I'm back to not being able to upload pictures in logs, but now also the file upoad doesn't work anymore, so I can't work around it this time.

Are you sure? yes | no

Hey so we are running some new hardware and from my point of view it looks like one of the servers might be misbehaving, but I have Operations checking on this.

Are you sure? yes | no

I created a profile yesterday and I'm unable to upload a profile picture. Maybe this is a similar issue.

Hi, there is an issue with SSL certificates on dev.hackaday.io (Error: unable to get local issuer certificate when trying to log in), is it possible that they are outdated? (i did update my list of trusted certificates locally) Looking at the comments in the API support page I m not the only one experiencing this.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/16/2024 at 18:01

Yep sorry we need to make some changes to get the dev api working again, stay tuned.

Are you sure? yes | no

William Schueller wrote 10/17/2024 at 16:29

Thanks for looking into it! But the api itself seems to work, right? (with empty token i get a valid json 400 response) Would it be possible in the mean time to get an API key by email/PM ? And maybe also the content of the API info page?

Are you sure? yes | no

William Schueller wrote 11/11/2024 at 12:53

Any news on the dev.hackaday.io issue?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 11/11/2024 at 12:55

Yeah we have a new environment built and are verifying some additional details. I don't have an estimate yet but there is progress.

Are you sure? yes | no

Surely letting newly minted accounts post unlimited pages is asking to be spammed. Bona fide hackers don't need to post that heavily. How about implementing user quotas and rate limiting?

Are you sure? yes | no

Rogan Dawes wrote 10/16/2024 at 09:38

Agreed, example being OSHWlab.Hawaii who has spammed me.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/16/2024 at 14:42

The spam has been heavier recently and we have been focused on some hardware upgrades. There is another release planned first, then we will be able to implement something for new accounts and pages.

Are you sure? yes | no

Hey can you give Hackaday.io a good refresh in your browser and try this again.

Thanks, Richard. I confirmed the editor is back online. It seems the editor is updated now.

I notice that 'show more tag' is missing both in editor and contents. Can I insert the tag manually ?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/16/2024 at 14:40

I'll look into it, atm I'm seeing the 'insert read more tag'

In html mode it adds:
"<div class="read-more-tag">---------- more ----------</div>"

Are you sure? yes | no

Thanks again. It worked for me.

And I can't upload images to projects in the "Edit Project" section or in a log, it throws an error with above picture and this. one https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/1978038462803552/IMG_20241013_232937.jpg

Only the files section worked for it and I'm linking to the files instead in the logs.

done - looks the same to me. Chrome Version 129.0.6668.91 (Official Build) (arm64)

hope you meant the gallery, I assume the upload is the 500 error in disguise that I see so often.

Archive.org have been attacked and went offline to prevent further damage.
They are a massive online library and some publishing houses are taking them to court to prevent them operating as usual. Maybe they are behind it, or a hostile power wanted to use them as target practice for internet warfare.
Hackaday.io is relatively small, but has it got enough security measures in place?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/15/2024 at 20:15

Hackaday.io undergoes regular penetration testing for vulnerabilities.

Are you sure? yes | no

Keith wrote 10/15/2024 at 21:31

Great, thanks. I realised that I had no way to replace most of the work I put in my projects, unlike much of archive.org that could be scanned again.

Are you sure? yes | no

I know your software boffins have been plugging injection vulnerabilities in your website, but here's something they missed. When the subtitle for a project contains an apostrophe, the website converts it to the HTML entity ' but this is not rendered correctly when the project is viewed. For an example, see #Ancient 12 hour display where the subtitle is shown as "Old LEDs don't die, they just shine away"

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/11/2024 at 14:59

Will take a look thanks.

Can this website please stop automatically adding liked projects and people followed to new joiners' home pages?
Project creators want to know what people genuinely like, so they can judge which projects to invest more time on.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ken Yap wrote 09/16/2024 at 02:24

The only project that a new user follows is the Hackaday project itself. Many of those "followers" are spammers who try to make their accounts look "active" by following random projects.

Are you sure? yes | no

My young friend asked why he was following 22 people when he'd only just joined.

Could be a HaD glitch, not unknown. When I joined, I just got the basics.

davedarko wrote 09/16/2024 at 08:41

I think as part of the on-boarding you are asked what projects that are shown are sparking your interest, which then leads to you follwing those.

Are you sure? yes | no

Keith wrote 10/13/2024 at 15:38

It is definitely not part of on-boarding, because it happens before any declarations of interest.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ken Yap wrote 08/28/2024 at 11:59

What are you guys doing about making it harder for spammers to post their "projects"? It seems there are more spam postings than genuine projects. Is it a good idea to piggyback on Github authentication? Do you require mail address verification before enabling an account? Do you screen posts that have a huge proportion of links? Can you filter out certain languages, particularly the one that casino spam is posted in? They probably have slave workers forced to post their spam.

I also see that testers (I assume your own) are still discovering holes with Javascript injection. One popped up windows when viewing the page. Another created a form to be filled in.

Are you sure? yes | no
