[ metasmoke-deploy ] deploy started by Undo
So... I did nothing.
I ran the exact same code as is in DeveloperController in the console, and it started a build
I cancelled that build, and now the deploy button works
I foolishly didn't try the deploy button before running code in the console
The only thing I can see is apparently there's an hourly limit on API requests: stackoverflow.com/questions/31178682/…
For us remaining_requests appears to start at 10
Which is low, but I doubt we're hitting 10 deploys/hour often enough to think the button is broken
New site Drones and Model Aircraft launched!
New site Matter Modeling launched!
New site Matter Modeling Meta launched!
^ Ran from the cronjob like it usually would, so the API key change worked
6:09 PM
Yeah, it's ... really unlikely for us to do 10 deploys in an hour.
@Undo Nice. \o/
@Dharman Are you needing in the ballpark of only 10 pages of 100 entries? I ask, because if you're getting 100's of pages (each 100 items), a more complicated implementation where you have multiple requests in flight at a time is beneficial. With needing about 10 pages, it's reasonable to just do them sequentially.
I am not sure...
100 items is only 2-3 days on average
I need 2-3 weeks
I assume ~1000 items should be enough
There are 4 non-area51 posts in the last 7 months that need sites updated
249267, 253558 and 253559 for matter modeling, 250330 for drones

@Dharman The easier approach of getting the pages sequentially (while obeying backoff and errors) will work for any number of pages, within the quota limits, it's just not as fast as having multiple requests in flight at a time. The difference isn't all that much, as long as the number of pages is low. For a high number of pages, it gets quite noticeable to the human using the tool. For what it sounds like you're wanting, the easier approach looks like it's the way to go.
How would I do it in userscript? I have this at the moment:
`
function getHistory (userId) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
GM_xmlhttpRequest({
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/users/'+ userId +'/reputation-history?pagesize=100&site=stackoverflow&key=' + API_KEY,
onload: function(data) {
resolve(JSON.parse(data.responseText));
}
});
});
}
`
I need to wait for one AJAX to finish and call it recursively?
recursively?
You will probably find it easier to use the in-page AJAX calls, rather than `GM_xmlhttpRequest`. Given that you're making a request of api.stackexchange.com there shouldn't be the CORS or cookie issues to get around, which are the main reasons to use `GM_xmlhttpRequest`.
Are you doing this in an environment where you have jQuery, or are you wanting vanilla JavaScript?
jQuery
There is never too much jQuery

PR#4198 ("GH action security test") opened by user12986714
CI on 34bf1c0 succeeded.
@Makyen I've done this unilaterally just now. I'll soon leave the details over on #3893 after I wrap them up.
@user12986714 I find it nonsense, sorry.
@iBug OK, soooo... now we change the token.
6:42 PM
Plus, those tokens are created by GitHub for each run and expires after an hour. (wrong link removed)
sorry, wrong docs link, should be this one: docs.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/…
Oooh, GitHub has since changed that. The token now expires after the job completes (it used to be as I said above)
@iBug OK, but still, why ever intentionally expose the token, unless there's a need to know that the value isn't completely invalid (which could usually be done first by trying to compare it to blank/null values)?
@iBug That is not supposed to be printed out I think? I am not sure what The token's permissions are limited to the repository that contains your workflow. means in the doc.
@user12986714 It basically means the repository you're running Actions on / against.
Further more, I can just ping 127.0.0.1 > /dev/null to make the workflow run a bit more
@iBug So is it the host repo or the fork repo?
Check the docs. Tokens from PRs are scoped against the origin repo.
6:52 PM
That is probably not as good
which means if you create a PR from your fork, it has permissions to your fork, not the base
Pretty straightforward that such huge enterprise like GitHub don't make this kind of stupid mistakes
@Makyen Sorry, this should have been a reply to @user12986714
Such tokens from forked repos have read-only access to many stuff in the base repo
quite makes sense
@user12986714 Did you create that commit from your fork, or from making an edit in the main SD repo and submitting the edit as a PR. It looks like the latter to me.
Does user12986714 have push access to our repo?
@Makyen Pretty sure it's the former (their own fork on branch patch-xx)
7:04 PM
@Makyen The latter, but I have no push access so it will create a patch-x in my repo
too distracted to read and understand things properly :(
@iBug [bull] Claiming that just because an organization is big they don't make stupid mistakes, particularly about security, is ... very naive. Big companies do stupid things all the time.
The GH Action doc is really a big mess... I still cannot find a explicit statement about which repo that token really belongs to (expired so either way won't really matter, but...)
Ok, I managed to fetch 10 pages by using while loop.
My userscript works, but the problem is that it detects my account as voting fraud
I checked Makyen too, and it says there is no voting fraud there
@Dharman OK. Do you check for backoff in each response and delay the next one for the specified number of seconds if you get a backoff?
Not yet :D
How do I sleep in JS
can't sleep, but you can setTimeout
@Dharman You...don't. You use a setTimeout to call something else at a later time.
7:14 PM
How about await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 2000));
that's what I was about to suggest :)
However, if you're using async and await you can effectively have a sleep.
Well, at least we're all thinking along the same lines. :)
Will this work?
`
if(response.backoff) {
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, response.backoff * 1000));
}
`
Yes, that looks like it will work.
Why does linter complain?
7:18 PM
@user12986714 Quick note - when possible, do those security tests in your own repos. Poke one of us (me or Ward are decent choices, Makyen too) for stuff you want to test on the org’s.
Not so much because of any security threat, more so we don’t spend cycles figuring out what’s going on

tpu- feedback received
@SmokeDetector f
@Dharman Because JavaScript closure inside loops – simple practical example is a very common issue/source of bugs.
@Undo curious, why?
@SmokeDetector Looks legit, if misguided
@iBug Read the text; looks like someone trying to warn of a scam
7:22 PM
@Makyen Makes sense, thanks
Probably off topic and VLQ, but I don’t think I could defend spam on meta
@Undo oh, you're right
@Dharman The general solution is to, outside the loop, just create a named function like "delay" or "sleep" into which you pass a parameter for the length of time you want to delay and it returns a Promise which resolves when the delay has expired.
@SmokeDetector Whois suggests the domain identified as scam is registered on NameSilo LLC and is behind privacyguardian; therefore it is quite possible that the domain is actually scam and the post is just vlq
@SmokeDetector Also the domain is created on 2020-01-21T07:00:00Z
7:38 PM
@Makyen What do I need to do to make the userscript install automatically?
@Dharman What do you mean by "install"? There are a few different possible things you might mean.
When I view the RAW file in GitHub it should cause tempermonkey to recognize it
user435118
Do you have tampermonkey installed?
user435118
How about copying the raw code and pasting it into "make a new script" in tampermonkey?
7:42 PM
Yes, copying works, but I would like to enable it automatically
@Dharman If it looks like userscript code and is name <something>.user.js, then Tampermonkey should recognize it.
@Makyen That was it. I didn't add .user. in the name
@Dharman Yep, that would do it. :)
user435118
@Dharman How does it work?
7:58 PM
It adds a button under user's name on each post. You can click it to automatically check if the user receive any serial voting recently
user435118
How does the actual detection work?
@Dharman It looks interesting. I can't take a detailed look at it at the moment, because I had already committed to something else for a bit. I'll look at it after I get done with that.

HI
@Makyen Yes, something is very wrong; how can I send an anonymous email to the identified address?
user435118
@user12986714 Use the pubkey
user435118
@Chris Hi! Is there any way we can help you?
@Daniil That still exposes my email address; maybe I would register a new one
@user12986714 However you normally send an anonymous email? I'm happy to advise on how you might send an anonymous email, but that's something I would have expected you to have your own standards as to what level of security you're wanting to maintain, so I'm not sure my suggesting some alternatives is all that helpful.
As a general alternative, communicating privately via Keybase would also work. I hesitate to mention that option, given prior difficulties.
@user12986714 You could register a throw-away gmail account.
9:39 PM
@Makyen True
@user12986714 temp-mail.org
@user12986714 Obviously, you'll still leak some info to Google. In addition, you'll probably want to use the web-based interface for composing your email, as most ways of composing the email outside of your browser will leak your IP address, although I'd expect you to be using a VPN anyway. I'd have to check, but I don't think Gmail includes the local IP address when using the web-based interface to compose and send.
@Makyen Generally I am already giving away lots of info to Google/SE anyways
user435118
@user12986714 Why are you concerned about giving away your email/keybase?
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad ns for domain in body (1): Cross section of two cones by user3719901 on math.SE
9:50 PM
@user12986714 If you're giving away lots of info to SE, or MS, then most of the people that receive that email already have a lot of that info, if they want it, by virtue of being an SE moderator (obviously, not all of them are moderators, but a good number are). In addition, at least a few of the people on that list have access to logs on MS, which will have your IP address. OTOH, sending the email in a way that is not anonymous does result in sharing that info to more people.
@Makyen A email should have been sent, and the authenticity verification text is C";a(m6OT|AHk/|56hF(cB8Iog:?RNF:>AKUAs9HVzmEk*a-!AYz<n~S=B; it can be verified by echo 'C";a(m6OT|AHk/|56hF(cB8Iog:?RNF:>AKUAs9HVzmEk*a-!AYz<n~S=B' | sha512sum.
