Hi there!
Today 2023-03-06, in a few minutes, we will restart the Toolforge internal
network, A brief interruption of network communications is expected during the
maintenance.
This is because we're re-deploying calico to the kubernetes cluster [0].
No action required on your side.
regards.

As part of the ToolsDB migration work [1], in about 1 hour from now I
will stop ToolsDB for a very short time (I expect the downtime to last
approximately 2 minutes).
You can follow along and report any issues in the #wikimedia-cloud IRC channel.
Thanks,
Francesco

Hello everyone,
If you are interested in organizing or joining a hackathon event, but
cannot attend the in-person Hackathon event in May in Athens, Greece, this
email is for you!
We encourage communities, user groups or chapters to organize satellite
events connected to the in-person Hackathon. These events are to be
organized autonomously and share the hackathon's purpose: bringing the
global technical community together to connect, hack, run technical
discussions, and explore new ideas.
You can work with your wiki community to organize these events before,
during, or after the main event to onboard newcomers to the technical
aspects of the Wikimedia movement, hosting watch parties or meetups in your
region to offer an alternative to people who cannot join the in-person
event in Athens.
To obtain help with organizing an event, you can apply for funds via the *Rapid
Grants* maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. The deadline to apply for
funding is *March 20*. When preparing for your event, you can reach out to
the Hackathon organizing team for support with resources, designing the
program, and guidance on getting involved in the global event.
Learn more about the satellite events, funding process, and a checklist for
organizing on the wiki page: <

Cheers,
Srishti

I'm trying to simplify my life by avoiding having to log in to my own account on a toolforge bastion and then become my tool. I tried dropping my public key into $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys for my tool, but that doesn't work:
> $ ssh -t tools.dyk-tools(a)dev.toolforge.org
> tools.dyk-tools(a)dev.toolforge.org: Permission denied (publickey,hostbased).
Am I just doing something wrong, or is toolforge set up to disallow that?
We are having some very concerning instability with the cloud-vps file
system. Out of an abundance of caution I have shut off EVERYTHING in
cloud-vps to prevent rampant data corruption.
I don't expect this outage to last long but will notify when things
start up again. Very sorry for the downtime!
-Andrew

I apologize if this discussion is already occurring in a task, I am
terrible at finding relevant phab tasks people haven't linked.
But I assume that PHP 8 can not be loaded onto WM Cloud Servers by a matter
of policy, correct?
My concern here is, I have some code that just lost security patches due to
EOL. The next upgrade only supports PHP 8.
It has the ability to leave a huge gap in the security of my code.
Is there any plan to support PHP 8 any time soon?

Thanks largely to dschwen's hard work, we are about to move the
long-neglected postgres osmdb to a volunteer-managed project. Most
workloads have already moved to the new service. As far as anyone can
tell there is only a single tool still hitting osmdb.eqiad.wmnet.
Later in the week, that tool will break when I finally shut down the
eqiad.wmnet domain. If your tool is using that service, please refer to
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323159 to coordinate migration.

it would appear that pwb 8 has corrected some things and the `pwb.py`
script will no longer be included in paws when we upgrade, nicely the `pwb`
command itself will start working. If you were using `pwb.py` you will
likely have to start using `pwb` to run your code.
