I thought I could easily edit the bracket and make adjustments but that turned out not to be the case AT ALL. This was the base I planned to work on, but then couldn't really make any changes:

(Note it's dated before the start of the World Cup.)

I take no credit for that, as it's basically what the Opta Analyst guys said.

You guys seem to be underestimating the "local" factor for Canada and USA.

Quote from: Danihel Txechescu on June 02, 2026, 02:58:10 PMI believe you have to go to https://auth.talossa.com/ and enter those credentials there. In there, you can go to Settings -> Change your password.

I've gone to settings and preferences and clicked on every option and no where is there an option to change a password.

There's no Preferences there. The link is: https://auth.talossa.com/

Once logged in, in the cog, top and right, there's a button at the bottom that says: "Change password" in the "User details" section.

I believe you have to go to https://auth.talossa.com/ and enter those credentials there. In there, you can go to Settings -> Change your password.

I'll be taking care of  this one.

My friend's kiddo apparently has the Guinness World Record for the most pi digits recalled in 1 minute: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2025/3/3-14-and-counting-10-year-old-breaks-record-for-most-decimal-pi-digits-recalled

If we're adding implinds in this thread, add mine: Pol Txechescu. Can confirm the other two.

To Do List

• Remove audio noise.

Which noise? I mix very often and did not find anything that would bother me.

ETA: There's something at the very beginning that kind of sounds like compensation for a vocal compressor, like auto leveling loudness.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on February 12, 2026, 01:11:29 PMI don't think you need any kind of license to do broadcast "radio" over the Internet.

It sounds to me like you do. The name RIAA comes to mind whenever touching on these subjects. In any case I think there are providers for radio stations that pay these fees for you and also give you a streaming platform, so that you only focus on the music and programs.

Spanish (native), English (work), Italian (certified B2).

I formally studied (5 years spread in) French, Arabic, and Korean, and spent at least a semester doing Hebrew, German, and Esperanto each. That must have been a lifetime ago, as I can now barely read Arabic and Korean. Funnily enough, I think I can read modern Greek even if I don't know any.

2.6.7.1 Any Talossan citizen living in another country can petition the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to establish an embassy in the country of their residence.
such as
Bråneu Excelsio Monterrey, Nuevo León. Mexico
[...]

Sadly, that Embassy closed in 2024. CC: @Bråneu Excelsio, UrN.

Linux From Scratch builder here. These days most of my machines/servers are Debian/Ubuntu. Sadly, the few remaining Gentoo servers I had had been decommissioned, but those were a joy.

I generally shuffle my Likes or listen to what YT Music mixes out of that, but today I'm listening to these guys: Temple Of The Dog, https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCgf3d2y9zlw2QvY7OlFt6uw

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 21, 2026, 08:34:53 AMDoes it have audiobooks and podcasts?

I don't know myself, but the search bar says: "Search songs, albums, artists, podcasts".

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 21, 2026, 06:36:21 AMMan, I've been trying to make the switch from Spotify to something else, but TidaL is just not cutting it.  *sigh*

My family is big on YouTube Music. We grandfathered some benefits from Google Music into YouTube Red (now Premium), and to me this bundle is totally worth it.

I'm afraid I know very little about the Wiki, I don't know how to do that.
