[09:06] morning boys and girls. [09:09] hey brobostigon [09:10] hi knightwise [09:11] * knightwise just ordered a second 25 inch screen [09:11] :) [09:11] since i have a bigger house i'm finally entitled to two displays [09:12] :) good goo. [09:12] good* [09:15] instead of getting another machine on my desk i'll just run my vm's and teamviwer sessions fullscreen [09:17] cool. [09:20] 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] turns out teamviewer connections to that machine are lightning fast when done in the lan [09:21] almost no lag and unity performs great [09:21] so i'll just use it that way [09:25] :) [12:15] Thought for the day: [12:15] Most of those who expreience dolphins state that the experience enriches their lives & gives them a feeling well-being. [12:16] ....So why don't they provide dolphins in hospitals? [12:16] nhs cutbacks mean they can't afford the tuna. [12:16] :D [12:16] SuperEngineer: perhaps we need a dolphinbank similar to the bloodbank? [12:18] "We need do do a transfusion but we don't know what dolphin type this patient is"! [12:18] new doctors uniform... https://images.halloweencostumes.com/products/17820/1-2/adult-dolphin-costume.jpg [12:18] to do [12:19] zmoylan-pi, proof that you can find anything on t'internets [12:19] yes but that also means rule 34... [12:19] * diddledan looks for doctor-dolphin pron [12:20] shouldn't that be prawn? :-P [12:20] lol [12:51] It might be fun entering " doctor-dolphin pron" in a search and see if says "did you mean doctor-dolphin prawn" [12:53] ...& shame on all those trying it!!! [12:56] For all those without news alerts: serious gunman & hostage situation currently onging in Framce [12:56] France [12:59] :-o [12:59] * diddledan fires up news 24 [13:58] https://www.theonion.com/mark-zuckerberg-promises-that-misuse-of-facebook-user-d-1823988784 [14:15] 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] (or at least, most likely) [14:17] Isn't "just got hit by a driveby attack" street slang for a Google vehicle passing your home? [14:18] SuperEngineer: https://securelist.com/threats/drive-by-attack-glossary/ [14:18] 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] 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] Azelphur, thanks for the link; but really? you really didn't think I knew it's contents already? Really? [14:21] SuperEngineer: haha, sarcasm doesn't carry well over text [14:22] nor does using haha [he was a WWII propagandarist]. "Ha ha" would be better. [14:22] NEXT! [14:23] eep === layke is now known as Guest54541 [17:51] Azelphur: did you flash an update then factory reset again to be safe? [17:51] yep [17:51] 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] 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] maybe two if you're on cable [17:55] and change your password! [17:57] 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 === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOW [18:20] I've got an urge [18:20] I wanna watch hackers. I'm sure that is classed as uncool by kids these days [18:21] the thing I don't understand, however, is why didn't my mates and I go around town on roller-blades too? [18:22] or hang out in clubs besting each others game scores [18:22] thet, also [18:22] when i watch it i am left with a feeling of wondering why my nerdiness looks far less cool :D [18:22] or even have clubs with games in them [18:22] 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] malcolm o0 [18:23] yes, the hackers soundtrack is epic [18:23] 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] no computers whatsoever but still very much a hacker movie... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091464/ [18:24] and you will laugh out loud :-) [18:26] 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] ah well i'll just delete their A records too [19:38] daftykins: I don't know about nginx, but Apache will route any unexpected hostnames to the "first defined" virtualhost [19:39] heh weird idea [19:39] suddenly one company could get redirected to another - gotta hope you don't host for two competitors :D [19:41] 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] 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] hah, I just realised Penn from Penn & Teller is in Hackers [20:51] I knew for years that I recognised him but couldn't place where from [20:51] he's the pfy... [20:51] yup [20:52] :) [20:52] I wonder how he ended up doing that [20:53] versus being a magical god [20:53] magic [20:56] looks like he was trying to get a movie career going then [20:57] hah. I found a fake phone number used in a whois record: Tech Phone: +1.5125551212 [20:57] there's no 512 area code in usa? [20:58] 555 prefix [20:58] ah the 555... [20:59] 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] Updated Date: 2018-02-20T23:30:52.00Z Creation Date: 1995-05-30T04:00:00.00Z [21:00] now it would have to a page or 3 of the cathederal and the bazaar... :-) [21:00] I'm guessing that non-random time means that it was registered before the registration datetime was recorded [21:02] or the heisenberg compensators in his time machine are past their 1000 year checkup.... [21:18] can you compensate against heisenbugs? [21:19] only if you confirm all the schroedingers [21:20] Has anyone tried compensating shroedingers? [21:20] ++c [21:21] nah, if you start paying schroedingers you need a completely bent 12th dan accountant to handle the temporal accounting [21:24] 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
