@allquixotic Bathya S?

Burgi

@allquixotic SliverOalsburg isn't a mod any more

jokerdino

Or Fvo Ilipse.

satibel

that means I have a lower chance of becoming a mod? @allquitoxic

DavidPostill

@jokerdino He is still a mod.

allquixotic

@Burgi I know but he was

jokerdino

13:01

@DavidPostill yeah?

allquixotic

@satibel ok DokerJino

jokerdino

I know they are mods.

I am purely lowercase.

allquixotic

dwBraco? ;p

DavidPostill

@allquixotic Random and Sathya are not camel case either ...

jokerdino

He had a B at some point.

Burgi

13:02

@jokerdino is that because your tiny dino arms can't press the SHIFT key?

Okay, I just discovered something. WSUS has a known graphical glitch that just got patched. It wasn't 4,026,930.930 MB. It was only 4,026.930 MB. Do you think I should tell those Server Fault guys?

DavidPostill

@FleetCommand You could self answer :)

@jokerdino Not very active but he is still a mod.

user226528

@DavidPostill Yes, and someone could flag me "not an answer". And he'd be right.

jokerdino

@DavidPostill yeah I am not saying otherwise.

DavidPostill

13:05

@jokerdino I know nothing about his history.

Mokubai

@allquixotic It's because I'm awesome and you know it.

jokerdino

@DavidPostill he used to hang out in this chat room.

I vaguely remember chatting with him.

Journeyman Geek

@allquixotic technically I'm two words

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek not when we ping you

Journeyman Geek

Tho in the early days it was the journeyman geek

jokerdino

13:08

for me, you are still the one

haven't met any geeks who are such

Burgi

@JourneymanGeek is this before you sharded yourself in order to answer more SU questions?

jokerdino

people started pinging him @the and he didn't like it.

user226528

What happens if there are two users with "the" at the beginning of their usernames?

user226528

Which one gets pinged?

jokerdino

both

rahul.tech/weblog.php?post=4

Burgi

you expose the post ID but don't check its valid

Rahul2001

13:13

@Burgi Fixed!

@Burgi I'd commented something off, forgot

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino naw, mod offered to and did it.

satibel

I like how in 3 minute something was broken and fixed.

Rahul2001

:)

djsmiley2k

now this is rapid prototyping

satibel

@Rahul2001 hide the next in the last post and the previous in the first post.

also, I suggest a first and last button.

Burgi

13:22

@Rahul2001 this bit needs looking at:

> You have viewed this page 18 time(s)

you are count the load of weblog.php not the individual posts

Rahul2001

@Burgi Ahh. Yeah, shit.

satibel

also, I dislike your CSS: I find the vulf mono italic to be just slightly better than comic sans, and the red text is quite jarring.

Burgi

+1

satibel

depends what you want, but you might like to change that if you link it to future employers.

Burgi

hmm... DO aren't sending me the little 6 digit code

djsmiley2k

13:40

Am I the only one who's employeers simply don't take any notice of his non work activities?

I mean, if I did something major that got on the news or whatever they'd notice

but otherwise meh, they don't care.

Nick

Urgent help required from your resident vampire:

Not Dog

@djsmiley2k Your non-work-activities at work or at non-work?

djsmiley2k

at non-work

Nick

How do I list all the .xls and .xlsx files on my Windows 10?

Not Dog

I don't see why they'd care

djsmiley2k

13:41

yeah

but everyones like 'omg your employeers might see'

Burgi

@Nick that isn't the sort of question my resident vampire would ask

djsmiley2k

so?!? :D

Not Dog

If I were an employer I'd not care too, BUT I've had previous employers whine about it

djsmiley2k

@Nick ....

Nick

I need all of them, right now. Otherwise, hell will rain upon me swiftly

Not Dog

13:41

Admittedly my non-work-activities were done during work time while not at work

djsmiley2k

search...

xD

Nick

@Burgi I'm the help vampire, genius.

Burgi

yes but i have an ACTUAL vampire, genius

djsmiley2k

@NotDog surely due to the fact you're not employeed?

Nick

@djsmiley2k please not, 90% of the time whenever I ask something here I do use dogpile

Not Dog

13:42

@djsmiley2k Previous employers

Nick

@Burgi They're so rare that in regular conversation no one expects someone to be an actual nosferatu-type vampire. To vampire something means to leech out something. For example, me constantly and annoyingly asking for help.

Burgi

@Nick not in the UK they aren't

they come here to work because romania sucks

djsmiley2k

lol

Nick

Maybe I'll get better tech support if I were really a vampire

or maybe the Windows hidden features for vampires might be enabled and I would no longer need any support.

Not Dog

Urgh power's gone out again

Nick

13:45

@NotDog I know the feeling.

Burgi

woah, dude, wtf...

djsmiley2k

D:

make it stap!

Burgi

turns out sarcasm doesn't translate into indian

djsmiley2k

@Nick not sure how this matters...

was into computers at like 7

got 2 kids.

Nick

@djsmiley2k From the computer?

djsmiley2k

13:48

sure

Burgi

lol

djsmiley2k

one's called 2.0

the other's called 2.1

Burgi

he downloaded them into his wife

djsmiley2k

o_O

Nick

@Burgi Hey, that's offensive. It goes against everything our state's communist government has told us:

And I am sitting in Pookatupady without any electricity, right now. This Kerala sounds like a nice place. I wonder… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/871252263188086784

@Burgi can you do that without root access?

Avery

13:49

@Nick know the feeling.

djsmiley2k

I got sudo priv'

Burgi

he has a token ring

djsmiley2k

:O

Ben N

Morning, everyone

djsmiley2k

ring 3 access granted.

uhoh everyone hide

mods r 'ere

Burgi

13:50

@Nick yes but it isn't advisable

Nick

@BenN we don't want no trouble 'ere, sheriff. Me and the boys are just joshin' around in this here salon you have here. Might I add, ye run a fine establishment.

Burgi

@BenN @Nick is underaged and should be escorted off the premises

Avery

OK what is going on

Ben N

@Nick New analogies please

A: Can wannacry or the wannacry 2.0 be halted or slowdown with only read rights for users set through active directory

It seems your question boils down to, "Do access controls prevent worms from spreading?" The general case answer is "Maybe." Having access controls is a form of defense-in-depth, which means, it's one more barrier the malicious software has to break through in order to do whatever it's trying to...

Nick

13:55

Do access controls prevent worms from spreading? XD

Ben N

:/

Avery

@Burgi flashbacks

Nick

@Burgi hahahaaa. Oh, how the transcript link for this comment shall be treasured forever.

Journeyman Geek

@Nick ehhh. sex/rape references are inappropriate IMO

Ben N

I would like to remind y'all that Mos Eisley (the SFF chatroom) was blown away because of stuff like this

Nick

13:56

And if my future employers doing a background check ever read this, please know, I am way funnier in real life.

Journeyman Geek

@Nick that wouldn't be hard

Andy K

thanks @allquixotic for your answer

djsmiley2k

@allquixotic howly cow, biggest answer ever?

Nick

@JourneymanGeek I know what you mean, I set a low bar for myself really. Then, I challenge myself to set the bar lower each day.

13:59

@djsmiley2k not nearly; I've written much larger ones before

Journeyman Geek

@Nick nonetheless, less/no sexual references please. You're quite literally straddling the line where its worth flagging and people are uncomfortable with this ._.

Nick

@BenN Hey, I frequent there too. Nice to know.

djsmiley2k

lol

No, you did

Journeyman Geek

And you've had a few warnings about that sorta thing before, as I recall.
