Not sure if maybe I asked you before but the MW team is out of ideas re why upgrading to bullseye makes servers OOM and what we can do to fix it. Do you think you could find some time to look into it yourself? (In case you didn't know Paladox upgraded mw8 back to bullseye and OOMs are back) [18:43:16] heh, what is that doing here? :P [18:43:24] I guess John hasn't said anything in a public channel since [18:44:02] Well, we should all be glad that John's back to being a full Steward again.

[21:47:05] We might need JohnLewis's help again with that crummy user. [22:26:13] Thanks @Void for dealing with pesky user [22:26:14] swings by with a banhammer [22:27:19] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/D_sticks_at_moderating They're back. [22:27:23] [url] Global account information for D sticks at moderating - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [22:31:16] Is it all one isp? [22:31:27] no, never is [22:32:51] Lemme guess, DO, AWS? [22:33:11] AWS? [22:33:39] Previously I've heard that user connects through the state of New Jersey a lot, not sure if I'm remembering that correctly [22:33:53] Amazon’s cloud [22:33:59] Ah. [22:35:05] -abigblueworld- also uses proxies from Maine, and one of the sockpuppets admitted that they used a school IP to create the account and continue with the petty harassment and vandalism. [22:37:09] nah, more obscure things [22:42:00] kinda sad I "lost" my ASN swiping scripts. Gotta go remake those at some point [22:44:53] wym swiping [22:45:12] Banning an entire ASN in one [22:45:47] It'd be nice if you could ban by AS number in the new improvements [22:46:07] yeah, I had some different scripts so that I could reverse lookup ASN numbers to ranges, and then pull all the ranges into my massGBlock script [22:47:01] Wouldn't that require calling their ISP providers about the abusive behavior of this particular LTA? I've also been receiving talk page harassment recently on Wikipedia, and it's been a huge pain in the ass. [22:47:17] No [22:47:26] Oh. [22:47:49] Without a police report, most ISPs don't care [22:48:09] How are we even going to deny this LTA's entry to Miraheze anyway? [22:48:20] Best response I've seen is Microsoft's Security response centre [22:48:27] Ideally isps would actually read their abuse@ emails, that per standard is supposed to be a valid email address for a domain [22:48:33] With a lot of hard work [22:48:42] I think they get too much [22:49:01] So unless you have authority, you get ignored [22:49:05] I’d bet money on forwarding to /dev/null [22:49:51] Eh, I just nuke their ASN and move on :P [22:50:18] Until you look at amazon and their 900 asns [22:50:26] They're already banned from entering the Qualitipedia wikis because of the trouble they've caused, but they still couldn't even process that in their heads. [22:50:36] Only one that's worth contacting is Microsoft [22:50:47] Because they actually respond & act [22:51:02] Anyway I'm out for the night [22:51:09] Sounds more like a Trust & Safety thing. [22:51:14] I believe Skizzerz over at TheTestWIki had an ASN ban setup, where you just add an ASN number to a config variable, and the software hard-blocks any IPs that match those ranges [22:51:15] RhinosF1 Good night. [22:52:23] Why not set it up on Meta, globally? We might even prevent that foolish user from ever returning, unless if it registers false positives. [22:53:07] I didn't know IPs contained emojis 😆 [22:53:08] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443926951292567562/917549241482756166/Screenshot_20211206-165249-778.png [22:53:52] Not sure why that seems to be the case, but lol. [22:53:56] :100: [22:54:06] 💯 [22:57:34] The #wiki-feed is off like a rocket-ship.

I was just saying that this will (and hopefully) keep that LTA off our platform. [23:12:12] Improbable long term, but who knows [23:46:00] I keep seeing this “D sticks” account [23:49:39] Can we prevent users from registering accounts that have “abigblueworld” “Fav movie” and “mr java script” [23:53:53] Wouldn't that register false positives though? [23:54:19] Prob just at least abigblueworld [23:56:13] Then we could do abigblueworld
