[12:21:24] > Your IP address has been blocked on all wikis. The block was made by Jon Kolbert (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open proxy. [12:21:24] Since when is wikipedia blocking tor users from contributing?! 💢 [12:24:46] M6piz7wk[m]: see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/No_open_proxies and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IP_block_exempt [12:24:50] Are you using a VPN? Your current IP here on Freenode suggests you are using one from HurricaneElectric [12:24:53] er [12:24:55] omfg [12:25:04] I mean Libera [12:25:05] LOL [12:25:05] Bsadowski1: matrix bridge [12:25:31] Wow, I am sorry. I have to get used to this network name after 15 years of using the other [12:25:56] The no open proxy policy makes no sense and is infuriating.. there are legitimate tor users that contribute to the wikipedia like me 💢 [12:26:58] instead of supporting censorship you should consider deploying an onion service to ensure that the connection to wiki is as secure as possible [12:27:45] Unfortunately, bad actors make it like that. [12:28:02] there are bad actors on clearweb as well [12:28:05] Sockpuppeteers and long-term abusers abuse ranges and spambots as well [12:28:14] and there are accounts for a reason to do vandalism management [12:28:50] If you want to use your VPNs for Wikipedia, then please request IP block exemption on Meta [12:29:04] I'd gladly add it to your account [12:29:10] it's not VPN it's onion routing [12:29:22] Whatever it might be that you are using a proxy... [12:29:25] i can't request it because it doesn't allow me to sent the request [12:29:30] account Kreyren [12:29:33] k [12:29:57] Bsadowski1: not a proxy.. onion routing.. huge difference [12:30:23] It is technically a proxy in a sense. [12:30:43] It is proxying data through one IP is it not? [12:30:48] :P [12:32:55] and if what open-proxies do to wikipedia is a concern then deploying onion service for wiki enables tor users to skip the last node and connect directly to the server [12:32:55] i guess it could be described as proxy with multilayer encryption and it's own internet format, but onion-routing is better term to avoid confusion [12:32:55] which is installing tor and then writting 3 lines in it's config [12:52:33] Bsadowski1: So are you going to add me to the exemption? [12:55:39] You'll have to request it [12:55:49] how [12:56:16] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global_permissions#Requests_for_global_IP_block_exemption [12:58:04] Doesn't allow me to: https://i.imgur.com/2Am48Ng.png [12:59:29] oh to stewardswikimedia.org [12:59:55] Oh I see. Please email us at stewards@wikimedia.org :) Include the IP address that you saw on it, username, and the reason [13:36:12] "Oh I see. Please email us at..." <- My IP address changes on random intervals do you still want that? [13:36:27] (both locally and over onion-routing) [13:51:23] email sent from kreyren@rixotstudio.cz [14:00:53] Bsadowski1: ^ [14:54:10] How long does it even take to be added on the exemption anyway >.> [16:38:09] Can someone remind me which page on mediawiki.org allows you to register to be added to gerrit code reviews based on git repo and regex patterns? [16:38:32] bd808: [[Git/Reviewers]] [16:38:44] That page needs so much cruft removing [16:39:05] thanks majavah! I was looking all over under Gerrit/... [18:20:02] are cross-wiki notifications working for everyone else? I filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T296270 yesterday but don't know if it's just me or people haven't noticed [18:20:22] I noticed but couldn’t be bothered to complain about it yet [18:20:31] but I don’t think it’s just you [18:25:30] thanks for confirming [18:26:00] there is a non-zero chance I'm also the one who broke it so I'll start digging into it... [19:16:14] (it was not me :)) kostajh figured it out, a revert is on its way [19:20:35] \o/ [19:20:49] thank you both!
