I have slow and unstable and limited by quota connection to Internet. And no, it's not going to improve because of where I live. HTTPS has additional payload and uses precious time and bandwidth up, can't be cached by proxy servers or compressed by Opera Turbo. Enough? So, please, don't forget your promises, and keep my ability to use HTTP intact, and fix this bug. Thanks for attention and understanding.

Eloquence added a comment to T91352: Russian projects force HTTPS regardless of preferences.

A Russian Wikipedia community member implemented a JavaScript redirect to send Russian Wikipedia traffic to HTTPS in August 2014, so most Russian Wikipedia traffic has been going over HTTPS since last year. A similar hack was in place in Russian Wikinews. The resulting configuration was vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, as it depended on users first loading the insecure version. It also caused a major performance hit for users due to the double-loading. In consultation with Russian Wikimedia community members, consistent with our long term HTTPS rollout objectives, and consistent with the pre-existing request to participate in the HTTPS beta, we superseded the hack with a server-side redirect and HSTS as a secure and consistent default configuration for all Russian language projects.

Eloquence added a comment to T89918: OOM reported at SpecialPage.php:534 due to large output from Special:Book.

@tstarling any near term fix would be great as this impacts a lot of users and we will have to temporarily disable PDF generation altogether if we can't get it under control soon. flagging to @bd808 as well -- would be good if this could be prioritized as a critical issue.

Eloquence added a comment to T91443: Create an application for exploring reader and editor user agents.

I suggest we prioritize the following for now:

  • HIGH: Show % of total traffic (for the view I'm in) as a separate column
  • MEDIUM: Switches to group platform, browser version (if I group "platform" I still get all Chrome versions, if I group "browser version" I still get the OS breakdown, if I group both I just get "Chrome", "Firefox" etc.)
