RoySmith added a comment to T332101: determine whether https://sitemaps.wikimedia.org still serves a purpose.

My first thought was that sitemaps made sense back in the days when dinosaurs roamed the internet. Then I looked at https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/overview to refresh my memory of why they exist. The main purpose is to enable web crawlers to find pages which aren't reachable by following the link tree from your main page.

The particular thing I wanted to do today is move a python wheel file which I had built on my local dev machine and wanted to install on toolforge. Checking the wheel into git would make no sense. The way I currently install my app is indeed to push the source to git and pull that down into toolforge, but I'm exploring if doing wheel installs would be simpler.

I'll add one more comment. Sometimes I've copied what I need over to /tmp because it's world writeable and worked with it there. From any rational security analysis, that's the wrong thing to do, but sometimes you need to get something done and you find a way to do it. If you make it easy for people to do the right thing, they'll do it. If you make it difficult for people to do the right thing, they'll do the wrong thing if that's what lets them get their work done.

I assume the CC button turns on closed captioning? Given that it's going to be illegable at this small size, I don't see the need for the button at all. And showing the user how long the clip is (0:14) seems secondary to me, so I'd leave that out below some size threshold.

@Urbanecm My understanding of +x for directories is that it it allows the directory to be used as part of a pathname (i.e. translating the path into an inode). Which effectively means you can't access the files in it. The fact that you can't cd into a directory is just a side-effect of that.

Can the Vector 2022 team publish a spec describing what types of DOM manipulations are allowed, and/or the appropriate hooks to perform them, and provide assistance in figuring out what went wrong in this particular case? In the ongoing RFC, it was stated that the team has committed to "Working in collaboration with gadget creators or other interested developers to fix gadgets by providing support and guidance. This could include anything from advising on why a certain gadget does not work to providing specific code snippets as fix suggestions". Closing a bug report on a incompatibility with a gadget as "invalid" does not seem like it is living up to that commitment.

It still happens with an empty common.js (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:RoySmith/common.js&oldid=1112513431) but safemode=1 makes the problem go away.

RoySmith added a comment to T317083: [Outreachy Main Microtask] Develop a web app for editing Toolhub records.

I guess I should introduce myself. Others will be taking the lead on mentoring, but I'm available to provide help as required. My main area of expertise relevant to this project is Python. I also have some decent familiarity with the Toolforge environment, but wouldn't call myself an expert in that. I'm only slightly familiar with the front-end javascript stuff, so probably won't be able to help at all on those topics. I'm a big fan of Test Driven Development, and would be happy to help people get up to speed on that.

RoySmith added a comment to T318479: Intermittent redis connection timeouts in Toolforge.

I see I'm a few releases behind on redis-py (I'm on 3.5.3). I'll upgrade to the latest (4.3.4) to see if that makes any difference. There's a few changes mentioned in the redis-py release notes that have to do with handling connection timeouts better, so maybe one of them will fix this. Worth a shot.

Is there a screenshot of what the new dialog box will look like?

As for why it's a png in a pdf, I blocked out the fields using annotations in the MacOS Preview app. The black boxes are undoable in the Preview file, so I did a print-to-pdf to make sure I had securely hidden the data under the black boxes.
