Juho [[recycling|recycle]]s [[paper]], [[carton]]s, [[glass]], [[metal]]s, [[plastic]]s and [[biowaste]]. Juho also writes articles in [[Wikipedia]], especially those relevant to [[Consumerium:Itself|Consumerium]] [[goals]] that have a significance for other folk too. Lately I've enjoyed editing [[Wikivoyage]]. I have done some [[Wiktionary]] edits back in the day. I live in Helsinki, Finland.

So I'm thinking to move as follows:
# Configuring a [[mw:Manual:Wiki family]] where all the wikis share the same Mediawiki installation so instead of needing to upgrade N wikis we need to upgrade only one. This is in preparation for making en.consumerium.org/wiki/
# [[mw:Manual:Shared database]] as that allows single login for a wiki family if one sets the $wgCookieDomain.
# Figuring out how to draw information from [[Wikidata]]
# Installing [[Wikibase]] repository and client on the enconsuwiki and the client on all future language versions of [[Consumerium]].


* [[mw:Manual:SessionManager and AuthManager]]. SessionManager enables alternatives to PHP's session management and AuthManager may be useful because it provides new user account creation from information from authentication by the 3rd party.

* A few outages today due to trying to install Wikibase Client Extension so that it would access the [[Wikidata]] repository. This turns out to be impossible at the moment. Restored the wiki back to a working state from few hour old backup twice. Wikidata does have dumps so next logical thought is "Can we mirror it?".

* Letsencrypt.org is [https://letsencrypt.org/upcoming-features/ currently projecting a 2018-02-27 launch date for the wildcard certificates]. It may be prudent to just make do with the unencrypted wiki until we can get a wildcard certificate which should make the management and adding wikis easier than individual certificates for each wiki. For the certificate renewal automation to work something needs to be done to how traffic landing on consumerium.org is dealt with. Currently the VirtualHost does a "permanent redirect" on all traffic coming to consumerium.org which is a problem since the ACME challenge that the Certbot needs to do to authenticate ownership of domain will not work with the current arrangement.

* And why is no-one developing a car where alarms/doors/ignition can be locked/unlocked using Bluetooth? Think of the dynamics this would add to [[w:Car sharing]] and rentals even leasing and back-leasing and owning cars fusing all of previous much closer  (Time limited car keys, disposable car keys...). If Bluetooth became an industry standard in car locking it would seriously reduce the urge to own one in places where [[w:public transport]] is feasible.

Migration to new server seems to have otherwise been a success but the NOCAPTCHA is slightly broken. Looking into it now. [[User:Jukeboksi|Jukeboksi]] ([[User talk:Jukeboksi|talk]]) 20:52, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Today I configured the [[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount]] to be minimally annoying i.e. It asks a person requesting an account only for user name, email address and a short message. Previously it required "Real Name" (and we've never had a "require real names" rule or guideline).  
* Why we have so few [[strange articles]]..?


Testing that it works I needed to solve the NO[[CAPTCHA]] many times and noticed how annoying and time consuming it is. This is hindering participation and a good strategy to minimize the annoyance caused by spambots while maintaining also minimum annoyance for genuine contributors.

* The server's clock had drifted to 13 minutes in the future and that is now fixed. For me the wiki is one hour in the future right now but this may be due to my preferences. I am planning to migrate the wiki to the new Debian 9 server this weekend. That server has NTP enabled so there should be no incorrect time over there.

* [[mw:Wikibase|Wikibase]] enables a wiki to act as a structured data system like [[Wikidata]] does for the [[Wikimedia]] [[wiki]]s. I am looking into what is the best arrangement to install this, a dedicated wiki or as part of the English language [[Consumerium]].org implementation wiki.

Revision as of 09:46, 2 February 2019

This is me.

Juho Kunsola, Founder of Consumerium.org, a geek with a difference, an academic CS drop-out, in Finland.

Juho recycles paper, cartons, glass, metals, plastics and biowaste. Juho also writes articles in Wikipedia, especially those relevant to Consumerium goals that have a significance for other folk too. Lately I've enjoyed editing Wikivoyage. I have done some Wiktionary edits back in the day. I live in Helsinki, Finland.
