Root Access

@MichaelFrank depends. ask once and remember refusal? cool. ask every time? go away. make the browser prompt for permission every time (which steals focus)? gtfo

Michael Frank

Oh yea, if it's a custom pop up, that's fine. I don't mind clicking it away.

If it's the actual browser settings though... Quit trying to hijack my browser!

Journeyman Geek

oh

facebook once managed to get itself to have notiofications on my phone....

web notifications

oddly I use the app

Michael Frank

Strange..

Ha! I ordered a Google Chromecast from Google directly as there wasn't any in stock nearby that was any cheaper.

Inbox has a button that lets you track orders from emails they detect a tracking number in.

I tried to track my package from Google and they can't find it.

The order confirmation email even has a tracking link it in, that still doesn't work.

Journeyman Geek

Hi Everyone. I'm not sure how to proceed here... I received an encrypted message from something called OME encryption. It looks like some Microsoft encrypted email program. I can't find a viewer for it. Does anyone know anything about it? Where can I find an OME encrypted email viewer? (0 hits on GitHub).

allquixotic

@jww do you know who the sender is? (look at the mail headers)

make sure you know the person before you bother

first hit on google: support.office.com/en-us/article/…

jww

Thanks @allquixotic. The message is from the State of Maryland in response to a question I asked of them last week. Regarding the page you referenced, I saw that too. But I cannot find the desktop viewer. Do you know if OME email encryption an open standard? Do you know if it has an associated viewer?

Michael Frank

Obvious training module answers are obvious... The options boil down to:

* Do the Thing
* Don't do the Thing

Journeyman Geek

it looks like it should just open up as a webpage?

Michael Frank

Guess which option is normally correct?!

> To view encrypted messages, recipients can either get a one-time passcode, sign in with a Microsoft account, or sign in with a work or school account associated with Office 365. Recipients can also send encrypted replies. They don’t need an Office 365 subscription to view encrypted messages or send encrypted replies.

allquixotic

@jww I'm 99% sure it's not an open standard

> Office 365 Message Encryption is an online service that’s built on Microsoft Azure Rights Management (Azure RMS) which is part of Azure Information Protection. Office 365 administrators can define mail flow rules to determine the conditions for encryption. For example, a rule can require the encryption of all messages addressed to a specific recipient.

When someone sends an email message in Exchange Online that matches an encryption mail flow rule, the message is encrypted before it's sent. All Office 365 end-users that use Outlook clients to read mail receive native, first-class reading…

it sounds like the message itself should contain some kind of (unencrypted) link to go view the message on some Exchange website

out of curiosity which Maryland office is sending you this stupid Microsoft encrypted email? I might email them complaining as I'm a fellow Marylander

of course I won't be able to read their response, but oh well

Journeyman Geek

lol

Reminds me of when a non-English-speaker says "No speeka English!" and you speak more English at them; or you say "నేను తెలుగు మాట్లాడను" and they're like "సర్, మీరు వెళ్లనివ్వకుంటే, నేను పోలీసులకు కాల్ చేస్తాను" and you're like "THAT DOESN'T HELP"

@allquixotic - There's some friction between myself and the Attorney General's Office. For the big data breaches, like Anthem and Equifax, AG Brian Frosh is not acquiring a list of breached SSN's and then providing them to the Comptroller's Office. Instead, Maryland pays out millions in SIRF fraud (https://www.justice.gov/tax/stolen-identity-refund-fraud) and pushes it onto the citizens rather than recovering the money from the companies.

The message is from the Comptrollers Office. It is a reply to my inquiry confirming AG Frosh did not obtain the SSN's and failed to ensure the breached S…

@JourneymanGeek Hi. May I suggest that you be more mindful of spelling, grammar and style in blog posts? I think that's important.

Journeyman Geek

@FleetCommand shrug I spellcheck and its mostly personal documentation ;p

maybe if I ever move over to jakyll I'll let folks do PRs

user226528

I know. But the person who reads it considers it a blog regardless.

Journeyman Geek

A blog isn't professional writing ._.

user226528

Also, PR as in proofreading is not evil. PR as in press release... has an undeserved evil reputation.

Journeyman Geek

I'm not selling stuff, and the only reason I asked if it was running is cause its hosted on the same server as the resource I actually was having trouble with

Alright. Good luck.

for example, the most recent post is there in case I need to redo my relay ;p

I finally installed the update to rule them all.

(also, I probably should wipe my other server, and test out nginix units on it for the future)

@JourneymanGeek Wave was (and is was) a standard (a reference implementation?)

Journeyman Geek

no no

bertieb

Now the Apache Foundation have retired it as well

Journeyman Geek

RCS is a standard made by the GSM standards body

bertieb

Aye, fair enough

Not sure why it needs Yet Another Google App (Coming soon, Google Yaga?) similar-but-slightly-different (and incompatible-with) the other 10 :P

user226528

I remember when I was a kid, Apache foundation's only project was their HTTP server. It was called "a patchy server" too. When did it start pumping our all these other projects?

Unless it's to be deliberately, obtusely different from Apple

Who (AFAICT from the outside of their ecosystem) seem to roll protocol/functionality updates into apps (iMessage?)

I mean, I can't see Apple having 11 (and counting) apps that all do some slightly different, overlapping subset of text/audio/video communication

(as for Wave: incubator.apache.org/projects/wave.html)

I guess they'd rather move on to MediaWiki instead.
