According to https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Consumerium this Development Wiki currently has 54599 users, which is sorta bizarre since I haven't seen humans in a long time. According to http://podupti.me/ https://d.consumium.org Diapsora* pod has an uptime of 100%, 0 users and is almost 1 yr old. On Diaspora* it's possible to interact with humans. Here it's just The /on/troll, it's friends who are also into composing ramblings and the Lowest Troll --Juboxi (talk) 21:44, 28 May 2014 (EEST)

Cleaning the search bot feeding trays again. Makes mental note to get on with installing a harder captcha. --Juboxi (talk) 21:37, 28 May 2014 (EEST)

Cancel the fuzz about GNU MediaGoblin as the replacement for youtube, flickr, soundcloud etc. The real replacement is naturally MaidSafe. The people behind this endeavour to build a radically different distributed network with new features. The people behind the Ltd entity that exists for the MaidSafe effort has donated all w:patents and code to the human kind. --Juboxi (talk) 20:01, 28 May 2014 (EEST)

The w:CAPTCHA is still shit... Appologies about that around.. my bad, not taking care of arms race against the machines, a child could code a 2-bit bot that'd solve it. My 2nd year in business school has kept me busy, or so I keep telling people. w:reCAPTCHA is one of the best classical CAPTCHAS so I install that at some date. I try to get it done this summer. --Juboxi (talk) 19:55, 28 May 2014 (EEST)

Major question: How to determine if party X is human or machine? without resorting to does it have an email, does it have a Diaspora*, Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to prove there is an actual person there behind that voter id? --Juboxi (talk) 19:51, 28 May 2014 (EEST)

Cleaned the search bot feeding trays a few days ago. These new spammers are likely a different party then the one behind The /on/troll aka. User talk:Maksimchebrukov2018. The bots are getting better and better at writing rambling semi-inspirational semi-stories. --Juboxi (talk) 19:48, 28 May 2014 (EEST)

Nope. Not doing anything about the search bot feed spam today. . --Juboxi (talk) 16:48, 7 May 2014 (EEST)

Will proceed to remove the spam. Tomorrow I have a day off school and in the evening we're going to the Manics gig. So might as well get the spam issue sorted before the gig. --Juboxi (talk) 23:10, 6 May 2014 (EEST)

The wiki was down briefly due to a broken objectcache table but this has now been fixed with help from #mediawiki. --Juboxi (talk) 23:08, 6 May 2014 (EEST)

According to https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Consumerium this wiki has 32k+ users, out of which maybe 150 are real people and the rest are bots. An issue that is going to need to be issued is how to find out if purported user X is human or machine? Note to self: Install w:ReCAPTCHA --Juboxi (talk) 00:12, 12 March 2014 (EET)

Seems there is a new link spammer around. It registers user accounts and adds single spam link into it's imaginary user-page about itself. User talk:Maksimchebrukov2018 being the old linkspammer with it's so detectable ways. --Juboxi (talk) 23:59, 11 March 2014 (EET)

TODO: Completely zap the old Windooze with malware from previous owner of the Win7 machine and install fresh Windows7 from the 2.6GB .iso file I downloaded completely legally. --Juboxi (talk) 21:49, 10 March 2014 (EET)

w:Git is teh brokeh on the production server so it looks like jubo-jubo is going to need to do another migration to Debian 7.4 server that currently holds just backups, at least for the c.consumium.org/wiki/, prlly make more sense to migrate the other sites and use this current machine only for holding backups --Juboxi (talk) 21:46, 10 March 2014 (EET)

So about 5 days of not doing the chore and the thing took under 10 minutes to correct.. it took mere few minutes for me to actually do the thing instead of worrying about doing. --Juboxi (talk) 16:14, 9 January 2014 (EET)

Note to self. How about more focus on getting stuff implemented?

We can source from Wikidata and DBpedia if someone, you?, writes the required glue code, When the server has boring time it can go compare the datas. --Juboxi (talk) 15:23, 9 January 2014 (EET)

The clock is off. sorted the clock issue by telling date to add 10 minutes and 30 seconds so that means I spent way under 10 minutes doing the actual chore of putting the server's off-clock back into time.

so how about you reremember how to use the 'date' command and feeding a string to modify the system date time.. oui? can has? and come backs and strike out the above text and add text that the time is no longer badly off. --Juboxi (talk) 15:48, 9 January 2014 (EET)

Within few seconds of the other Linux machine's clock now. UTC+2 16:07 n'est pas? --Juboxi (talk) 16:07, 9 January 2014 (EET)

Obviously needs a way to read all relevant templates in Wikipedia into database, either via DBpedia or Wikidata and in the longer term try to build support for both as sources of datafeed.

Been occupied by failure in Debian6 -> Debian7 upgrade on a non-critical netbook. Everything crucial was backupped. Installed the new clean Debian7 on a 40GB file system I got from clearing an old Ubuntu and leaving the old Debian6 and Win7 disks intact. The only use besides holding written work is to verify that the mysqldump dumps actually work. Gonna work on restoring that tomorrow

Happy new year people!

To choose correct MediaWiki/Extensions and formulate correct templates is crucial to not doing a bad job at moving to implementation phase ( c.consumium.org ).

Trying to get the SSL to work ... not much success
