Root Access

Well, since you guys are doing tech support right now. I have a question. Which of these services do you reccomend I use : alternativeto.net/software/tawk-to

@djsmiley2k did you see the duck that says meow?

@Nick None, that crap really annoys me.

@Nick No, but I had a cat who said Hello

@djsmiley2k It's for a personal site, not product support. I just want to chat with my visitors. Or I'd have to embed an IRC room onto the site.

@Nick You have visitors?

What makes you think they want to talk to you?

Why not use @Rahul2001's chat? XD

@djsmiley2k No.... but I might :D

11:05 AM

Sure, use mine!

It's feature-complete for now

@djsmiley2k He hasn't given me the code yet. I don't want to use his instance.

@Rahul2001 Can I host my own instance?

@Nick Eh, it will remain closed-source for now, if you don't mind

I aim to monetize it eventually

I swear that it's super secure.

@Rahul2001 Mhh... can you make another instance of it on your server itself that I can operate and poke around with externally.

@Nick Hm, I suppose

@Rahul2001 I will never trust that till I see the source... or perform a few basic tests.

11:07 AM

lol

@Nick Perform all the tests you wish

@Rahul2001 Hey, I don't want to bother you, man. If it's too troublesome, leave it.

I mean, do you not use Google products? They don't release the source

Do you not use nirsoft utils? Windows?

@Rahul2001 BumpTop is open source...

@Nick Eh, no bother

11:07 AM

hmmm

i wanna modify the code of pages i see

so like css changes and other neat hacks

what's the easiest way to do this in chrome?

@Rahul2001 and um, you know the tiny bit of server space you gave me? can I host my personal websites on there?

@Nick 10Gb, and yeah, sure

@djsmiley2k TamperMonkey

ty @DavidPostill

Look at the genoristy of this guy. I have a lifetime of debt to pay him.

11:09 AM

is it easy? I've never done this stuff before :O

@DavidPostill Are you sure that's the best one?

@Nick Feel free to offer alternatives ...

@DavidPostill I have one!

Something I made

NMH

@DavidPostill Yeah, alternativeto.net/software/tampermonkey

@Rahul2001 What have you got? I'm guessing it's better than TM

11:13 AM

@Nick The highest voted one is GreaseMonkey, which is FF only ...

@djsmiley2k Can you write JS?

@DavidPostill As much I love Mozilla, that's sad.

@Nick rahul2001.com/css.html

....wut

@djsmiley2k

ok, now how do I do this o_O

this is javascript, not css o_O?

Did I forget to mention the bit where I don't know what I'm doing?

11:16 AM

Hah, drag link to bookmarks bar, click on the page you want to edit the styles of

@Nick but... IRC is awesome

@Rahul2001 I meant tampermonkey

@djsmiley2k idk, I haven't used it

@JourneymanGeek Sure, but I'd need a chatbot to keep logs. Matrix is better than IRC.

Oh. I run an instance of that

11:17 AM

@djsmiley2k That's my life everyday :)

@Nick run your own server.

What is Matrix o_O?

Just me and a bot :p

Anyone wanna hire a awesome linux sysadmin?

No? :(

@djsmiley2k Rahul is gonna gimme some space on his. It's been like 2 years I'm trying to connect to using FileZilla. I don't think he knows how to configure an account. Or there's something wrong with his server that no one can fix.

@djsmiley2k Change page styles with Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey

11:19 AM

@Nick I don't think you know how to configure FileZilla.

heh, how about I give you a browser-based alternative to ftp?

@djsmiley2k That's probably it.

@Rahul2001 You know, that would be great (provided I know how to use it)

@djsmiley2k I would, how much do you expect as salary though?

@Nick okay, it'll be ready by tomorrow

@djsmiley2k Tutorials

@djsmiley2k newfangled chat system. It's kinda IRC inspired but has a proper web API.

11:20 AM

@DavidPostill so basically... 'learn javascript, git gud'

@JourneymanGeek lol

Also xmpp style federation

@Rahul2001 No rush. I'm occupied till June 12th.

Tomorrow, I have a test on sites.google.com/site/ktuma202/home

enjoy

@DavidPostill I'm confused why the changes in the developer console can't just be saved...

11:41 AM

> My mom is the first adult I ever met.

source

That's deep man.

i know, thats what i thought

Being mature is one big part about being an adult because if no one was mature then we would be at war all the time. Instead, adults just talk and talk and talk.

this kid knows.

:/

My dad is tough. He is not easily scared by spiders, lightening, or the dark. I'm assuming that lightening was a spelling error, but who knows?

MJ?

seve^H^H^H^Hsixth graders?

All the school gets the money from us for fiead hips and fun razors and the suplise. I'm trying to imagine what a fun razor is.

Fun Razors?

.... clippy, wtf

11:48 AM

talking about craziness, just got this error:

> Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.

@Burgi C?

C#

You obviously went to a range of 10^x, 2^x or whatever that wasn't supported by Int32

yeah but i was casting an Int16

Are you double sure?

11:52 AM

@Burgi did the plumber manage to succeed in their negative travel distances then?

C'MON JUST DO IT ALREADY

It's 2,147,483,647. The easiest way to memorize it is via a tattoo.

.... a tattoo?

YES YES YES ALMOST

HELL YEAH!

THEY DID IT!

got it

phone numbers...

i was being an idiot and casting it to an int rather than a string

I need a couple of bodies dumped.

Any ideas of suitable hiding places?

12:06 PM

and on that note... lunch

@Rahul2001 who, wut

@djsmiley2k Oh nothing, my sis and I had been shipping these two characters for ages and after 7 episodes they finally kissed

shipping o_O?

/me is so confused.

@djsmiley2k urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ship

lol

12:08 PM

I live in an almost purpetual state of confusing.

@Rahul2001 I r at work.

> V: To endorse a romantic relationship.

@djsmiley2k you are officially an old fart

ty

@JourneymanGeek lmao

@JourneymanGeek also true

but mostly unrelated

I spent most of my life in state of confusing.

12:11 PM

shipping is essentially taking two charecters in fiction and imagining/writing fanfic about them in a relationship

ah ok

Often involves charecters who might not necessarily get along.

kids these days o_O

lol

next thing you know you will say you don't know what slash fic is ;)

@djsmiley2k lol. A good chunk of people who I learnt about that from are now in their 30s or even older

12:24 PM

@JourneymanGeek i'd guess it's a reddit

......

I'll get off your lawn.

=)

If people can't be bothered to name things appropriately, I can't be bothered to remember/know what the names are :D

Do you know what hsrp is?

no

12:42 PM

=)

how about HAARP?

hmm both of em ;)

lul

the internet is weird

it makes us forget people don't always have the same exposure we do

lol

@Rahul2001 I have some space in my back yard.

@djsmiley2k I will tweet that at 6am IST on May 31st from my primary account.

1:05 PM

@JourneymanGeek before or after you've left a "present"?

I hope someone isn't serial upvoting me

suddenly 2 old questions and a new one all get upvoted.

well, answers.

@Nick k

I don't really use twitter, other than for pr0n XD

@djsmiley2k You're welcome

wait what?

@djsmiley2k Ok, I'll stop

@djsmiley2k Me too. Word pr0n.

how is twitter used for pr0n?

1:06 PM

@Burgi search and ye shall find :/

@Burgi Many many accounts that you know...

(it's not, really xD)

I actually have a private NSFW list

oh god... you have an emjoi fetish don't you...

(poop)

1:07 PM

@Burgi after.

;)

tis ok, my cats would attack

terrier vs cats... its a pretty even fight tbf

there's 3

the cats would win

wait no

2 of your cats are kittens

1:08 PM

not any more

one looks like he may of eaten a kitten

plus they were half feral

Terriers would cheat.

Also I could release the turtle...

they so beautifukl

tho i want a huge terrium for him and I'm unsure how to go about it

it's possible to maybe build one, I dunno yet

If I could find like a 4ft, maybe even 5ft tank I'd get him that XD

@djsmiley2k I used to have two turtles that were almost as pretty as that. One died of food poisoning when I was in the hospital for food poisoning. We sold the other one. I think someone's eaten it by now.

your children don't need a bedroom

Hope they have food poisoning.

@djsmiley2k I know people who can construct that by hand for cheap.

1:23 PM

@Nick yeah, but you're in... india?

I can construct it myself if I really wanted to, I'm not sure I do tho

I have weird requirements :/

OKAY WAIT WHAT

@Rahul2001 wutwa

I don't get girls, at all

thats because they cray crey

@djsmiley2k Yeah, you'll have to pay shipping charges or just a one-way ticket for the workers to come to wherever you are. They'll probably stay there as immigrants.

@djsmiley2k This too shall be tweeted.

1:24 PM

So I'm talking to my ex, and she's saying that her mum is taunting her about having a boyfriend, and I tell her to tell her mum that we've broken up and she's like "I'm not going to lie to my mum".

So... that means that we're still in a relationship?

....

@Rahul2001 Yes

I. Don't. Get. It.

Yeah, woman are confusing

@Rahul2001 Introducing "It's complicated" option on the facebook relationship status.

1:25 PM

@Nick Facebook? Ewww.

I use my website for my relationship status

spots the first error

@Burgi So I'm talking

?

was trying to selectively quote -_-

FemShep does not approve when we talk.

jokerdino

What is going on?

1:30 PM

i have literally no idea

Q: HTML5 increase youtube speed 2x from url?

@Rahul2001 You do?

16

I would like to know how to speed up a youtube video 2x without the user clicking on the HTML5 (of the video), but instead by modifying the URL. For example, I know how to watch video starting at a specific time by appending to the URL the parameter &t=1m1s (for 1 minute and one second). Is it p...

@Nick Yep, just updated

Are URL arguments still not available to change speeds?

@Nick no, idts

@Rahul2001 Yeah, they are a bunch of idiots

1:36 PM

...

yeah, they must be

i mean idiots get to run multi billion dollar companies ALL the TIME!

@Rahul2001 do you have an API?

does it have public and private functions, for both getting, and setting the status?

@djsmiley2k ...for?

ah, no

Good old ftp + notepad

I think I might make one, actually

Ok that's fun, really fun

One f our clients group policies puts the local firewall off, for connected machines

It seems windows 10, when removed from the domain, turns it back on automatically, but 7 doesn't

Now dameware, once installed, adds a rule to the windows firewall to allow itself to be connected to...

cept, if it's never installed...

ithinkimgoingtogobuysomechocolate

goodbye :)

I'M A GENIUS!

@djsmiley2k That's what they all say, before I gut them with my butcher's knife. I see realization in their eyes in the last moments of their lives as they realize that I was the traitor all along. It makes me feel powerful.

1:49 PM

That's pretty dark

Ok :)

*enters room*

I figured it out

*leaves room*

the ops guys couldn't figure it out

1:52 PM

@JourneymanGeek lol, I was trying to be, for once. Looks like I succeeded.

the network guys couldn't figure it out

This morning I had a informal chat with the head of networks and sysadmin about jobs coming up overthere

I think they'll be pretty amazed at what I figured out :D

sigh

@Rahul2001 that is not trademarked anywhere. All the tlds are available!

user calls up ' there was an error but I didn't read it'

ok thanks. :;/

@djsmiley2k What did you figure out?

@Nick the chain of events that ended up being totally unable to log into a machine that was previously on the domain and accessible

also unable to ping it, telnet to it, etc

had to get it shipped back here, after it'd be on site for 1 day

so it was kind of big fail.

2:03 PM

Good job

Anyone else see image not found on the thing I just posted

nope

Yup, those are all my twitter accounts.

no but other imgur were timing out for me earlier while doing reviews

What's Kalam Sat?

Bob

I'm bored. And sleepy.

me too

and I'm at work :/

2:13 PM

@djsmiley2k The world's lightest sattelite.

lol, I can't even spell satellite/

Why do you have a twitter handle for it?

@djsmiley2k its tweeting from space

@Burgi ....

yeah, I'm actually just squatting the handle hoping NASA might want it.

2:29 PM

...

Boris_yo

2:51 PM

Anyone tried TestDisk?

Maybe it will repair my persistent MFT error?

@Nick its the indian space agency thats launching the sat

@Boris_yo I don't think that's what testdisk does @Boris_yo

double ping!

If you're MFT is fried, back up, wipe, start again, then give up on the drive all together.

Boris_yo

forum.macrium.com/Topic14308.aspx

2:53 PM

@Burgi Are you sure? The news article I read said it was NASA. I didn't see ISRO mentioned anywhere.

i read that it was an indian school kid that had designed it for a competition run by ISRO

@Burgi Nope, it was an international competition.

Yeah, he's my friend on facebook. I've chatted with him.

3:11 PM

@Burgi NASA

NAH-SAH!

Google’s blob emoji are great and no one will convince me otherwise

@Boris_yo that's your post right?

@Rahul2001 they are pretty awesome

also /ponies

@Rahul2001 i know an indian guy called Nassa

is that pronounced the same?

so the answer is no

dat red :(

Also, no, there's no lime trees

infact, I don't even know of a Park...

@djsmiley2k Traffic jam?

every day

something not right with that junction at the top, the lights on the roundabout... (yeah, dont' ask) don't work right

3:27 PM

@Rahul2001 congrats

@Avery Not my first time, eh. You done that stuff before? It ain't too difficult, just gotta use them brains.

Yeah I have some experience

brb there's someone on the door

@Avery Ah, you nailed them to the door? Cool!

monkeys!

3:30 PM

@jokerdino ?

@Rahul2001 nope, we're driving to the nearest police station now, I'm apparently under arrest 🤔

@Avery What!?

I'm joking about all the body hiding stuff

lol, you scared me

@djsmiley2k That's what they all say, before I gut them with my butcher's knife. I see realization in their eyes in the last moments of their lives as they realize that I was the traitor all along. It makes me feel powerful.

don't worry I scared myself too

I'm joking about all the body hiding stuff

@DavidPostill Nothing, our jokes got too dark

buuut yeah I broke rule #5

jokerdino

@Avery ?????

@Avery ...which is?

3:34 PM

@Rahul2001 "Do not joke about law enforcement stuff", because it's possible and I'd rather get believed than be called a troll if it gets to it.

46 secs ago, by Avery

I'm joking about all the body hiding stuff

@Avery Yeah. What're the rest of the rules?

@ATaco on this note, on my 2nd or 3rd day of a new job, I TKO'd their entire UAT server by del the database

When I left 9 months later, they'd still not completely fixed it xD

@Rahul2001 we don't talk about them either

Ben N

I hope they keep backups now

@BenN I'm currently working on my first decent backup!

@BenN They did then

but they didn't know that the upgrade process (which I was doing as a newbie) was breaking binaries stored within the db....

Only after reinstalling becuase I nuked it, did they find out...

3:39 PM

1: You do not talk about the rules
2: You do NOT talk about the rules
3: Be nice
4: Assume good intent
5: Do not joke about law enforcement stuff
6: Be accepting
7: if (room.name != "The Bridge"): swearingallowed=false; # meh, I just don't want to risk it
8: Don't delve into weird sexual stuff
9: Don't delve too much into life, don't want to get people depressed or look like you're seeking attention
10: watch your wording of jokes and rants
11: Advertise arch linux whenever possible

The good news is 'We found out in UAT' the bad news is 'It then took 9 months to fix'

Don't risk #7 even in the bridge

arch linux = best

Nein.

12. Do not claim to know more about Linux than Smiley
