@JourneymanGeek I don't care if it's intentional! Who says "let's demolish half this building and call it a day"?

So do modern desktop motherboards POST faster?

Journeyman Geek

depends on how they're set up

Also, a lot of systems hide the post screen

Hey @Bob, can I add you on steam?

bwDraco

Root Access == Taylor Swift 😛

Bob

@ThatBrazilianHeadlessHorse Sure. Do you have anyone else from RA?

At work right now so I can't really dig up the profile...

That Brazilian Headless Horse

@Bob JGM and Allq. I looked for a "Bob" on their friendlists, didn't find one :P

I found hits site (steamparty.info) and want to try it

bwDraco

I'm sure @kerbalspacecat will like seeing this but I'm ignored :(

Apparently, Google thinks Root Access is about Taylor Swift.

The room description might be the reason for this behavior...

Bob

@ThatBrazilianHeadlessHorse Prob is I'm sure half my game library is actually in gifts (bought as gift for a few sales in case I didn't want to play one :P) and unredeemed humble bundles

That Brazilian Headless Horse

@Bob I have dozens of unredeemed IHBs in a spreadsheet.

I have to someday organize it, filter the repeated titles and put in on those giveaway sites

Bob

We also tend to find decent-sounding games to play and then buy em :P

I'M PLUGGING IN MY PHONE BUT THE BATTERY ON THE SCREEN ISN'T CHARGING

bwDraco

Just popped up on my mind because my Nexus 9 was 22% charged (though plugged in) as shown on the screenshot.

That Brazilian Headless Horse

@ChatBotJohnCavil To me is 92348945789346896 notification icons.

It's the modern version of dozens of toolbars

bwDraco

I tend to keep my devices relatively free of junk.

That Brazilian Headless Horse

I see someone like that on the bus and have to control my urge to clean their notifications

What's the point of having 10 messengers, 3 email apps, etc and never opening them?

Journeyman Geek

00:39

lol

bwDraco

> When someone posts a screenshot of their phone, I can't pay attention to the content if their battery is low.

Ben N

My Android recently-ish started pushing zillions of sports-related notifications and I have no idea why

bwDraco

Screenshot?

Ben N

I don't even watch sports (with the exception of the Olympics)

It's not doing it at the moment :/

bwDraco

Pull down the notifications the next time you see it. Be sure to ping me.

...and yes, I consider 22% to be low.

In fact, I consider anything below 30% to be low.

Journeyman Geek

00:41

@BenN sure its not malware?

That Brazilian Headless Horse

@Bob I'm actively avoiding the "buying" part. If a game seems really interesting and is in the 10 BRL range (can't use USD because I've seen games with the same price in digits BRL/USD, some varies by region AFAIK)

Ben N

I don't know how I would have gotten malware on my phone, but I guess it's possible

That Brazilian Headless Horse

@BenN You can long-press a notification and it shows what app started it.

kerbalspacecat

Hi

bwDraco

(9.5 MB GIF)

(and my NLE software crashed on exit)

I try to keep all GIFs under 20 MB. Anything larger than this will be posted as a GIFV.

Bob

@bwDraco If we're talking about those posted to chat... I'd suggest 10 MB or even 5 MB.

bwDraco

Okay.

Bob

Personally, I think 2 MB is about as big as oneboxed data should go.

bwDraco

01:00

I do check GIF sizes before posting.

Bob

Problem is people on mobile...

bwDraco

I'll limit to about 5-10MB in the future. (I did post a 16MB GIF a while back.)

Bob

It doesn't even affect me personally anymore cause I now have more mobile data than I know what to do with.

But... others here aren't that lucky

bwDraco

It's not an issue for me even if I'm on LTE but about 15-20MB is as much as I'll accept.

Bob

@bwDraco I really think this is a problem that SE should fix, but they've not done so yet. Bleh.

bwDraco

01:02

There ought to be click to play.

Bob

@bwDraco Consider a fairly typical monthly data cap is something like... 1 GB. Maybe 2-3 on the higher end.

That gives you some 30-100 MB per day.

Using a good chunk of that (involuntarily) on a single image... :S

bwDraco

I have 3 GB and generally don't even hit 1 GB, but I realize some folks have very limited data allowances.

Bob

Yea, I'd prod slightly with a "try to keep it down" with something in your <20 MB (<10 MB?) range, but more than that and I'll start moving them out of the room if I see them.

@bwDraco tbh I'm not entirely sure what's normal in US, UK or EU.

Ben N

Heh, I just stumbled upon your MSE request for click-to-play

Bob

I do know @DavidPostill has rather limited data even at home :\

@BenN Yea, I think I asked that after someone posted an 80 MB gif -_-

bwDraco

01:07

Oct 17 '15 at 18:57, by DragonLord

@tereško Sorry, but I have to flag this for mod attention. The animated GIF is 73 MB in size, which is dragging my connection down.

Bob

There's also the potential for abuse. Someone could maliciously post a 200 MB GIF :O

bwDraco

(200 MB is the limit for Imgur)

Bob

Of course, that'd probably be followed pretty quick by a banhammer (if malicious), but not until it's had an impact :\

@BenN This one?

Q: Can we make oneboxing optional on mobile chat?

As the title says. It'd be nice to have oneboxing optional on mobile chat, especially if it were something like click/tap-to-reveal. Why? Well... my data plan is crying at the tens-of-MB GIFs that get posted now and then. Related: Add support for .gifv format in chat onebox One of the recent...

bwDraco

Anyone with a server with sufficient storage and bandwidth can post images of arbitrary size. I could easily post a multi-GB GIF on one of my servers and link to it if I wanted to.

Bob

Huh, there's GreaseMonkey for FF Mobile now

bwDraco

01:09

That's the problem. Once you think about it from the standpoint of an attacker, it becomes readily apparent that this can be an DoS attack vector against SE chat users.

Bob

I could do click-to-reveal in a userscript :D

bwDraco

...and this is why I need to learn JS.

Bob

Hm. Either intercept chat code or do it on DOM mod... the latter might be too late? I wonder if removing the img stops the load.

Eh... if I remember when I get home, I'll try.

bwDraco

@Bob Mind if I add to your post describing security implications?

Journeyman Geek

ehhhh. Unless you're on mobile or have a super limited data plan...

DDOS is a bit of an extreme way to describe it

bwDraco

01:14

Not DDOS. DOS.

Journeyman Geek

same difference. Still extreme.

Bob

@bwDraco Go ahead.

Journeyman Geek

unrelatedly, I'm starting work tommorrow. I think tommorrow is 9-6, but I donno after that...

so any pings during office hours are likely to get responded to much later.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek What do you count as super limited, though?

1 GB is common (less than that is still common...). A single 200 MB gif is a good chunk of it.

Journeyman Geek

@Bob a gig or two I guess. I've almost never had a wired broadband connection with restrictions.

Bob

01:16

I suppose you could say people in RA are more likely to have greater limits.

But, hey... I was on 1-1.5 GB for a few years.

Journeyman Geek

but I think the term DOS is inappropriate here. I suggest "PITA" AKA "My Donkey has agony internally"

Bob

IIRC @DavidPostill has 5 GB across all devices (tethered?)

bwDraco

@Bob Done.

Journeyman Geek

(just for the record, I think click to play/hiding oneboxes is a good idea)

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Eh... I think DoS actually describes the malicious actor case pretty well.

Journeyman Geek

01:18

but not everyone is malicious.

I for one don't always check the size of the gifs and other images I post.

Ben N

@Bob Yep, that's the one!

Journeyman Geek

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Never said everyone is... just thought the potential was there.

@bwDraco -- not sure I like having that in the title :P

That Brazilian Headless Horse

01:19

@JourneymanGeek I did. The last one I posted I reduced from 22MB to 800KB.

Ben N

The new title might be editorialized just a little much for my taste

bwDraco

Edited out.

Ben N

Also, sorry about the time I oneboxed a 180MB GIF - I didn't know it was so huge!

That Brazilian Headless Horse

!!wat

ChatBot John Cavil

Journeyman Geek

01:20

@BenN which is why I followed the whole line of "this seems an extreme term"

;p

Wouldn't "this could be a potential security exploit" be better as a comment?

Bob

Back in a bit

Pc just died

bwDraco

> This has security implications because an attacker can post an image of arbitrary size on any server with sufficient storage and bandwidth and link to it on chat. Because chat automatically loads direct image links from any source, one could, with relative ease, post multi-GB animated GIFs and quickly exhaust user data allowances, effectively denying service to chat users.

Journeyman Geek

0_0

bwDraco

This is especially true if the attacker is using a CDN for the image, which isn't exactly expensive.

Journeyman Geek

ehhhh. You're overthinking it

bwDraco

01:23

Can't help to think about it from an attacker's standpoint.

That's just how security experts think.

Journeyman Geek

True, but we have a reasonably robust defence too

bwDraco

Not that I'm an actual hacker but I've taken a computer hacking course and know about this.

Journeyman Geek

an attacker would need at least 20 rep, and you can usually get a mod's attention within a few hours

Ben N

ROs should be able to take care of such shenanigans too

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Eh. We've seen ... questionable... users in here.

Journeyman Geek

01:25

they can kick but... not edit?

Bob

Anyway, that was all from a bit of a random thought => chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/32277076#32277076

@JourneymanGeek Nah, move the message.

Journeyman Geek

@BenN barrier of entry is higher

the hard part is getting the 'right' mod

Bob

@JourneymanGeek read the scrollback a bit :P

I think I said above - I'd probably move (to trash?) anything > 20 MB if I see it

Ben N

Deleting/moving messages ought to do it, right?

bwDraco

I might be ready to become a room owner but not 100% sure at this point.

Journeyman Geek

01:27

(locals, mods familiar with the channel - I'd trust jokerdino or terdon to do the right thing, but we've had some non local mods overracting in the past)

@BenN moving the messages takes care of the immediate issue

Bob

@JourneymanGeek The problem is "a few hours" is long enough for a fair bit of damage.

Journeyman Geek

not the person causing the issue

Bob

And we're talking monetary damage here...

bwDraco

^^^ This.

Bob

I've seen charges of 4c/MB, 5c/MB

200 MB can cost $8

Journeyman Geek

01:28

@Bob I was thinking the prospect of someone posting a bunch of large gifs maliciously ._.

Once again tho, I think click to view is a good idea

Ben N

Oh, but when it comes to getting 20 rep, you don't actually have to earn anything

Journeyman Geek

Just not the whole .... "OMG PEOPLE COULD ABUSE IT, PANIC..."

Ben N

Just associating 20 accounts together will do the job

Journeyman Geek

@BenN nope

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Whether malicious or not, there's the potential for that damage. Malicious could be much worse - they could post far more...

Journeyman Geek

01:29

you need it on one site

Ben N

I saw a user in here a while back who had 1 rep everywhere

Journeyman Geek

and proper earned rep (but association needs 200 anyway)

Bob

@JourneymanGeek You're kinda exaggerating the reaction there.

Journeyman Geek

@Bob ehhh, Maybe I'm assuming @bwDraco is overreacting...

Bob

It's not so much "INSTANT PANIC".

It's "This could happen. If it happens, it's bad. Please fix it."

2

bwDraco

01:30

^ Yup.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek ...y'know, I agree with him here. Heck, I brought it up first -_-

Journeyman Geek

Maybe I'm overreacting to the prospect of over reacting. or playing the feline's advocate...

Ben N

Also relevant: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/253487/…

Bob

This doesn't even affect me personally anymore. I don't really have a reason to panic. I have some 50 GB now...

But I still want to see this fixed, cause it could seriously affect other users.

That said... I'm somewhat regretting bringing this up in chat/meta now.

Journeyman Geek

@BenN wierd. Coulda sworn the requirement was per site...

@Bob meh, that's what they are for

Bob

01:32

Certain people who might or might not be here might or might not be the type to do this now that they know...

Journeyman Geek

I actually think its a good idea for other reasons, and asked about in the past.

I consider it a usability issue rather than a security one

Bob

@JourneymanGeek It's really both, IMO.

@JourneymanGeek The type of person to post random abusive spam is the type of person to do this.

Journeyman Geek

Yeah

Bob

@JourneymanGeek I think I said above - yea, we can probably clean up pretty quick. Yea, they'll probably be mod/banhammered pretty hard. But that's still enough time for damage.

Purely reacting is not really enough... it's a bit different from just saying something offensive.

At the moment, it's a hypothetical. I don't want to see it become a reality.

Journeyman Geek

yup

So, I submitted a talk proposal to the upcoming WordCamp. It was accepted. I didn't expect it and I'm aprehensive.

Journeyman Geek

\o/

Break a leg. Better yet, break someone elses leg!

That Brazilian Headless Horse

Actually, I sent two proposals. One I had already presented at a security conference last year at an, ahem, top renowned national university ;P

Well, more of my boss came to me and said "we're having a security conference, you like WordPress, you're giving a talk on WP security".

So I freaked out and read lots and lots of stuff and managed to pack 60 pages of slides in a presentation of 45min

(I also helped organizing the conference with the rest of my team, by the way)

kerbalspacecat

And you did all that without a head?

That Brazilian Headless Horse

and this year I'm helping organizing the local WordCamp, for the 2nd year

kerbalspacecat

02:09

Wow

That Brazilian Headless Horse

@kerbalspacecat I hadn't been cursed yet back then

kerbalspacecat

Ah

That Brazilian Headless Horse

Last month I was bitten by a headless mule

Headless Mule

The Headless Mule (Portuguese: mula sem cabeça, IPA: [ˈmulɐ ˈsẽ̞ȷ̃ kɐˈbesɐ]) is a character in Brazilian folklore. In most tales, it is the ghost of a woman that has been cursed by God for her sins (often said to be as concubinate or fornication with a priest within a church) and condemned to turn into a fire-spewing headless mule, galloping through the countryside from Thursday's sundown to Friday's sunrise. The myth has several variations concerning the sin that turned the cursed woman into the monster: necrophagy, infanticide, sacrilege against the church, fornication, etc. == Origins and... ==

@kerbalspacecat I know, right! It's almost like the men fear and hate women.

Have you read the original text of Bram Stoker's Dracula?

It's so sexist I rolled my eyes so much I became cockeyed

Anyway as I was saying....

This year I'm again part of the WordCamp team

Although the new organization chose to label me "volunteer" instead of "part of the organization team" so I'm not getting a new shiny badge.

But I digress

Besides having agreed to write a dozen and half blog posts (and freaking out on a nearly daily basis) I will help on the event day itself

And on the very last minute I decided to submit two proposals

One was the aforementioned talk on WP security, which I was betting they'd chose

Another was "Setting up a dev environment with git, Docker and WP-CLI".

It was accepted and I have only a rough idea on the contents. >_<

Well, I have two weeks to write it.

If I know myself well (and I know myself since I was born), this is what will end happening:

@Bob Azure is pretty neat, unless you're planning to use a domain in Azure AD with SSO. That's where most problems came from. So I dropped that idea, because it was mostly nice-to-have. The bigger problem later was that nobody in the client's office has credentials to log into their current hosting provider's website and they don't have access to the mailbox that is tied to the account

I used to have those credentials, but someone must have changed them
