| Categories? CategoryCategory, CategoryShell, CategoryUnix, CategoryQmail, CategorySsh. These need to be filled in.... | ---- This wiki uses [[HelpOnSpam|text captchas]] on page edits. [[TrustedEditorGroup|Trusted editors]] will not see them. |
| Line 21: | Line 32: |
| To the idiot at 219.88.*.* who kept porn-spamming this page: congratulations. Because of you, I have blocked the entire /16 netblock (apparently a huge chunk of New Zealand). '''Why''' do we let idiots have dynamic IP addresses?? | |
| Line 24: | Line 33: |
| Also, congratulations to greycat for blocking a whopping 65536 users out of spite just to stop one little spammer - an obviously constructive method of dealing with the fact that one's running an open wiki on a hostile network. | This is a [[http://moinmo.in/|MoinMoin]] wiki. Language packages have been installed for English, French, German and Spanish, but virtually all the content is in English. |
| Line 26: | Line 35: |
| And what would you do instead? Require me to activate wiki accounts by hand before letting people edit pages? A suggestion 1) I get a lot of mileage on my personal wiki out of blocking anonymous users from saving pages with URLs in them. A suggestion 2) Please install and activate ''Captchpa'' feature which would be asked before attempting to edit a page A suggestion 3) Require to to use ''Preview'' before page is actually posted. A suggestion 4) Use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_(networking)|teergrube]] (technique from SMTP spammer tar-pits). Accept page only after N minutes has passed since user pressed ''edit''. Say 3 minutes. (From an unaffected chunk of NZ): Thanks for the pages, greycat. It occurs to me that a wiki ought to be able to block edits from IP ranges without blocking views. I'll look into moinmoin. As of a couple days ago (early Feb 2009), this wiki now uses [[HelpOnTextChas|text captchas]] on page edits. [[TrustedEditorGroup|Trusted editors]] will not see them. If you're not smart enough to answer the (extremely simple) questions, then you lose. (That's potentially a small problem on pages that say "ask your questions here", but really... the captcha questions are ''very'' simple.) I also removed all firewall-level IP blocks, for now at least. This is a [[http://moinmo.in/|MoinMoin]] wiki. Language packages have been installed for German and Spanish (''need to verify...?''), but virtually all the content herein is in English. This wiki is running under [[HelpOnInstalling/TwistedWeb|twisted]] on port 8000, with an Apache reverse proxy pointing to it. Thus, you may reach it either via http://wooledge.org:8000/ (talking directly to twisted), or http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ (virtual host through Apache proxy). |
As of April 2014, this wiki runs on a Debian virtual private server with [[http://nginx.org/|nginx]] and [[http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/|uWSGI]]. In December 2012, this wiki was moved to the same Debian virtual private server with Apache2 and mod_wsgi. Prior to that, it ran on an OpenBSD box with a very slow Internet connection, using [[http://moinmo.in/HowTo/ApacheWithCherryPy|CherryPy]] with Apache rewriting magic to help out. Prior to ''that'', it ran on the same box using the "twisted" package (instructions for that no longer exist!), with a simpler Apache reverse proxy pointing to it. |
