[12:29:08] <Guest48>	 Hello, may I ask how to unlock the ban on the issue. I come from Chinese Mainland and can only use IP software. I want to lift the ban. Thank you.
[13:49:27] <Guest48>	 Hello, may I ask how to lift the IP ban. I am from Chinese Mainland and can only log in using virtual IP. I want to lift the ban, thank you.
[15:32:40] <Lucas_WMDE>	 how can I find out whether my gitlab account is locked or not?
[15:32:59] <Lucas_WMDE>	 I’m now getting a banner “New accounts require admin approval. You can file an account unlock request to expedite access.”, but I have no idea whether I really need to do that or the banner is just shown to everyone
[15:33:09] <Lucas_WMDE>	 (my account already existed before the migration a few days ago)
[15:33:54] <taavi>	 it's shown for everyone..
[15:34:10] <Lucas_WMDE>	 ok thanks
[15:54:33] <bd808>	 Lucas_WMDE: It sounds like you are all set, but for others in the room that might have the same question one way to check would be to try and create a new repo in your user space using <https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/projects/new#blank_project>
[15:55:45] <Lucas_WMDE>	 thanks!
[17:59:10] <TheresNoTime>	 (good a channel as any to ask..) Although I wasn't able to attend GPN this year, I got a ticket and *will* be at https://events.ccc.de/camp/2023/infos — what'd be the best place to try to organise with any other wikimedia/mediawiki folx who are going?
[18:15:51] <RhinosF1>	 TheresNoTime: that looks cool
[18:15:58] <RhinosF1>	 Sadly I'm already away then
[20:29:33] <perryprog>	 Hey, I'm looking at a VRT ticket from a person asking if the Portal API is working or not, with a link to https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AppManagement
[20:30:36] <perryprog>	 I'm not entirely familiar with the API Portal (read: I know nuffin') so I'm trying to figure out if anything there is /supposed/ to be working, but was wondering if anyone had a quick answer.
[20:30:43] <perryprog>	 Otherwise I'll throw them at wikitech-l.
[20:33:24] <RhinosF1>	 Hnowlan is on PTO and he's the only one from that team I think that uses irc
[20:33:35] <RhinosF1>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Platform_Engineering_Team/API_Value_Stream
[20:33:59] <RhinosF1>	 Oh no
[20:33:59] <perryprog>	 hmmm
[20:34:03] <RhinosF1>	 Others just quiet
[20:34:12] <RhinosF1>	 bpirkle, apaskulin: ^
[20:35:12] <perryprog>	 My suspicion is it's someone who wanted to do An API Thing but went down the wrong trail of links and thinks this is the normal Wikimedia API?
[20:35:23] <apaskulin>	 hi! I'm happy to try and help. Can you link me to the ticket?
[20:35:38] <RhinosF1>	 apaskulin: it's a VTRS one not a phab one
[20:35:51] <RhinosF1>	 Just making sure you have that
[20:36:15] <perryprog>	 apaskulin I can forward it to you too :)
[20:36:26] <RhinosF1>	 That's a good idea
[20:36:27] <apaskulin>	 yes please! I'm apaskulin@wikimedia.org
[20:38:02] <perryprog>	 Sent. I was about to ping you but was like "naahhhh idle for 1 month 20 days". Thanks for doing so anyway RhinosF1 :P
[20:39:03] <RhinosF1>	 Yeah I thought I've not seen either of them in a while but what harm could it do
[20:39:21] <apaskulin>	 Thanks, Perry and RhinosF1! It's true I tend to mostly lurk here :D
[20:40:04] <RhinosF1>	 Most WMF teams moved internal stuff to slack didn't you
[20:40:28] <apaskulin>	 It's true :(
[20:40:55] <apaskulin>	 Oh nice! I messaged with this user via talk page earlier in the week and their problem fixed itself https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Documentation/Getting_started/Authentication#Access_Token_API
[20:41:32] <RhinosF1>	 My work think slack are the next best thing
[20:41:52] <perryprog>	 Oh nice!
[20:42:03] <RhinosF1>	 Somehow in our amazing way I've ended up with 2 slack accounts and an extra email
[20:42:11] <perryprog>	 ... only two?
[20:42:19] <perryprog>	 Rookie numbers.
[20:42:34] <RhinosF1>	 perryprog: I've only been using slack at work a week
[20:42:39] <RhinosF1>	 Or 2
[20:42:43] <perryprog>	 Pump those numbers up
[20:42:59] <RhinosF1>	 You've got to give digital time to come up with strange ideas
[20:43:15] <RhinosF1>	 I have 3 work emails though
[20:43:47] <RhinosF1>	 And I can only add 1 to outlook desktop
[20:44:10] <RhinosF1>	 Plus another account with just sharepoint on
[20:46:18] <RhinosF1>	 perryprog: how many slack workspaces you got
[20:47:05] <perryprog>	 Slack workspaces? Let me check... 14+ on one of my emails
[20:49:18] <RhinosF1>	 perryprog: knowing my work I'd need 14 emails for that
[20:49:44] <RhinosF1>	 Someone creating one of our slack accounts decided they'd use google for SSO
[20:49:50] <RhinosF1>	 Rather than our own SSO system
[20:49:56] <RhinosF1>	 Or Microsoft
[20:50:07] <RhinosF1>	 We already had 2 SSO systems
[20:50:15] <RhinosF1>	 Might as well invent a third
[20:52:10] <RhinosF1>	 Despite the fact that the system we discuss on that workspace is backed by azure
[20:52:22] <RhinosF1>	 So yes we have a google account to login to azure
