| 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).

| . 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]], with an Apache reverse proxy pointing to it. It should be reached using http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ (virtual host going through Apache proxy). ''The twisted configuration is apparently deprecated now by the Moin folks, in favor of WSGI running under Apache mod_wsgi or Cherrypy. I'm working on getting it running under Cherrypy, and it's very close now. The big difference is that Cherrypy/WSGI doesn't handle the `/moin_staticNNN/` content internally like the twisted version does; it relies on a static web server (Apache) to do so. So, the old `:8000` URL will no longer be totally functional when the switchover is made. This means you should '''change your bookmarks''' if you still have any pointing to the `:8000` URL!'' -GreyCat |
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. |
