Done inputting the known [[price comparison services]].
Going to need a simple database to hold the information on [[price comparison services]] and [[review aggregators and review sites]].
Next going to look at [[MediaWiki/extensions]] and see what is and what isn't valid any more. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 18:23, 13 November 2014 (EET)

Made backups a few days ago. The machine I used to verify the backups is no longer with me so it'll take a few days before I can verify the backups.
The study wiki is now down for a while since looking at the logs with 'tail -f' I can see that the DDoS is still ongoing and I haven't yet figured out how to thwart it.
I just installed CodeReader for SailfishOS by Steffen Förster on my Jolla. This is the 1st time I've had a working [[barcode]] [[scanner]] as I've never owned an iOS or Android device (dislike both AAPL and GOOG based on perceived too dominant market position). CodeReader scans [[QR code]], [[Aztec]], [[Data Matrix]], [[Code 128]], [[EAN 13]], [[Interleaved 2/5]] and [[UPC-A]], out of which I've now tried [[EAN]] 13 and QR code. The EAN 13 codes actually scan more easily then QR code. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 18:07, 29 July 2014 (EEST)
Note to self: install a stronger [[CAPTCHA]]. The current one is clearly not adequate.
So.. The mobile devices' abilities have come a long way since 2002 when the Consumium / Consumerium effort was 1st announced and the [[Consumer Agent]] which I envisioned over 10 yrs ago is clearly implementable today as a mobile app.
I'm very excited about the upcoming [[MaidSafe]] Networks. It seems like a natural choice to use as storage back-end to store historical accounts of how the [[voting|votes]] were at such and such time. I am planning on donating 1.3TB of storage to the network as soon as it comes online so for a long time we will be providing more storage then we'll be using. The reason to choose MaidSafe Networks as the long-term storage solution is due to the high level of privacy and security provided by the architecture and the fact that the informations on the MaidSafe networks are nearly indestructible if I am understanding it right. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 18:57, 29 July 2014 (EEST)
Oh, nice, I just noticed that Wikiteam have [https://archive.org/details/wiki-developconsumeriumorg_w archived this wiki againin July 2014] .. it's nice to know that even in the case of catastrophic data loss on part of the systems I keep the work will still remain archived. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 21:49, 29 July 2014 (EEST)

The monitor Consumerium R&D wiki (http://develop.consumerium.org/wiki/) is back UP (OK) (It was down for 542 hours, 30 minutes and 40 seconds).
The cause of the server being down and squatting was an attack on my study-wiki. It is now taken offline and no other sites seem to be under attack. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 14:56, 10 July 2014 (EEST)

We humans need to ''lurk harder'' then the machines.. that and new innovative [[w:CAPTCHA]]s like the ''KittenCaptcha''. I'd go for reCAPTCHA '''and''' KittenCaptcha for account registrations but maybe even that won't hold them back. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 14:29, 29 May 2014 (EEST)
Yeah. Removed links to Facebook and Gmail. <tt>Free services: ''"Use it and you endorse it"'' (unless you use it only in the tongue-in-cheek sense) simple as that</tt> Mail is much better responded to if it comes to my private box I keep on the 50GB mailbox on http://kapsi.fi. Kapsi is a Finnish non-profit association / NGO that I am proud to be a member of. Kapsi works, no need to purchase commercial services unless I start a business. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 14:12, 29 May 2014 (EEST)
No spamming attempts for over an hour :) A few quieted IP-addresses can apparently work, or ''option b'', it is just waiting there with plenty of IP address arsenal. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 14:04, 29 May 2014 (EEST)

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%, newest available code, 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]] --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk: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. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk: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:patent]]s and code to the human kind. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk: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. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk: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 --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk: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. --[[User:Juboxi|Juboxi]] ([[User talk:Juboxi|talk]]) 19:48, 28 May 2014 (EEST)
