Can we have a CreationWiki thread?

This thread started with Conservapedia, but also mentions CreationWiki. I've changed the thread title for greater generality.

Is there an Ubuntu Server / LXC container guru in the house? Please contact me via PM.

Hi Wesley,
I just tried to sign in at the Panda's Thumb to thank them for commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (April 19, 1943) with the photo of a daffodil but the captchas are nearly black and not readable.
If this is the same server, or if you can contact the person which works with it, please tell them.

Thank you!

I don't know if it was you, but someone complained in email and I forwarded that to Reed Cartwright. PT itself is on Reed's server currently.

I complained some days ago. I had to import the captcha into photoshop and play with the contrast to read it, all the time trying to keep the login process alive. It took several tries.

When I go to http://www.talkorigins.org/....ins.org and try to access one of its options, I get this:

I'm looking into this. Since the TOA is entirely static HTML, to get that somebody would have to have FTP level access to change things. Either that, or making a false report of a problem.

Just pointed my browser to http://www.talkorigins.org/,...., to see if I could duplicate HenryJ's report. I did not. Instead, I got a "404—file not found" error. If this is because Wes is doing something tech-y under the hood, so be it; if not, I hope that whatever the problem is, it's not serious.

Somebody, apparently in India, managed either a crack or exploit and loaded up a bunch of our files with a malware payload in script.

We've removed anything executable, changed our passwords, and will be applying a backup.

I just caught the 404 Not Found from my T.O. bookmark in Firefox. It affected Home page, and individual articles.

I also get a 404 page.

Bravo Wes.

Thanks also to Doug Theobald, who has been regularly backing up the Archive, so we didn't have to step back far to get to a clean set of files to restore.

The old host, Lunarpages, only permitted FTP for file transfers. We suspect the cracking was due to a man-in-the-middle attack getting the FTP login password. If that was the case, then every file transfer could potentially compromise the whole site. We aren't there anymore.

Some of the pages of the TOA aren't working. Is it due to the Java, or what. I can't do anything than read the FAQs. Elsberry, can you fix it? Some of them, include the What's-New Page, and add a new link.

ETA: Typo

Yes. Everything that depended on scripting, server-side execution, etc., does not work currently. There will likely be another server change in the near future, so I'm not looking to push to get a version working now that will have to change. But, yes, getting the full system operational is in the plans.

Had a post try to disappear earlier, though I managed to find it by going back in my browser.  I noticed that it showed as posting at the same time as another comment in another thread.  Last night, the same thing happened, and seemed to disappear a comment by J-dog that was listed as simultaneous with another.

I'm always stuck in the past.

My clock says 22:35 but the newest post says 22:42.

It's been this way for donkey's years and it's not a problem; just wondering if it's only my time that's out of joint?

I've done some messing about with NTPD, and it does look like there is a problem there. I've manually set the clock back and I'll be looking for the NTPD fix.

I'd like to see Thrinaxodon's "Human Devonian" origins appear in the t.o. CC Index. Most relevant is that he occasionally pushes it in t.o. I'd like to see a resource refuting his asinine crap.
