Seems to be a white balance issue to me. The saved image should contain Exif metadata which specifies the settings the camera used. The D70s is also a very, very old camera (dating back to April 2005, more than a decade ago) and I strongly recommend that you consider upgrading to a newer model as sensor and image processing technology has changed dramatically since. — bwDraco 6 mins ago

The japanese bullet trains are monorails?

qasdfdsaq

Debatable... but the German ones were.

Looks like STO is still getting DDoS'd... :-/

To some extent that depends on your definition of "monorail", but that's partly the issue, the guy calls everything from maglev bullet trains to an upside down tram a monorail.

I've played two, STO has been getting a lot of attacks on and off, the other MMO I played I'm not aware of it getting DDoS'd ever.

At least, not successfully.

The guys who run STO seem to be exceptionally bad at handling it, but then again, they're bad enough handling day-to-day player load as it is.

My hosting provider Linode was slammed with a series of DDOS attacks for more than two weeks starting on Christmas 2015.

CHS addressing is obsolete. Any numbers listed in the cylinders, heads, sectors fields are fake.

@Bob The entire stick.

@qasdfdsaq Oh. Didn't know it was the same company.

Oliver Salzburg

And they give the address of the portal with `https:\\` :(

cpx

@qasdfdsaq Ah, right.

qasdfdsaq

@OliverSalzburg At least it is https.

Bob

11:53

@OliverSalzburg It actually makes sense. Emails are not confidential.

Unless you apply encryption (e.g. PGP) on top. Which is rarely supported.

All-in-all, HTTPS is easier.

Oliver Salzburg

I was referring to their use of backslashes

Bob

1 min ago, by Oliver Salzburg

Because, well, sensitive data apparently has to be transported through web portals

qasdfdsaq

Chrome interprets backslashes as forwardslashes automatically it seems

Bob

It really does have to.

qasdfdsaq

So does internet explorer

Bob

11:55

Of easily-accessible methods, you're basically left with HTTPS and FTPS/SFTP.

qasdfdsaq

Maybe they've been using backslashes for everything their entire lives and never noticed it was being silently changed to forwardslashes when they press enter? :-P

Oliver Salzburg

Yeah, they take security very seriously. Which is also why they sent me the guide as a Word document

qasdfdsaq

If it's already an "encrypted file" and it's being sent through a secure web interface, that's pretty much industry standard.

I mean banks use it, government agencies use it, educational institutions use it, etc.

Bob

@qasdfdsaq Most don't even require the file to be encrypted first, AFAIK.

qasdfdsaq

@Bob I was literally in the process of typing that

Bob

11:57

And it really adds little. Unless they don't control the web endpoint.

cpx

Still the values are different and probably fake: Cylinders 121,601 and Tracks 31,008,255.

qasdfdsaq

31008255 divided by 121601 is exactly 255

Bob

@cpx Cylinder is distance from centre. Track is distance from centre on one platter. Track is a combination of head and cylinder. Number of tracks is number of heads x number of cylinders.

...I think.

qasdfdsaq

Probably 255 heads x 121601 cylinders.

Bob

Yea, sounds like it.

qasdfdsaq

12:03

> For a single or double sided floppy disk track is the common term; and for more than two heads cylinder is the common term. Strictly speaking a track is a given CH combination consisting of SPT sectors, while a cylinder consists of SPT×H sectors.

Journeyman Geek

also with modern drives isn't all that abstracted out?

cpx

I doubt if any drive has 255 heads. It sounds ridiculous.

qasdfdsaq

@JourneymanGeek I did say it's obsolete.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Bob

@cpx Again, those numbers are all fake.

Journeyman Geek

12:04

yuuup

Bob

Drives use LBA now.

You give it a block number. You don't know, or care, where on the drive you are.

qasdfdsaq

Drives have been using LBA for over a decade

Bob

The drive might not even have heads (see: SSDs)

cpx

@qasdfdsaq Since SATA I think.

Bob

CHS itself originally reflected physical layout but now it's just an abstract, and obsolete, addressing model.

qasdfdsaq

12:05

@cpx No, since way way way before SATA

CHS is only capable of addressing disks up to 8GB in size in extended form, and 0.5GB in standard form

> With an old BIOS limit of 1024 cylinders and the ATA limit of 16 heads[9] the combined effect was 1024×16×63=1032192 sectors, i.e., a 504 MiB limit for sector size 512. BIOS translation schemes known as ECHS and revised ECHS mitigated this limitation by using 128 or 240 instead of 16 heads, simultaneously reducing the numbers of cylinders and sectors to fit into 1024/128/63 (ECHS limit: 4032 MiB) or 1024/240/63 (revised ECHS limit: 7560 MiB) for the given total number of sectors on a disk

ANY drive over 8GB uses fake numbers. I don't know why they still exist tbh.

LBA has been around since 1986.

Bob

@qasdfdsaq Huh. That's a decade earlier than I expected.

qasdfdsaq

> The IDE standard included 22-bit LBA as an option (1986), which was further extended to 28-bit with the release of ATA-1 (1994) and to 48-bit with the release of ATA-6 (2003), whereas the size of entries in on-disk and in-memory data structures holding the address is typically 32 or 64 bits. Most hard disk drives released after 1996 implement logical block addressing.

Kids these days will probably grow up having never heard of CHS addressing.

Bob

@qasdfdsaq Oh, they'll hear of it.

See: classful networks.

qasdfdsaq

@Bob Kids these days probably won't hear of that either

By the time they're old enough to understand networks we'll all be on native IPv6.

:27106393 Size limits, plus it has to match both SHA-1 hashes

In the case of my ZFS array, I have the actual data, the possibilities are only where they lie on which disk

Which is slightly easier to brute force. Incidentally, not sure if I'm running fletcher4 or sha-1 checksums, but if the latter, a CPU upgrade might help drastically.

It's because our organization uses FOG, so that is what we use to image. We also still use Samba 3 domains, which requires us to force Windows to use Local Profiles only.
