diddledani | ooh, Dave was involved in the sony drm thing back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqWjq2SdzpI | 21:06 |
---|---|---|
zxmpi | when people hacked sony it was fair game afterwards :-P | 21:09 |
davef | I still remember waking up one morning to 30K e-mails from Sony Japan | 21:51 |
davef | They configured one of their services to use a domain I still have to this very day | 21:52 |
davef | And it was a catch all for email | 21:52 |
diddledani | sounds like they configured an invalid domain name | 21:53 |
diddledani | ;-p | 21:53 |
davef | Next year will be 20 years with that domain | 21:53 |
davef | Creation Date: 2002-10-28T22:30:52Z | 21:53 |
daftykins | :D | 21:54 |
daftykins | did you manage to contact someone? | 21:54 |
diddledani | reply all. STOP! | 21:54 |
davef | https://www.whois.com/whois/invaliddomain.com | 21:54 |
davef | Yeah, I found their NOC email address and sent a couple of screenshots. Within about an hour, it stopped. | 21:55 |
daftykins | \o/ | 21:55 |
davef | Didn't get a thank you or a message to say "pls delete" | 21:55 |
davef | Following that, I think both IBM and Boeing have used the domain in their networks. | 21:55 |
davef | I got into a disagreement with a NOC guy at Boeing claiming it was backskatter | 21:55 |
davef | But then I replied, no it's not.. I used to work at Boeing, check with so-and-so.. within a few hours I got an apology. | 21:56 |
daftykins | :D | 21:57 |
davef | These days I don't monitor it | 21:57 |
davef | sweet.. my new winter boots just arrived, just in time for tomorrows snowstorm | 22:55 |
daftykins | you can wear them all day at home to break 'em in \o/ | 22:56 |
davef | maybe later | 22:56 |
davef | i'm living in my crocs | 22:56 |
daftykins | ooh yeah i had forgotten about that admission | 22:57 |
davef | crocs > any other shoe | 22:57 |
davef | they may look ugly, but holy hell are they comfortable, especially the fabric lined ones | 22:58 |
daftykins | for now i think i'm still on the right side of 40 ;) | 23:02 |
* daftykins ducks | 23:02 | |
davef | i got mine before i hit 40 | 23:02 |
davef | why do companies still ship laptops with such terrible screen resolutions like 1366 x 768? | 23:03 |
daftykins | it's horrible indeed, that res needs to be banned | 23:03 |
davef | this is in a 11th gen i3, 8gb ram and 512gb ssd | 23:04 |
daftykins | unacceptable! | 23:04 |
davef | and it's an HP | 23:04 |
davef | there's an Acer, only 250G ssd, but has a 15" 1080p display | 23:04 |
daftykins | what gets me is why full HD ones always default to scaling to 150% or so on clean installs | 23:04 |
zxmpi | super high res is wasted on people over 40? | 23:05 |
daftykins | don't think the screen res angle is tied into the >40 topic :D | 23:08 |
davef | the thinkpad i was given from work defaulted to 150% .. | 23:09 |
daftykins | yeah pretty much default now, i tend to relax to 125% for others and then ship 'em out | 23:13 |
davef | ok, breaking in the boots | 23:35 |
diddledani | "You're one of 113,990,759 people pwned in the Gravatar data breach" \o/ | 23:46 |
davef | you too, huh?\ | 23:47 |
diddledani | I guess I'm gonna receive this to all my email accounts, 'cos I put em all on the same gravatar listing | 23:52 |
davef | k, so they didn't get passwords | 23:53 |
davef | i couldn't care less if people have my e-mail address | 23:53 |
davef | Do I want this? I want this.. https://www.shop.wirelessnetware.ca/ethernet-routers/441-rb5009ugsin.html | 23:54 |
diddledani | email addresses aren't private info IMO. I keep on telling people that ask for redaction in WordPress land that emails aren't sensitive in any way whatsoever | 23:55 |
diddledani | same with web addresses | 23:55 |
davef | right, e-mail addresses are public info. | 23:56 |
davef | if somebody asks for my e-mail address, i'll give it to them | 23:56 |
