recaptcha isn't working. DNSBLs aren't working. |
| 01:16 |
eMBee |
what about captchas that make you do smarter things like math, or answering questions |
| 01:17 |
mikemol |
Also doesn't help that RC's MW install is out of date at this point. |
| 01:17 |
mikemol |
I really need to get that updated. |
| 01:17 |
eMBee |
questions could be: make a list from 1 to 3 in python :-) |
| 01:17 |
mikemol |
Damnit. I just don't have time to even maintain the server any more. |
| 01:18 |
eMBee |
:-( |
| 01:18 |
eMBee |
new job keeping you busy? |

have you considered asking for volunteers to help? |
| 01:23 |
mikemol |
It was like that for about six months. That, househunting, family medical issues, moving, fixing up a house that was prettier on the surface, jobhunting, scraping together enough part-time contracting work (that doesn't require moving) to prepare for taxes. |

Well, the transition from busy job to jobhunting happened early january. |
| 01:25 |
mikemol |
eMBee: I do pull in volunteers from time to time. BenBE keeps GeSHi up-to-date. Coderjoe handles server crises if I can't get to it in a timely manner. |
| 01:25 |
mikemol |
But for maintenance, I haven't pulled anyone in. |
| 01:28 |
mikemol |
RC needs at least a couple things at this point: |
| 01:29 |
mikemol |
1) decent automated backup. I've had that set up in the past, but chaos in my home network from time to time breaks whatever I set up. |
| 01:31 |
mikemol |
2) Backup server stack |
| 01:38 |
eMBee |
well, maybe it's time to find help in that area. |
| 01:41 |
mikemol |
I'm keeping the packages updated pretty easily; the server emails me every time there's an update available...but MediaWiki (and the extensions installed) aren't packaged, so don't get updates so easily. (Not to mention schema updates) |
| 01:41 |
mikemol |
Indeed. |
| 01:42 |
eMBee |
so you'd specifically need help maintaining mediawiki... |
| 01:43 |
mikemol |
At the moment, that's the thing. |
| 01:43 |
mikemol |
Although not terribly long from now, it'll be time to do another server migration for an OS update. |
| 01:46 |
* eMBee |
knows about that one. got one server stuck in the past. fortunately my collegue is going to migrate and upgrade this week finally |
| 01:46 |
mikemol |
MediaWiki updates are pretty easy, actually. |
| 01:46 |
mikemol |
Copy localsettings.php to a temporary place, unpack the new tarball in place, copy localsettings.php back and run the schema-update script. |
| 01:47 |
eMBee |
still, someone's got to do it, and that's easier if you don't have lots of other things on your mind |
| 01:48 |
mikemol |
It's the CYA before and after the upgrade that's the time-consuming PITA. |
| 01:49 |
eMBee |
CYA? |
| 01:49 |

Local backup, ability to roll back if something goes south. |

Some men just want to watch the world burn... |

In particular, I'm thinking of the jerks who are actively monitoring and manually adapting their spammer scripts to RC's specific configurations. |
| 20:15 |
mikemol |
I wonder what DNSBLs exist for indexing IP ranges managed by hosting providers. Hosting provider IP addresses should not be creating accounts. |
