[20:29:31] <Les4353>	 Hello, I cannot access gerrit, always got 429
[20:30:42] <bawolff>	 Les4353: you're probably being misidentified as a bot for some reason
[20:30:57] <Les4353>	 Maybe. How to solve this issue?
[20:31:32] <perryprog>	 check if you're using a proxy. iCloud private relay especially is sneaky about being enabled without you realizing.
[20:31:46] <Les4353>	 I am connected directly without any proxy
[20:32:35] <mutante>	 if you use a VPN, try turning it off
[20:33:34] <Les4353>	 My VPN exclude list is '127.*;*.wikimedia.org;mediawiki.org;*.wmfusercontent.org', so gerrit is not passed by VPN.
[20:34:16] <mutante>	 Les4353: in the 429 error page - there should be some crypting looking string in brackets. do you see that?
[20:34:29] <mutante>	 cryptic.. as in just some letters and numbers
[20:34:59] <Les4353>	 Varnish XID 7045209
[20:35:16] <perryprog>	 cryptid looking string; kinda resembles Sasquatch
[20:35:43] <mutante>	 Les4353: I meant something different. can you provide a screenshot maybe?
[20:35:56] <mutante>	 it should be right after the actual 429 
[20:36:02] <mutante>	 in (brackets)
[20:36:06] <Les4353>	 Error
[20:36:06] <Les4353>	 Too many requests (2eaaeee)
[20:36:18] <perryprog>	 wow, fun hash
[20:36:27] <Les4353>	 absolute rare
[20:36:51] <mutante>	 ok, so.. part of the issue here is that your browser is old
[20:36:58] <mutante>	 any way you can upgrade?
[20:37:23] <mutante>	 you are hitting specific list of "very old browsers"
[20:37:38] <mutante>	 if it was newer then this would go away
[20:38:04] <Les4353>	 Chrome 114 is "very old browsers"?
[20:38:16] <Les4353>	 :)
[20:38:44] <bawolff>	 Its because a lot of AI crawlers use user-agents of not up to date browsers
[20:39:15] <perryprog>	 And three years old is fairly old in web terms
[20:39:28] <mutante>	 something is wrong with the user agent then
[20:39:51] <Les4353>	 just update it to solve?
[20:39:59] <mutante>	 that would be the best fix, yes
[20:40:42] <mutante>	 also it means you were not logged in already
[20:40:52] <Les4353>	 Log in can bypass?
[20:41:11] <mutante>	 no
[20:41:21] <Les4353>	 Got it, updating...
[20:41:30] <mutante>	 well, with another browser :P
[20:41:37] <mutante>	 ok, great, that will fix it
[20:42:59] <Les4353>	 Also, I am new, what is the program to contributing into some project of Wikimedia
[20:43:36] <mutante>	 making gerrit work is a great start to that
[20:43:44] <mutante>	 you will need it
[20:43:47] <Les4353>	 haha
[20:44:06] <mutante>	 are you interested in MediaWiki itself or other things?
[20:44:13] <mutante>	 server setup?
[20:44:54] <mutante>	 if you want to contribute to MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker
[20:45:13] <mutante>	 if you want to contribute to server administration: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/q/project:operations/puppet
[20:45:36] <Les4353>	 I am interested to improve Codex, I found it in Wikipedia 1 years ago, and starting use it to build my website, and today I want to join to improve it.
[20:45:48] <Les4353>	 This community is really friendly and active.
[20:46:02] <mutante>	 great to hear that
[20:46:13] <mutante>	 so our bug tracker is Phabricator
[20:46:28] <mutante>	 here is the workboard and all open tickets related to Codex specifically
[20:46:29] <mutante>	 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/5587/
[20:46:53] <mutante>	 if you click "Open Tasks" you can find stuff that is already a ticket but nto done yet
[20:47:04] <mutante>	 if you click "Members" you can find people to talk to about it
[20:47:40] <mutante>	 on the left side menu you can also find a "good first tasks" link
[20:47:53] <mutante>	 where someone tagged tickets they thought were good for newbies
[20:49:44] <Les4353>	 May I open a task?
[20:50:50] <mutante>	 yea, you can 
[20:51:07] <mutante>	 bookmark this one: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/
[20:51:16] <mutante>	 this is the general page for all tickets in Wikimedia
[20:51:23] <mutante>	 upper right corner "Create Task"
[20:51:45] <mutante>	 "New Generic Task" is ok
[20:52:07] <mutante>	 just fill out Title and Description as if it was email title and body
[20:52:39] <Les4353>	 What is the "Assigned To" field
[20:52:42] <mutante>	 in "Project Tags" put "Codex". leave the other fields empty.
[20:52:52] <Les4353>	 Oh, I know that
[20:52:59] <mutante>	 that's for a person that is working on this ticket. but leave it empty.
[20:53:04] <Les4353>	 ok
[20:54:27] <mutante>	 normally we do not assign tickets to people. people decide to take tickets they are working on.
[20:54:40] <mutante>	 you can assign to yourself if you want to also work on it yourself.
[20:54:54] <Les4353>	 Oh, I know that, thanks very much
[21:06:13] <mutante>	 welcome to Wikimedia. cya later. out for now
[21:06:48] <Les4353>	 cyz
[21:06:51] <Les4353>	 cya*
