[09:59] <ryu0> Anyone able to access launchpad right now?
[10:04] <LGee> hello, I have trouble accessing https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk - I have an Uh oh! error page, can anyone confirm if it's not just for me?
[10:04] <LGee> Thanks
[10:05] <cjwatson> it's up for me from multiple locations
[10:06] <LGee> OK, thanks, I figured it has something to do with firefox.
[10:07] <cpaelzer> LGee: and depending what you looked for there you might want to instead go to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/dpdk/+git/dpdk/ or https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/admin/projects/deb_dpdk,branches
[10:16] <LGee> cpaelzer: thanks, I have found that (I needed the files used for packaging)
[10:17] <cjwatson> (seems like we had a brief timeout spike, but it's passed now)
[10:17] <LGee> By the way, it came back so it was indeed the site
[10:17] <LGee> yes\
[10:25] <cpaelzer> LGee: if you have any feedback/discussion/fixes pelsae don't hesitate to join the #deb_dpdk channel here
[10:25] <cpaelzer> or even "please"
[10:39] <LGee> Oh, good to know that such channel exists.
[21:53] <Mc> If I'm not mistaken, this is on of the worst days ever for spam in launchpad, right now sending a spam every three seconds for inkscape alone, 5k spams in the last 24h
[21:54] <wxl> define spam, Mc
[21:54] <Mc> [Question #503909]: #ALASKA#मुर्गी बर्गर #Kellyanne Conway #Ash Wednesday >>> quickbooks support phone number 1800 436 0259!!!!<<<<<>>>>>     Donalt @@@ DADA  #Wednesday
[21:54] <wxl> ahh in questions ok
[21:55] <Mc> yes
[21:55] <Mc> a few spams slipped in bugs section too
[21:55] <wxl> wow yep
[21:55] <wxl> looks like some of those folks have had their lp accounts disabled
[21:56] <wxl> did you talk to #canonical-sysadmin to make that happen by chance?
[21:56] <Mc> ?
[21:56] <wxl> that's a no. :)
[22:10] <wxl> Mc: wgrant's working on it. he actually has been. O_O
[22:11] <Mc> thanks for forwarding :)
[22:11] <wxl> np, np
[22:12] <wxl> this *IS* the right place to ask about those sorts of things. #canonical-sysadmin might be better if well, it totally disappears off the internet :)
[22:12] <Mc> would it be possible, at least as a temporary solution, to put a Recaptcha on launchpad answers ?
[22:13] <wxl> i'll let wgrant answer that question but my presumption is that's not without difficulty
[22:13] <wgrant> Mc: As hard as it might be to believe, you're not even seeing most of the spam :/ It's not possible to add a recaptcha to Answers in any reasonable timeframe, but there *is* a recaptcha on account registration and that doesn't stop them.
[22:14] <wxl> my experience in the past is that these spammers are not pure bots
[22:14] <wgrant> No, they're definitely human.
[22:15] <wgrant> And they're attacking tonnes of other sites as well, most of them just don't offer direct email subscriptions.
[22:15] <wgrant> I've tweaked some things so it should be better now, but we'll see.
[22:16] <Mc> Just tried to create an account, there is no captcha
[22:17] <Mc> ah, sorry
[22:17] <Mc> it's sent by email
[22:17] <wgrant> There is at verification time.
[22:17] <wgrant> You can't log into LP until you've verified your email address
[22:17] <wgrant> Yep
[22:18] <cjwatson> Yeah, I've been testing SSO changes today and can very definitely affirm that there is a recaptcha in there, having had to solve the damn thing multiple times
[22:18] <wgrant> These guys have no problem with captchas anywhere on the Internet, unfortunately. They have lots of manpower to burn.
[22:19] <wgrant> Anyway, things should be much better as of about half an hour ago.
[22:19] <wgrant> I'm keeping an eye on things.
[22:19] <Mc> still 1spam/2sec
[22:20] <wgrant> Oh, possibly an email queue.
[22:20] <wgrant> What's the latest number you've received?
[22:20] <Mc> 504150
[22:20] <Mc> 504155
[22:20] <wgrant> Ah, yeah, you're hours behind. Let me see if I can clean that up.
[22:21] <wgrant> (also you could just unsubscribe from emails :))
[22:30] <Mc> it's weird having the captcha in the email; when i'm forwarding it to myself without solving the captcha and viewing it in text mode, i have the impression that i can skip it
[22:31] <wgrant> The captcha's node in the email, it's in the page linked from the email.
[22:31] <wgrant> s/node/not/
[22:34] <Mc> ok, so i definitely have no captcha on thunderbird, trying with an adress not in a webstuff
