No, I didn't flag 3 comments before UTC midnight... :P

@Undo Any other ideas? I broke my computer and it still didn't give me the answers...

Undo

Nope

hichris123

Wireshark seems like a pain to use with Android and a non rooted device...

Undo

You don't have to run it on Android

IIRC

you run it on any local-network connected device

hichris123

@Undo But it's an Android app... that's the problem.

Oh! That's what my VM is for. :D

Undo

huh. I dunno

hichris123

00:13

@Undo So using Wireshark, how do I see the data I would see in Chrome Dev tools? Like the POST data and stuff.

Undo

I don't know

I just know you can

Google it :P

hichris123

Thanks for the help. :P

Undo

You're welcome!

goes to make A51 proposal for lmgtfy.stackexchange.com

A: sniff http packets for get and post requests from an application

Put http.request.method == "POST" in the display filter of wireshark to only show POST requests. Click on the packet, then expand the Hypertext Transfer Protocol field. The POST data will be right there on top.

Undo

Yup, looks about right

hichris123

00:15

@Undo lol. lmgtfy would be the answer to all of the questions.

hichris123

00:50

Aha! Gottit! Thanks @Undo.

Undo

yay!

hichris123

Now to figure out what this stuff actually means...

hichris123

01:04

The... data sent is the same every time except for the MIME? Okay...

Undo

hichris123

So weird... after I'm done with my homework I'll test it out.

@Undo So does swag come via USPS?

Seth

whoops. Thought this was the TL for a minute. That's what I get for getting used to AU's orange theme.

hichris123

@Seth You didn't post any TL worthy messages... :(

@hichris123 Post spam, for one.

This will make it so much easier.

Congratulations, Microsoft.

You managed to forget that not all people have 'Segoe UI' installed on their system.

hichris123

What is that?

Undo

20:52

>:(

@hichris123 That's support.microsoft.com/kb/60874

hichris123

And Segoe UI is amazing!

Undo

It's not very amazing when it doesn't show up :P

hichris123

scoff Macs. :P

Seth

@hichris123 It is amazing!

Undo

scoff Microsoft apparently doesn't want converts :P

Seth

20:53

oh help. Sam is in the tavern. Is he complaining again?

Undo

He's getting ready to, I can feel it.

Seth

/me joins tavern

@Undo btw, link to that MS page? I want to see if I have the font.

Undo

support.microsoft.com/kb/60874

Seth

@Undo Yep. I was in the room when it happened, watching. Or rather, lurking.

hichris123

@Undo You posted a TL link? :P

Undo

20:55

@hichris123 Well as long as it doesn't onebox.

And you'll notice said link no longer exists >:D

Oh, @hichris123 I made my first really big mistake today :D

hichris123

@Undo Lies.

Okay.. What mistake?

Undo

I jumped the gun on creating a tag synonym.

Which is slightly related to blowing up the solar system.

hichris123

Mod magic... :(

Undo

yay for magic!

That's really all we do in TL, practice casting mod-spells on eachother. And waiting for the cache to invalidate so we can get more popcorn.

in Tavern on the Meta on Meta Stack Overflow Chat, 1 hour ago, by Revious

you mean that my way of speaking is agitating people?

trying to decide if I should reply to that or not...

hichris123

20:59

Must. Hack. In.

Seth

@Undo Say, where is the popcorn?

Undo

@Seth like... ~~three~~ four CMs, a dev, and three mods?

@Seth It's just offscreen in the upper right corner. There's a little cabinet with a diamond on it, which you have to open. The popcorn is cached, though :(

Seth

@Undo I mean, I understand what happened, no one else there seemed to. Especially revious.

Undo

yeah...

meh, whatever.

Seth

@Undo I don't see it.. but whatever ;)

Undo

21:02

@Seth You have to scroll up and right at 0.9c to see it.

in Tavern on the Meta on Meta Stack Overflow Chat, 4 hours ago, by Flyk

I need a userscript so that when I set fire to people their avatars burst into flames and fall from the user list to the bottom of the screen before rolling around in agony

wonders if Manish would be interested...

One could add so many interesting easter eggs to it >:D

@kalina ^ how much would you pay us?

hichris123

Doesn't that kinda already exist? The punch script?

Undo

But it doesn't make them catch fire and roll around in agony.

Which is obviously better.

hichris123

@Undo Not seeing it on mSR or chat... sigh

Seth

21:19

@Undo sorry for being dense, but .9c? Or is this some kind of joke? ;)

@Undo Try and guess what font I see...

Undo

@Seth hehe, yeah. It's supposed to be a joke.

You know $c$, right? :P

Seth

@Undo Not sure that I do.

I kinda figured it was a joke all along.. sigh.

GAH! I hate it how youtube videos auto-play like that.

ugh, youtube autoplay.

Q: Why does the Stack Overflow swag request form have six address lines?

Some backstory: I ran in the Stack Overflow election, and lost. Poor me. The SE gods took pity upon me, though, and sent me a link to a form where I could give them an address and they would send me stuff. Like any sane human would, I wanted the swag. The form has six address fields: I'm in t...

input-fields addresses

hichris123

@Undo Usually that's the place for 6 addresses. :P

Address line 2 = second address.

Undo

So.... I could send swag to me and five friends?

Doesn't sound right

hichris123

> Street 2:

^ That is usually the format for a second address.

Oh, @Undo does swag come via USPS?

Undo

@hichris123 Lemme look, just a minute.

@hichris123 Mine did.

hichris123

@Undo How big is the box? Wondering if it would be dropped off or put in the mailbox...

Undo

22:25

@hichris123 goes to get box again

@hichris123 It's big enough that I would assume any mailman to put it in the mailbox to be mentally disturbed and very strong.

but I got a rather large load of swag. I doubt the boxes are that big every time.

hichris123

Ooh, okay.

@Undo Oh, what are the exact dimentions of the box?

wonders how many times I can make @Undo get the box

Undo

goes to get box

goes to find ruler

Q: How can I store information securely when I can't use crypt or a hash?

I'm creating an application for Google Glass (technically it's Glassware, but whatever). The user will do the following steps when first using this Glassware: Go to my website, redirected via the Glassware page. Get redirected to the Google OAuth page so that they can sign in. Get redirected ba...

hichris123

^^ Wow, 70 views, 1 comment, 2 votes... and no answer

@Undo Isn't that what a hammer is for?

Undo

22:30

It's about 13x10x6.5"

hichris123

@Undo Next question: how much does it weigh?

Undo

@hichris123 I can't find the mod button on the box, unfortunately. So I can't mod-hammer it :(

hichris123

makes Undo get the box again

Undo

puts the box on his desk

hichris123

@Undo stops asking questions

Undo

22:32

Holy crap there was a flag sitting in the SR queue for thirty minutes!

This is unacceptable!

I must check the page more!

@hichris123 With all the swag in it or not in it?

Also, with packing paper or not?

hichris123

@Undo With swag and packing paper.

makes @Undo get all of the swag and packing paper

Undo

This means I have to find the flash drive, huh?

hichris123

@Undo You lost it?

Undo

@hichris123 No, I just don't know where it is.

hichris123

That means you lost it, no? :P

Undo

22:35

No. It's in my house somewhere

And I'll find it before I go to WWDC this year.

hichris123

@Undo Ug. I wanna go to IO this year but I don't think Google will let me... :(

Undo

Apple lets minors into their conference. Google doesn't. What does this tell you? :P

Seth

I want to go to OSCON..

Undo

The box weighs 10 pounds. Using Fermi estimation.

(what-if.xkcd.com/84)

@Undo Same as WWDC - Moscone.

Undo

oh, neat

@hichris123 If you ever get to go, take a minute and appreciate just how huge Presidio is.

hichris123

It's far for me to get to... :(

@Undo Er, what?

Undo

Like, my entire (decent-sized) house could fit in that one room.

@hichris123 The main event room.

Where Apple holds keynotes

hichris123

Oh, must be where they have the IO keynote.

Gotcha.

Undo

yeah

It's ginourmous

5100 people, they can fit in that room.

hichris123

22:45

I've only watched IO on livestream... and that was only '12. '13 was during school... :(

Watching the '13 highlights video now - it's crazy thinking, "I've been there!"

@Undo Watch the '12 highlights. '12 had the crazy skydivers with Glass. :P

^ I've participated in this.

Almost got trampled.

Moscone West is the only place I've been where you had to actually plan how long it would take to walk across a room.

hichris123

22:47

@Undo Wow.

wonders where earbuds are

Aha! Found them.

Undo

How much do they weigh?

hichris123

@Undo The earbuds? Uh... checks scale

> 20 grams

Undo

wow

hichris123

sigh Why you blockquote me? :P

Undo

At WWDC, Apple had four 30" monitors showing the wireless network map. That was cool.

And they had those directional router things every fifty feet or so

hichris123

22:55

@Undo Cool. Picture?

At IO last year they had mini-blimps in the air.

Undo

I didn't take a picture, but I can hunt one down

hichris123

Oh, @Undo did you ever see this?

Undo

nope

hichris123

Watch it. :D

What's almost as funny as the message is the ad directly above it.

hichris123

Fitting for the room, too.

Though @ManishBot is dead.

Seth

lol.

hichris123

I don't know what reminded me (probably talking with @Undo about IO) but I need to catch up on my IO talks... and the keynote.

Anyway @Undo that MS page gives me the serif font D:

@hichris123 Speaking of that, I missed UDS this year :(

It was on earlier I thought o_O

@Seth You can't have missed it this year... it hasn't happened yet.

Seth

that is so weird.

maybe I read an old article thinking it was new.

hichris123

Now my turn: wut?

Seth

ah, they hold two a year. That's right.

@hichris123 hm?

@Undo OSX is actually Unix..

hichris123

@Seth Why did you think you missed it?

Seth

So yeah, you're a Un*x guy I suppose ;P

@hichris123 I figured out I missed the october 2013 one (I forgot they have 2 a year)

So I did miss one.

Undo

23:14

@hichris123 Just finished watching that video

Seth

It just happens there is another one next week

hichris123

Android is a Linux OS, Windows is neither, Ubuntu is Linux... so I think I'm not a Unix person. :P

Undo

That was awesome

hichris123

@Undo The skydivers one?

yeah

Seth

23:15

@hichris123 Un*x != Unix, Linux is a type of Un*x.

hichris123

And now you see why I want to go to IO. :P

Undo

yeah

hichris123

@Seth Okay... :P

Seth

@hichris123 Sorry, took me a while to find the link explaining it: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/2342/…

hichris123

Seeing the skydivers demo Glass at IO was when I said Boy, Glass is cool!

23:17

For me, it was more like, "Wow, that's one big flat roof", but okay.

pin + star > star

and I want to be able to get to that link later :P

hichris123

@Undo Heh. carves URL into Undo's face

Seth

@Undo pin == star + pin anyway. Actually, if you unpin it your star will still be there (you can use that hack to star your own messages too)
