= Greg's Wiki =

This is Greg's (also known as [[GreyCat]]'s) wiki. It has a few pages which may be of interest for people doing Unix shell scripting or system administration.

The 'official' channel FAQ for [[http://freenode.net|freenode]]'s `#bash` channel is [[BashFAQ]]. For common mistakes made by Bash programmers, see BashPitfalls. For learning Bash, try the BashGuide (in progress).

For general Unix issues, try some of the pages in CategoryUnix. [[http://www.qmail.org|qmail]] users, see CategoryQmail. [[http://www.openssh.org/|ssh]] users, try CategorySsh. The [[http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIRC|Debian wiki]] has some more resources that may be useful.
 
Miscellaneous pages: NetEtiquette, XyProblem.

There are also some [[CategoryRant|rants]].

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??

 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.

  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).
