[04:36:31] <wm-bb>	 <Subhash> Hello
[04:45:59] <wm-bb>	 <Subhash> hi
[04:46:10] <wm-bb>	 <Subhash> anybody else
[05:21:02] <wm-bb>	 <responsivecat> This is not the place to ask but

[05:27:18] <wm-bb>	 <Subhash> Thank you (re @responsivecat: This is not the place to ask but

[11:26:26] <wm-bb>	 <responsivecat> hello all, can anyone help me with tagging relevant people or projects for T384803
[12:43:26] <andrewbogott>	 If it's a toolforge proxy issue you can just tag it with toolforge
[19:26:11] <inflatador>	 if I rename an existing wmcs server with `openstack server set name=foo`, will that change propagate to dns?
[19:46:28] <inflatador>	 looks like no...which is not a big deal
[20:01:56] <andrewbogott>	 inflatador: there's little chance that anything good will result from doing that :)  It for sure won't update dns
[20:11:35] <andrewbogott>	 anyone know/know of toolforge user 'Reticulated Spline'?
[20:19:36] <andrewbogott>	 bd808: stashbot is failing to talk to ldap although I don't see ldap issues elsewhere so far...
[20:20:10] <andrewbogott>	 is this familiar?
[20:20:14] <andrewbogott>	 https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/K3om1XUG/
[20:21:46] <bd808>	 andrewbogott: that looks like the LDAP server cronned restart maybe?
[20:22:08] <andrewbogott>	 it's been happening for a while though, more than just a bounce
[20:23:37] <bd808>	 "session terminated by server" doesn't sound like a problem in Striker's python code, but I guess it could be some kind of new OOM or something being triggered on the LDAP side.
[20:24:10] <andrewbogott>	 what's the proper way to force a restart? Should start there
[20:24:42] * andrewbogott does what the readme says
[20:24:53] <bd808>	 stop and start the the systemd service for the docker container it runs in. I don't remember the unit name
[20:25:59] <andrewbogott>	 stashbot, how's it going?
[20:25:59] <stashbot>	 See https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tool:Stashbot for help.
[20:26:09] <andrewbogott>	 welp
[20:26:45] <bd808>	 oh... why did I read what you said as Striker and not Stashbot? brain not braining well
[20:27:14] <andrewbogott>	 and yet you still proved a useful duck
[20:27:47] <bd808>	 "session terminated by server" in stashbot would make me think about the seemingly random network things we have seen on and off
[20:28:39] <andrewbogott>	 yeah. I still don't understand how any one tool can fail multiple retries without every tool screaming and alert manager turning into a christmas tree
[20:30:56] <bd808>	 its a fine question. for one off failures it makes me think of NAT and state tracking getting messed up. for repeated failures of the same tool that seems a bit less likely though.
[20:34:36] <bd808>	 andrewbogott: for your earlier question about user Reticulated Spline, I feel down a rabbit hole starting from https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Reticulated_Spline -> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special%3ACentralAuth%2FReticulated_Spline -> https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Richard0612&redirect=no -> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Firefly
[20:35:33] <bd808>	 GUC says they last edited enwiki in November
[20:43:43] <andrewbogott>	 how did you get from... oh, I see
[20:44:07] <andrewbogott>	 well that explains why I couldn't find them on enwiki
[20:44:12] <andrewbogott>	 I will post on their talk page, thank you!
[20:54:19] <bd808>	 I did some other trace the renamed user across 1-N renames over the weekend for the Wikitech SUL migration. It would be nice to find a less manual way to do it. (Free tool idea y'all!)
[20:55:37] <bd808>	 In theory there are MediaWiki log events anytime a rename happens, but finding those rename events programmatically so far does not seem to be known process
[20:57:41] <andrewbogott>	 A real emotional rollercoaster for that user, yesterday a barnstar and today grumpy me telling them I broke their tool
[21:00:38] <inflatador>	 andrewbogott ACK, I went ahead and deleted/recreated the VM
[21:09:10] <bd808>	 andrewbogott: heh. I would nearly guarantee that a decompresses XML dump from November 2014 is abandoned junk in that tool's $HOME.
[21:09:28] <andrewbogott>	 yes, almost certainly
[21:10:03] <andrewbogott>	 but I started to worry that they were doing some kind of sophisticated long-running progress diff between recent and ancient dumps and was reluctant to just rm it
[21:11:59] * bd808 disappears back into his "sprinthackular" project
[21:20:04] <inflatador>	 Apropos of nothing, "reticulate-splines.py" was the script we ran at my old job to complete tear down and rebuild misbehaving hypervisors
[21:39:01] <andrewbogott>	 huh
[21:51:39] <inflatador>	 it's a reference to the original SimCity 
[21:52:12] <inflatador>	 instead of "loading..." it said "reticulating splines..."
