| [[http://www.qmail.org|qmail]] users, see QmailPath and QmailRelay. They're a bit rough right now. Miscellaneous pages: SshKeys, FtpMustDie, XyProblem. The [[http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIRC|Debian wiki]] has some more resources that may be useful. 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. | Miscellaneous pages: [[NetEtiquette]], [[XyProblem]]. |

| And what would you do instead? Require me to activate wiki accounts by hand before letting people edit pages? | There are also some [[CategoryRant|rants]]. |

| 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. | This wiki uses [[HelpOnSpam|text captchas]] on page edits. [[TrustedEditorGroup|Trusted editors]] will not see them. |
| Line 28: | Line 22: |
| A suggestion 2) Please install and activate ''Captchpa'' feature which would be asked before attempting to edit a page | ---- 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 30: | Line 25: |
| A suggestion 3) Require to to use ''Preview'' before page is actually posted. | As of December 2012, this wiki runs on a Debian virtual private server with Apache2 and mod_wsgi. |
| Line 32: | Line 27: |
| 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). |
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. |
