[03:47:07] will do [03:47:32] translated updater [04:59:36] ty [05:03:14] Again, no answer at all? I'm really starting to worry at this point. I have no backup of the Wiki myself and given that my requests are ignored for more than a week now I am really worried the work of the community is lost. People keep asking me when the Wiki will be back, but I have no clue myself. This is really strange... [05:06:25] [1/2] be patient, we are all volunteers and some of us are busy and can't respond timely [05:06:25] [2/2] as Agent said before, even when the wikis on WikiTide are disabled, dumps of the wikis will still be available to download [05:07:28] [05:09:25] I am patient and all... And I understand the whole volunteer thing. Still, the migration is not handled very well... If the wikis are offline for more than a week without any answer to a request. This does not plant trust in the whole organisation. [05:13:16] [1/2] I don't have a lot of insight into the whole Miraheze thing but to me it seems there is something structurally off. When I first tried to open the said Wiki I first tried to open it here. But then, even after a week it was not possible to get an account with full rights on this new Wiki due to a bug that would not be fixed in a timely manner. Eventually, I decided to head over to Wi [05:13:16] [2/2] kiTide. There everything was working within minutes. And when there were problems, they would be fixed immediately after giving notice. So, in fact, I was a little bit worried when I read that everything would be migrated over to Miraheze. And now, here we are back at square one. It's not working 😉 [05:30:38] What things can I do to improve SEO/CRT [05:35:52] [[User:NotAracham/WikiSEO - Improving Search Ranking]] [05:35:52] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:NotAracham/WikiSEO_-_Improving_Search_Ranking [05:35:53]

[10:41:23] Guess it's time to accellerate cloudflare research [10:41:29] hah [10:41:50] It is but doing so would break custom domains and it'd be a departure from our approach of a self-hosted CDN [10:41:56] up to @cosmicalpha as well [10:42:01] I see [10:42:07] Self hosted cdn oh well [10:42:23] I supposed it would also require whitelisting the API endpoints for each wiki [10:42:28] CD is unfortunate [10:42:56] Ponder, if Miraheze had a phone CS department like PayPal 🙂 [10:43:04] no [10:43:07] ? [10:43:33] huh [10:44:38] You do seem to be having a lot of DDoS probkems [10:46:44] cp51 seems to still be facing lots of traffic [10:46:59] Whats on cp51? [10:48:01] cp51 services Oceania and is a fail over for Asia [10:48:28] Are you ever worried that black hat hackers will ever try and hack Miraheze? [10:49:43] It's a possibility with every org and if they really want to, they can probably find a few bugs to exploit in MediaWiki but we try to secure everything as best as we can [10:50:39] My network infrastructure has been exposed online and under attack for months😂 [11:36:21] I hope among all the DDoS issues somebody will have time to look into setting up a redirect for us: https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12049 [13:31:56] [1/2] [[Steward_requests/Permissions]] [13:31:56] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions [13:31:56] [2/2] Implemented RFXHelper [13:31:57]
