 tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> at this point I thought I'd add Gravatar with the following options: 1) it's enabled only if you enable in your profile and add a separate email to use for it (of course you can type the same email), and 2) you can toggle to hide all gravatars on the site in your profile | 20:43:26 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> but yeah tracking is a concern too | 20:43:56 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> Gravatar has two upsides: you can choose your avatar, and they have a rating system to avoid explicit avatars (dunno how accurate though) | 20:43:57 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> user-uploaded content is a problem because I don't want to do that moderation | 20:44:21 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> it's a liability | 20:44:30 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> didn't thought about moderation 😦 | 20:45:49 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> maybe you could proxy gravatar images server side to avoid tracking by them ? | 20:47:16 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> hmmmm true! | 20:47:51 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> don't know if they allow that though | 20:47:54 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> I need to read their terms of use | 20:47:56 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> 😄 | 20:48:30 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> looks like they feature libraries on their site that can programmatically download the images | 21:11:45 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> so it should be fine I think | 21:11:48 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> just need to write a good cache | 21:11:55 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> hey, this also solves the email problem | 21:17:14 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> since I don't need to reveal the email to the user. perfect! | 21:17:24 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> though of course it could be useful to be able to set a separate email for gravatar, I will do that too | 21:17:58 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> oh i though that the problem was about the gravatar side, didn't even though of the public url | 21:21:09 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> that's a good one | 21:21:12 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> gitlab link directly to gravatar :/ | 21:25:03 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> well I think if you proxy, at some point Gravatar can say "you're using us for free without giving any revenue possibility, so we're cutting off your access" | 21:26:05 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> and GitLab is big enough so they would care 😛 | 21:26:16 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> there is an option to upload a custom picture too | 21:29:15 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <atchisson> maybe it's to ease the transition from github, since they use gravatar too | 21:29:50 |

| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> image is cached in ETS storage (in-memory) for an hour, so it's not constantly requested from Gravatar API

| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> guess I should add telemetry to see if an hour is a good interval or too often | 21:30:08 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> since user email or hash is not revealed and request is not sent directly to Gravatar, I didn't have to implement a feature to hide them | 21:42:58 |
| 3 Jul 2020 |
| tunnelmaster | [discord] <Nicd> upcoming changes to privacy policy (date will be changed to match obviously)
