IN OTHER ANNOYING JOBS: GETTING SSL INSTALLED
DOWNLOAD FILES: 4 CERTIFICATES THAT NEED TO BE CONCATENATED IN THE RIGHT ORDER
DOES COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt COME BEFORE OR AFTER COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt? WHO KNOWS?
SSL CERTIFICATE ROULETTE
 
Enumerate all options until you find the valid one
 
@KevinvanderVelden Basically this
 
That's only 24 options
 
I like how they make things easy for you when doing this
We could provide you with a .ca-bundle, but that would be no fun at all!
 
> Also, I need to agree with @Unionhawk.... asking Health.SE is dumb. Lifehacks.SE would be a better source.
that's what was in my messge box when I turned on my work computer this morning.
@fredley That sounds terrible.
 
10:14 AM
@Wipqozn That's just your computers way of reminding you that you are just the worst.
 
It's so bad it makes sorting out SSL certificates a kind of respite
 
@KevinvanderVelden No, I think it's my computer way of reminding all of us that Health.SE is a terrible idea which is even worse than Lifehacks.
 
10:34 AM
Oh right, except the people that have already been murdered by the government, death penalty and all that
 
@KevinvanderVelden This is why you don't death penalty
 
Yes
Well, and other things
 
Yes
Oh well, I'm sure the FBI wouldn't have made up evidence against them unless they were bad people, right?
 
But given how many examples of prosecution and/or cops just faking evidence have been showing up recently? That's a pretty good reason not to "do death penalty"
@fredley yeah, I missed it, let me see what the percentage of african-americans were in those trials. Probably close to national average right?
(Aah there's no mention of it in the articles)
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden re: soup and Nessie - both are/were amazing and there is lots of soup leftover and Nessie is the best ladle.
 
10:45 AM
Nice
You also have an awesome USB hub I saw!
 
@AshleyNunn I'm well jel
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden it makes TARDIS noises and a light on top blinks when something plugged into it is being used. (I turned off the sound though because otherwise it would be all TARDIS all the time.)
 
That is even more awesome than I thought :O. Nice
 
user15026
@fredley makes up for the biryani posts :p
 
And yeah, all TARDIS noises all the time would be... annoying (he should really turn off that parking break)
 
user15026
10:49 AM
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, sometimes I turn it on for a bit but then I am like "okay doctor you can go now" and turn it off
 
Yeah, it'd be cool if it just went off when you plug something in (i.e. you plug it in and it goes off once)
 
@fredley yes, yes it is.
 
Though then you'd have the problem of constantly plugging in stuff just to hear the awesome sound
 
@AshleyNunn :p
 
@KevinvanderVelden Also, wtf?
Man, I wish I could say that's unbelievable
 
10:53 AM
Yeah... know those people that were derided as being paranoid? Yeah more and more of them can now point at the evidence
 
Next up: Xcode forgets my project is an iOS app, only allows me to target "My Mac" as target device
 
@fredley ಠ_ಠ
 
And lol, there's no provision for refactoring file names
Given that I'm adding C++ code, I need to change the file extension
The means I need to rehook everything back up in Interface builder manually
fml
Now beach ball of death
 
Aaah how happy I am not to work with iOS from those stories
 
 
11:04 AM
It's a special kind of torture: Having to build nice UIs that conform to Apple's guidelines, for fear you might be rejected if you don't, all while using the worst interface known to man to build it.
To change the name of the App, you have to click the project target, in a specific slide-out pane. You have to click it twice, slowly. Not quickly, so it's a double click - click once, then wait a second or two, then click again. There is no other way to do this.
 
11:22 AM
@fredley It just works.
 
@StrixVaria ™
 
Seriously, this song, it's so good.
I tried to find the actual scene in youtube, and lot of them cut out all the parts that weren't people singing. So jsut talking or music.
I was...what. The music is partof it... and so is the talking.
Cutting that stuff out completely messes up the flow of the song.
#ragingaboutpeoplewhodontgetmusicals #hashtag #yolo #lifehacks #sternoiold
@Sterno: Which reminds me, at one point in BLoodborne you'll get back to the hunters dream and you'll be able to open up that locked gate at the bottom of the area. That means you're at the end of the game, however, I'd strongly suggesting googling before strolling on in because the game has 3 possible endings. First ending you don't have a final boss fight,t he second ending you fight one final boss, and the third ending there are two "final" bosses.
So mak e sure you get the ending with two final bosses, because otherwise you're a big coward.
Getting the two boss ending isn't that much work.
In fact you may have already did what you needed to do without realizing it.
 
So, is it #alwayswait2minutes time yet?
Or do we not care about the fact that @Wipqozn failed in calling @Sterno old?

Q: Should the review options page list items by required reputation?

djsmiley2kIt currently seems to be listed arbitrarily(maybe by overall SE setup or something?). It seems odd that the second and fourth item require 3k, but the third and fifth item require 2k.

 
@KevinvanderVelden You know it is.
You monster.
 
@Wipqozn Thank you
 
Discuss!

11:47 AM
@Wipqozn Yeah this song is great.
Or, well, the theme is great.

Q: Nintendo Miiverse ID Setup Problem

adudeSo I recently created a NNID (Miiverse Account) and I have setup everything, i.e email, DOB, credit card, region, etc. When I login to miiverse, however, it says I would like to know if there are any additional settings I have to do or something like that. Thank you!

Q: What are Azir's Soldiers?

WallyxSoldiers auto attacks are considered spells as we all know, since it procs luden's and you can't kill mushrooms with them (can only be destroyed by auto attacks). Yet spellshields won't pop on them because they're not spells somehow? Example: Sivir / Nocturne. Are they coded differently dependi...

Q: Can Chrysalid turn a MECH unit into a zombie

DJ PirtuI'm just wondering. If a Chrysalid attacks a MECH trooper and kills him/her, does the MECH trooper turn into a zombie? Does he turn into a mechanized zombie? Or does nothing special happen at all? My web searches have turned up at best speculations.

Q: Why can't I stack my Experience Scrolls?

DavidYellI have 9 Experience Scrolls but I can only stack them in 4, 4 and 1. I can see the difference between one scroll and the rest, as 8 are 'Account Bound' and the odd one is 'Account Bound on Aquire', so I guess that's why they that one doesn't stack. So why can't I stack the two 4 stacks into one...

 
@Lazers2.0 I like that he links to a page that warns about a bug that causes his issue
 
12:52 PM
Ugh
It is too cold and too early
 
I wish I could take the provided GPS unit out back and shoot it. That's where I'm at today.

redlang17Hi I have an Xbox I turned it on and I hear all the sounds coming from the. Xbox (xbox 360 white edition) then I look at the. Screen nothing shows up I use the red, white, yellow cables everything is all plugged in also it has no warranty help!

 
user15026
I am so close to a bronze 3ds tag badge. Just a few more upvotes!
 
I may have linked this before, but the commercial came on again yesterday and everyone should share my pain

Q: Code blocks aren't working correctly when placed after a list

aytimothyThere seems to be something wrong with the code formatting blocks. It seems to be correctly working when done, like so: Working! Definitely working. But, when placed after a list (markdown first then result): 1. This is a list. 2. This is a second item in the list. This is some code...

Q: How are trophies in Clash of Clans calculated?

Martin AsenovI've browsed like the whole Internet. but didn't find any particular formula for calculating trophy outcome in a PvP game in Clash of Clans. This is what I figured out so far: at some point I thought that the sum of points is always 48, and is separated between the winner and the loser, weighte...

 
1:32 PM
So, we have a Tornado drill in 30 minutes
In which everyone in the building goes down a single staircase to the (somewhat cold) parking garage below the building.
 
1:45 PM
@Powerlord going under a building sounds like the a terrible idea in tornado
 
@Rapitor ...because remaining in my office 10 floors up sounds like such a great idea.
 
tornado shelters are usually an underground area with nothing covering it
 
@Rapitor In the event of a real tornado, you're not going to have a lot of warning.
 
By definition an underground area has something covering it
 
Certainly not enough to find a tornado shelter in the center of a metropolitan area.
 
1:48 PM
@Powerlord not true. we get warnings here with plenty of time to spare. if the weather conditions can brew a tornado its kind of easy for them to know
its just the location of it that is unknown
 
@Rapitor You... don't live in Tornado Alley, do you?
 
Tornado warning requires either visual confirmation or radar detection.
Tornado watch, sure, but nobody takes shelter until it's a warning.
 
If we all ran and hid every time a tornado could be present, we'd lose a lot of time.
 
They're getting better at the radar detection thing, but...
If the building comes down, you're more boned if you're inside it than you are if you're under it.
That is, you're definitely boned inside, probably boned underneath.
But the lowest point of a building is typically your best bet (basement etc)
 
...hence why we're supposed to head to the underground parking garage
 
1:56 PM
Trust me. I took Weather Smart BSA. I know my shit. On paper. May or may not have been actually paying attention to it.
Also that training may or may not be the dumbest thing.
But knowing how many troops refuse to call stuff due to weather to show how hardcore they are... It's important.
(on this episode of @uni rambles for 20 minutes)
 
Tornados are very localized. We had one go down Main Street back when I was at OU, no buildings were damaged.
 
@Unionhawk Hey, at least there are people in chat at least, unlike in minecraft =p
 
Truf
I should make a "@Uni's think tank" room such that I don't accidentally wall of text in that room. Though actually it probably doesn't matter.
And actually no. I don't need that.
 
So: this is ridiculously tiny stuff: evilmadscientist.com/2015/nanobeam2
 
Because wall of texting in Minecraft talk is hilarious.
 
2:09 PM
Yes
You need to do it more often
 
#90sWebHacksForLife — fredley ♦ 52 secs ago

@fredley your answer is a dupe of strix's method 2
 
@GodEmperorDune ...no it's not
if anything it's a dupe of method 1, with a blank paragraph used
 
They're all dupes of each other: They're using text
 
@fredley ALT+F4 solves all problems ever.
 
2:14 PM
If the spacing is broken, use a non-breaking space.
 
@Yuuki "ALT+F4 solves all problems never."
 
@StackExchange I think when you remove a room owner you need to add someone back in his place. There must be balance.
 
Man, I need to learn to not reply to @fredley ever.
 
@StackExchange Butbutbut @Yuuki isn't @Wipqozn

Q: Gta 4 round radar to square

user3594202I am currently new to the GTA modding world and the first thing i would like to do is to make the radar of GTA 4 from round to square. Note that: I will also be changing the health and armour bars position,colour etc too So I am hoping that someone would be kind enough to tell me which files I ...

 
@StackExchange My trust is betrayed.
 
Anyone who makes an alt f4 joke deserves what they get
 
Honestly
 
2:15 PM
@John why would you ever trust @fredley?
 
QUICK. LET ME ABUSE THIS ROOM OWNER POWER :O
 
That's fair
 
2:18 PM
Like I said, he got what was coming to him
 
The only time you should ever say alt+f4 is a good idea is in global chat in a mmo, then watch dozens of people suddenly log off.
 
Also @fredley has explicit read access. In case he loses his diamond and... This room becomes non public?
When does explicit read access matter?
 
@Unionhawk When the user has <20 rep.
So basically @fredley would have to get suspended
 
No they can read then still
 
2:20 PM
Oh read
yeah
was thinking write
 
@StackExchange What? @Lazers2.0 gets owner before me?
 
Maybe so a particular user can enter a moderator only room or something
 
@Unionhawk There are chat rooms that cannot be read by just anyone.
 
Well, at least I took 5 flights of stairs on my way back up. I'm too out of shape.
 
@Powerlord Not for long, if you keep doing that.
 
2:23 PM
@MBraedley @fredley assigns ownership arbitrarily and at random.
 
@StackExchange @Lazers2.0 is just a pretender.
 
I was an owner once, and I thought that meant @fredley trusted me to be so, but clearly it was just because he's insane
 
That was mean. I'm sorry. I'll take time for me to adjust.
 
I'm not changing my swiftkey correcction of @Lazers
@Lazers and @Lazers2.0 doesn't tab complete
So...
 
2:25 PM
Well fortunately: A) @Lazers will also ping @Lazers2.0 and B) BOTS DON'T GET PINGS
 
@John So if The Bridge for some reason turns into that and @fredley loses his diamond to magic or something, then he'll be able to see what is going on
@KevinvanderVelden I use it to add context. You know this.
 
Can anyone else access their profile pages?
 
Also I am sad, OrigamiRobot disappeared from the auto complete list =[
 
@fredley Yes
 
@Unionhawk correct
 
2:26 PM
Both of them
(chat and site)
 
@Unionhawk I was more talking about changing the swiftkey thing
 
> Verification Plan for [REDACTED] GPS Unit
 
The autocomplete is weird
 
Not meta though
 
So that's the document I'll be writing this afternoon. Fun times.
 
2:26 PM
 
Meta profile is borked
 
Weird
 
@Wipqozn what did you do to our meta profiles?
 
And it's not just meta.gaming
My meta.lifehacks profile is borked too
Something weird happened
All meta profiles except meta.stackexchange seem to be broken
 
@AshleyNunn Yay, this is the picture I was wanting to see!
And is that cheeseburger soup?
 
2:29 PM
Something really, really weird happened.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I forgot to confirm that this is indeed hilarious and thank you for sharing
 
It only seems to be on the sites using the new profile pages. EE.SE and SciFi.SE still seem to be fine.
 
Hmm

Q: SockException: Profile page will not load

fredleyI made a sock, but when I tried to access it's profile page to edit in the fact it is a sock, it threw an error.

 
So I started playing the Lay of the Land modpack last night
It's amazing
Doesn't add a ton of crazy stuff like a lot of modpacks, it just makes the world a lot more interesting
It feels like vanilla minecraft, still
But vanilla minecraft in a few years
 
2:34 PM
@SaintWacko What kind of stuff does it add? Or more specifically, what are some of the mods in the pack?
 
BE FREE GOLIATH. BE FREE!
 
@MBraedley It has a couple mods that enhance monster AI, making them smarter and able to actually use the tools they're holding, it adds a lot of animals, including new sea animals, it makes the world darker at night, adds a minimap, some dungeons, but not crazy dungeons, flowing streams and rivers, dynamic lighting (held/thrown torches cast light)
There's the full list

Q: Minecraft Resonant Rise 3 server not starting

SolexGamesMy friend and I want to play Resonant Rise 3 together, i have done what you need to do to have a resonant rise server, i have downloaded the server and opened it, but it doesn't work. This is what it says every time i try to open it. LINENUMBER 1929 L77 ALOAD 0 GETFIELD net/minecraft...

 
@SaintWacko Access Denied: Games
 
2:37 PM
@MBraedley Ah
 
I still don't know why I can still chat, since chat.SO is blocked, but not chat.SE
 
It also adds thaumcraft for magic
 
@SaintWacko BOOOO! I'm not a fan of thaumcraft.
 
@MBraedley I haven't used it in a long time, but I wasn't a fan of it then
It may have improved, though
 
It's an interesting mod
 
2:40 PM
It also adds some new weapons, and Twilight Forest
Which I like a lot
 
http?
 
http is lame
 
@Batophobia this is what reminded me to buy the nessie ladle last night
 
@Batophobia @AshleyNunn found Nessie! They can stop now
 
2:42 PM
browsers can work without it, why not you SE
 
@MBraedley thaumcraft and thermal expansion were like my 2 main mods when playing FTB
i have no idea whats in FTB, now... i probably have no clue how anything works
 
@Rapitor Warded blocks seems cool, but that's about the only thing that I find interesting about thaumcraft.
 
little tiny golem slaves. that is all you need
 
@MBraedley Equal trade.
Best thing
 
@Unionhawk I don't know what that is.
 
2:47 PM
Change blocks that are placed in the world with blocks in your inventory
No need to mine and replace them
 
You pick a block, then you right click on an area with a wand to replace blocks of the type you right clicked with the selected block
 
Okay, I guess that's cool.
 
pretty much the golems were my main automation, everything from farming to storage/processing room.
because slavery is fun
2
(inb4 flag)
 
FLAGS... Oh wait inb4 was called, NEVERMIND
 
Meh, that's what computercraft is for.
 
2:48 PM
It's not slavery though; you have magical constructs to do your bidding
 
@Unionhawk That sounds cool
 
@Unionhawk with tophats
 
The only thing Lay of the Land is missing that I want to add is Treecapacitor
And something to stop the damned boats from breaking if they get within 10m of a block
 
Equal trade is really nice, golems are cool, but inevitably I end up only using them to automate thaumcraft stuff. They can be used for sorting and whatnot but I've never used that system.
 
@Rapitor and bowties!
 
Actually, butcher and protect is decent
Fishing is also not bad
 
Certainly better than manual fishing
 
Actually now that I'm thinking about it, golems can be used for a lot more than I thought
 
@Unionhawk pretty much everything except mining iirc
unless they can mine now
 
No
There's the arcane bore for that though
 
2:52 PM
yeah, but the bore is expensive as hell and doubled as a wisp spawner
fuck wisps
 
Actually, a wisp spawner sounds useful
 
@Rapitor not any more
 
You can't catch those things in MFR nets, they're blacklisted
 
For either actually
 
@KevinvanderVelden Dammit
 
2:53 PM
@KevinvanderVelden well thats good
 
Stupid... wisps... never... being around... when you want them
 
@Unionhawk there's actual wisp spawners around
 
You know what we need more of? Women wearing tophats.
 
i still liked using low tier miners though. they didn't scar the land that bad (just some holes that were easy to fill) and only picked up resources.
 
2:54 PM
</random>
 
@Rapitor ender quarries are good for that now
They a: replace mined blocks with dirt, and b: stop at the grass layer, so they don't even touch the trees and such
 
I wonder if I should downvote this post for "did not do the research"
 
you have to fill it with dirt for replacing?

Q: When does each boss theme play?

imafancymanI was just wondering: In Terraria, when does each boss theme play? I know the 1st theme plays after the EoC.

 
2:55 PM
@Rapitor No, it magically does it or something
 
that's pretty neat.
 
You don't get dirt from mining, but, meh
It also only loads one chunk at a time and mines vertically
Extra Utilities does a lot of things to reduce lag
 
Yeah it's a very efficient sort of magic
 
The ender quarry and the enderthermic pump are the two biggest examples (enderthermic pump is designed to be used as a nether lava pump, replaces lava with stone to avoid fluid updates everywhere)
