I wonder what the reason behind the spam is. I can think of 2 variants: a) just boost search ranking by having more sites link to something b) provide a landing page for spam campaigns (e.g. via email)
<Consolatis>
a) could be prevented by not allowing search robots to index non-whitelisted repositores b) could be prevented by not allowing public access (e.g. without a gl.f.d.o account) to non-whitelisted repositories (or orgas / user accounts).
<Consolatis>
So instead of making it harder and harder for legitimate users to use gl.f.d.o the better option IMO would be to devalue gl.f.d.o for spammers.

My gitlab.freedesktop.org account got disabled. Is this normal or is there an idle timeout?
<__tim>
just log in again to re-activate it :)
<__tim>
lots of people got this mail, part of an attempt to weed out spam accounts aiui

I have too, couple of hours ago
<__tim>
if you need more hands on the spam admin side, let me know :)
Leopold_ has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<mupuf>
__tim: I saw them, thanks!
<mupuf>
I went through the spam reports half an hour ago, then look for more in the recent projects
<mupuf>
I went through all the projects created in the past month, found ~5 more
<mupuf>
err, maybe 10 actually

Hello, is there a way to contact the freedesktop gitlab admins? I want to suggest them to change the name of the Gitlab email sender, bc the account deactivated scared the shit out of me until I read the second-last line.
<mupuf>
bionade24: heya :)
<mupuf>
Mind giving me more context?
<mupuf>
can you pastebin the email you received?
<bionade24>
mupuf: Of course. Here is a screenshot, bc it explains my problem better: https://i.imgur.com/5Y0lAQr.png The Sender should IMHO not be "Gitlab", but "Freedesktop Gitlab" or something similar.
<mupuf>
Right!
<bionade24>
mupuf: I was thinking which Gitlab i could have been possibly banned of for what reason until I read till the end :)
<bionade24>
s/ which/ from which/
<mupuf>
yeah, the email is very confusing
<mupuf>
I see that "premium" users can configure this email a little more
<mupuf>
but I don't see anything here I can do to make it better :s
<mupuf>
bentiss, daniels: Why are so many users get deactivated?
<bionade24>
mupuf: I did have a CE instance on my own and did change the Sender. So should be possible without the Paid version.
<mupuf>
bionade24: oh, great to know! Do you remember where you specified this?
<bentiss>
mupuf: I think I'm the one who clicked on the 'deactivate account after 90 days of inactivity'
<mupuf>
bentiss: I assume this is because we don't want to keep too many users in the database?
<bionade24>
mupuf: No idea. The instance doesn't exist anymore.
<bentiss>
they are still in the db. just deactivated
<mupuf>
ok, so what does it gain us?
<bentiss>
basically no more processing for them. but I don't know if it's benecial Tbh
<bionade24>
mupuf: I had an idea and checked my backups, you configure it in config.rb
<mupuf>
bentiss: ack
<mupuf>
bentiss: do you think it would be possible to change the sender field, in config.rb?
<bentiss>
mupuf: yes. but I'm not in front of my workstation right now
<bentiss>
and typing on the phone is hard ;)
<mupuf>
wonderful, thanks! No hurry, it can wait until next week for sure :)
<bionade24>
Ok, thanks for the quick response!
<mupuf>
you're welcome. Thanks for your report!

jenatali: Hi! Is there any chance you could look at piglit windows build job? it takes ~ 30 minutes and it's not cached (so it's build again & again), also time to time fails
<jenatali>
David Heidelberg: Uh, what? It's cached
<DavidHeidelberg[m]>
jenatali: I see it building like everytime :( let me check
<DavidHeidelberg[m]>
right, maybe mine mistake
<DavidHeidelberg[m]>
still not sure why it run with marge bot last time
<jenatali>
It shouldn't be. It's in a container image that should only be rebuilt when it changes
<DavidHeidelberg[m]>
ok, I see the issue (?), Marge runs in the fork
<DavidHeidelberg[m]>
No image found at registry.freedesktop.org/okias/piglit/windows/x64_build:2022-07-27-win2022 or registry.freedesktop.org//windows/x64_build:2022-07-27-win2022; rebuilding
<DavidHeidelberg[m]>
there is missing mesa/piglit variable inside the path
