12:32 AM

I made the mistake of logging into chrome.

it downloaded so many old stuff

Journeyman Geek

1:07 AM

*much

;p

Stuff is uncountable

my whole life has been a lie

@Rahul2001 I ended up grabbing s.afe.space

1:36 AM

@Avery $312 is rather expensive for a domain don't you think. I once spent $100 on a domain but quickly regretted it.

@William where'd you get that price tag from?

@Avery sorry I'm guessing how much did you spend

that is from name.com

It's from namecheap

it's not safe.space, it's s.afe.space, or rather afe.space

$1.06

is that the renewal price also?

no, it's like 10$

1:39 AM

@Avery the uninitiated with the concept of "safe space" would start wondering what space agency in the world has the acronym "AFE"

Autonomous Flying Electronics Space Corp

Airborne Forces Establishment

Is safe space a south park refreence here is the link youtube.com/watch?v=sXQkXXBqj_U

safe spaces are a real thing

technically, you're standing in one. Technically.

While it's not explicitly stating that, "be nice" and "assume good intent" mostly does that.

Journeyman Geek

lol. Technically

1:42 AM

@Avery cool!

@Avery I'd only be standing in a safe space, if I were in VR and somehow had a 3d web browser

Journeyman Geek

@Avery be nice is pretty much rule 0.

Good morning all!

yup

by "not explicit", I mean that it's not this

So now that you have s.afe.space... what will safe.space have to say about it?

1:46 AM

we will see

Start the next facebook competitor definitely. I tried my.space it is taken.

it will be hate free

and will not have WHO MADE THIS XDDDDDDD stuff

tasty or actually fake news isn't we- dammit, it's become a police state already

Wait... is the only reason an AAAA record is named as such due to the fact that it's 4xA (32bit vs 128bit)???

@allquixotic I think most VR systems include a 3d browser of sorts :P

@allquixotic tell that to the technically bit

1:58 AM

@Avery did you name Avertly after you or your friend? :P

@William where did you see that exactly? Cert or github?

(It's an anagram of our names)

that's clever github

Ah

well try and guess his name I guess

His name is TL I have no idea

I actually use my last name on SO(Williams). I noticed you don't use your real name either thats cool. Astly is my best guess I really have no ideae

2:14 AM

@MichaelFrank yup

2:38 AM

@Avery Drive has been dispatched!

2 hours later…

4:10 AM

Why do we have to use Teamviewer... :( I wanna use Goverlan or something actually good!

4:36 AM

@Bob, @allquixotic: on the topic of strategy and 4X games: I have settled on getting Civilization VI but my budget is currently too limited to support putting $60+ into another game. I've wishlisted it; it's unlikely I'll be able to buy or play it until Astaroth comes online.

I know you're into strategy and 4X and I'm hoping to join in soon.

Feb 24 at 3:01, by bwDraco

...that might impact my ability to get a job and could be a very good reason to play.

^ some context on why I'm looking to get into strategy gaming

Feb 24 at 3:27, by bwDraco

@ThatBrazilianGuy I get called out often (and have been disciplined several times by Father, in some cases blowing up big-time) for being rather dumb. One of the issues holding me back from being more independent is my poor ability to think flexibly. Perhaps spending some time on AotS will help...

Anyway, it's getting late here and I have some work to do. Good night.

Feel free to ping me with your thoughts.

I'm getting the feeling I might want to spend the money on Civ VI, SoaSE, or another strategy game now regardless of this laptop's heatsink/cooling issues or my budget, because if the aforementioned benefits are real, it would be an investment into my behavior with potential returns that are orders of magnitude larger than the cost...

5:12 AM

@bwDraco I don't particularly like 4X games, tbh. Far too complex for me.

pretty sure we've gone over this before, too

I play games to have fun

Not out of some idea that they may or may not 'benefit' in some other way

If you enjoy it, play it. If you don't, don't.

Try it out. If you like it, great!

If not, try a different game. Maybe in the same genre, maybe not.

Personally? I like campaigns. Story.

So games like AoM are more fun. Single-player, anyway.

@allquixotic likes games with few, if any, limits where he can build up an empire

@JourneymanGeek likes to shoot things

(I'm heavily generalising here.)

Actually, we all like shooting things :P

6:07 AM

@djsmiley2k except on any system that doesn't do deduplication.

@Avery depends on your usage, flash storage has write limits, but (almost) not read. so you can safely use one for backup/storing static files.

6:32 AM

@bwDraco populous is nice and freely available for dosbox link

dwarf fortress with the "casual UI" is pretty nice too.

Journeyman Geek

7:08 AM

@Bob or sneaking around and biting people in the ankles

also, I for one, don't really like 4x games. I play games either for the story, or to shoot people in the face

work has a half dozen mystery APs

also a REALLY nice asus that seems to be bricked

7:34 AM

@JourneymanGeek make a coaster out of it.

user image

hmmm

morning

morning

its taken me less time to get in than it does normally

morning

roads here getting worse each day :/

@Burgi be safe, be sensible.

And if you see any terrorists, punch them in the d**k from me.

how do you spot a terrorist?

7:48 AM

They'v got no d*** ;)

Yah know what I mean however :)

@Burgi the same way you spot a rapist.

they are slightly easier to spot

also maybe the cameras and the mike.

er...?

did I suggest medias are terrorists? Maybe.

if we stick by the name, kinda.

I mean, you have more chances to be killed by a drunk driver than a terrorist.

7:59 AM

This got very weird very fast

medias make it sensational, and feed on it.

@satibel Are you aware of what happened in manchester?

puts on tinfoil hat

@djsmiley2k yup, <30 people were killed.

s/people/mostly kids

Now is not the time for weird conspiracies, or anything else.

i reckon he was planning to plant the bomb then leave and accidentally set it off

he had more bombs at his house

8:03 AM

there's about 700 abductions per day in the us, if we count even 1% of them end up badly, in 4 days, that's worse than what happened in manchester.

shrug

@Burgi nod

@satibel and that makes it equal how?

A child dies every minute from starvation in african nations

Does that mean the ones who died at manchester don't matter? You're walking a very wobbly line friend.

@Burgi It seems that way indeed. They've never attacked children before, it's one of the few things they just don't do....

I mean, not that they don't matter, but there was 90 terrorist victims in 15 years in the UK (2000-2015), even adding the recent incidents, there was probably many more kids killed by someone killing their whole family and themselves than by terrorists.

I'm not even sure that's right if you're looking at the UK only.

@Burgi If I was a terrorist, that's what I'd be doing.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/many-people-killed-terrorist-attacks-uk/
according to these stats ^

according to the worldwide stats, terrorism increases your likelihood to die by ~1/1500 or ~0,07%, but most of the deaths are in countries currently at (civil) war.

8:18 AM

So we're winning, great.

still doesn't bring back dead kids.

@satibel I sense you don't have kids

:/

I think that changes things hugely

(As someone who likely may of responded as you are, prior to having kids myself)

I also have a lack of empathy. Not sure if that's psychopath, sociopath or whatever.

don't worry, I won't hurt people intentionaly.

It's aspie tbh

And it doesn't make you a good, or bad person either.

The higher up the chain of command you go, the more you need to see people as numbrs, in some situations.

such as warfare. Which is horrible, but true.

However, right now, is not the time nor place.

I still don't understand why people worry more about infrequent causes of death, than frequent ones.

sorry.

@satibel uh huh

Fight poverty before you fight terrorism

And yet we never hear of a fight on poverty, do we?

@Rahul2001 you might not

we have red nose day, christian aid, water aid, lots of charities constantly telling us here.

children in need, red cross, ....

8:29 AM

Terrorism is violent, poverty is silent deaths

@djsmiley2k See the difference? Volunteers vs. Big governments

Which is going to have an effect?

??

Ok I'm gonna go away for awhile

because I have kids

You don't see governments unionizing to fight poverty

and it severly changes how you look at these issues.

Heh, I am a kid. And I see other kids starving on the streets. That is a crappy feeling.

also, we almost never talk about people that stop smoking when they get kids.

I'm also pretty sure we can count terrorism as an environmental hazard as long as humans exist.

I mean, you can't do much about terrorism, but you can teach them to take care of themselves.

there also probably was more kids killed by western countries in syria etc.. than the opposite.

well, that was jolly fun, now anyone has an on topic question?

8:42 AM

Unvaccinated children are less likely to be autistic...
Because they are more likely to be dead

lol

The channel has a topic?

-terrorism

Anyone else read the huge blog post of the SE https fun?

nickcraver.com/blog/2017/05/22/https-on-stack-overflow/…

This is what I wanna do as a jorb

this is why i wanna move to sysadmin here ;)

9:07 AM

@djsmiley2k Славный коммунизм!

phrack.org/issues/7/3.html that's quite funny, It feels like reading myself.

hah

yes

I remember primary school

we occassionally (like once a month) got to use the old bbc computer they had

i loved it

when they asked me why, 'because it does what I tell it to, and if it doesn't, it's because I've not told it correctly'

we did have internet at school, like blazing fast 1Mbps ADSL.

9:23 AM

:O

yeah at secondary school we had internet

not that we ever really got to use computers or anything else

I also was that kid that looks by the window 95% of the class, yet still can tell the lesson off the top of his head.

@Rahul2001 we give 2% of our GDP to developing countries (including india) as aid. that is more than any other country in europe

Oliver Salzburg

@Burgi That's what every country in Europe claims though ;D

its actually in our laws

Oliver Salzburg

You wouldn't believe how often I hear how Germany is the biggest contributor to everything. Or, well, you probably would, because they tell you the same about the UK :D

I believe nothing :P

9:27 AM

@Burgi Yeah well. India is rich enough, and we still see kids begging on the streets.

It's bloody pathetic

you have a space program

Germany and UK are pretty close in 'total' amount

During the CW Games, they tried to hide the slums behind large billboard-like things, instead of rehabilitation or helping the people.

UK is higher in % of GDP

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k Pretty sure France is "the biggest contributor" as well

9:28 AM

meh!

@OliverSalzburg all depends how you define 'biggest'

Look at the size of france or germany

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k Exactly :D

now look at the UK

and contributer to what?

now look again

@Burgi 'Foreign Aid' is the figure I checked

But yeah, it changes depending on exact view point

9:29 AM

share the link?

We also eat the most chocolate, so therefore we are the most sweet ;)

List of development aid country donors

This is a list of countries by spending on development aid. The list is based on official development assistance (ODA) figures published by the OECD for countries that are members of its Development Assistance Committee (DAC). Non-DAC members included in the OECD's publishing are listed separately. The largest donor countries in 2015 were the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and France. Sweden made the largest contribution as a percentage of gross national income (GNI) at 1.40% and the United Nations’ ODA target of 0.7% of GNI was also exceeded by the UAE, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark...

google.co.uk/…

So that doesn't include anything that doesn't go via ODA

So all the charity work etc,

/me continues to read Nick Cravers blog

wow, the guy from ops' with the job I don't want, is still chasing me

:/

9:41 AM

superuser.com/review/low-quality-posts/657863

terribad question, none of the close reasons are any use?

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k Do this: In a conversation, randomly drop "Oh, so you're using Mac!" Then, when he's proper confused and tries to resolve the confusion, tell them "Oh, so Mac Server"

He won't bother you afterwards

@OliverSalzburg lol, he originally interviewed me for hte original job I went for

he knows how good I am

now he's taking me for coffee at lunch, largely because i think he wants to whisper sweet nothings in my ear ;D

Mohammed Shamshid

Hey, Why are Public IPs not being accessible from different LAN?

I've already told him I don't want the shifts

and without the shifts, the pay wouldn't be enough (and they won't take someone without the shifts)

@MohammedShamshid routing error?

firewall?

Not enough infomation given.

and some crawlers are just really stupid and never update their information based on a 301. You know who you are. And why are you still reading this? I fell asleep 3 times writing this damn thing.

hehe nick

Mohammed Shamshid

@djsmiley2k Not any error. Its a usual thing. Usually when Public IP is entered in browser of a different LAN what does it show for you? Will the browser show page cannot be dispalyed?

*displayed

9:50 AM

@djsmiley2k tell him something like : "sorry, I'm going to be blunt, but I don't think the job with these hours would fit me, can we either find a better planning, or stop wasting our time on this?".

Mohammed Shamshid

@satibel :/

@satibel I told him that basically already

I think he's pretty desperate at this point tbh

I'm let him speel, think about it, say thanks, but no thanks

the problem is the jobs I do want to work for, are based in the same office, and I'm concerned that he may.... affect them

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k Damn! :D

Mohammed Shamshid

Nobody here with the knowledge of Public Ips :/

?

you mean like you have e.g. lans:
192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.0.0/24
and on 192.168.1.10 you can't access 192.168.0.11?

@MohammedShamshid

or do you mean the internet-side Ip of the network? If so, you need to redirect to a server using nat if your router doesn't provide the service.

Mohammed Shamshid

9:59 AM

@satibel No no. Those are private IPs. Im talking about the Public IP (which you can see when you visit this web whatismyipaddress.com). I have a machine with a private IP example 192.168.XX.XXX:8080 and what I will do is Port Forward it to acceess via my public IP example 215.XXX.XX.XX:8080.

But the issue here is when I try to access my home public IP 215.XXX.XX.XX from my office, page is not being displayed or it is not being accessible. If it is accessible then I can access my machine via this 215.XXX.XX.XX:8080. So, my question is why it is not being accessible?

possible reasons:

* corporate firewall blocking the outgoing connection at your workplace
* your home ISP blocking incoming connections on certain ports
* your home ISP employing CGN

does it work locally?

rule of thumb is to not bother trying to host these things at home... much easier to grab a random cheap VPS

even if only to get you a proper commercial dedicated IP you can then route to your home machine (via VPN)

there's no guarantee your home "public" IP isn't actually shared with a bunch of people (see: CGN)

===CHALLENGE===

48 45 4C 4C 4F 48 4F 4F 4D 41 4E 21 44 4F 55 57 41 4E 4E 41 48 41 56 45 46 55 4E 21 3F

@MohammedShamshid is your NAT set-up properly, Is your firewall Set up properly?

@Rahul2001 59 65 73 20 49 20 64 6F 2E

someone take a look at this guys question

he wants it deleting, but going about it the wrong way.

what question?

Mohammed Shamshid

@djsmiley2k Yup, it works fine locally.

@Bob Most probably it should be ISP making trouble.

have you tried another server?

Mohammed Shamshid

@Bob Its a Mining Machine. Cannot be hosted at VPS.

like apache on port 80

10:07 AM

oh so many reasons why

can you see the requests hitting your server?

Mohammed Shamshid

@satibel Locally everything is fine. Only the issue is I cannot access my Public IP via a different LAN

or router?

@satibel 01101000 01110100 01110100 01110000 01110011 00111010 00101111 00101111 01100011 01101000 01100001 01110100 00101110 01110011 01110100 01100001 01100011 01101011 01100101 01111000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100111 01100101 00101110 01100011 01101111 01101101 00101111 01110010 01101111 01101111 01101101 01110011 00101111 00110101 00111001 00110010 00110010 00110001 00101111 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00110100 01100110 01110101 01101110

@MohammedShamshid I mean, setup NAT etc with a simple webserver on port 80.

are you using win or nix?

Mohammed Shamshid

@satibel win. You sure NAT can do something with this ?

10:11 AM

@MohammedShamshid NAT is needed

either via the router config or via Upnp

also, check the windows firewall.

might be blocking non lan connexions.

Mohammed Shamshid

but this issue is not only for me. Even my friends tried to access their Public IP from different LAN. No success. ISP is a big headache here

Anyway I will look into NAT without any hope. Thanks @satibel :)

the public IP is for the router, which probably blocks ping by the way.

so you need to tell the router to redirect requests on port X to the machine that serves that.

@MohammedShamshid yeah well

Most router firewalls here block that

urgh things blocking ctcp make me sad :(

If you wannacry, you could setup your pc in the DMZ.

Mohammed Shamshid

10:18 AM

@satibel I will give a try on it. Thanks again :)

@Rahul2001 All ISPs are shits

2

they are the problem makers

for 95% of the people, not having your home router answering to external stimuli is not a problem, and actually beneficial.

10:32 AM

@MohammedShamshid I never said host it remotely. I said route the remote IP into your home via a VPN.

That would give you a proper dedicated IP. You just manually route through the VPS.

The only think you'd 'host' on the VPS would be, depending on how you do it, either a set of iptables rules or a VPN server instance.

@Bob for anyone wondering, I do this.

i have a dedicated IP, it has stopped my visits to corsairs lagoon

10:53 AM

o_O

what is that.

@djsmiley2k A torrent site :) @Burgi doesn't want to mention it by name.

@Burgi I've censored that last post ...

no worries

corsairs are a type of...?

i've got sarcastic in my patch notes

> One minor change is that I have changed the INT datatype to SMALLINT to reduce the size of the database. SMALLINT "only" allows for whole numbers up to 32767 instead of 2147483647.

A Dive Into Stack Overflow Jobs Search

Alyssa Mazzina on May 24, 2017

About two years ago, a significant event happened at Stack Overflow: a new system, named Providence, was released. Providence would allow us to tell which technologies a visitor is interested in, and measure the “fitness” between a visitor and a job. The release of Providence marked a stepping stone in Stack Overflow’s continuous effort to be “smarter” and invest in data science, and it was only the beginning.

Aurélian Gasser, a developer on the Stack Overflow Jobs team, has detailed the long road towards building the greatest developer job search tool on the internet in his Medium post, A Dive …

fun stuff torturing notepad: it reads according to the length of the file, and not what has been read, but seems to pad with nulls. It also supports only 1024 characters per line, after that it inserts a line break.

@satibel Yep. I've played around with Notepad a lot.
