@Art I'm getting a server error when submitting a review: "Render and/or redirect were called multiple times in this action"
It points to this line, but I don't see where the problem is
Huh, my review went through now
 
what's the equivalent of %username% on mac?
 
@WELZ $(whoami)?
Also $USER
 
so navigating to Volumes/Users/$USER/bla bla file?
 
@WELZ I'd recommend $HOME if you're looking for the home directory
Or just ~
 
@Nobody feel free to fix if I got it wrong, I'm not a mac user, so very possible.
 
8:11 PM
@WELZ Just do ~/blablabla
Home directory is normally at /Users/username, not under /Volumes (a hidden folder with all mounted drives) BTW, but on a *nix system ~ is a shortcut for the home directory

@Art on line 32 of review_queues_controller, item needs to be changed to @item -- it's calling the item controller method instead :|
 
done :)
 
Awesome, hopefully that's the last of the bugs
 
Nice work, though
 
thank you! Backend dev is pretty fun

8:29 PM
@ArtOfCode mind deploying please? Review is broken until that fix is up
 
Aye, just want to get another bit in with it
 
Zoe
um, is FIRE broken for anyone else? (FF 60.0.1, updated 5 minutes ago, worked fine before)
 
Sounds good
@Zoe No for me on latest Safari
 
Zoe
I have no clue how this is happening
 
8:30 PM
@SmokeDetector Unreg user, either spam or trolling
 
@Zoe Looks like you lost CSS. Hard reload?
 
Zoe
Gonna try a reboot, it's not the cache
@ArtOfCode Tried. Didn't work
 
[ metasmoke-deploy ] deploy started by ArtOfCode
 
Shame
 
@ArtOfCode Just checked, lost CSS looks a lot worse than that
Maybe lost some CSS, but not all somehow?
 
8:31 PM
@NobodyNada Just the FIRE CSS?
 
Zoe
Reboot didn't fix it
 
@ArtOfCode Develop->Disable Styles in Safari
 
that's literally all the CSS ever
 
Zoe
> TypeError: report.se.post.owner is undefined
 
@ArtOfCode but would just Fire CSS break that much?
 
Zoe
8:32 PM
> Loading failed for the <script> with source “charcoal-se.org/userscripts/metapi/metapi.js?fire=1.0.29
 
@Zoe cc @Makyen
 
@Zoe does it say why?
 
@Zoe any more detail on that one?
 
Zoe
@ArtOfCode That's all it said
 
@NobodyNada Looks to me like the embedded dialog copy doesn't have CSS so it isn't hidden
 
8:33 PM
[ metasmoke ] ci/circleci success on a1fc47d: Your tests passed on CircleCI!
 
@ArtOfCode Oh yeah, that's the FIRE UI, my bad
 
@Zoe If you look at the network tab for that request, what's the details there?
 
@Zoe I get exactly that if I disable FIRE's CSS
 
Zoe
@ArtOfCode It's not showing up?
There's no network call to it at least
 
weird
 
Zoe
8:35 PM
I'm gonna disable some plugins
 
@Zoe Which userscript manager?
 
Zoe
@Makyen Tampermonkey
Disabled all the add-ons, and it's showing up. Looks like there's an add-on blocking it
I really need to start checking that first ^^"
 
@Zoe If you run localStorage['fire-user-data'] = JSON.stringify(Object.assign(JSON.parse(localStorage['fire-user-data']), { debug: true })); and then reload, do you get "Injected scripts and stylesheets" logged
 
Zoe
Found the problem. PrivacyBadger set charcoal-se.org to the blocked mode. which blocks calls.

That was why I wasn't quite sure and I put a possible in there.

It's borderline, but that could be interpreted as being "commentary"/explanation about what the site is
I haven't visited the site; does it use Wordpress?
 
I will visit it; give me a second
virustotal first :P
 
Zoe
8:44 PM
Doesn't specify
 
It's an e-commerce site built in WordPress
 
@Zoe One of the things I don't like about FIRE is that it loads resources from the network upon every chat page load. IMO, it should be stored as a resource with the userscript, so that it's getting a local copy, not a network copy. This would prevent this sort of thing from happening, and be less of a security issue.
 
[ metasmoke ] ci/circleci success on 971b595: Your tests passed on CircleCI!
 
Alright I put a NAA comment under there. When in doubt I will just come here again :) vanishes
 
Having it be a local resource is actually a relatively easy change.

I'm going to go with NAA, as it not blatantly spam. It's borderline, but I generally stay conservative in borderline cases -- flagging NAA as spam is much worse than flagging spam as NAA

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword with email in answer, email in answer, pattern-matching email in answer: Can you react to your own spell? by Kathrin Guss on rpg.SE
tpu- by WELZ
 
I emailed one of those spell doctors (had a whole back and forth), he's been ignoring my emails ever since I sent him this:
 
No rainbow Comic Sans?
 
He writes: "Only the items needed for the spell must be provided by you. You are hereby informed that you are to provide the sum of $324.00 USD"
I told him I'd like to see a price list and breakdown of everything
So he wrote a bunch of animal parts etc. so I explained to him that as a vegan, I could never condone the killing of animals etc. So he sent me a new price, which was higher ($368)!
 
Is there a tool/cron job/something that will automatically delete unused domain tags?

@NobodyNada tool, yes, nothing scheduled
 
@ArtOfCode Good -- there were a few typos like #driugs
 
ping me IDs and I'll nuke 'em
 
I was wondering how many days we'd go before someone typo'd #drugs
 
I think any admin can, actually. Can't remember whether that's an admin or dev tool :P
 
10:18 PM
@NobodyNada maybe they were on drugs...
 
@ArtOfCode Anything that's empty can go, if you have an automated tool that's easy to use
If not...146, 118, 147, 142 are the obvious typos/renamed
 
@NobodyNada I have a delete button for each domain tag... no easy way to find things that you don't have
all gone
 
great!
BTW, did you delete #warez? I was pretty sure I created it for something, but it doesn't seem to be there. Is there another one that serves the same purpose?
 
tpu- by NobodyNada
 
10:25 PM
@ArtOfCode admins can delete tags
 
@Art Apparently the list is paginated, but there's no pagination control
Also: the description for #warez says it's just general software spam, does that make it a duplicate of #software-utility? I was under the impression #warez would be for piracy sites & cracked licenses

Oh are you guys just checking for spamming.
Like people creating fake accounts and getting points from answering the questions?
 
@GettingNifty yep! We've built a bot, SmokeDetector, to find and report spam posts. See our website for more information.
 
@SmokeDetector ignore-
 
@GettingNifty No, that's more sock puppetry and voting ring detection, and we don't really do any of that.

Yeah because I mean you'll never beat every exploit.

@Art what do you think about renaming #fake-tech-support to just #tech-support? They sometimes give actual advice and just throw it all over the place
(assuming it's easy to rename domain tags, which it might not be)
 
@NobodyNada sure, why not
 
Make sure to let the dialogue roll.
Real measures are a lot more powerful than automated ones.
 
10:38 PM
Done
 
@GettingNifty what do you mean by that?
@ArtOfCode thanks!
 
I know why your a psychologicmelon.
 
@NobodyNada and then also the tags in the post, they are all over the place.
@SmokeDetector rude
 
@GettingNifty ???
@WELZ I've cleared my feedback, but I'm still not confident enough to flag myself
 
@GettingNifty If you're drinking at the moment... maybe take a break from SE so you don't unintentionally cause yourself grief?

Yeah, [] characters must to be \ quoted inside links for the link to work. If we don't want something formatted as Markdown, then we'll need to quote most of the Markdown formatting characters. In JavaScript, I use text.replace(/([\[\]*`_-])/g, '\\$1'); for text that's going to be inside a chat Markdown link and shouldn't be interpreted as Markdown (e.g. question titles/usernames). It's also a good idea to add an LTR Override marker (u202D) to change back from any RTL in those.

@Makyen It seems Left-sidebar in the Topbar has just stopped working for me?
> ERROR: Execution of script 'Left-sidebar in the Topbar' failed! null is not an object (evaluating 'thisIs.querySelector')
 
@NobodyNada Thanks for telling me. Yeah, SE now dynamically switches between having the right-sidebar and putting it in the topbar (looks very similar to what I had, but without different icons for the channel/public) & it's only when the viewport is <640 pixels wide. Unfortunately, they've done it in a way that makes forcing it into the topbar non-trivial. Even when I put it in the topbar, SE moves it back into the page. I'm working on a fix. I really don't like the right-sidebar.
 
@Makyen I hate it too, so much wasted screen space

tpu- by Makyen
 
11:25 PM
@NobodyNada Yeah, it's a ridiculous waste of space.
 
I don't get it, my words are like super chill.
 
I find the responsive change particularly frustrating, as I have a userscript which already made SE responsive (mostly), and was ~85%–95% to the point of a beta release when they announced they would be making SE responsive, so most of that work is basically a waste.
 
@GettingNifty You've been told several times that this chat room is not for general discussion.
 
Okay.
Well what's the topic.
 
36 mins ago, by WELZ
@GettingNifty No, this room is dedicated to spam fighting.
 
11:26 PM
I told you about spam.
 
@GettingNifty Look, take the point. This room has a very specific topic. Random spam factoids or streams of consciousness are not it.
 
And you're using a a bot.
 
Correct
 
What do you want me to do?
 
If you want to engage with what we do here, then that's cool. If you're here to talk about other things, take it to another room.
 
11:28 PM
I'll be working on the Left-sidebar in the Topbar a bit more later today. However, first, I need to figure out (& fix) why the changes SE made ~12–14 hours ago cause my browser to lock up the CPU & freeze for >30s every time I load an SE page (& it's not a userscript). It's almost as if they're doing some synchronous fetch which times out. I've just been putting out other fires since then, but I expect to have the time to deal with it shortly.
 
What am I, to you?
 
GettingNifty
 
I should be nothing.
 
@GettingNifty This room is for monitoring SmokeDetector, giving it feedback, flagging the spam it finds, tuning our blacklists and spam filters, and programming our bot, web dashboard and various tools. If you want to do those things, you're welcome to participate in here; if not, please find another room.
 
So how do I do that?
 
11:31 PM
Which one?
 
WHo?
 
@GettingNifty If you'd like to learn more details about what we do, feel free to check out our website.
@Makyen thanks, I appreciate it
