iorianite20:52
TJ-That's not hacking, that's cracking, and from what we heard of the response from TalkTalk board-level executives, they thoroughly deserved it20:53
TJ-"We don't know if the data was encrypted" - that was 48 hours after the news broke20:54
daftykins:D20:54
daftykinsthen later "well we didn't legally have to!"20:54
TJ-Looked to me like a bunch of non-knowledge MBAs were running a highly technical ISP20:54
TJ-Right. But I'd like to see their faces when PCI compliance come calling to revoke their authority to take credit cards20:54
daftykinsoh i mean it as a negative too, for sure20:55
TJ-I know :D20:56
TJ-Irony was they advertised for a chief security 'officer' the week before20:56
TJ-I'd give that job to the 15 YO, if that person were responsible for the breach20:56
daftykins:)20:57
TJ-poacher-turned-gamekeeper... best ploy ever20:57
TJ-That's why cops get away with so much; they think like the criminals20:57
daftykinsUS ones *are* the criminals ;)20:58
TJ-Racketeering organisations :)20:58
TJ-On a totally different note... as I may have mentioned I've been comtemplating joing the Kubuntu dev team to give it a push now J.R. and others have left/are leaving... today I decided not to, but for a reason that speaks volumes about that project. Another dev was asking how to package a tool that requires at least a particular version of the kernel (due to a system IOCTL being needed)21:00
daftykinsis that a bit too basic - and so a sign of what you'd be babysitting?21:01
TJ-I suggested adding a patch to the package that checks for the IOCTL at run-time and tells the user if it isn't there, and what to do about. One of the existing senior devs then said "we don't apply patches unless upstream approve them" so I said, so put it in the Ubuntu packaging, and the response was "we don't do that"21:01
daftykinserk21:02
daftykinsprobably why a guy i know went to work on debian instead XD21:02
TJ-In other words, Kubuntu bases of Ubuntu (which carries thousands of such patches in the packaging to address distro-user-specific improvements) but all they do is repackage upstream KDE code with ZERO fixups for Kubuntu21:03
TJ-I asked "why?" and got no response21:06
wileeeTJ-, run is my advice, ; 021:08
wileeethe ku and ubu has been going on enough even I'm aware of it as an outsider consumer21:08
TJ-wileee: right... I've been shadowing and helping out with advice for over 6 months since I use it and have the expertise they're lacking, but I'm not interested is simply (re)packaging - that's boring stuff21:10
wileeeTJ-, Yeah, you have the skills to help for sure and the patience I would think, group work is tough.21:12
TJ-There are several willing recent new devs but its pretty clear they lack any real understanding of Debian packaging in depth, or engineering process21:13
wileeebummer21:15
TJ-I asked, a few days ago, where the documentation is on the Kubuntu processes, aside from what I've picked up on IRC, and was told "well then you have as much as there is"21:16
TJ-That, to me, is not the way to attract competent devs, if they're going to be spending a lot of time trying to figure out the processes, the servers to manage, which repos to pull from, push to, how to control the continuous integration system, etc, etc.21:16
lotuspsychjenitenite fellas21:23
TJ-seems to be a lot botnet spam tonight21:26
OerHekslotus to bed, i hope it stops now.21:27
