea in my mind. I've seen rainmeter stuff where they can grab information and give you statistics on your desktop but what if someone made a little app that downloaded an image from a server and set it as your desktop every x number of minutes. With those dumps alone if set at 1 minute you could have a unique wallpaper all the time

*edit 1 new wallpaper every 10 mins would last you almost a year just off those dumps.

Adnan

@Griffin Actually, that would be almost 35 days.

Griffin

@Adnan For 10 mins each?

Adnan

@Griffin Oh. I read it 1 minute. Apologies.

Griffin

@Adnan You read correctly the first time I said it but then I thought that what I said wasn't right and did an edit.

@Adnan My fault for the confusion

Adnan

@Griffin Also, that application already exists. lifehacker.com/5885032/the-best-wallpaper-manager-for-windows/…

Griffin

2:00 PM

@Adnan Thanks for the heads up. I thought it was a cool idea and I'm glad to see someone has already implemented it.

TheRookierLearner

Gm everyone!

Griffin

@TheRookierLearner Good morning to you too sir.

TheRookierLearner

Ya, but rainmeter offers tons of customizations as compared to any other app out there.

A: Encrypting with Mongo

SSL - To encrypt data in motion you need to use SSL. You need a special build of mongodb to enable SSL Encrypt data at rest - You can use volume encryption technologies like LUKS. Then your backups are encrypted as well if you use snapshots. At MongoDirector.com we can setup both SSL and disk ...

AviD

@TildalWave why? Does his post not answer the question? did he conceal his affiliation?

I would say a small edit + comment would be enough. though OTH other answers there are more spammy....

TildalWave

8:08 PM

@AviD question is about mongodb, not some "special build of mongodb" isn't it?

AviD

@TildalWave well thats the answer then....

and since mongodb is ostensibly opensource, I dont see how its even a big difference.

TildalWave

@AviD because that special build is a service that you pay for and is no longer open source and free?

AviD

@TildalWave ah, is that what he meant?

TildalWave

@AviD well, it's a bit like q:how do I encrypt something? a:you pay for my service and we'll do it for you

AviD

@TildalWave oh, didnt catch thats what he meant.

nevermind then.

TildalWave

8:11 PM

it's ok

AviD

this is why I dont moderate when my mind is elsewhere.

@tylerl that's what I meant, rep lost as in rep you didn't - but should have - gained. Anything past the repcap.

A: Does hashing a PRNG make it cryptographically secure?
