 hexa | yeah, it could just use the latest version from the cache | 14:13:09 |
 adamcstephens | ahh, this is the nix manual. https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/ redirects to nix.dev 🫠| 14:13:48 |
| hexa | it is just that hydra provides a stable link and that made it easy to proxy that | 14:13:49 |
| adamcstephens | https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/rewrites-proxies/#proxy-to-another-service | 14:17:14 |
| adamcstephens | yes, custom headers are an option for proxying | 14:18:24 |
| adamcstephens | or the request can be signed, but not sure what that entails on the other end | 14:18:51 |
| adamcstephens | In theory, something like this would give us a header we could trust on the hydra side: https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/compare/master...adamcstephens:nix.dev:random-header?expand=1 | 15:00:36 |
 Alyssa Ross | I don't think header forging should matter very much — if the scraper bots were smart they'd just use a User-Agent that doesn't look like a browser to anubis. | 15:26:18 |
| Alyssa Ross | (If I'm understanding what you mean by trust) | 15:26:43 |
| hexa | the anubis module unfortunately looks like … use the default bot policy or write your own | 15:28:52 |
| hexa | not sure how if it offers a knob to extend it | 15:29:04 |
| hexa | also not sure where botPolicy gets used https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/96ec055edbe5ee227f28cdbc3f1ddf1df5965102/nixos/modules/services/networking/anubis.nix#L58 | 15:37:52 |
| hexa | I can't find it referenced anywhere | 15:38:10 |
| hexa | ah yeah, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/401622 | 15:38:57 |
| adamcstephens | maybe "check" or "whitelist" would have been better terms. i'm not too worried about bots forging, but was thinking a known header we could explicitly validate is set on the anubis side. | 17:29:55 |
| adamcstephens | any header would probably work. i put a random string in my example because 🤷 | 17:30:48 |
| hexa | yeah, we can get more creative once bots adapt to these things | 17:31:40 |
 tpw_rules | Redacted or Malformed Event | 22:21:14 |
| hexa | not infra related, is it? 🤔 | 22:22:12 |
| tpw_rules | Redacted or Malformed Event | 22:24:29 |
| hexa | #nix-community:nixos.org | 22:24:46 |
| hexa | adamcstephens: thanks, I PRed your proposed change | 23:45:55 |
| hexa | and prepared to reapply anubis https://github.com/NixOS/infra/pull/703 | 23:46:15 |

| Kyle Robinson | I'm getting 403 on hydra but my user agent is normal:

| hexa | claims to be Chrome/130.0 | 19:44:12 |
| hexa | among other things | 19:44:23 |
| hexa | which is from 2024-10 | 19:44:52 |
