| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:06 |
|---|---|---|
| knightwise | hey brobostigon | 09:09 |
| brobostigon | hi knightwise | 09:10 |
| * knightwise just ordered a second 25 inch screen | 09:11 | |
| brobostigon | :) | 09:11 |
| knightwise | since i have a bigger house i'm finally entitled to two displays | 09:11 |
| brobostigon | :) good goo. | 09:12 |
| brobostigon | good* | 09:12 |
| knightwise | instead of getting another machine on my desk i'll just run my vm's and teamviwer sessions fullscreen | 09:15 |
| brobostigon | cool. | 09:17 |
| knightwise | I have an Lenovo laptop with a busted casing stashed down in the garage in my server rack acting as a home server | 09:20 |
| knightwise | turns out teamviewer connections to that machine are lightning fast when done in the lan | 09:21 |
| knightwise | almost no lag and unity performs great | 09:21 |
| knightwise | so i'll just use it that way | 09:21 |
| brobostigon | :) | 09:25 |
| SuperEngineer | Thought for the day: | 12:15 |
| SuperEngineer | Most of those who expreience dolphins state that the experience enriches their lives & gives them a feeling well-being. | 12:15 |
| SuperEngineer | ....So why don't they provide dolphins in hospitals? | 12:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | nhs cutbacks mean they can't afford the tuna. | 12:16 |
| SuperEngineer | :D | 12:16 |
| diddledan | SuperEngineer: perhaps we need a dolphinbank similar to the bloodbank? | 12:16 |
| SuperEngineer | "We need do do a transfusion but we don't know what dolphin type this patient is"! | 12:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | new doctors uniform... https://images.halloweencostumes.com/products/17820/1-2/adult-dolphin-costume.jpg | 12:18 |
| SuperEngineer | to do | 12:18 |
| SuperEngineer | zmoylan-pi, proof that you can find anything on t'internets | 12:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | yes but that also means rule 34... | 12:19 |
| * diddledan looks for doctor-dolphin pron | 12:19 | |
| zmoylan-pi | shouldn't that be prawn? :-P | 12:20 |
| diddledan | lol | 12:20 |
| SuperEngineer | It might be fun entering " doctor-dolphin pron" in a search and see if says "did you mean doctor-dolphin prawn" | 12:51 |
| SuperEngineer | ...& shame on all those trying it!!! | 12:53 |
| SuperEngineer | For all those without news alerts: serious gunman & hostage situation currently onging in Framce | 12:56 |
| SuperEngineer | France | 12:56 |
| diddledan | :-o | 12:59 |
| * diddledan fires up news 24 | 12:59 | |
| diddledan | https://www.theonion.com/mark-zuckerberg-promises-that-misuse-of-facebook-user-d-1823988784 | 13:58 |
| Azelphur | So, friendly PSA for those of us using Asus routers, upgrade your firmware. Mine just got hit by a driveby attack running a firmware from 2017. | 14:15 |
| Azelphur | (or at least, most likely) | 14:15 |
| SuperEngineer | Isn't "just got hit by a driveby attack" street slang for a Google vehicle passing your home? | 14:17 |
| Azelphur | SuperEngineer: https://securelist.com/threats/drive-by-attack-glossary/ | 14:18 |
| Azelphur | although that is more geared towards HTTP, but the general premise is bots scan the internet looking for vulnerable machines, in this case my router | 14:18 |
| Azelphur | most likely anyway, my internet went off, logged into the router, default language changed to Chinese, DyDNS setup, SSH server disabled, not sure what else, factory resetted it :) | 14:19 |
| SuperEngineer | Azelphur, thanks for the link; but really? you really didn't think I knew it's contents already? Really? | 14:20 |
| Azelphur | SuperEngineer: haha, sarcasm doesn't carry well over text | 14:21 |
| SuperEngineer | nor does using haha [he was a WWII propagandarist]. "Ha ha" would be better. | 14:22 |
| SuperEngineer | NEXT! | 14:22 |
| diddledan | eep | 14:23 |
| === layke is now known as Guest54541 | ||
| daftykins | Azelphur: did you flash an update then factory reset again to be safe? | 17:51 |
| Azelphur | yep | 17:51 |
| daftykins | i remember hearing about Asus making firmware so bad they were subjected to a third party code review for x years, but i don't know which region that was in or who it was mandated by | 17:51 |
| daftykins | honestly consumer kit seems so bad, but the only way to do things better is to end up with a 2 or 3+ box design which isn't going to be popular with many folk :D | 17:52 |
| daftykins | maybe two if you're on cable | 17:52 |
| diddledan | and change your password! | 17:55 |
| daftykins | i took apart my 2004 floppy drive last night that i was trying to read those 1984 disks with, gave the dust a good scrub and then IPA'd the heads... after that i started getting file listings and even pulled off this 'Word v2' 94 page document they were after :D | 17:57 |

| diddledan | I've got an urge | 18:20 |
| diddledan | I wanna watch hackers. I'm sure that is classed as uncool by kids these days | 18:20 |
| diddledan | the thing I don't understand, however, is why didn't my mates and I go around town on roller-blades too? | 18:21 |
| daftykins | or hang out in clubs besting each others game scores | 18:22 |
| diddledan | thet, also | 18:22 |
| daftykins | when i watch it i am left with a feeling of wondering why my nerdiness looks far less cool :D | 18:22 |
| diddledan | or even have clubs with games in them | 18:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | hackers is a great movie. mostly for the great soundtrack. but the best hacker movie is and remians malcolm. also with a fantastic sountrack | 18:22 |
| daftykins | malcolm o0 | 18:23 |
| diddledan | yes, the hackers soundtrack is epic | 18:23 |
| diddledan | apparently selling downloadable software is not covered by the sale of goods regulations in the UK: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/23/software_good_ruling_court_appeal/ | 18:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | no computers whatsoever but still very much a hacker movie... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091464/ | 18:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | and you will laugh out loud :-) | 18:24 |
| daftykins | hrmm, if i have an nginx setup with multiple sites - i remove one from sites-enabled/ because that client has ceased wanting theirs up, why does their domain then redirect to another site on the same host o0 | 18:26 |
| daftykins | ah well i'll just delete their A records too | 18:34 |
| diddledan | daftykins: I don't know about nginx, but Apache will route any unexpected hostnames to the "first defined" virtualhost | 19:38 |
| daftykins | heh weird idea | 19:39 |
| daftykins | suddenly one company could get redirected to another - gotta hope you don't host for two competitors :D | 19:39 |
| diddledan | I think it is because virtualhosts were an evolution of HTTP from the original (HTTP/1.1 adds the Host: header) so originally apache could only host a single site. Virtualhosts then were in addition to the single site of old | 19:41 |
| diddledan | I work around it by defining a virtualhost that doesn't show anything useful and make sure it's the first one loaded | 19:42 |
| diddledan | hah, I just realised Penn from Penn & Teller is in Hackers | 20:51 |
| diddledan | I knew for years that I recognised him but couldn't place where from | 20:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | he's the pfy... | 20:51 |
| diddledan | yup | 20:51 |
| daftykins | :) | 20:52 |
| diddledan | I wonder how he ended up doing that | 20:52 |
| diddledan | versus being a magical god | 20:53 |
| daftykins | magic | 20:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | looks like he was trying to get a movie career going then | 20:56 |
| diddledan | hah. I found a fake phone number used in a whois record: Tech Phone: +1.5125551212 | 20:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | there's no 512 area code in usa? | 20:57 |
| diddledan | 555 prefix | 20:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | ah the 555... | 20:58 |
| diddledan | I found that by looking up the domain of Loyd Blankenship who gave permission for "Conscience of a Hacker" to be quoted in Hackers (I'm reading the credits) | 20:59 |
| diddledan | Updated Date: 2018-02-20T23:30:52.00Z Creation Date: 1995-05-30T04:00:00.00Z | 20:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | now it would have to a page or 3 of the cathederal and the bazaar... :-) | 21:00 |
| diddledan | I'm guessing that non-random time means that it was registered before the registration datetime was recorded | 21:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | or the heisenberg compensators in his time machine are past their 1000 year checkup.... | 21:02 |
| diddledan | can you compensate against heisenbugs? | 21:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | only if you confirm all the schroedingers | 21:19 |
| diddledan | Has anyone tried compensating shroedingers? | 21:20 |
| diddledan | ++c | 21:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | nah, if you start paying schroedingers you need a completely bent 12th dan accountant to handle the temporal accounting | 21:21 |
| diddledan | go to about 5 minutes: "it's been a few years since we had a new init system" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1v_o7ww43A | 21:24 |
