* mounting USB sticks - special permissions required, can they be relaxed?

* clean up wiki vandalism
* Update the following wiki pages
* make uploading videos less painful
** [[Backups]]
* fix debian.csclub
** [[Ceo]], also related to "debian.csclub is broken"

** [[Mirror]] including that rsyncd needs to be re-started after reboot. (systemctl start rsync)
** [[Music]] and possibly link to [[Pulseaudio]]
** [[MySQL]] mentions a-f replica
** [[NFS/Kerberos]] should probably by merged with an existing page
** [[NetApp]]
** [[Netboot]] (might want to merge with [[New CSC Machine]])
** [[OID Assignment]] and [[UID/GID Assignment]] should be merged with LDAP and replaced with a redirect

* Reorganize in general. Separate Machine/System Documentation section into multiple sections.
** Idea: One part for members/users, one part for office admin stuff, one part for Linux machines admin stuff, one part for CloudStack

* Add "DO NO TURN ON" label to phlogiston
* Move alpha server to office
* Fix psilodump's and aspartame's IPs and routing
* Install new graphics card
** psilodump should not be routable outside aspartame. This is currently accomplished by fuckery. This *should* be fixed to use the net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter sysctl.
* Look into expanding /scratch and using RAID using spare disks in the office.
* Decommission denardo
