This is mostly a project on Simply Secure side right now 15:00:55 <gaba> They are doing the UX research and we will work on it after is done. 15:01:09 <gaba> That mail I sent you is all the context I have right now. 15:01:11 <dennis_jackson> Okay thanks, just wanted to check I wasn't missing it. 15:01:13 <gaba> They will explain a little more 15:01:24 <dennis_jackson> great! 15:01:59 <gaba> Does anybody have anything for today? 15:02:17 * jnewsome does not :) 15:02:20 <gaba> As an annoucement Karten will be giving an OnionPerf presentation in the demo day on july 27th 15:02:23 * phw neither 15:02:33 <woswos> can I ask something since there is nothing in the agenda? 15:02:43 <gaba> sure 15:03:49 <woswos> So, I have been developing the “CAPTCHA Monitor” project and I tought the data I collect can be a good addition to the metrics.tpo 15:04:00 <gaba> yes, nice! 15:04:04 <woswos> dashboard.captcha.wtf/ 15:04:23 <gaba> woswos: do you have a gitlab account? we could add a ticket about this to see how to integrate it 15:04:33 <woswos> yes 15:04:58 <woswos> https://gitlab.torproject.org/woswos/CAPTCHA-Monitor the project repository is here actually 15:05:04 <gaba> the onion has an issue 15:05:09 <tomcat> woswos: cool! 15:05:12 <gaba> cool! 15:05:34 <woswos> ah yes, didn’t realize the onion issue 15:05:37 <woswos> thanks 15:05:44 <jnewsome> gaba: woswos: yeah,w as about to say that too. particularly a bad experience when you have tbb configured to auto-redirect to the onion 15:06:13 <gaba> it works in firefox just nice 15:06:15 <gaba> very nice! 15:06:32 <woswos> I don’t know what is wrong with onion but I will fix it 15:06:59 <woswos> so I have an api and I believe metrics can fetch data through it 15:07:05 <jnewsome> I'll ask if there's a tracking issue for getting back to the clear URL for cases like this 15:07:13 <gaba> awesome. Let's bring it back when karsten is around next week 15:07:49 <woswos> should I create a ticket? if yes, on which repo? 15:07:57 <gaba> yes please 15:07:59 <gaba> let me see 15:08:39 <gaba> maybe in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/metrics/website 15:08:54 <woswos> sounds good 15:09:33 <jnewsome> anyway, the metrics themselves are cool! it's a little unclear how it's counted though. is it % of exits that received a captcha at least once from any cloudflare site? 15:09:40 <jnewsome> (for the given day) 15:10:26 <woswos> I have a set of websites and I regularly fetch them 15:10:52 <woswos> and the percentage is the ratio of captcha_received/total_fetches 15:11:25 <jnewsome> so maybe the graph labels should be "% of fetches" instead of "% of exit nodes"? 15:12:01 <woswos> the analytics part is not ready yet, I spend my time building the infrastructure and I definitely need help with creating meaningful graphs out of the data 15:12:48 <jnewsome> gotcha. definitely useful data! 15:13:21 <dennis_jackson> More than happy to contribute stats feedback if/when it would be useful. I really like the project. Not only the tool and the presentation, but the documentation is really excellent as well 15:13:59 <woswos> thank you :) I’m glad that you liked it 15:14:24 <woswos> wiki has some more detailed info https://gitlab.torproject.org/woswos/CAPTCHA-Monitor/-/wikis/home 15:14:45 <dennis_jackson> I've been looking at it :) 15:15:27 <woswos> and I also started tracking non cloudflare websites as well, I need to rename the project :) 15:15:52 <woswos> like amazon’s cloudfront, recaptcha, etc 15:16:37 <jnewsome> nice 15:16:44 <gaba> this is so nice wowos 15:17:43 <gaba> do anybody have anything else? 15:17:53 <gaba> anyone needs help or have reviews that needs to be look at 15:18:37 <gaba> woswos: are ok if I mention this project when I send the notes to tor-project@ mailing list? 15:18:50 <acute> woswos: great project, and this is such an important thing to monitor too! 15:18:58 <woswos> sure 15:19:13 <woswos> thank you again 15:19:25 <gaba> ok.
