[00:15] * diddledan looks in [00:46] zmoylan-pi: how long can a nokia golden age phone last on this? https://blog.thrifter.com/iclever-20000mah-car-jump-starter-power-delivery [00:49] a new init system https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/wVLnMZnN/image.png [04:30] till hell freezes over, thaws out, freezes over again... :-) [07:38] morning [07:57] morning boys and girls. [08:42] o/ [08:47] o/ [10:24] \o [10:25] o/ [11:22] 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] daftykins: that film looks intriguing [11:25] indeed [11:26] it's nice to see you guys in the spotlight, because I think the islands get largely overlooked in British history [11:27] especially your history during the War [11:27] so nice of you to say, it's so true ;_; [11:35] 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 [11:36] got lucky on it having a BIOS new enough to support the CPU \o/ [11:36] bah @ bendy pins [11:36] nothing a paper clip and a careful eye couldn't resolve [11:36] now i'm memtesting to ensure that wonky DIMM slot isn't a problem, though [18:59] 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] website is a bit suspicious, after all they're from Jersey... ;D [19:01] wat. that's nuts cheap [19:01] how's memtest going? [19:02] all clean with every slot populated, so i've got a haswell i5 with 12GB RAM now! [19:02] 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 [19:03] how you do that?! [19:03] 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' [19:04] 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] 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] worked a treat [19:05] I see AMD have released a load of microcodes back to bulldozer [19:05] o rly [19:06] 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] no these are spectre variant 2 fixes [19:06] ah reet [20:42] pretty chuffed with that system so far, nice low TDP haswell i5, 2.5W consumption when idle - 35W peak [20:48] i might try it out as an HTPC to start :> [21:01] any myst fans? http://kck.st/2JxVaGr [21:47] 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 [21:48] I think the version number might be in the html? [21:48] in the section in the they maybe removed it in recent times though because it can be used to tell an attacker that you're not up to date [21:49] which is exactly the same reason you're wanting to check it :-) [21:49] :D [21:50] looks like they might just put the major version now: [21:50] yep looks to be lacking a 'generator' in the page entirely [21:52] 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 [21:53] use cloudflare :-) [21:53] ooh a mate had suggested they do such antics as it happens [22:00] hrmm kinda looks like a single site might stay in the free tier too? [22:01] you can have as many free tier sites as you want [22:02] 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
