[09:06] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:09] <knightwise> hey brobostigon
[09:10] <brobostigon> hi knightwise
[09:11]  * 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
[09:12] <brobostigon> :) good goo.
[09:12] <brobostigon> good*
[09:15] <knightwise> instead of getting another machine on my desk i'll just run my vm's and teamviwer sessions fullscreen
[09:17] <brobostigon> cool.
[09:20] <knightwise> I have an Lenovo laptop with a busted casing stashed down in the garage in my server rack acting as a home server
[09:21] <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
[09:25] <brobostigon> :)
[12:15] <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.
[12:16] <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?
[12:18] <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
[12:19] <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
[12:20] <zmoylan-pi> shouldn't that be prawn? :-P
[12:20] <diddledan> lol
[12:51] <SuperEngineer> It might be fun entering " doctor-dolphin pron" in a search and see if says "did you mean doctor-dolphin prawn"
[12:53] <SuperEngineer> ...& shame on all those trying it!!!
[12:56] <SuperEngineer> For all those without news alerts:  serious gunman & hostage situation currently onging in Framce
[12:56] <SuperEngineer> France
[12:59] <diddledan> :-o
[12:59]  * diddledan fires up news 24
[13:58] <diddledan> https://www.theonion.com/mark-zuckerberg-promises-that-misuse-of-facebook-user-d-1823988784
[14:15] <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)
[14:17] <SuperEngineer> Isn't "just got hit by a driveby attack" street slang for a Google vehicle passing your home?
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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 :)
[14:20] <SuperEngineer> Azelphur, thanks for the link; but really? you really didn't think I knew it's contents already?  Really?
[14:21] <Azelphur> SuperEngineer: haha, sarcasm doesn't carry well over text
[14:22] <SuperEngineer> nor does using haha [he was a WWII propagandarist].  "Ha ha" would be better.
[14:22] <SuperEngineer> NEXT!
[14:23] <diddledan> eep
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <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
[17:55] <diddledan> and change your password!
[17:57] <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
[18:20] <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
[18:21] <diddledan> the thing I don't understand, however, is why didn't my mates and I go around town on roller-blades too?
[18:22] <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
[18:23] <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/
[18:24] <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 :-)
[18:26] <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
[18:34] <daftykins> ah well i'll just delete their A records too
[19:38] <diddledan> daftykins: I don't know about nginx, but  Apache will route any unexpected hostnames to the "first defined" virtualhost
[19:39] <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
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <diddledan> I work around it by defining a virtualhost that doesn't show anything useful and make sure it's the first one loaded
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <daftykins> :)
[20:52] <diddledan> I wonder how he ended up doing that
[20:53] <diddledan> versus being a magical god
[20:53] <daftykins> magic
[20:56] <zmoylan-pi> looks like he was trying to get a movie career going then
[20:57] <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?
[20:58] <diddledan> 555 prefix
[20:58] <zmoylan-pi> ah the 555...
[20:59] <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
[21:00] <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
[21:02] <zmoylan-pi> or the heisenberg compensators in his time machine are past their 1000 year checkup....
[21:18] <diddledan> can you compensate against heisenbugs?
[21:19] <zmoylan-pi> only if you confirm all the schroedingers
[21:20] <diddledan> Has anyone tried compensating shroedingers?
[21:20] <diddledan> ++c
[21:21] <zmoylan-pi> nah, if you start paying schroedingers you need a completely bent 12th dan accountant to handle the temporal accounting
[21:24] <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
