| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: how long can a nokia golden age phone last on this? https://blog.thrifter.com/iclever-20000mah-car-jump-starter-power-delivery | 00:46 |
|---|---|---|
| diddledan | a new init system https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/wVLnMZnN/image.png | 00:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | till hell freezes over, thaws out, freezes over again... :-) | 04:30 |
| SuperMatt | morning | 07:38 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 07:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | o/ | 08:42 |
| brobostigon | o/ | 08:47 |
| daftykins | \o | 10:24 |
| brobostigon | o/ | 10:25 |
| daftykins | so apparently my client is at a lunch for that potato peel society movie that's out / coming out (based on a book) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289403/ | 11:22 |
| diddledan | daftykins: that film looks intriguing | 11:22 |
| daftykins | indeed | 11:25 |
| diddledan | it's nice to see you guys in the spotlight, because I think the islands get largely overlooked in British history | 11:26 |
| diddledan | especially your history during the War | 11:27 |
| daftykins | so nice of you to say, it's so true ;_; | 11:27 |
| daftykins | diddledan: my little haswell build has just kicked off today as the CPU arrived - yesterday i received the motherboard and had bent socket pins to resolve - https://dafty.rocks/nextcloud/index.php/s/5Mft7jJas43PXrf | 11:35 |
| daftykins | got lucky on it having a BIOS new enough to support the CPU \o/ | 11:36 |
| diddledan | bah @ bendy pins | 11:36 |
| daftykins | nothing a paper clip and a careful eye couldn't resolve | 11:36 |
| daftykins | now i'm memtesting to ensure that wonky DIMM slot isn't a problem, though | 11:36 |
| daftykins | cheap SSD btw folks - https://www.mymemory.co.uk/integral-120gb-p-series-5-sata-iii-2-5-ssd-drive-560mb-s.html | 18:59 |
| daftykins | website is a bit suspicious, after all they're from Jersey... ;D | 18:59 |
| diddledan | wat. that's nuts cheap | 19:01 |
| diddledan | how's memtest going? | 19:01 |
| daftykins | all clean with every slot populated, so i've got a haswell i5 with 12GB RAM now! | 19:02 |
| daftykins | a mate just helped me modify the latest BIOS with the newest intel microcode too, as Asus have yet to offer it - so it's now good and current for spectre mitigations | 19:02 |
| diddledan | how you do that?! | 19:03 |
| daftykins | it's pretty darn involved, he had read into it because he has a haswell mobo too that got abandoned by asus entirely - and won't ever see the 'fix' | 19:03 |
| daftykins | he's got some utilities he found on a forum for reading in the BIOS, identifying modules, then inserting the up to date microcode :) | 19:04 |
| daftykins | to play it safe, i dumped a backup of mine, sent it to him, he applied the 0x24 fix, then i booted DOS and used the AMI BIOS firmware update tool to force the custom image on | 19:04 |
| daftykins | worked a treat | 19:04 |
| diddledan | I see AMD have released a load of microcodes back to bulldozer | 19:05 |
| daftykins | o rly | 19:05 |
| daftykins | did their fixes for that recent news need to also be a platform level BIOS? i think it did from what i read | 19:06 |
| diddledan | no these are spectre variant 2 fixes | 19:06 |
| daftykins | ah reet | 19:06 |
| daftykins | pretty chuffed with that system so far, nice low TDP haswell i5, 2.5W consumption when idle - 35W peak | 20:42 |
| daftykins | i might try it out as an HTPC to start :> | 20:48 |
| diddledan | any myst fans? http://kck.st/2JxVaGr | 21:01 |
| daftykins | diddledan: there any way to tell what version of drupal a site is using from the outside? see they had a pretty major security thing and wonder if my mate is keeping his up to date like a good lad | 21:47 |
| diddledan | I think the version number might be in the html? | 21:48 |
| diddledan | in the <head> section in the <meta name="generator"... tag | 21:48 |
| diddledan | they maybe removed it in recent times though because it can be used to tell an attacker that you're not up to date | 21:48 |
| diddledan | which is exactly the same reason you're wanting to check it :-) | 21:49 |
| daftykins | :D | 21:49 |
| diddledan | looks like they might just put the major version now: <meta name="generator" content="Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org)" /> | 21:50 |
| daftykins | yep looks to be lacking a 'generator' in the page entirely | 21:50 |
| daftykins | hrmm a client of mine wants to start a charity thing, seems our registrar offers .org.gg for free, but then you need to sort your own nameservers etc | 21:52 |
| diddledan | use cloudflare :-) | 21:53 |
| daftykins | ooh a mate had suggested they do such antics as it happens | 21:53 |
| daftykins | hrmm kinda looks like a single site might stay in the free tier too? | 22:00 |
| diddledan | you can have as many free tier sites as you want | 22:01 |
| daftykins | mind you she's already locked herself into wix for the site itself come to think, dunno if that's workable - don't see why not | 22:02 |
