Who was talking about old school Thinkpads the other day?

I got a bunch of T20s, T30s, T40s, T50s.

> Accessing memory that's connected to a different chip will incur somewhat higher latency than accessing memory that's directly connected, but it comes at no bandwidth penalty.

Well, well. This just proves that Threadripper will need to be treated as two NUMA nodes for optimal performance.

If EPYC (a four-die MCM) has this sort of cross-die latency, then Threadripper (two-die MCM) will also have this problem.

> With the quad-die design, a single EPYC processor might essentially have four zones for NUMA to occur, based on communication paths.

'Tim' from @GoDaddy is here to activate Lenny's 'domen'

You guys seen Lenny before?!

Bob

lol my cipher preferred list has RC4 first

I might be operating the most insecure SSL config in existence here o.O

2:54 AM

brb I need to unrack a bunch of servers...

bwDraco

@Bob WTF

rofl

My blog domain only has my Firefox Sync server on it. Nonetheless, it is still properly maintained as a secure, SSL-protected site.

Avery

wtf

like

at least use cloudflare if you don't know what you're doing

bwDraco

Still getting A+ on my blog domain.

Avery

ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=corporbank.icbc.com.cn

holy crap

ssllabs.com/ssltest/…

A+

Bob

@bwDraco Nah, not WTF. Well, not really.

This is just the server to my proxytunnel :P

@Avery I know exactly what I'm doing :P

Bob

proxytunnel only supports SSLv3. Well, the binaries. The source has had a few TLS pull requests within the last year.

Avery

oh

Bob

That ip:port hosts ... a SSH server.

Avery

what is a proxytunner?

Bob

Sooooooo. Yea. Anyone who eavesdrops on this connection gets to see ... a SSH stream :D

I think I prioritised RC4 to minimise the double-encryption penalty.

@Avery Makes SSH look like regular HTTPS

Though I suppose I should upgrade to stunnel now... hm.

Avery

3:11 AM

@Bob probably.

or just put it behind cloudflare

dunno how it'd react to proxytunnel though

I'm tempted to try

Bob

@Avery Nah. I don't think cloudflare does forward proxies.

Needs to support CONNECT.

@Avery For reference of knowing what I'm doing: ssllabs.com/ssltest/…

(ignore the "HTTP request to this server failed", it works fine in a real browser)

It should be A+, because I do have HSTS, but it can't complete a HTTP req :P

Hm. Now I'm curious why it's redirecting.

:38261581 Hm?

Q: How do I disable Windows-F

I want this hotkey free for Everything, after I have updated Windows, it has taken over Win+F with Windows Feedback. I want it back. Somehow I have disabled Win+R messing with regedit commands from Google. I have run Uninstall Feedback.cmd tool, but it did not work. Pretty funny seeing Microso...

Long live the dot-matrix printer!

These days, dot-matrix printers are pretty much limited to industrial applications that need a very high level of ruggedness. These printers are utterly reliable.

It's a tiny niche, but one that's probably not disappearing anytime soon.

My first printer was a color dot-matrix printer. I used to draw in Paintbrush (Windows 3.1) and print it. Man, those drawings were ugly. And my parents somehow never regretted paying for that printer.

"I need you to copy over data for 4 pcs by the end of the day" "Sure... where are they? I don't know"

._.

djsmiley2k

:D

ip's? hostnames? anything?

XD

Journeyman Geek

er... they are from the baking school

djsmiley2k

:/

Journeyman Geek

thing is "end of day" means"I need it by a reasonable time"

not "pass me 4 pcs 5 minutes before I finish work"

djsmiley2k

6:28 AM

:D

Journeyman Geek

2 hours sounds fine. 1 hour sounds tight.

djsmiley2k

/me sleepy

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k you're getting a new job?

Bob

6:44 AM

my life

Find SSL Labs bug => try to test/debug => find Firefox bug too => fml

djsmiley2k

@Rahul2001 same place, new role.

Bob

more generally, find bug => try to debug => find bug in debugger

I must be doing something wrong :P

djsmiley2k

lol

No, everything is buggy

Journeyman Geek

I heard you liked bugs so there

I heard you liked bugs so there's bugs in your bugs

hm.what a mess.

Oliver Salzburg

7:05 AM

@Bob That actually sounds very familiar

Journeyman Geek

also my boss moved back to the old office for some odd reason so he stole his chair back :(

djsmiley2k

@OliverSalzburg it also regularly defeats me doing awesome things

that rabbit hole is far too deep.

Oliver Salzburg

It usually ends with me searching for bugs in our code formatter plugin for our IDE or something similarly productive until I snap out of it and just do it in Excel

djsmiley2k

@JourneymanGeek :(

@JourneymanGeek Also.... sounds like he's now.... excess to requirements?

Journeyman Geek

> just do it in Excel

@djsmiley2k eh, he seems to be ordering in replacement hardware for our old XP stuff and mostly acting as a buffer from upper management

I can live with that.

also the more people stay out of my way, the happier I am, as long as I'm almost in the loop

Rahul2001

7:11 AM

huh, is rahul.tech down for anyone?

Oliver Salzburg

@Rahul2001 Works here

Bob

@Rahul2001 works here

Journeyman Geek

er. I literally get a blank page

Rahul2001

@Bob @OliverSalzburg Thanks

@JourneymanGeek :/

My internet connection is crappy, so I can't tell... It isn't loading for me

Oliver Salzburg

There's always downforeveryoneorjustme.com/rahul.tech

But they can't always be trusted

"Good morning. I see the assassins have failed". Is it meme?

djsmiley2k

@JourneymanGeek =)

Rahul2001

@Boris_yo everything is a meme...

djsmiley2k

Sounds like things maybe improving

Oliver Salzburg

@Boris_yo No. It's original

LOL

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg Is it from a video game?

Rahul2001

7:16 AM

@OliverSalzburg That image gives me a 404

Oliver Salzburg

@Rahul2001 Me too. Thumbnail works though

The whole internet is falling apart

Rahul2001

@OliverSalzburg yep

@OliverSalzburg seems so

Oliver Salzburg

Now it's coming up. Weird

Rahul2001

@OliverSalzburg whoa

what is going on?

Oliver Salzburg

Someone unplugged a thing that said "Do not unplug" but the sticker fell off

Rahul2001

7:20 AM

@OliverSalzburg :/ what exploded as a result?

satibel

@OliverSalzburg I was going to link isup.me x)

Rahul2001

What is going on

Everyone except me can access my own website

satibel

@OliverSalzburg the good ol' rogue raspberry pi in a black box with a warning sign and "security device; do NOT unplug."

Rahul2001

Other domains on the same server work 0_0

satibel

hosts?

Rahul2001

7:22 AM

Nope, it was working a few minutes ago

Okay, it worked 0_0

Journeyman Geek

I HOPE the bloody things are not encrypted

@JourneymanGeek Spice it up a little

Replace all songs with Look at my Horse

Rahul2001

7:36 AM

RICK ROLL LIKE DUH

I'll set up a batch script for you if you wish, which will replace every song with Never Gonna Give You Up, but leave the metadata and filename the same

Journeyman Geek

I'm already halfway broken into their system ;p

none of these systems have USB 3 :(

and this is the sort of work that SHOULD be set up and done in parallel

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek LAN

Oliver Salzburg

You obviously need one of those USB3 → USB2 adapters from Ali!

Journeyman Geek

lol

@Rahul2001 eh, problem is lack of storage too

I have one USB HDD
