| brobostigon | my new gf had a very strange idea, she thinks her having things i am allergic to, will have an affect on me, i dont see how to be honest. | 09:48 |
| shauno | it's logical, if the effects she has in mind are benign, along the lines of "jealousy" | 09:52 |
| brobostigon | ummm ? | 09:52 |
| shauno | well, if she has something you're not allowed :) | 09:52 |
| brobostigon | yes, me allergies. | 09:53 |
| brobostigon | my* | 09:53 |
| christel | i'm allergic to penicillin, i have anaphylactic reactions to it -- i don't think i'd be too bothered if someone else took some penicillin | 09:53 |
| christel | however, if i was allergic to say ... i dunno, bacon | 09:54 |
| christel | then i would definitely be a tad upset and jealous if my other half was baconing :D | 09:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | if you were allergic to bacon there'd be no reason to go on :-p | 09:54 |
| christel | zmoylan-pi: very true! | 09:54 |

| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch | ||
| ali1234 | i've explained this before but what you do is start with 1 tea bag in the morning. you put in enough water for two cups, pour one, and then leave the rest to stew. then when you want another cup you add enough water for another cup and pour immediately (because the tea that's already in there is really strong now) | 11:57 |
| ali1234 | the water you put in "warms up" the cold stewed tea (and dilutes it enough for it to be drinkable) | 11:58 |
| Laney | and have to boil the kettle each time? | 11:59 |
| ali1234 | well, we've got one of those boiling-water-on-tap things | 11:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | i always found the boiling water on tap things not hot enough | 12:00 |
| ali1234 | but you can also get kettles which boil small amounts of water | 12:00 |

| MartijnVdS | https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/2j7fyc/ | 20:01 |
| foobarry | but....i'm busy tomorrow | 20:02 |
| diddledan_ | oh god, not another one? | 20:03 |
| foobarry | only register mentioned it? | 20:04 |
| MartijnVdS | and some guy in linkedin | 20:04 |
| foobarry | Maintainers have kept quiet about the vulnerability in the lead-up to a patch release, which is expected in in the late European evening, | 20:06 |
| foobarry | thats now | 20:06 |
| foobarry | http://thehackernews.com/2014/10/nearly-7-million-dropbox-account.html | 20:10 |
| foobarry | oh | 20:10 |
| shauno | it's still quite disputed whether they were actually dropbox credentials | 20:14 |
| foobarry | yeah,m just reading the thread | 20:15 |
| foobarry | and lame passwdz anyway | 20:15 |
| shauno | well that's dropbox's version of events. that the list is from elsewhere, and they just throw them all at dropbox to see which stick | 20:16 |
| shauno | but the whole 'btc for moar' thing means there's a profit incentive in making them sound jucier than they are | 20:17 |
| shauno | (if you search for any of them, you'll find the same list repeated again and again, being offered as facebook logins, snapchat logins, etc, all for btc) | 20:19 |
| foobarry | meh | 20:20 |
| foobarry | back to the ssl rumours then... | 20:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | didn't ms say recently it was safe to reuse passwords? | 20:20 |
| diddledan_ | I'm sure nobody except a PR guy would say such a thing | 20:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/07/16/redmond_says_password_reuse_is_more_than_okay_its_necessary/ | 20:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | a proper paper on why and all, whoops | 20:23 |
| diddledan_ | except they completely ignored the idea of a password vault | 20:26 |
| diddledan_ | e.g. lastpass | 20:26 |
| foobarry | http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/151?m=18151930#18151930 | 20:29 |
| foobarry | ssl discussion | 20:29 |
| MartijnVdS | So.. time to upgrade everyone to modern TLS.. too bad oldWin won't be upgraded | 20:43 |
| MartijnVdS | we have customers who only last month upgraded to IE10 | 20:43 |
| diddledan_ | we still have to pander to IE9 (I refused recently to go as far back as IE8 :-p) | 20:45 |
| diddledan_ | I haven't managed to get all our work systems patched against shellshock yet | 20:46 |
| diddledan_ | I'm working on one as we speak | 20:47 |
| diddledan_ | thank goodness for spotify to give me a soundtrack to work to. | 20:48 |
| MartijnVdS | diddledan_: our currently released version is IE8 still | 20:50 |
| MartijnVdS | diddledan_: we'll probably go IE10+ by January | 20:50 |
| diddledan_ | I feel your pain | 20:50 |
| diddledan_ | really IE10 should be the minimum these days - IE9 is almost a decade old now? | 20:51 |
| diddledan_ | maybe I'm exaggerating | 20:51 |
| diddledan_ | 3.5 years old | 20:52 |
| diddledan_ | not as bad as I thunked but still by tech standards that's ancient | 20:52 |
| diddledan_ | released 14 march 2011 | 20:53 |
| MartijnVdS | yeah | 20:53 |
| MartijnVdS | most JS libraries are IE10+ | 20:53 |
| MartijnVdS | so IE8 is a disaster if you want to do modern stuff | 20:53 |
| MartijnVdS | those libraries contain all kinds of hacks to work around its ancientness | 20:53 |
| shauno | we only got IE8 earlier this year :/ | 20:54 |
| OERIAS | my dog: http://imgur.com/aveVuGj | 20:54 |
| diddledan_ | jquery won't support ie8 unless you specifically download the "legacy" version | 20:54 |
| shauno | (well, more specifically, we only got off XP earlier this year) | 20:54 |
| MartijnVdS | diddledan_: we use angular and a bunch of other things the frontend guy installs using node.js? (isn't node.js a *server*? I'm still confused) | 20:55 |
| diddledan_ | yeah. nodejs is serverside | 20:56 |
| diddledan_ | I've been looking into polymer lately | 20:56 |
| MartijnVdS | diddledan_: but apparently, it's also used to install clientside libs into the web root or something.. | 20:57 |
| diddledan_ | that'll be via bower | 20:57 |
| MartijnVdS | yeah | 20:57 |
| MartijnVdS | and "npm"? | 20:57 |
| diddledan_ | npm allows you to install bower and bower then lets you install client-side stuff | 20:57 |
| diddledan_ | bower runs on nodejs like a perl script | 20:58 |
| diddledan_ | or a bash script | 20:58 |
| diddledan_ | nodejs is just a runtime in that case rather than serving anything over the network | 20:58 |
| MartijnVdS | aaah | 20:59 |
| diddledan_ | think of node as like the mono framework only with javascript as it's input language | 20:59 |
| diddledan_ | initially it was built to be a server but it grew legs | 21:00 |
| shauno | that tends to happen when you let the JS-types touch ... anything | 21:00 |
| diddledan_ | isn't js typeless? | 21:01 |
| diddledan_ | :-p | 21:01 |

| diddledan_ | thankyou :-) | 23:13 |
| intrbiz | essentially disabling SSLv3 is now the best approach, for both client and server | 23:19 |
| diddledan_ | intrbiz: I'm worried about the comment that doing that "presents significant compatibility problems" | 23:23 |
| intrbiz | diddledan_: Very few clients default to SSLv3, mainly IE on Win XP, CloudFlare say they see < 1% SSLv3 | 23:29 |
| intrbiz | diddledan_: Ultimately, TLS is deployed for security reasons, these should trump compatibility. IMHO if a client cannot securely connect, then don't let it. | 23:30 |
| intrbiz | diddledan_: Lets also consider outside of china, IE6 usage is < 1% | 23:32 |
| intrbiz | diddledan_: and that SSLv3 is 18 years old (1996) | 23:33 |
