| 07:10:38 | gevaerts | speachy: there seems to be a weird encoding problem in the topic on https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,53340.msg246319.html#msg246319 (the last post only, earlier ones are fine). Could be client of course, but I thought I'd better point it out |

| 08:03:28 | speachy | gevaerts, if the client used %u##### syntax that's a client thing; the server uses straight-up unicode and won't emit that stuff. Do you have the original post? |
| 08:16:04 | gevaerts | All I know is what's there |
| 08:35:59 | speachy | I changed the database table type to innodb and encoding to utf8mb4 across the board, but that unicode syntax has nothing to do with it. |

| 15:47:53 | bluebrother | I've been thinking about the Rockbox Utility root issue on macOS. |
| 15:48:47 | bluebrother | there's this Authorization thingy in the system. An application can request authorization and then run things with elevated permissions, i.e. in our case as root. The main problem here is that a process cannot elevate itself but only call a separate binary. |
| 15:49:32 | bluebrother | so all functionality that needs to be elevated should be done in a separate helper binary. The things in Rockbox Utility that need this aren't designed in that way. |
| 15:51:06 | bluebrother | a rather simple option would be: have Rockbox Utility check for a magic file on startup. If that file exists call a helper binary and quit. That helper does the Authorization and then calls Rockbox Utility again. This time the magic file doesn't exist anymore (it has been deleted before calling the helper) so Rockbox Utility starts up normally, but elevated, i.e. as root. |
| 15:52:14 | bluebrother | The magic file can be created when the user selects bootloader installation for a player that needs root. I.e. if a player is selected where the bootloader installation needs root and the user enabled bootloader installation show a message box that asks the user to restart Rockbox Utility. Write the magic file and exit. |
| 15:52:58 | bluebrother | That way Rockbox Utility will only run as root when the user also installs the bootloader. When only updating Rockbox, creating voice files or the like it runs with user permissions. |
| 15:54:16 | bluebrother | This is suboptimal since we have a network application running as root, but at least its limited to this special case. It also kinda ignores the security stuff macos wants the application to do. But it's rather simple to implement. |
| 15:55:03 | bluebrother | Reworking the bootloader installation into a separate helper binary would be a lot more work (since we want to communicate with the process etc.) |
| 15:55:21 | __builtin | it's definitely easiest to keep all the functionality in one binary |
| 15:55:34 | bluebrother | I have a first prototype of the Rockbox -> helper -> Rockbox stuff, and it seems to be working. |
| 15:55:40 | bluebrother | so ... thoughts? |
| 15:56:20 | bluebrother | (the cryptopp issue on macos is also still open, but I started to think about this, given this recent "discussion" on the forums) |
| 15:59:13 | bluebrother | having a separate helper for elevated stuff would be the cleaner solution, and that would also be useful on Linux −− instead of running Rockbox Utility suid root (ugly, Qt doesn't want me to do that and I have to explicitly tell it to ignore that) we could call gtksu or similar for the elevated tasks. But then again there's the additional work for that, and the not-really-available time :) |

| 20:13:16 | _bilgus__ | and the build history isn't showing either |
| 20:13:18 | speachy | no, the build hook lost its mind |

| 20:28:16 | _bilgus__ | oh I guess it didn't even try thanks speachy |
| 20:29:05 | speachy | the query it's using to generate the listing pages is reverting to a linear scan of 1.8 million rows, not using the indices at all. |
| 20:33:03 | speachy | server's load average is over 20 now. wow. |
| 20:39:52 | _bilgus__ | jeez just the build server or like for the website as well? |
| 20:43:11 | speachy | it has 12 cores so a load average of 20 isn't _that_ bad, but.. wtf. |
| 20:44:18 | _bilgus__ | prob something going wonky? |
| 20:44:48 | speachy | probably need to disable the server's build client. |
| 20:45:49 | speachy | but the wiki's been getting hammered by bots lately. each one in of itself is fine, but there are a lot of them trying.. |
| 20:46:00 | speachy | the wiki is _very_ expensive on a per-pageview basis. |
| 20:46:55 | _bilgus__ | maybe a simple captcha would be a good idea like whats 10 plus two |
| 20:49:32 | speachy | it spawns an entire perl interpreter per request. |
| 20:50:04 | speachy | the overhead is immense, even for stuff that's nominally in the page cache. |

| 22:35:51 | speachy | but the sql query.. remains pathological. the indices work when the two fields are sorted in the same order, but when the order is different, mysql reverts to linear scanning. |
