The DMZ

8:12 PM

which means I get to be dad taxi through the day as well as the evenings

eldest two are working at the rugby tomorrow

they are really looking forward to it - as working appears to mean watching England v Scotland

Nice

@RoryAlsop are they being ball-people?

@RоryMcCune I'm not sure what their role is actually, but the cadets all do something at the start - and then get to watch. I'm going to try and spot them on TV

@RoryAlsop cool!

@Zachiel just remember, if you build it they will come

8:14 PM

shit it's 6 nations time again, I didn' realise

egg chasing?

@kalina yup

should just play a real sport

like starcraft

@kalina been watching Wayne's World 2 again, huh?

I tought of some strategies, but I have no idea which can work. 1) have the authentication happen on the main site and somehow propagate it to the minisite. It will probably be possible to fake the authentication at the minisite, but at least it won't be possible to crack the PW database without cracking the main site.
2) read the PW database at the main site. But if I'm allowed to do it, I guess that's an opening
3) have the DB duplicated at my site. Hackerfest? XD

8:16 PM

no

@kalina They aren't Korean, this won't do

does your mini site even need user personalization?

in fact, I don't care

I'm going to start my day

Macarena (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)

@kalina have fun with the whole travelling thing, may your security queues be short and your upgrades inevitable :)

@RoryAlsop what the actual fuck did you just assault me with

8:19 PM

@kalina If it was me, I'd let everyone download that material. At this point I guess all of our competitors have a fake account at our place and vice-versa.

@kalina the only good version of the Macarena I have ever heard

Leo rocks :-)

check out his covers of Barbie Girl, or Adele's "Hello"

hahahaha - or even his "Let it Go"

@RоryMcCune the only place to upgrade to from business class is pilot

Let It Go - from Frozen (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)

►

and I'm not ashamed to tell you I had to google the spelling of pilot

</earlyMorning>

@kalina what about "First"

8:21 PM

@kalina ooh someone's flying business class... posh!

it always looks way better than business

@RoryAlsop I got into first once randomly, it was very nice

@RоryMcCune I'm taking Claire to NY in April and looked at First, but it was more than 15 times as expensive as the Premium Economy, and 8 times more expensive than Business

The best thing in the world is being an Air Traffic Controller. Especially if your mom used to say you will never get paid just for looking out of the window.

not easy to justify

8:23 PM

@RоryMcCune Sometimes, I might be offered this as I literally can't fit in the economy seats

I take up enough space for 2 people :/

@RoryAlsop yeah the time I got it was a business class flight I booked with miles, where the route got changed on me so they bumped me up to first :)

@RoryAlsop mmmh

"first" vs "business" is a strange one

like 75% of the time there is no difference other than cost

many airlines merge the two groupings but in the instance where they're different first class is usually better

@kalina On Virgin or Quantas or BA there is quite a nice difference in bed, menu and wine list

@RoryAlsop Have you ever been in the upstairs part?

it's not "double the cost" better, though

8:25 PM

@MarkBuffalo on a 747 - yes. Once was on a flight to the Falklands where there were only 7 passengers. So we all sat upstairs...

I fine sinking into my ocean worth of seating rather than having a pod

it's not like I'm particularly large in any dimension

@RoryAlsop That's so beautiful... reminds me to go to the Falklands so I can try that

@kalina TWSS, right? That's What Simon Said.

@kalina I like to be able to stretch out, despite being under 6ft

And you do what Simon says.

@RoryAlsop that's my point, I can't stretch out that far

I'm not made from elastic

I am quite comfortable in coach with the exception of nowhere to set up electronics

in terms of... I fit in the seat and don't have leg room problems

8:27 PM

Small and not-a-contortionist. That's a pityful condition.

@kalina an advantage of short stature...

Checkmarx contacted me and offered an apology... and exactly what I had been asking for

Now that's customer service

loooooooooool ok for whatever reason my morning browsing ended up with me being on foxsports.com.au

and at the bottom of that site there is a little banner that says

"fox sports austrailia 2016 (c)"

"powered by wordpress"

At least take that out!

...well I found it funny

8:32 PM

@kalina lolz, it's amazing at what sites end up being wordpress these days

@kalina Me too

@MarkBuffalo I love getting wordpress reviews to do, they almost inevitably end up being "here's the wordpress hardening guide you should've followed"

@RоryMcCune lol. As a tester of pens, do you fix their problems, or tell them how to fix it?

I usually fix their problems... setup/code/configuration/etc, but I feel like that might be in the minority

@MarkBuffalo we tell them how they could fix it, if they want to. We never make changes to customer systems

ah

8:34 PM

@MarkBuffalo whenever I'm writing up my experiences with penetration testing I leave comprehensive feedback of what they could have done to improve their score

You never know there could be reasons why they are configured in a given way

and we almost never have that context

@kalina I knew you were a haxor

@kalina is that a euphemism?

@RоryMcCune ah, that's a very good point. I am currently aware of why things are configured in x way, etc

let's browse for how to harden joomla

8:35 PM

@RоryMcCune no actually, those exact words with no change result in the sentence I was making

@kalina you do pen testing?

@kalina ...I just got what you mean, but only because @RоryMcCune brought it up

I think perhaps we may be talking about different things though

@kalina ... yes

the most frequent feedback I give is "your effort was wasted and could have easily been achieved with automated processes"

8:37 PM

@kalina lolz

@kalina wow

That's an ouch

I need to do a site redesign @kalina taking clients?

After I finish the redesign I want to test it

I don't have a desk to facedesk against

@kalina didn't you know you were actually a website designer?

@kalina LOL Do you read Sara C Andersen?

8:39 PM

@kalina here was you thinking you were a music producer

srsface

Oh jeez what did I say wrong now?

nothing, it was just some coordinated silence treatment

that's what happens when an entire internet room full of people are laughing at your expense

Gilles

@RoryAlsop we can, since a few weeks ago (there's a new “redact” button in the revision history)

@kalina then correct me.

8:44 PM

Can't see it

well, I can, so your loss

@kalina heh

ahh I see

8:47 PM

I'm oh so using the last one.

vs

9:04 PM

ZzzzZzz

@Gilles - thanks for that. I didn't see that notification

@kalina but that doesn't happen with guys

?

@RoryAlsop True. It's mostly indifference.

Ohnana

@kalina lmao

Simon

9:39 PM

@kalina Happens to me all the time.

9:51 PM

@Zachiel pretty much

TildalWave

10:24 PM

@kalina conclusion is really bad, should be "all this attention, I'm awesome"

11:10 PM

@DavidFreitag Are you... are you alive?

@MarkBuffalo Yeah, why?

@AviD Btw, they got back to us and righted any perceived wrongs. <3

we got like 8" of snow

@DavidFreitag That's what Ygritte said, amritie?

@MarkBuffalo I have no idea what you're talking about

11:11 PM

Oh.

@DavidFreitag "You know nothing, David Friday"

@schroeder I live at the bottom of the ocean, it;s not like we have libraries

@DavidFreitag do you have HBO?

@schroeder I don't even have cable

@DavidFreitag Well, do you want spoilers?

For Game of Thrones

11:14 PM

My memory is so bad even if you did tell me I'd forget by the time I decided to finally download that show

the books, man, the books - just wow

Kindle!

um

so anyway

@DavidFreitag John Snow is a man in the Game of Thrones tv show... he becomes the lover of a woman named Ygritte

Get the joke now?

There was a joke?

I...

I'm... I just... I can't

@DavidFreitag Glad you're still alive </no-sarcasm>

@MarkBuffalo I laughed

11:31 PM

what I miss?

Once you've gotten much bigger than 1080p, it's time to give up on finding wallpapers of any specific kind that are in your native resolution - isn't it?

(Nevermind looking for those wallpapers in a native resolution with "portrait" orientation.)

@Iszi I agree

I also want to know you would want to go to movie theaters any more since your home television has 4K in it. So your just paying $12.00 to watch a 3 story tall TV

@DavidFreitag thanks to Microsoft you now have a small data center at the bottom of the ocean with you

New phone is 1440x2560. Trying to make it look more or less like the old one, which had a Cortana theme ('cuz, y'know, Windows Phone and all), but there's practically nothing out there that really fits in or near its native resolution.

@JukEboX Yeah but they paid a bunch of seahorses to guard it

So, Microsoft is Spongebob's neighbor now?

11:42 PM

@DavidFreitag It is slowly leading to us having our own SeaLab 2021

"He lives in a datacenter under the seeeeeeeeeaaaaa"

@Iszi Microsoft isn't the only one...

@JourneymanGeek lOLOL

lol

@Iszi yes its bill gates in a air bulb he can't leave

11:42 PM

@Iszi I run 2180p x2 ._.

1440p is not bad tho

@JourneymanGeek 1920x1080 on 2 monitors?

Naw

UHD x2 ;p

I'm confused

OH

@JukEboX I have 2 monitors each doing UHD

One's a cheapie tho

What's the difference? Pixel compression?

11:45 PM

Panel tech and build quality

Oh ok

the cheap one's plain old TN

I am running 1080p on 3x 1920x1084 monitors on mine

this is my secondary ebay.com.sg/itm/…

Can't get to ebay here

11:46 PM

Primary is a P2715Q

NIce

@JukEboX 28 inches, 3 HDMi ports and one DP port, looks yellow unless your angle is perfect.

Weird.

I think that is too big

also

remote control

@JourneymanGeek On a phone, not bad at all I'd say.

11:47 PM

naw, for UHD 27-28 inches is the 'optimum' size

Optimum @JourneymanGeek size?

any smaller is overkill at arms length

naw, for UHD

All mine are 22"

Oh man I saw something funny the other day

thinkgeek.com/product/ikrr/?srp=4

^^ for old peole

A: Will the pixel density difference be visible between 4K and 2K monitors at 27" size?

6

IMO "sort of". Its definately better and sharper, but native 4k content is pretty rare. I'm looking at a 1080p and a 2180p display right now. I do do some sort of upsampling in my video player for 720p video and it looks fine. (Would screenshots be of help here? I donno). There's a lot of disa...

I love how all of them say Worth It

lol

That is like the argument about the FPS issue. People say they get like 300FPS but the human eye can only really render like 60FPS so anything over that is kind of retarded

11:53 PM

@JourneymanGeek Had both screens. Both are very distinct

I have a 4k and had a 2560. Pixel density difference is like night and day

@JukEboX after a couple of months with 4k...

You notice the pixels on a 1080p

I can't go back to non 4k

I can only go up

and its rediculously sharp

even on the shitty one

Yup. What brand do you have?

Mine is Upstar

diagprov

Is this now the pixel density enthusiasm room? I am in!!

11:54 PM

Crossover

See the fleabay link ;p

Was only like $299? Or something

this was 350USD including shipping ;p

< Pixel density enthusiast. Not worshipper

@MarkBuffalo returns

@JukEboX ?

11:55 PM

You disappeared for a bit

Oh yeah. Was playing with my son

diagprov

Anyway I agree totally. I intend to replace my current monitor and graphics card for something with a stupid number of pixels just because it is so nice.

Still am, actually

You do need a beefy system tho

My system is crap

Need to build a new one

11:59 PM

Main system has a 980TI (which is probably the most powerful video card you can buy other than a titan)

760 GTX here

Runs wow @ 4k no problem
