The DMZ

Does the Ghost Vulnerability require access (as in being a logged in user) to the effected OS in question? Can someone clarify the 'remote attacker that is able to make an application call'? I only seem to find tests to run on the local system directly but not from a remote host. All the informa...

@Gilles yes, we are familiar with this scenario.

^^^^ this is our reference question, but it's already pretty big and doesn't cover rebooting (beyond saying it's the easy way)

Iszi

Migration should be available for: [TopSite 1], [TopSite 2], [TopSite 3], [Meta.ThisSite], and [user-specified other].

AviD

@Iszi yeah, thats what we have now.

different order though

Iszi

@AviD No, we don't have that last bit.

The [user-specified other].

Gilles

@Iszi [user-specified other] is “flag” → “other”

AviD

I'm looking at it right now.

Iszi

10:05 PM

@Gilles Right. I'm saying it should be part of the migration options instead of requiring mod intervention.

'Cause the network's just too damn big to restrict us to 3 options.

Gilles

@Iszi only if there was a minimum rep requirement on the target site

AviD

@Iszi too many fish in the sea?

Iszi

@Gilles Oh, nice idea. Arguably a little overkill, but nice.

Gilles

because people migrate all kinds of crap on the basis that we don't want this shit here but surely those guys would love to wallow in it

migration should be based on “it's off-topic here” PLUS “we want it here” (for a different here)

but currently it's “it's off-topic here” plus “let's shove it over there”

Iszi

How about "X rep on current" plus "Y network-wide rep"?

Gilles

10:08 PM

@Iszi this has been discussed on Meta Stack Exchange

Simon

Still need to understand why GHOST didn't get as much attention as Shellshock.

schroeder

vulnerability fatigue?

Rory Alsop

Not as exciting a logo

AviD

or as Lego(tm)

@Simon because its only for Linux. Nobody uses Linux.

Simon

@AviD pls

Then feel free to move along and help somebody who needs it. I, nor OP, need what you have posted thus far. — user1801810 1 hour ago

Jesus @schroeder really, move along :D

I don't really see any input from OP that this one talks about tho

Another odd account - 19 answers, 105 rep

Might have as well said "I can do just fine not helping anyone without your guidance, damnit!"

schroeder

yeah

he must believe that I am so wrong that all souls are aligned with his righteous indignation

TildalWave

Would mods kindly please cross-check IPs of this one and the previous one with fantastically rated bunch of answers?

cc @AviD @RoryAlsop

similar style, vague conjectures with "if this doesn't work explain more" comments in answers (which should be comments)

also @RoryAlsop you might be interested in our next chat event in The Pod Bay ... Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy perihelion live via Slooh

AviD

@TildalWave sorted

schroeder

I shouldn't feel vindicated, but I do :)

It's an interesting question, in general

AviD

10:37 PM

@schroeder I like that type of answer, really I do. "What you want answers on a Q&A site??"

schroeder

lol

AviD

"your detailed response is completely unhelpful. What the OP needs to hear is some generic platitude about how I scratch my arse in private."

"10/10 worked on my arse"

Simon

You're a platitude.

schroeder

ROFL

AviD

@schroeder I really hope that was not for #Simon.

schroeder

10:39 PM

nope

"10/10 worked on my arse"

AviD

oh, okay then

as long as you're not encouraging him.

schroeder

never

TildalWave

@Simon s/platitude/platypus

AviD

Me, I could do with some encouragement ;-)

Simon

@TildalWave Works with me.

TildalWave

10:41 PM

@AviD jeez dude you really put your foot on that delete button there :)

Simon

@schroeder Oh you'll encourage me real good.

AviD

@TildalWave I tried posting my comment here but it didnt work :-(

I guess because I deleted the answer too soon...

Simon

Vancouver. Damn it, you're too far away.

TildalWave

@AviD priorities man!

first mock then delete

schroeder

@Simon the donuts here have sushi on them

Simon

10:44 PM

@schroeder Are you referring to the insane amount of Asians in Vancouver?

schroeder

@Simon I was referring to the insane amount of sushi places here in Vancouver

Simon

Because meni meni azns.

schroeder

There's a hotdog cart that puts sushi on their hotdogs

Simon

lolololol, not a bad idea.

And now I want sushis, god damn it.

Journeyman Geek

"I heard you liked sushi so I put sushi on your sushi

schroeder

10:46 PM

japadog.com

@JourneymanGeek pretty much

Simon

An hotdog cart with a website?

schroeder

yep

it's a great place to take visitors: here's a hot dog with tuna, seaweed, and it kinda works!

Ohnana

11:04 PM

@schroeder that's just a very strange sushi roll

TildalWave

@Simon wot?

schroeder

@TildalWave "Many, many Asians"

TildalWave

there are?

schroeder

in Vancouver? yes

Asians and South Asians

white folks are the minority

TildalWave

interesting

how come?

schroeder

11:10 PM

In my office right now, there are 12 people, 3 are white

in my view

TildalWave

OK but is there some historical reason why Vancouver?

schroeder

Why so many Asians? Kinda a long topic

It was a major hub for immigrants in early 1900's

and Canada has a tradition of allowing family of naturalized citizens to enter

so it snowballs a little

Canada also prides itself on being "mosaic" instead of a "melting pot" so people feel more free to maintain their culture and language here

TildalWave

that explains it then, cheers!

schroeder

so it's pretty popular

Ohnana

@schroeder that's a nice way of looking at it

TildalWave

11:13 PM

So, how many words for snow do you have in Canada? :)

schroeder

@Ohnana it has its pros and cons - sometimes people find it difficult to assimilate when they want to

Ohnana

@schroeder I see.

schroeder

@Ohnana on the other hand, there isn't the expectation that everyone should speak English (or French) perfectly, and there is more of a feeling of being a citizen of the world

AviD

11:31 PM

there is ALWAYS that expectation. MURIKA!

Ohnana

hey I'm nine days older than PHP

neat

Simon

11:49 PM

@Ohnana I knew that you weren't legal, HA!

Ohnana

@Simon not really a fan of alcohol
