Ah.

jokerdino

@Serg why do you ask me? I am not the best person to ask that question.

Kaz Wolfe

@ByteCommander How do I get from here to here?

Serg

@jokerdino you're a mod + Ubuntu member + you guys know me for some time already, so you probably can see better

jokerdino

@KazWolfe ask a mod.

Kaz Wolfe

@jokerdino i just can't do it? that's weird...

@Zacharee1 too lazy to refresh. and it's faster to post

user136984

@ByteCommander @Zacharee1: By the way, if the ducky guy is going by his old (one year ago, so may have changed) routines then he will be signing off around the time his suspension ends so if we do see him, it's more likely to be tomorrow, if he's still following his old routine.

Byte Commander

Phh. 50% of all questions on Arqade's front page are about Pokémon GO.

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda I'm not allowed to talk about this

@ByteCommander that's why i'm missing about 3-4k rep there

They're weird.

Kaz Wolfe

Niantic is still weird.

interesting.

user136984

@ByteCommander: Did you hear about the teenagers who got lost in a network of caves looking for them? Luckily they found a phone signal in one of the caves, but otherwise they would be dead.

Someone also found a dead body under water looking for them.

Kaz Wolfe

5:58 PM

@ParanoidPanda that's their fault. they don't spawn in caves.

@ParanoidPanda Why does stupid you not simply enable i.imgur.com as well? Or simply all images? :P

That image is in regards to Pokémon Go

user136984

Nope, imgur is a big source for viruses.

I've had too many nasty experiences with malicious images.

I just had a look through some images and then found malicious scripts in my cache. Vulnerabilities being exploited.

@jokerdino can you delete my two image messages? I'm going to reupload through stack

Byte Commander

6:02 PM

@ParanoidPanda and why should i.stack.imgur.com be more safe?

jokerdino

If you stop visiting certain websites, maybe you will not come in contact with malicious images and viruses.

@Zacharee1 no

Zacharee1

why

user136984

@ByteCommander: It's not, just if I block that too then I won't be able to use this site very well.

user136984

@jokerdino: "Certain websites"?

Byte Commander

Sigh...

Zacharee1

Byte Commander

So if you allow one, why not the other?

Zacharee1

You're already destroying it.

I never had a virus yet, except the one in our school network, but that one never got past my USB stick.

6:08 PM

guys, can't I use regular expressions with tar?

like
tar -cf FILE.tar '^RegularExp*'?

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda How is this possible ? :D

user136984

@jokerdino: Well, they don't actually run any checks on what goes in there so it is possible. You should be careful in there as with any app store and I have found dodgy looking stuff in there, like there was one which serves malware to visitors of its website and is largely blacklisted.

jokerdino

Try getting a package into the repo and come back to me.

user136984

@cl-netbox: Well, you just look through enough Imgur images and you'll find some which exploit vulnerabilities in your browser. In fact I think that someone should set up an automated system to do this and report vulnerabilities.

Zacharee1

Serg

6:13 PM

what ?

user136984

@jokerdino: It's hard because you have to comply to Debian standards and everything, but I've never heard of any actual security related checks.

Zacharee1

@Serg scriptz

Serg

@Zacharee1 where ?

user136984

Like nobody actually checks the code or the compiled version, do they?

Zacharee1

up

Serg

6:14 PM

@Zacharee1 you mean @IanC 's question about tar ?

jokerdino

@ParanoidPanda lol

Zacharee1

@Serg no, reporting vulns found with images

Serg

Ooooh

IanC

I can get the script to work using the bash expansion, but I thought the regexp should work with tar

anything wrong with '^PREFIX*'?

Serg

@IanC I personally would approach this with find command , it supports better regex than shell

Byte Commander

6:15 PM

Yay, Powerwolf's "Saturday Satan" on the radio! \m/ (^_^) \m/

jokerdino

@ParanoidPanda what else do you think the people do who sponsor the package?

IanC

@Serg like
tar -cf FILE.tar $(find '^PREFIX*')
?

Byte Commander

if someone != you:
    pass

@ParanoidPanda ^

jokerdino

The level of risk coming from installing packages from main or universe repo is very minimal.

Zacharee1

@jokerdino that's enough for him
