| {{news|2024-01-28|More attacks, 2024| | | {{news|2024-09-02|Wiki editors use Manual of Style| |
| In the past few hours, we've experienced another wave of attacks targeting our wiki infrastructure. To mitigate this, we've begun blocking entire Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), effectively reducing the load on our database cluster. Additionally, we've heightened Cloudflare challenge levels. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our users. Until we compile a comprehensive list of the attacking networks, these measures will remain necessary.
| | The Wiki team discussed and put into effect the [[Manual of Style]] for editing wiki articles. This is a huge step towards clear and consistent documentation. All editors are encouraged to follow this guide. |

| {{news|2024-01-11|Content Requests, 2024| | | {{news|2024-08-22|Wiki editors meeting| |
| We've noticed increased requests for specific content on the nixos.wiki addressed to the admin-team via email since the start of the year. Let's clarify our approach to these requests: <br>
| | All interested wiki editors meet on 22th of August at 21:15 CEST in a Jitsi conference. |
| The admin team's primary role is to address operational issues. We do not create content based on individual requests. However, like any member of the NixOS community, our team members may contribute to the wiki on their own accord.
| |
|
| |
|
| For content creation, we encourage you to connect with other NixOS users. You can find various platforms for interaction in the "Get in touch" section on our [[Main_Page|Main Page]] or [[Get_In_Touch|Get in Touch]] page. If you've found a solution to a problem, consider contributing your knowledge to the wiki. Your input is valuable and can assist others facing similar challenges.

| {{news|2023-12-12|DDOS Attacks - December, 2023| | | {{news|2024-07-05|Wiki editors meeting| |
| The nixos.wiki is experiencing a significant upsurge in attacks, which have notably impacted our infrastructure. In the past day, these attacks have increasingly resulted in timeouts, particularly noticeable while editing wiki pages.
| | All interested wiki editors meet on 5th of July at 13:00 CEST in a Jitsi conference. |
|
| |
|
| To counteract this, we’ve implemented new security protocols. These measures are more robust and aggressive, specifically designed to mitigate these attacks. We anticipate that for most users, these changes will be transparent and not impede normal wiki usage.
| |
|
| |
| However, there’s an important caveat for users accessing our wiki via specific cloud providers (source of recent attacks). Such traffic will now trigger interactive challenges from Cloudflare. This is a permanent change to ensure the integrity and availability of our wiki for all users. We understand this may cause inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

| {{news|2023-09-09|Upcoming Infrastructure Changes at nixos.wiki - September, 2023| | | {{news|2024-04-01|Launch of the wiki| |
| Over the past few months, nixos.wiki has been dealing with increased levels of attacks ranging from basic to complex ones targeting the database. Thankfully, we have support from Cloudflare (sponsoring their services), which helps us counteract a large part of these attacks.
| | The official NixOS wiki has taken off! |
| | If you want to find out why there is a new wiki effort, check out the [[FAQ#Why_is_there_a_new_wiki?_What_is_with_nixos.wiki | FAQ]]. |
|
| |
|
| Despite this help, some attacks reach our backend, so we have decided to migrate to a different setup to better protect the wiki and keep it operational. This means there might be a few downtimes in the weeks ahead. We will keep you posted on the timings here in the news section.
