EVALUATING
Cargo and Page Forms Considering mw:Extension:Cargo and mw:Extension:Page Forms for structured data in-wiki for SSFWIKI. Other alternative would be mw:Wikibase.
The case of SSFWIKI is much simpler whereas Consumerium's case is very complicated to start with because of the vast interoperability demands for the knowledge graphs. In SSFWIKI I would use Cargo mostly for storing metadata about outgoing links and generate user friendly lists from those.
Yaron Koren wrote Cargo and he has also written the 'Working with MediaWiki book at workingwithmediawiki.com. In the book the relevant parts are found in Chapter 16 - Cargo and Semantic MediaWiki and Chapter 17 - Page Forms.
The experience from setting up a simpler case would help me learn how it would be possible to solve the things that Consumerium needs to function.

Some problem with image thumbnailing noticed
Last night I uploaded some images and noticed that the thumbnailing system is not working as it should. Looking at Special:ListFiles I notice that if the images are small enough, they do not meet the thumnailing criteria (maybe). This is probably some software component failing silently i.e. without throwing an error message. I have reached out for help in irc. The other wikis are working fine, but they are on a completely different server.
Making, verifying and stashing backups and taking a snapshot
Going to make backups and also take a snapshot, while waiting for some help or some realization of what is wrong, how did it go wrong and how to fix it.

Made and verified backups
Additionally took an interim snapshot of the system disk. diaspora* was upgraded to 0.7.17.0
Friday 2022-04-08
Made and verified backups
Done. I'm thinking of improving the backupping system in a few ways.
Friday 2022-04-01
Upgraded MediaWiki to 1.35.6
- Upgrade complete. No downtime. Going to snapshot the system disk and make new backups.
Made and verified backups in preparation for upgrade
Made and verified backups in preparation for upgrade of the MediaWikis. Going to snapshot the system disk now and then move on to upgrading the wikis. Negligible downtime of services expected.

Made and verified backups and took a snapshot
- Preparing to upgrade the diaspora* pod to 0.7.16.0 very shortly. Made backups of all servers to coincide.
Wednesday 2022-02-02
- Started considering mw:Extension:Cargo and mw:Extension:Page Forms. Initially for the simpler case of SSFWIKI, but maybe it could eventually even power Consumerium.
