Hey, I spoke with some folks from enwp and they said that it would be cool
if moodbar extension had one more permission allowing people to do hide /
unhide, so that they could eventually let more people than sysops check the
responses and eventually hide them. It's simple tweak, but what do you
think about it? Currently only people with sysop permission can do that. I
don't know much context about moodbar, but that modification is rather
simple, so if there were no concerns, we could do that?

As someone who tested
http://nova-controller.tesla.usability.wikimedia.org/ it was quite a
shock to find it out in this way.

Is this is the way we publish things now? As git logs? :)

If the user is not in Special:ListUsers, which kind of user is it?
I guess it should have been developers "can get an account by poking Ryan"

Last week, I didn't know there was such server (in fact, it seems to
have been launched _after_ I sent that mail).
*If* you have an account on labsconsole.wikimedia.org, *and* you go to
https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaAddress *and* you
know what a bastion host is, then you may figure it out.
Note that my first attempt was to try creating a ssh tunnel through
gerrit.wikimedia.org

It turns out you registered wmflabs.org
I had been trying things like foo.wmflabs.wikimedia.org or foo.wmflabs

By blanking the page? :)

For gerrit, which is everything i could connect to.
It is shown on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#settings,ssh-keys though,
so you can take it out.

/me waits for the magic to happen...
So far, it still doesn't seem useful.

It isn't the first time labs has been. I was suggesting labs, not the
console. I was replying to Chad, and he has seen the console, so he

Meh. I don't log every single thing I do. It's in the git log for the
puppet repo, at minimum.
> 2) It has a funny concept of "you have an account"
In what way? I'm giving out accounts to people slowly, over time. It's
in kind of closed beta mode right now. Basically, if you ask for an
account, you get one.
> 3) Public IPs are private
This is the way that OpenStack Nova works. If a public IP hasn't been
assigned to the instance yet, then the private IP is also considered
the public IP. bastion.wmflabs.org, for instance has a legitimate
public IP, with a legitimate public DNS entry.
> 4) Instances don't seem to be on wmf dns, despite statements of "ssh

That is not true. I'm running powerdns on virt1.wikimedia.org with an
LDAP backend.
All instances are in DNS when they are created, automatically. That is
private DNS, though. Instance "test" would be "test.pmtpa.wmflabs".
It's possible to SSH from a bastion host to all private hosts.
It's possible to add public DNS entries to public IP addresses, then
associate that public IP address to an instance.
If you've ever used EC2, the way this works is similar. The
terminology is exactly the same.

RSA key for what? Why would it need to be listed anywhere? Maybe
listing the RSA keys for hosts with public IPs is a good idea...

A while back (over 2 years ago, urk!) we had a request for dumps of
titles of things other than articles [1]. I haven't seen that request
repeated, but I'm wondering how useful that would be to folks and which
namespaces we should dump, if we were going to add a few. Article talk
pages? Other?

Hey,
Is there a nice way to obtain the first image on a page?
My current solution works, but is not very nice:
* get the images on the page via
api.php?action=query&prop=images&titles=pagename
* get the page contest via index.php?title=pagename&action=raw
* find the first occurrence of one of the image names obtained in the API
request
Cheers
