10 p.m. Chicago). The downtime will take about 2 hours.
While we're on this, that would be a good time to run the password
hash salting.
Done.
The other indexes are still building, we'll be back online soon
enough... :)
Arg, I was not fast enough. I just wanted to say that I am shocked that
wikipedia didn't already salt the passwords.
And in addition, I hope that now not only the passwords are salted, but
actually include more measures against brute-forcing, like hashing the
password 10000 times, or using something stronger than MD5.
But I fear it is again too late for adding that :/
Best wishes,
Tels
