A: Area 51 shows incorrect time of private beta start

Anna LearArea 51 sets a fixed time largely for historical reasons.

(Come to think of it, it also doesn't account for daylight savings - launches used to be timed to...

inb4 @TimStone "That was already discussed on meta.se, it's a feature, it was removed on purpose, deal with it, you're a smart nerd
 
@jcolebrand ... is that not just the username/password combo?
 
@Bart no, actually, or if so, it's not clear that that's the intent.
Since this is an OpenID endpoint
 
I guess the real question is why you logged out in the first place ...
 
@Bart I didn't. I never log out.
Sometimes they forget the cookie or it expires or something. It also didn't pick up my universal login where the others did
 
2:48 PM
:)
 
user259867
@jcolebrand So, the report is that openid.se page needs to be updated because the new login form does not have a "log in with SE" button". Should be on Meta.
 
@NormalHuman Actually, if you would notice that I've been here a long time, I came here to make sure it's worthy of going on meta
You may have noticed my name in here is in italics
Just a momentary in passing comment ...
 
user259867
@jcolebrand Not that it serves any purpose...
 
@NormalHuman just goes to show that this isn't my first time here
When I'm online I'm usually lurking here
 
@jcolebrand It's the username/password combo, yeah
 
2:58 PM
@Undo Did they just silently convert everyone's email/password one day to openid in the background and I missed the blog post?
 
What?
 
Ok, let me start over
On day one: You could log into the sites with a email and password, simple account.
 
Right
 
Then they added OpenID support and that gave us google login, facebook login, etc
Then they added their OWN OpenID endpoint so that people didn't have to use Google or Facebook to log in here
Do you agree those were three distinct things that happened in the past?
 
Sure
 
3:01 PM
Ok, so now that we have established that there is an OpenID.StackExchange.com, and that there are support for multiple OpenID endpoints, and that originally there was no requirement for an OpenID endpoint, you can just use a simple account of email and password .... (question forthcoming)
Did they one day decide that every email/password combination -> became/converted to/something -> an OpenID.StackExchange.com account
Because I don't think they did
Those two things are NOT synonymous
 
Might have
That's the way the page reads.
 
Look at this page in incognito
@Undo in point of fact that's NOT how it reads, but we differ on our interpretation here and that's why I'm asking other people
Where's @TimStone or @balpha
They would be able to tell me A or B in a heartbeat :p
 
A Stack Exchange login was always an openid.stackexchange.com account
 
@TimStone when did they do that?
They need to update verbiage on sites XYZ, and update login pages on sites TUV
 
@jcolebrand @Bart is right, email/password is "log in with stackexchange"
 
3:13 PM
@balpha @:O#$KN#LKTBG)AJDSFA)DF@#NKLN#
Why did you change things?
#ObviouslyBalphaDoesAllTheCodeEver
 
#Obviously
 
@balpha do you guys want a bug report then to update the various lesser used pages on meta?
openid.se needs to be updated, data.se needs to be updated, I'm sure Tim's site needs updating since it was always just odd :p
 
@jcolebrand because unlike you (and me, who uses stack id but via delegation), you can't explain openid to a normal user
 
@balpha fair enough.
But once upon a time they weren't OpenID logins, right? :p
I can't recall if there was a blog post about this
waits silently while TimStone finds the relevant two links and pastes them here :p
 
the email/password fields you found on SE sites where always just proxies for stackid
 
3:15 PM
Intriguing
@Bart thanks
 
that was the whole point of creating stackid: have something that's still officially openid, and continue to support openid, but also have something that appears completely normal to users expecting an email/password field
 
@balpha so the underlying issue is that Server Fault didn't auto-log me in from my network cookie or whatever the backend mechanism is
 
what's your browser?
 
Two other sites did in the same browser (no fancy gimmicks, clicked three links)
Chrome stable latest
 
hmm what were the other sites?
 
3:17 PM
Version 44.0.2403.157 (64-bit)
Who else is having elections today?
serverfault.com/election/5 did not auto log me in
I forget where else I went
I was mostly just annoyed :p
 
year, anything below the .stackexchange.com domain is not a problem; sites with other domains are trickier because that involves 3rd-party-cookies. Do you have those blocked by any chance?
are you auto-logged in to Ask Ubuntu?
 
@balpha Not that I'm aware of
@balpha it didn't do the top toolbar redirect thing
but it does have me logged in
 
the redirect thing is a thing of the past
 
I say call it a fluke because it's not a .se.com site
 
either you're immediately logged in or you aren't

Q: Upcoming login changes (Stage 2 and the new UI now LIVE)

Anna LearAs y'all know, our current flavor of "global authentication" leaves a few things to be desired.

We are ready to roll out Stage 1 of Project "Make...

 
I bet I'll be logged in on askdifferent.com too
I am
 
It's almost like @jcolebrand doesn't obsessively stalk MSE
 
3:21 PM
@jcolebrand so for some reason the cookie was correctly set on AU, but not on SF
 
@TimStone he doesn't, it's official
 
Priorities, man
Uh oh, you're in trouble now
 
@balpha right. So I say call it a fluke :p
 
@jcolebrand yeah, that'd do it
if you log in (on any domain we have) now, you should be auto-logged in network-wide going forward (minus Area 51 because reasons)
 
that part failed on SF though, but worked on other non-se.com sites
 
3:23 PM
(Aliens)
 
@AnnaLear I always figured that was a completely separate product and had no bearing on SE except shared logins
 
and now not even that =)
 
@balpha Is it because I went straight to the election route?
@AnnaLear wait, do I need to rebuild a login over there :p #INeverGotoTheAliens
 
Anna is the expert here, I know nothing
 
@balpha depends on how often one goes to SF (or SU or any other SLD). we attempted to "grandfather" people into new sessions, but it still required a visit (at a time when things worked - we had a few blips along the way)
 
3:24 PM
In this case infrequently
 
ah, so maybe it's just @jcolebrand's fault for not enthusiastically visiting every SE site everyday
 
So I'm probably a remaindered blip

@balpha how DARE he!

@jcolebrand yay!
 
@Bart indeed. Now I need @AnnaLear to tell me if meta bug reports are desired for updating verbiage on login pages on various and sundry sites :p
 
The problem is that you're wrong, of course. So no ;P
 
@jcolebrand her dark glasses indicate "don't you dare bother me"
 
3:28 PM
@TimStone the verbiage is wrong, see my screenshot
There's no longer any button
And the data.se page needs to be brought in line with the general sites
and I'm sure your site is broken Tim :p
#ItAlwaysIs
 
@jcolebrand what screenshot?
 
oh, on stackid.
 
Aye
 
yeah, meta reports would be fine :)
 
3:29 PM
ok :-)
 
@AnnaLear Do you know any timeline for launching hardwarerecs today?
 
@NormalHuman now it's "yes, file a bug on Meta"
 
Ohhhh, I see the part you were pointing out now.
I get it.
TO META
 
@Undo We can't launch it today. :/ Two reasons: 1. we're having SQL server problems that make spinning up new DBs difficult. Gonna have to wait till we're back in NY datacenter next week. 2. We don't want to launch and then have a long weekend (labor day in the US) in the middle of private beta.
