• Bought a new VPS from Hetzner Online AG into their Helsinki DC. The advantages of the new server are that there is substantially more RAM and the disk is also bigger and it is blazing fast NVMe and not HDD, like at the old hosting guys. Will migrate all Consumerium wikis and sites soon-ish. Jukeboksi (talk) 21:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

• Consumium free social media instances are now migrated from the old virtual server in Netherlands to a new virtual server in Germany. Cost of running them went substantially down and resources went up. The only negative thing about the new server is that the hosting company does not use renewable electricity, but the fact that the data center has ground water cooling mitigates this a bit as it saves a lot of electricity.

• If someone else is wondering about a few edits happening which show a difference of few bytes negative in the Recent Changes, but when you click the diff it says that there is no difference: I was naturally worried when I saw the first occurrence of this and asked around in #mediawiki and the explanation is that around Mediawiki version 1.10 the line termination characters were reformed and thus these weird edits can happen when someone edits an article in a way that replaces the old line termination character with the new, shorter, ones and then Recent Changes sees a difference in the size, but the diff does not look at how the lines are terminated and concludes that nothing has been changed.

• I'm soon going to set up ssh agent forwarding as explained very clearly here. This allows for fully automated backupping procedures that can be run regularly by a cronjob on my local machine if I also set up keychain while avoiding the perils of having non-passphrase-protected keys on any servers.

• Facebook did not originally grant a short handle for Consumerium.org, but today it offered the possibility to create one, so now the Facebook page can be found with an easy to remember URL https://www.facebook.com/ConsumeriumORG/ Jukeboksi (talk) 14:23, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

• Upgraded this wiki and the Test wiki (the only 2 members of a wiki family) to the latest stable Mediawiki (Release notes for 1.32). There was some trouble when upgrading the test wiki with 'php update.php --wiki=testwiki' exited with an error stating that the updater tried to update the wrong database (!), but after banging my head at the keyboard for a while I figured out this may be due to the test wiki sharing some tables from this development wiki and that indeed was the case. After I commented out the shared tables in LocalSettings.php the upgrade run just fine. Jukeboksi (talk) 21:21, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
• Upgraded my semi-private study wiki to latest stable Mediawiki (1.32.0) and now proceeding to do the same for this development wiki. Downtime of maximum of few minutes expected. Jukeboksi (talk) 18:53, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
• Extensions of Wordpressen at https://consumerium.org and https://kuluttajisto.consumerium.org updated. Jukeboksi (talk) 13:05, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
• Apologies for the fact that the email sending system is broken. Probably due to that it uses encrypted connection to the SMTP-server with authentication and I (probably) changed the password and forgot to update it in LocalSettings.php. I will work to fix this issue today. Jukeboksi (talk) 12:44, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

UPDATE: Email issue resolved and email is now working as expected. Once again sorry about that it was broken (by me). Jukeboksi (talk) 12:50, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
