Hallo, Oops. This makes me wonder, where all those big files are. I would think that only sound- and video-files can add to such a big mass, but the community folder on pd.org just has a small handful of files. This brings up the question, if everything on pd.org is going on okay, I mean, I hope, that there's no off-topic filesharing going on under the hood.
I don't think, that this is happening, but it might be good to think of countermeasures for things like this *in case* it happens.
several remarks:
- after migration, files will be kept in the filesystem rather than in the
database. this should make the db significantly smaller (and thus faster)
- pd.org is not the only site hosted by our zope-portal. probably the evil-doers
are to be found somewhere else....
- in fact, iem has been exploited for filesharing quite recently: since the ftp
for pdwiki was read-/writable by anonymous, we had various high-quality (in terms of video-quality of course) porns and other stuff in there. this is why i have closed the writing ftp-access for ftp.iem.at/incoming and all subfolders (including pdwiki). just in case anybody wanted to know. just in case anybody already knew...
