stopMakinRefugees
Hi all, have they stopped making the refugees yet?
stopMakinRefugees
Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I remember some lively discussions around the human readable b32 with 21 char idea. eyedeekay is that getting any legs?
stopMakinRefugees
As a refresher this is what a final mockup a while ago looked like:
stopMakinRefugees
Blinded message
stopMakinRefugees
btcoboy 2`—○
stopMakinRefugees
pkg3on7 3 ʃ⋃
stopMakinRefugees
7kl636o.b Ⲻ⋃

The idea was that they would go on business cards in a monospace font and look sexy and elevate i2p to a higher level. in terms of using them as links I'm interested in that too. It would rock if copying and pasting the raw text block into a browser URL bar would be somehow sent to the router and parsed to return the site, but I'm no expert in configuring how browsers send data to the proxy.
stopMakinRefugees
eg. copying the above to the url bar results in this:
stopMakinRefugees
btcoboy 2—○pkg3on7 3ʃ⋃7kl636o.bⲺ⋃
stopMakinRefugees
Hitting enter on the above doesn't cause browser to explode, but it does result in, "Hmm. That address doesn’t look right." lol

It looks like FMae is not around. Does anyone know when she comes on?
stopMakinRefugees
I'll come back then.
stopMakinRefugees
gotta go, bye 4 now

dr|z3d, fix take 2: cake.i2p/file/EHRUbfa6HR_EhnvNUdmmZS0FRSrfUJrAj0QWr1ORR_1WRWLQzH3L/metainfov2.diff
zzz
note one line change in servlet
zzz
tested both CLI and via console
dr|z3d
nicely done, zzz, thanks.
zzz
if it works
dr|z3d
well, you tested it, I trust your methodology :)
zzz
dont :)
dr|z3d
so the diff is the same as before except for the new servlet line?
zzz
no. start over.
dr|z3d
oh.
dr|z3d
I don't like the name of the getPrivateCode() method, that's super obscure.
dr|z3d
getPrivateTrackerStatus() would be more explanatory.
zzz
ok
dr|z3d
ok, zzz, confirmed, appears to work as intended. thanks.
zzz
thanks for testing, I put it up as an MR for eyedeekay to review
dr|z3d
such an obscure bug, it's taken 10 years to surface.
dr|z3d
bittorrent could have saved everyone the hassle by making that field either on, or absent.
zzz
the in-console edit is only a couple years old, but it would have hosed magnets also (that would have been even harder to catch)
dr|z3d
ah, yeah, true.
zzz
nah, we're still Doing It Wrong, I don't blame bittorrent or transmission
dr|z3d
well, we're doing it right now :)
zzz
no, that's what I'm saying, we're not. this is just a workaround for this very specific thing
zzz
if somebody made a torrent with yrmom=0 in there, it would have the same problem, but it's legal to put extra stuff in there
dr|z3d
oh, I didn't realize non-standard fields were supported. hopefully they're even more obscure than marking private as 0.
dr|z3d
is it worth doing a pre-check for anything non-standard and marking the torrent as uneditable?
zzz
maybe not explicitly, but there's always some new thing or BEP to jam more stuff in there
zzz
sure we can pile on more workarounds, or just fix it for good, but you know how it goes
dr|z3d
ok, probably not worth the effort right now until someone else reports an issue.

zzz re: !187 LGTM, merge whenever you're ready
zzz
thanks for the review eyedeekay :)
