hello,
after a few incidents where processes using excessive amounts of RAM
have caused problems for other users, i have written a small program to
regulate user memory usage.
it works as follows: if the combined memory usage (RSS) of all your
processes exceeds 2000M, your processes will be killed in decreasing
order of memory usage until you are using less than 1000M.
you will receive email if any of your processes are killed because of
this.
these limits were chosen because they should affect no legitimate users.
let us know if you need more for some reason.

Hello,
SWMT (Small wikis monitoring team) is a global project aiming at fighting
vandalism on small Wikimedia projects, including those without sysops. To
learn more about us you can take a look at our page on meta <
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SWMT> or join us on the #wikimedia-swmt
channel on Freenode.
People from the SWMT regularly tag nonsense with {{delete}}, so as to bring
them to the attention of the local sysops or to stewards or volunteers who
will get temporary sysop status to clean up the wiki.
Though, checking each small wiki is drawn-out. I was wondering if one of you
toolserver demigods could program a kind of global Whatlinkshere to list all
the pages tagged with {{delete}} (including redirections from/to this
template) on small wikis to help us. I guess this could work similarly to
the Checkusage tool?
We can provide a list of small wikis, or you can also take the full list and
remove all projects with more than 10,000 articles.
Thanks in advance for your help :)

A the moment a discussion is underway at the Commons about allowing
administrators on the commons to view deleted images on all projects
[1]. This would allow us to check whether an image with a certain name
(or maybe hash) has been uploaded and then deleted on another project
for whatever reason (e.g. copyvio etc.). To do this we currently have
to contact someone at the project and ask them to do so for us
(especially difficult if you do not know their language).
One solution suggested would be to do this using the toolserver, the
only trouble is that to do so would require user authentication -
which is not permitted by the rules. I was wondering whether it would
be possible to get an exemption or alternatively whether a separate
authentication system set up on the toolserver tool for such a thing
and all current commons admins e-mailed a default password which they
can then change.
I hope this makes sense,
Robert.

please check your use of disk space on hemlock. in a quick perusal of
home directories i have found several logfiles which are hundreds of MB
in size, and could surely be trimmed a little. i suspect there is a
lot of other wasted space.
the worst offenders for disk usage (>1GB) are:
6968442920 tawker
6676813178 gmaxwell
4910263520 voj

obviously, don't delete anything you're actually using. just make sure
that things you don't need anymore aren't wasting space.

Hey all. I'm considering a username change (to my real name) on the
projects, and was wondering if this is possible on the toolserver, or
whether I will simply need to get a new account.
Thanks,

I have read, that toolserver now offers running dedicated server for Counter
Strike.
I would like to ask about running Quake II dedicated server too, cause there
is lot of fans of this game on pl.wiki and they would like to organize
official 'Polish Wikipedia Quake II Tournament' next weekend.
Best Regards
