I have a 2 letter github username and get tagged often, I sometimes "approve the PR".
- Tomte 3y agoGitHub even sends me a notification mail when my two letters appear in some large base64-encoded string.
- voyagerfan5761 3y agoOK, that sounds like a bug unless those two letters happen to be directly preceded by `@`.
- justsomehnguy 3y agobase64 encoding does not include spaces and short strings are padded (and there is no '@' in RFC4648), so I wonder how this works too.
- taneliv 3y agoCould be one of the sibling encodings, like base85 or uuencoded, perhaps? From afar they could look sufficiently similar to base64 that OP got them mixed up?
- justsomehnguy 3y agoThere are some encodings with @, but the problem is why it would trigger notification in aslkdjfhkj@tanelivasdklfjhasdfasdfasd or in, the best case: faskjdhgfkajshdgfasldfhaksdjf@taneliv In both cases there are something before @ and it's not \s or ^
