All else aside: In the future, if you notice something on aditi adversely
affects your viewer, please don't be shy about raising it on this list or
in a JIRA. An early heads up may be helpful to other viewer devs, or it
will make it more feasible for the company to alter or postpone a change.

Re: [opensource-dev] SL Wiki locked down ?

2016-08-20 Thread Brian McGroarty
Please create a support ticket or ping Oz after one of the TPV meetings if
you would like to request edit access on the wiki. There is a ridiculously
persistent party who uses numerous wikis to promote fake Microsoft support
phone numbers. Given the fraud or malware potential, we couldn't let that
keep returning.

There's a less intrusive long-term solution in the queue, currently blocked
by other work.

 Greetings,

 During my never-ending viewer code cleanup efforts, I came accross an
 old floater, the Telehub one... If I am correct, I think this dates
 back from the most ancient times of SL, when it was not possible to TP
 all over the grid, but only to some pre-defined hubs... Fact is, since
 my fist day in SL, back in 2006, I never came accross one such thing
 as a telehub on the grid !

 I checked, and that code is still in the newest v3 viewer branches.

 So my question is: is there any practical usage any more for that
 Telehub floater ?


Telehubs are available to privately owned estates. I don't know how common
usage actually is, but they offer some unique features that aren't
available with parcel landing points.

These allow estate owners to:

* configure multiple spawn points so agents are distributed to multiple
specific locations within a region regardless of the attempted TP location
* set spawn points on a build and then move the build with ingress points
still intact (internally, the sim references target prims rather than
locations - it should even be possible to move an object with scripts to
prevent pileups, although I don't know if that's been tested)
* route teleports to a single region for teleport attempts into any other
region that's in the same estate, and where the alternate region isn't
configured to allow direct teleport

 With std::vector, you could also use array.at(i), which is equivalent.


 vector::at will do a runtime check if the index is out of bounds, in that

 vector::operator[] will not do this check, causing undefined behavior when
 accessing
 elements out of bounds.


Slight tweak: [] on out of bounds members is undefined, but specific
implementations may still check.

Most (maybe even all) STL implementations support bounds checking with a
compile flag. If anyone's eager to experiment, it would be nice to add that
to the debug build flags and see if debugging performance is still
tolerable on all platforms.

tl;dr: Heartbleed persisted for so long because even though checking
existed, the OpenSSL engineers built their own heap management that sat on
top of anything provided by the OS and compiler vendors' libraries. Then,
nobody created a unit test or other check that validated behavior without
their heap management in place. It should be The Least-Surprising Thing
Ever that the library then became uncompileable without the less secure
heap manager.

I don't see an argument for an expensive extra check in production builds
in either HeartBleed or our own use of vectors. Rather, making sure the
case is covered in unit tests and/or debug builds could save the day.

Re: [opensource-dev] Review Request: storm-1578: change default Away timeout to never

2011-08-31 Thread Brian McGroarty
What about removing the automatic disconnect instead?

Avatars are disconnected after some amount of time in the away state, which
is silly given how few resources a minimized viewer window uses. The reason
many people turn off the away timer is that they don't want to be
disconnected, not that they don't want others to know they will be
unresponsive.

Without automatic disconnect, we'd get a useful social cue back.

Re: [opensource-dev] Unjust Banning of residents?

2011-08-16 Thread Brian McGroarty
I looked at a few of the accounts from people who contacted security@ to ask
if this was a phishing message. In the cases I've seen, this corresponds to
accounts warned, suspended or banned for using features that violate the
TPV, such as copybotting, payment impersonation, or spamming features. Using
a viewer that's not in the TPV Directory is definitely not grounds for a
suspension.

You'd still need to go through governance to appeal any actions against an
account. But I've verified that support understands that unlisted TPV use
isn't grounds for suspension. They'll get that message template fixed.

 Violation: Third Party Viewer Usage
 You are connecting to the grid with a viewer that is not in the third
 party viewer directory.


 However...

 A viewer does not need to be on the Third Party Viewer Directory in
 order for development or usage of it to be compliant with the Third
 Party Viewer Policy (see Policy on Third-Party Viewers | Second Life)
 and the Terms of Service. While I am sure you are well aware of this, it
 can also be deduced through common sense that the open source program
 (Snowstorm, Snowglobe, etc) would not be able to exist in an environment
 where every personal compile had to be listed on the TPVD before it
 could even begin to undergo any form of live quality assurance
 processes.

 Long story short, unless there have been recent changes to the Terms of
 Service that I am unaware of, or if there are relevant sections that I
 have missed that indicate that a viewer that complies with the Third
 Party Viewer Policy still must be in the Directory to be legitimately
 used, I would request that you provide me with them.

 What this means is every single BETA tester for every client on the
 TPVD is at risk of losing their accounts because that compiled version
 of that client is not listed on the TPVD. Each and every Developer who
 has worked so hard to help Linden Lab build their Client into what it is
 is at risk of losing their accounts because each time they recompile the
 source it isn't listed in the TPVD and is now considered a Violation of
 some hidden TOS clause.


 I am posting this to this forum because I wanted to get feed back from
 the community. As I myself and a developer who has contributed patches
 to various TPVD Clients and am now finding myself cautious to even use
 these clients source codes to help them. I would like clarification from
 Linden Lab as well as other Developers on this new banning policy that
 is requiring every compiled client that connects to second life to be
 listed in the TPVD.

 Then, when you have a bunch of Crash Reports, you could compare them to the

 Just a thought.  Cannot stop my brain.  Best I can do is to not inflict it

Data is collected about viewer sessions that end in a successful logout, and
it's examined in much the manner you propose. I believe the aggregate data
is shared with Third Party Viewer teams and/or at the Open Source office
hours. I'm not sure if the lab has shared a recent breakdown against
different OSes and graphic chipsets, but that could be a good thing to ask

 We cal already play sounds, do textures why cant we play a animation by uuid

Repeating what was done with textures and sounds is a non-starter;
disallowing Second Life viewers from accessing animations by asset ID
was a conscious decision. I saw third-party viewers with built in AOs,
and people were passing AO configuration notecards around containing
asset IDs for animations. In many cases, I confirmed that users had
not obtained the animation creators' consent.

If reference by asset ID is important enough that you'd want to work
on it, lay out a proposal detailing what permissions could be baked
into an asset at upload time, and how the permissions could be honored
by all viewers. This would need to be done without the simulator
process having to parse the asset. Eventually we'll want static assets
served up on a CDN independently of the sim hosts, so it would be a
liability if the simulator process needed to download animation
assets.

Any proposal should maintain current restrictions against raw use of
existing animation assets, which don't have extra permissions metadata
attached. I wouldn't add anything that limits a proposal to
animations, either. If the same flags could be expressed when
uploading sounds and textures, content creators could express
permissions or new restrictions in future sound and texture metadata
too.

Re: [opensource-dev] Extended Groups broken?

2011-02-20 Thread Brian McGroarty
It might not be a viewer problem.

The group allowance is controlled by a config file on the login hosts and
the sims. The supporting sim code has been around for some time, so the sim
version shouldn't factor into it. It's more likely a config problem. With a
current viewer, search SecondLife.log for a line containing
gMaxAgentGroups and report what you see. Here's mine:

process_login_success_response: gMaxAgentGroups read from login.cgi: 42

Next, check what sim host you're on via Help-About... If you provide the
log line and the sim host, several Lindens on this list can check for a
config problem.

Also, some SL proxies don't pass new login fields properly. If you're using
an inspector or similar, have a try without it.

  I'm not sure if this broke in a previous build, but extended groups
 functionality is broken in build 221543 (Mac client). I can see and access
 the 29 groups I currently belong to, but the Viewer will not let me join any
 new groups or accept a group invitation from another resident. The only
 workaround I could find was to relog using the Viewer 2.5 release.
 
  I tried searching the JIRA, but there are so many groups-related entries
 I've had no luck trying to find an existing issue. Is anybody else having

One login server had been previously disabled after having problems. It was

It shouldn't be related. The only places I've see the cap referenced in sim

Have you tried it with group notice attachment delivery and receipt on the

 I'd be more concerned about capabilities URIs, myself. The login
 credentials are only the front-gate.


Ultimately, there's a big risk in using any third-party viewer. Getting the
initial authentication off of the third-party server narrows scope a bit. It
removes credentials that could have been used for real currency cash outs,
makes compromise of the third-party authentication server a less severe
problem, and improves governance's chances of slowing down bad actors
without having to take down a whole service. But, in no way do we intend it
as a safeguard against a malicious TPV dev.

 Well, we're really talking about transfer caps, here, rather than

 Available bandwidth can be appeased by the network slider.  But transfer
 caps are the biggest problem, and pretty much everyone in Australia is
 affected, and a lot of people on the less decent ISP's in the UK.


 and me.  17GB per 30 day period, in a sliding window.

 Point is still that caps will be increased as time goes on (or decreased,
 as international economic system collapses, but taht is a differnt sim).


Devs concerned about crazy-limited connections shouldn't worry about the
small changes that may someday come with a different image CODEC. They can
cut texture transfers in half -today- at the expense of texture blurriness.

A test should be straightforward, if anyone feels strongly enough to take a
whack at it. Add a texture fidelity slider that scales the measure the
viewer uses to decide what discard level it wants. See where you still find
it tolerable.

There were some fixes in 1.42 that dealt with a related MultipleAttachments

If anyone encounters this while logging in with an account where you've
crashed or logged out today or later, would you please follow up with me in
direct email? If you include the time and location at which you logged in,
as well as what the item names were, and which attachment point they were
on, it will help tremendously. Also, let me know if you flipped between 2.x

 me thought that whatever is listed on that page is available in the

I don't know about TortoiseHg specifically - but it sounds like you might be
pulling, but not updating. pull downloads changes but doesn't apply them
to your tree - they only sit in a database. update updates your tree. If
this is the case, there's probably a checkbox that allows it to
automatically update each time it pulls.

Has anyone spent time looking at the encrypted chat feature included in some

 They don't take the project seriously, and it's more than a little

 this kind of thing keeps happening, over and over again.

Appreciated - it's helpful to have this put plainly and publicly.

Am I right that the target server belongs to the guy who:

1) Was interviewed in a previous blog write-up about the IP  username
database and geolocation tool that he sought to show was built up for
Emerald Point visitors, Insilico visitors, and people creating
accounts via the Modular Systems website?

2) Demonstrated that Emerald wasn't removing usernames from paths
before embedding them in textures even after the team's first
attempted fix?

I know we already talked to the team and set some conditions after the
first one. The second one's been explained as a mistake that Modular
Systems would be willing to publicly acknowledge and correct - the
potential for collecting usernames would have to be in the viewer's
privacy policy otherwise, and it isn't to date. But that one of these
incidents was history and the second was supposed to be a mistake made
the hidden request activity all the more confusing.

 ... I guess that means the end for logging in with 1.x based viewers,
 does it?

Old viewers will continue to work. Old accounts would continue to log
in as they do today. New accounts log in with their username as their
first name and Resident as the last name. (For the difference
between username and Display Name, see the FAQ linked at the end of
the blog post).

Under the hood, for all legacy viewers and scripts, the only real
change is that new accounts created after some point will only ever
have Resident as a last name. The new Display Names won't replace
usernames in any location within an old viewer.

 How can we get this new feature cancelled before it ever gets
 implemented?  Seriously.  Very bad idea.

In the comments on that blog post, they say there will be a public
beta. I would:

1) Come up with insurmountable problems during open beta or provide
other convincing feedback on why you think it's a bad idea, and
2) get it in a JIRA that's linked to that project's meta JIRA (make
that if it doesn't exist yet - before open beta it may not) or get it
in the blog feedback from posts like today's announcement

This is correct. Andromeda Quonset will be Andromeda Quonset forever.
At some point, new residents won't be able to choose a last name -
only these will be Resident

No existing script function will return different results than it does
today. New script functions are added for fetching/referencing Display
Names.

 My interpretation of what was said is that the script using a 2.X viewer
 would NOT say Andromeda Resident, SL is just stating that users in the
 future will not be asked for a last name when they sign up, all new users
 after that point would have a last name of Resident, which the 2.X viewers
 would likely hide.

 It appears to me that if I create a script using viewer 1.X, it will
 show as being created by Andromeda Quonset.  It also appears to me
 that if I create the same script using a 2.X viewer, that it will say
 it was created by Andromeda Resident.

 Cursors are missing from the artwork...

 This was assigned to Soft Linden who closed it as 'resolved', but it is NOT
 resolved.
 Should I be confused? Perhaps it should be assigned to Merov?

I'm not sure what's up here. I sent Merov a link to the commit that
fixed this part of the export ~14 months ago, and have asked him to
make sure that change exists in whatever branch Snowglobe 1.14 is
exported from.
