[ SmokeDetector ] GitHub Actions: success on 9b05340 by makyen in the master branch

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector ] SmokeDetector started at rev 9b05340e54 (Makyen: Merge pull request #12755 from tripleee/anerdw-charcoal-privs) (running on teward/Cerberus, Python 3.10.12)

Restart: API quota is 99048.

Makyen

18:24

That took a long time to restart.

@Anerdw No, not a problem, but if you want it to be the same on metasmoke, then you will need to manually change it there too.

@Anerdw We've added you to the privilege list for SmokeDetector (SD) here in Charcoal HQ, which also applies to several other rooms. You should run the !!/amiprivileged command to verify. It would be a good idea to read through the Feedback Guidance, SmokeDetector wiki, and SmokeDetector commands (in particular feedback).

If you haven't already read it, there's an Introduction to Participating in Charcoal. You may have already seen that introduction and some of the other things linked here, but this wall of text puts several of them in one place.

You may also want to look at the userscripts we have available (GitHub), as they can be quite helpful, depending on how you want to participate. For viewing, feedback, and flagging in chat, I find FIRE and AIM to be the ones I use the most. I also find SIM (install) convenient.

For flagging through the userscripts, your metasmoke account needs to be write authenticated with SE, which, if you haven't already done so, can be done from the authentication page and doesn't require you to also sign up for autoflagging, although authenticating is also a required step for signing up for autoflagging.

In addition, to enable manual flagging through the userscripts, the checkbox that says "Allow metasmoke to raise flags for my account" on this page also needs to be checked. If you have no entries in the "ID Site Count Flags Used Today" list at the bottom of that page, then autoflagging will still not be enabled, but manual flagging through the userscripts will be enabled.

Just so you know, we normally tell people when they are getting privileges that we practice the "ton of bricks" discipline method here: If you mess-up sufficiently, or consistently, we come down like a ton of bricks :-).

To quote ArtOfCode: "TL;DR: ton-of-bricks is mostly to say that we almost never need to enforce things because things enforce themselves through having a good community here. If it gets to the point that someone's enforcing something, something's gone badly wrong."

Quoting NobodyNada [with a bit added]: "Note that 'mess up' doesn't mean 'make a mistake', it means 'do something intentionally irresponsible/antagonistic' [or consistently do something wrong and not change when it's, repeatedly, pointed out]. Charcoalers are generally quite friendly, forgiving of mistakes, and willing to help each other learn. We recognize that our systems and policies have quite the learning curve -- so don't be afraid of us :)"

@Zoe-Savethedatadump Hey, I realized a while back that your Boson bot that archives comments doesn't archive hover titles (i.e., [Link text](https://example.com "hover title")) in comments, because those are not in the onebox that the system generates.

Can you please modify the bot so it checks for hover titles in links, and posts them in text after the comment if any links contain them?

Speaking of which, do hover titles work in chat messages?

Fastnlight

Yes. Yes they do

gparyani

Until such time as comment oneboxing is fixed to incorporate hover titles, the bot should work around the omission.

Cow

19:35

works for me too

gparyani

I ran into this because I was searching the Meta.SE comment archive for the text of a hover title I used in a now-deleted comment, but came back empty-handed because the system omitted it.

ArtOfCode

@Makyen I don't know whether to be heartened or slightly disturbed that that statement is still correct enough that I can be quoted on it five years later...

gparyani

@ArtOfCode I'd say heartened. It means we still function like an informal social group like we always have

Spevacus

ArtOfCode

Makyen

19:40

@ArtOfCode I'd definitely say "heartened". It means things are still working and haven't broken. :)

gparyani

@ArtOfCode Speaking of which, what do you think of my two pending code changes (github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/pull/10018 and github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/pull/12205) to SmokeDetector? It's been a while since those have seen action, and @Spevacus was really kind to test them for me to make sure they work. I hope they can be actioned soon.

ArtOfCode

@gparyani I'd love to say I'm still familiar enough with Smokey's code that I can competently review changes, but... I don't think that's the case :)

gparyani

@ArtOfCode Well, the code changes are on the more minor side, especially the latter one. They've also been tested, as I mentioned.

Design/philosophical feedback is also welcome. For instance, if there was a reason why back then the team deliberately decided not to put the type of watch/blacklist in PR titles.

ArtOfCode

The ideas seem reasonable enough. The code... I am not the reviewer you're looking for there :)

at this point I retain privileges on a mostly-emeritus basis

gparyani

In fact, that kind of thing is why I opted to initially post that as an issue for discussion and submit the code change next.

Spevacus

19:45

I was sad to see that you've elected to hang up your SE hat. I hope you know that, while we haven't exactly interacted a whole lot, in the times we have, your insight has always left a lasting positive impression. This project, despite the bump in the road with the Strike, has endured the test of time. I hope it's been communicated to you, and the other founders/admins, how important it is to the network.

@Jeremy The results here are unexpected. I'm currently unsure why that's the case.

@Jeremy Ahhh, found the problem. Your chat user ID on chat.SE had been changed from what MS had in its records for you. Those records were used to generate the configuration file for SD. It will be a moment for that to be corrected.

@Makyen github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/blob/master/… has the wrong chat.SE ID: it should be 355597, not ... ninja'd

Spevacus

@Makyen I think his users.yml entry is incorrect. If the comment is correct, his entry should be 851: [851, 355597, 134300, 1114] # Jeremy Banks . The stackexchange_chat_id is 1251 instead. -- Double ninja

Makyen

@Dragonrage It really depends on what's needed for what you're trying to match. I generally run multiple searches on MS in order to get a range that's as small as reasonable to catch what we've seen, and perhaps a bit more, if I think it's likely a spammer will do that.

If I'm investigating something, then I increase the upper bound notably in order to get more data, but with the expectation that I will revisit it in the not too distant future to see what the effect would be of reducing it (record what the current results are, so you can compare and know what the results are of just after adding the entry).

I've used various numbers, such as 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 160, 200, and 400, depending on what's needed for that particular regex. More values that I've used can be found in the existing entries.

In the initial investigation phase, I'd probably run 10, or substantially more, regex searches with various different combinations. After an investigation, it's not all that uncommon for me to close 100+ tabs that I've used to look into it.

Another thing I'll typically do is perform a more expansive search on MS to catch all of them, then copy all of the results into regex101, sometimes separated out into TP, FP, and NAA, and play with them there, looking at what the matches are, what's around the keywords I've selected, etc. It's not uncommon for me to have multiple such runs in a single investigation.

As a side note: MS has some strange-isms with respect to the maximum permitted spread in a {x,y}. I'm not recalling what those limits are. I'm just remembering that they exist, and they make using larger spreads ... inconvenient (e.g., multiple searches with various brackets, or multiple paths through the regex, such as fo(?:o{0,1000}|o{1001,2000}) instead of foo{0,2000}).

@Makyen crypto.*recovery gives 1120 results, 1112 TP, 5 FP, 1 NAA. 0-500 gives 1078, 1071 TP, 4, FP, 1 NAA. 0-300 is 1014 records. 0-200 is 968 records. and 0-100 is 868 records

Makyen

@Dragonrage OK. Look at the results at the higher end and see what you are/aren't catching (the actual text). That the words are so far apart in some cases tends to indicate that it might not be all that great of a combination for those posts, but then again, it might. Not every entry needs to catch every post.

Dragonrage

@Makyen cool. Ill try that out and see what i get. and yeah thanks for the reminder.

imagine though. the perfect regex that caught all spam. it would be an abomination i dont think anyone could parse

Makyen

@Dragonrage Well, to a large extent we could do very close to that by combining everything we have. It wouldn't catch everything, and there would be data that wasn't retained, but we could go a long way. You're right though, it would be one quite large regex. :)
