@gparyani fwiw, I don't think I even have discord installed
Oct 15, 2024 22:10
I'll let ya'll know if I see anything

@tripleee I don't have anything new in my inbox from them, this is the last thing I got:
Sep 5, 2024 20:14
Had it confused with a different project
Sep 5, 2024 20:14
@tripleee Yep, I was thinking later about how it probably was
Sep 4, 2024 17:16
@Makyen Ah, just the ones with that specific Onion link
Sep 3, 2024 20:02
@Makyen You’re right, of course, but this is on my list of stuff I don’t want to mess with at all. I only care because my domain is tied to all this stuff, and I’m not interested in dealing with some overzealous law enforcement outfit doing something stupid while they’re following the threads after nuking real CSAM
Sep 3, 2024 17:06
which is good enough for me
Sep 3, 2024 17:06
@CodyGray guessing from context it's an "index" that contains links to many .onion sites, some of them are probably CSAM
Sep 3, 2024 17:03
@Cow to be direct - if it contains CSAM of any kind, I'll drop all those references from MS.
Sep 3, 2024 17:03
we've seen that one a bunch of times: metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/domains/73102
Sep 3, 2024 16:58
I don’t think I’ve ever actually used tor
Sep 3, 2024 16:57
Yeah, it takes real effort to follow an onion link, so I’m guessing it was just from context that we’re assuming it was CSAM
Sep 3, 2024 16:56
I’m guessing no one actually followed the onion link and saw actual CSAM?
Sep 3, 2024 16:56
It wouldn’t surprise me much at all if GH has a list of onion hashes that are blacklisted. Those are long and unique enough that they could do it without any real FP risk
Sep 3, 2024 16:54
@Cow That would make some sense as a trigger
Sep 3, 2024 16:52
I’d be fine with writing off tor.se
Sep 3, 2024 16:51
it’s at some level of admin
Sep 3, 2024 16:50
@Spevacus I’m not involved much anymore, but my policy has always been that CP, and to a lesser extent abuse generally, doesn’t need to be in metasmoke. We have a button for nuking stuff specifically for that
Sep 3, 2024 16:49
law enforcement
Sep 3, 2024 16:48
I could see LEs having a workflow that looks like “kill Tor site, kill anything linking to it”
Sep 3, 2024 16:48
They’re .onion links?
Sep 3, 2024 16:47
CP is so radioactive that it might be counterproductive to try to prevent it
Sep 3, 2024 16:46
@tripleee wasn’t aware of this, might be prudent for us to drop those completely
Sep 3, 2024 16:21
What's crazy if this is an automated thing is that this is a 400+ star repo. Not a crazy number, but they should be able to derive a reputation score from who's starring repos and apply some sanity based on that
Sep 3, 2024 16:19
The places that have been backed off tend to have "telling the public to clone the whole thing, as part of a devops process" in common
Sep 3, 2024 16:18
Reading/writing from the tip are trivial O(1) ops for GH
Sep 3, 2024 16:18
@CodyGray Than the average, but not in a way that causes load
Sep 3, 2024 16:17
we aren't telling the world to clone stuff all the time
Sep 3, 2024 16:17
@CodyGray nah, the way we interact shouldn't even be a blip
Sep 3, 2024 16:12
@tripleee Microsoft paid me for a while and I think even that was a mistake
Sep 3, 2024 16:11
@CodyGray Sure would
Sep 3, 2024 16:10
@CodyGray So you don't have proof they still exist
Sep 3, 2024 16:09
Though the lower tiers are basically paid Gmail
Sep 3, 2024 16:09
M365 is, yeah
Sep 3, 2024 16:08
Striking everything with "genuine-nike-shoes-delhi.com" is the kind of thing that appears safe at first glance to a new PM
Sep 3, 2024 16:08
@Slate Yeah, that's my guess
Sep 3, 2024 16:07
@CodyGray idk, have you seen humans lately?
Sep 3, 2024 16:04
how funny would it be if it's a copyright strike from SE, for some 'good' examples we have in tests for CI
Sep 3, 2024 16:03
@CodyGray ^ Yeah, they didn't send anything

@ThomasWard Metric for impact on society: How many people you could piss off but choose not to
11
Sep 3, 2024 15:50
@SmokeDetector Didn't realize we were up to 10-char commit short-hashes, looks kinda cool
Sep 3, 2024 15:49
@ThomasWard you just haven't angered enough Brazilian judges
Sep 3, 2024 15:49
can't touch it yet
Sep 3, 2024 15:48
Fighting with people to do something good for them is draining
Sep 3, 2024 15:48
@ThomasWard Ya'll can do what you want, but at some point should consider whether the world is saying it just doesn't want the service we provide
