@Burgi yeah it's bad

if she got washed out to sea

would the navy/coastguard just go 'oh, nope, sorry!'

Burgi

oops

djsmiley2k

@Burgi errrm uwt

Burgi

@djsmiley2k i think it was to do with the oscillations, when it got to a certain frequency there would be a huge shower of sparks

allquicatic

@HassanAlthaf you mean the dynamic loader, like /lib/ld-linux.so or whatever?

@Bob This place actually has a very good network, just a shabby internet connection

Bob

lol

Potato Cat

Note to self: Shitsco Meraki cloud APs... are actually pretty decent (probably because they weren't developed by Cisco)

One of the few "enterprise" wifi products I probably would recommend

Bob

hm

amex website is broken

and amex "24/7" phone line is broken

nice

Potato Cat

Heh

"Stop mpdecision"
"Stop thermald"
"Standalone power collapse"
"CPU1 on/off"

Bob

o.O

Potato Cat

1:28 PM

Found an interesting menu here... I wonder if stop thermald will stop thermal throttling

I'm going through all the "secret codes" to try find the wifi jammer menu option

Bob

o.O

what is this?

Potato Cat

S4/S7 shortcut master

Bob

oh

hm

I can... press 1 to report lost/stolen, 2 to apply for a card, or card number for an error message :P

oh, if you wait long enough it lets you press 0 for operator

"to allow us to correctly route your call, please enter your card number" hvcouwsfhuwhfg983hvdfs

Potato Cat

The usual flooding/dos/uplink saturation etc. business doesn't seem to effective against these meraki's

Ouch, I've never had to call amex, thankfully

Bob

oh, another different menu

0 again for operator

Potato Cat

1:31 PM

Well, not since I got my card. Before that, several times, and was exposed to nothing but utter incompetence

Bob

@PotatoCat last time it went fairly well, I think all their systems are down this time :P

Potato Cat

Speaking of, I wonder if online.net's ordering systems are back up yet, my SYS server hasn't arrived (so much for "120 sec")

Bob

oh, "system updates", "wait an hour or two"

y'know, most services manage to put up a nice maintenance message

not just kick you out with generic errors

Potato Cat

Heh, could say the same with Online.net

Console yesterday was just giving random messages and "Server unexpectedly closed connection" and "Timeout", etc. etc.

Bob

hm. of course it starts working as soon as I finish the phone call

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.

story of my life.

Potato Cat

1:33 PM

Only after trying to go through some other part of the web page for something completely unrelated I eventually got the "Console unavailable for maintenance" message

Dumb canadian s***** who wanted to get an onion ring tattoo are back

Bob

o.O

Potato Cat

Apparently one of them bruised her back falling out of a taxi yesterday too

allquicatic

@PotatoCat are you living out of hostels still?

Potato Cat

@allquicatic Yes

How did you guess

allquicatic

I don't know; just a wild guess

Potato Cat

1:37 PM

I'm disappointed you didn't figure out from the fact I would never willingly associate myself with such people

Burgi

is this the same canadian that you were staring at?

Potato Cat

No

Burgi

i also can't work out what "s*****" could be. Did you do too many *'s?

Potato Cat

Yes

Journeyman Geek

@PotatoCat you're a cat. Not very sure who you'd willingly associate yourself with, other than taters.

@JourneymanGeek Food

It seems Samsung may have removed the WiFi jamming function in Android 5 :-(

Oh hey there's a wifi hotspot port forwarding test menu

Journeyman Geek

'wifi jamming function'

whaaaat?

Potato Cat

@JourneymanGeek Well, it was a makeshift one

And I need one to make the guy above me shut up

And these Meraki APs are pretty damn robust to the usual layer 3 jamming tricks

And my old S2 and S3 had a L1/L2 jammer

Guitar Shoe Dave

what's the wifi jamming function, never knew of such madness

Potato Cat

One of the wifi test menu functions was just "Transmit random data on frequency X for Y seconds at Z power"

Journeyman Geek

Guitar Shoe Dave

1:45 PM

ap_jam_wifi("strawberry"); found it

Potato Cat

Band jam?

Guitar Shoe Dave

Oh that one, totally forgot about that one.

Paul Vargas

Good resource to learn the difference between hub, bridge, switch and router?

Journeyman Geek

There's actually a question on this somewhere

Potato Cat

Google?

It's fairly simple really, you can boil it down to one sentence

And yeah, probably a Q/A somewhere

Journeyman Geek

Q: What is a router? What is a switch? and What is a hub?

I always mess up with the basic concepts in networking. This are the very basic questions. What is a router, its functions and what is meant by routing? What is a switch, its functions? Many time I heard that there are layer 3 switches. If there are layer three switches , why they are not call...

Guitar Shoe Dave

hub - broadcast everytANG.. bridge - relay.... switch... oooo mac addresses... router, who what when where why and how?

Paul Vargas

@JourneymanGeek Thank you, mister.

Q: Tomcat session replication issue

TL;DR - The node name in the sessionId is not being updated to the current node name in the backup when the primary goes down. Tomcat version - apache-tomcat-7.0.50 I have two nodes (2 instances of my application in 2 seperate tomcats) set up, with the session replication config (also uses sti...

bub

@PaulVargas , Hi! I am good, how are you?

Journeyman Geek

@bub sigh Its the same people mostly, and linking your question for attention is considered impolite.

If someone knows, they'll answer

Paul Vargas

@bub I'm very well, thank you.

bub

@JourneymanGeek , OMG its you! haha. My first day on SU chat :)

Potato Cat

1:50 PM

Yup, wifi jamming function is gone :-(

Oh well I give up. Maybe I'll just go out and let the annoying man annoy the annoying women

Journeyman Geek

Buy a vuvuzela

and some pepper spray

and lunch

bub

@JourneymanGeek, Kindly excuse the pecadillo :D

Burgi

is a pecadillo a brothel?

bub

Still learning the etiquette

Journeyman Geek

@bub actually half tempted to throw it to SF ;p

bub

1:53 PM

@Burgi , I wish, or rather, is a Brothel a pecadillo :D

Burgi

i'm now even more confused

bub

What is SF?

Server Fault?

Journeyman Geek

"I have tried solutions from other questions on SO, but none of them seem to work." Adding these at the end would be nice

serverfault

Burgi

Server Fault

Journeyman Geek

they're our grumpier elder siblings ;p

bub

1:54 PM

oh, ok

Journeyman Geek

and SO is... the hippie odd elder sister.

Potato Cat

Eww

No

Burgi

LOL

bub

@JourneymanGeek, you think? ok, will edit

Journeyman Geek

yup

Burgi

1:55 PM

@JourneymanGeek and what about askubuntu?

Journeyman Geek

I'll go talk to some Serverfault folk and migrate it if they want it

@Burgi eh. maaaaybe

Burgi

no i meant what relation are they?

Guitar Shoe Dave

@JourneymanGeek: I'd add to switches that they are mac address aware.

Journeyman Geek

they're are part of the crowd of little kids running around

and you arn't sure whose they are exactly

Potato Cat

"You need to sign in to an Adobe account to install this software <purchased on DVD as standalone software>"

=> Disconnect from internet
Install works fine.

Guitar Shoe Dave

1:57 PM

@JourneymanGeek: Its a good answer though.

Journeyman Geek

@GuitarShoeDave my original idea kinda bludgeoned the car analogy a bit much

Burgi

from one of our customers:

> You were going to check what the possibly [sic] implications of this were, DNS changes etc and if that would impact the link to the database, firewall etc etc when installing the ssl certificate.

bub

haha

Potato Cat

@Burgi You were going to what?

Guitar Shoe Dave

Its a good analogy though man, most people relate to cars better than *POTATOES*

bub

1:58 PM

@JourneymanGeek , That would be great! Thank you so much!

Potato Cat

Make sure you don't totally the RAR file while you're at it, and also have you tried javascript?

Burgi

@PotatoCat i'm installing an SSL certificate for a customer and they think it will break their firewall and DNS and their cnnection to their internal database
