@Blaze Hi!

Blaze

[Blaze] hi!

Annonomus Person

00:04

@Blaze Is @Undo behind you?

Blaze

[Blaze] yeah

Annonomus Person

@Blaze... awwh I thought you would repeat things. Then I would say "I hate my owner!"

Undo

:P

Annonomus Person

But it didn't capitalize the "Hi!"

So @Blaze what does the chatbot do exactly?

It feels hot in this room... :P

Undo

ask @hichris123 :P

Annonomus Person

00:08

@HiChris What exactly does the chatbot do?

I've seen the website...

Blaze

[Blaze] test

Undo

yay!

Annonomus Person

@Undo What's yay about? It's been saying that for a long time :P

Not really useful.

Undo

but it's saying it in different ways

Annonomus Person

Oh the logo is based off the Glymphicon?

Undo

00:11

yeah

Annonomus Person

@Undo You're using different [ENTER] keys? :P

Undo

Annonomus Person

[Blaze] answer flagged as horrific: test

Undo

@hichris123 ^ Getting closer!

Annonomus Person

00:15

Cool... but did it really flag it?

Undo

well no

that's our job

you flag it on Blaze and Blaze posts it here

Annonomus Person

I see...

hichris123

00:38

@AnnonomusPerson It should post comments/answers/questions to flag.

@Undo Yay!

@Undo So what's left to finish?

hichris123

00:54

@Undo Did some work... commit

Annonomus Person

@hichris Do you have a dev. server for this?

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson Nope... I can locally host it, or I can host it on my server though...

Annonomus Person

And use the server's DB?

hichris123

It doesn't need one.

Annonomus Person

php.net/password-hash Lol it recommends you let the function automatically generate a salt... the only problem is that you don't know the salt and you can't verify it with a password XD

The salt always changes :P

Undo

01:04

@AnnonomusPerson I have a dev environment, but I'm kinda doing this kind of stuff for moneys :P

@hichris123 oh. I already made the flag button in HTML, let's see who's looks better :D

Annonomus Person

@Undo rotfl I thought it said "monkeys" at first... but how can you profit from a flagging site (unless @HiChris pays you and you throw in a diamond in the detail)

@Undo Wouldn't they look the same with bootstrap?

Undo

@AnnonomusPerson no, for other projects that pay moneys

so I have it so I might as well use it for these kinds of projects

@AnnonomusPerson well placement and such might make a difference.

Annonomus Person

@Undo Like what? Selling designs or do you have other sites?

Undo

@AnnonomusPerson I do consulting.

Annonomus Person

@Undo True. You did only say button.

@Undo What kind? Security?

Undo

01:07

@hichris123 Have a screenshot of yours?

hichris123

@Undo Noo... :P

Annonomus Person

@Undo You sometimes need it, too! :P

I'll judge it.

Undo

Annonomus Person

hichris123

Hmm... will it work locally?

Let's see:

Annonomus Person

Undo

@hichris123 In theory

yes

let's pull yours to main

hichris123

Okay, that's easier. :P

@Undo Mine needs to be red.

Annonomus Person

Can't you just post a screenshot?

hichris123

I like that part of yours. :P

Undo

Annonomus Person

@Undo Screenshot plz?

Never mind.

hichris123

01:14

@Undo Make it the red you had.

The grey blends in too much... and I like the red. :P

Undo

okay

hichris123

I think it's bold too... right?

Undo

yeah

Seth

Hrmph.. By jumbotrons don't have rounded edges and I can't figure out why.. :-/

Annonomus Person

@Seth Change CSS:

jumbotron {border-radius:3px;}

Seth

01:18

hm, I'm using the minified CSS. I'll see if I can though. It said if I put a .container withing the jumbotron it would get the rounded edges though.. (on a related not, jumbotron is way harder to say than hero box/unit)

I wait, I read the documentation wrong.

Undo

@hichris123 Red applied

It's actually the color of the undelete button :D

Annonomus Person

@Seth I don't get it with the standard CSS either...

Just do the CSS.

hichris123

@Undo I like it. :D

Seth

oh and I was using the CDN. Guess I'll have to download it now :P

hichris123

@Undo You have a main URL or are you just using erwaysoftware.com?

Undo

01:23

just use erwaysoftware.com, yeah

Annonomus Person

flickr.com/photos/suckamc/10414304235

Does that look good on retina @Undo?

hichris123

@Undo Pull plz?

Undo

okay

@AnnonomusPerson no idea

Annonomus Person

@Undo Didn't you have a Mac with retina? @HiChris was asking you other images looked good on retina...

hichris123

Tell me when pulled @Undo.

Annonomus Person

01:25

Ohh never mind :P

Feb 19 at 21:24, by Undo

@hichris123 no, my laptop isn't Retina

Undo

My iPad is

which is currently sitting beside me and I'm too lazy to go to this room

Annonomus Person

@Undo :)

hichris123

@Undo Pulled?

Undo

yeah

I just barely added my config file, though

hichris123

Drat. No worky.

Seth

01:28

@AnnonomusPerson Didn't work :-/

Annonomus Person

@Seth Let me double check my code...

Are you sure that it's not there and that it isn't there but just not visible?

Seth

I take that back, it sorta worked (I had my CSS files in the wrong order)

Doesn't look like the jumbotron in the example though. I never had this problem before.

Annonomus Person

@Seth That makes a huge difference. If you want to, add !important.

Seth

Did SE just glitch?

@AnnonomusPerson Yeah I have it set to important too..

Annonomus Person

@Seth I think

I got logged off.

Ummm how does it look different?

Seth

01:33

just a minute. Let me make my box bigger and compare it with the one on the bootstrap site.

Annonomus Person

k

Seth

hm, not quite as rounded as the example.

I thought it was supposed to be rounded by default though.

Annonomus Person

@Seth Is that all? Just change it to a higher number (try 6px)

Seth

alright.

8 looks okay.

Thanks @AnnonomusPerson. My CSS needs honing :)

Annonomus Person

Does it look right now?

Ok never mind :P NP

@Seth Glad I could help.

Going to leave soon everybody... bye!

hichris123

Undo

hichris123

@Undo Well, could you just check if you're getting any errors in the logs?

Undo

not atm

give me about half an hour

maybe fifteen minutes

hichris123

k, whenever you have time.

hichris123

@Seth Oh, it does work.

ManishEarth

@Undo ?

Undo

@ManishEarth So I'm using exec in PHP to run the Python chat poster gizmo. That's known as not secure, right?

ManishEarth

seems ok

3ventic

20:50

why would it not be secure?

ManishEarth

Though if you are running a web host it is a good idea to disable shell_exec entirely

Undo

Well because someone could type something bad in it and it gets put in as a python argument, @3ventic

like an injection

3ventic

Well, of course you need to sanitize the input first :p

Undo

does escapeshellarg do that?

3ventic

idk, escapeshellarg broke my scripts that used exec completely and I had to write my own function for it

ManishEarth

20:53

@Undo oh yes

@Undo what are you feeding to it?

yes, exec injection exists

Q: Best way to sanitize exec command with user inserted variables

I'm coding a web interface to a horrible piece of propitiatory software our company uses. the software has no real UI and requires us giving putty access to our system for our clients to even pull data. My web interface has to run an exec(); function and it has to pass a few variables the user in...

Undo

20:54

@ManishEarth well ideally only URLs. But in reality anything anyone that knows the POST wants :P

ManishEarth

So use the escapeshell thing

Or be a good boy and run the entire server side thing as a Flask app ;p

Undo

I'd like to use the SuggestedEditVotes table (which is available in SEDE) to find robo-reviewers. I'm often offline without connection to SEDE, and I want to do something remotely productive during those times. I'd like to have the table locally. I could run a bunch of paged queries, downloading...

feature-request data-explorer data-dump

hichris123
