Block mail from dysgo.org?

We've been receiving messages from this domain at unblock <at> toolserver.org
and they appear to be related to this:
<http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/l44r1/i_just_got_this_email_at_work_i_have_no_idea_what/>.
 Viral advertising for some film.  In reality, it's a message with a
crapload of images attached serving no purpose for us.

Can we just block this whole domain from sending mail to toolserver
accounts?  It's a nuisance, and the messages are quite large.

Re: Fairness on the toolserver

I feel as though this should be a rule - yes, certain tools and
programs will need more resources than others, but at the same time the
examples you're citing read to me as simply excessive.

Subject: [Toolserver-l] Fairness on the toolserver
Hello all,

the resources on the TS are free, but limited; so we all have to use the
resources fair. Some limits (like memory-usage) are set and controlled by the
system, but others are not and it is in the responsibility of every single
user to make sure to not mis- or overuse resources.
So it is for example NOT a good idea to run 200 processes in parallel to get
more CPU-resources than you would normally get. And it is not a good idea to
use a amount of memory which is just below the slayer-daemon-limit without any
purpose.

Sincerely,
DaB.

P.S: It is totally in the rules to disable a user-account because of resource-
misusing.

Out of memory/segfaults?

Spam problem on Toolserver wiki

Hi.

https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Special:Log/block

I think there's already a Math CAPTCHA enabled, but clearly this
script/bot/whatever has defeated that. Not sure what needs doing.

Day of the open linux-server

Hello all,

while the SGE-update will need some more time (see my last mail), I think it 
is a good idea to finish the installation of linux on yarrow and nightshade 
soon. Because the roots can not think of everything and your feedback which 
Debian-packages should be installed was smaller than expected, I hereby 
announce a Open-Linux-Server-day for

Thursday, 10. May between 10:00 and 22:00 UTC.

During this time, login for normal users will be possible and it will also be 
possible to run code/scripts/editors/whatever. After 22 o'clock user-login 
will be disabled again and the box will get a reboot.

On this way I hope that we all will notice the last problems before the linux-
boxes will go into the productive state soon after.

Sincerely,
DaB.

Monthly report 2012-04

Hello all,

since a few months a weekly report [1] about events in the german-speaking 
Wikipedia and the Wikimedia-organizations is send to a few mailing-lists; I 
think that this is a very good idea and so I will try to establish something 
similar for the TS too (on monthly base). For the soon-ending April I wrote a 
short report below and I think we can all together write a report for May on a 
wiki-page [2].

Sincerely,
DaB.

= Report for April 2012 =

== s2 and s6 corrupt ==
It was discovered this month that the databases of s6 [A] and s2 [B] are 
defect and will need a re-import. A dump of s6 was already requested at 2. 
April at the WMF, but no response yet. A dump for s2 will be requested soon.
*[A]; https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-1228
*[B]: https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1348

== s1 is back to normal ==
Both server for s1 (enwiki) are back to normal [A].
*[A]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-announce/2012-
April/000484.html

==Interwiki-Bot-MMP-rule is in charge ==
On 2. April the new "No interwiki-bos outside the interwiki-bot-MMP"-rule 
became relevant [A]. Because no MMP was created to that timestamp yet, the 
date was moved to 15. Mai [B]. Toto Azéro started a thread about planing the 
MMP short time ago [C].
*[A]: https://wiki.toolserver.org/w/index.php?title=Rules&diff=6603&oldid=5988
*[B]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004913.html
*[C]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004930.html

== SGE-Update not successful ==
A second try to update the SGE to version 6.2u5p2 was not successful [A]. The 
import of the old config into the new system aborts every time. We need the 
update to include the new Linux-boxes.
*[A]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004924.html

==Reminder of hackathon ==
Sumana Harihareswara reminded us about the Berlin hackathon which will take 
place in Berlin (Germany) in the beginning of June [A].
*[A]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004917.html

==Wikidata started ==
The working on Wikidata started on 1. April [A]. This is not a real topic for 
the TS at the moment, but I am sure that plenty of tools will be created as 
soon as the project is alive.
*[A]: http://www.wikimedia.de/wiki/Pressemitteilungen/PM_3_12_Wikidata_EN

==DaB. added as TS-Announce-ML-admin ==
The WMF-techs added me as a admin for the Toolserver-announce-mailinglist so 
that I can add and remove people myself (before only River could do that). 
More people should be able to send important mails to that mailinglist in near 
future.

Until next month,
DaB.

Interwiki bot MMP planning

Hi all !
I'd like to remind everyone of you that *we* have to organize the MMP interwikit-bot *before* 15th May ! It
just remains a couple of weeks now, so it's beginning to become an emergency… 
If nothing's done at that date, DaB said he would "kill and disable every longrunning interwiki-bot that
[he] find[s]." (see http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004913.html)

MF-Warburg created https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Interwiki_bot_MMP_planning nearly two
months ago, but only Luckas Blade, Merlissimo and I had completed it… So we are 3 interested persons at
the moment, but all from wikipedia-projects (respectively from ptwiki, dewiki and frwiki), whereas DaB
wanted one from a non-wikipedia-project…

So two questions actually : 
1) does the actual group (composed of Luckas Blade, Merlissimo and me) suit to you ?
2) is there anybody else interested in joining it ?

Regards,
— Toto Azéro
