Void added a comment to T7677: [New] Server Request for jobchron.

In theory we can recycle jobrunner3 to jobchron1. We'd need to remove the mediawiki and jobrunner roles, update hostname and DNS, and then adjust hardware settings. However, a downside to this approach will be that we will remain using a 47GB disk instead of 10GB. I don't believe we can resize this to be smaller.

Void added a comment to T7678: [New] Server Request for task.

I'm planning we recycle the existing jobrunner4 into this new task1 server. In theory, all we should need to do is update hostname and DNS, then a short restart to adjust hardware settings, and it should be good.

I like this idea. I think is a great idea. And i think a field for adding a description in /Special:ManageWiki/core could be a good idea too.
I made a mockup of my idea.

Owen added a comment to T7713: Improve password standards.

I agree with Void in that dropping the maximal doesn’t make a lot of sense when it’s already set at that level by default. You’d need a good reason really to lower it and a standard that chose the length based on software we don’t use doesn’t seem it.

Due to the fact that this extension is being requested on a "possible use-case" bases and not for the particular requester, closing the task.

Unknown Object (User) added a comment to T7429: Set wgMiserMode to true on all Miraheze wikis.

I think we shouldn't deploy this change globally for minimal, if any true performance improvements, which would also have negative impact on wikis' special query pages being updated less often. I don't think the community would fully appreciate a sudden change like this globally due to the impact. It seems to not have the impact I wanted when creating this task. My opinion, revert the opt-in, remove it from all current wikis, and remove the updateSpecialPages cron from puppet so it isn't being unnecessarily ran. This can be probably be reconsidered later if it is necessary but for now I don't think it is.
