I like this comic, but it's very disturbing. Proceed with extreme caution (Trigger warning: depressing childhood stuff.)

welp it sounds like the documentation was poor and they have terrible disaster recovery processes

Avery

@Rahul2001 I regret everything.

Rahul2001

08:14

@Avery I warned you.

Avery

You did.

Burgi

hmmm... think i might have missed the opportunity to do some pastoral care with my minion

satibel

I guess I should say this is disturbing, but TBH I don't really care.

Bob

@Rahul2001 I feel like your warning could have been more explicit.

Avery

Trigger Warning is usually a good way to put it.

Rahul2001

08:23

@Bob I warned her outside of SE chat too

But yeah, is there a mod here?

Journeyman Geek

Vaguely.

doppelgreener

@Rahul2001 Does that revision look OK?

Rahul2001

@doppelgreener Yep, thanks

Journeyman Geek

Helping Mom buy fans.

doppelgreener

@Rahul2001 No problem 👍

Avery

08:35

@doppelgreener hey, nice profile picture!

I should bribe my artist to make me a heart shaped pride flag.

doppelgreener

@Avery thank you! :D

a friend of mine made mine for me. :)

Avery

well said artist is a friend too

satibel

@Avery I have my tablet with me, If you want I can try to do that once I'm off work.

Avery

bribe is mostly this:

satibel

> but meh

XD

doppelgreener

08:42

@Avery that is a good method of bribery but it is also traditional to offer them something in exchange

it is a very avant-garde form of bribery to skip that step

Avery

hmm...

doppelgreener

XD

satibel

4.20 I get that reference.

Avery

don't dig into the edit history, that's edited out for a reason

also inb4 I do reverse thingy and cause you to view it while you weren't going to

welp

the bribery turned into a rant

satibel

@Avery that's tempting me to dig into the history.

Avery

08:49

it's inside jokes. All I'll say about it is "that's just a joke we aren't doing that"

satibel

after digging in the history well, you do what you want, but a picture for a picture seems fair :p (and you didn't specify from whom it was.)

Burgi

ffs

minions...

my minion nearly broke down in tears in our morning scrum

satibel

why?

satibel

09:10

@Avery badly made rainbow heart (thanks mspaint)

Avery

@satibel i don't like it, doesn't have the trademarked aveface

Burgi

@satibel he's feeling depressed and unsure of what he wants to do with his life

satibel

@Burgi aw :( well, that's hard to answer.

Burgi

agreed

i think its home sickness

satibel

@Avery better?

Burgi

09:23

LOL

Avery

@satibel files dmca strike

Burgi

thats brilliant

satibel

@Avery naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

ps: damn jpeg made me take 10 min for a 1 min thing.

Avery

09:40

I have my profile picture available in lossless formats

In 5000x5000 or smth

satibel

@Avery too lazy to search for that

Avery

you could ask

keybase.pub/ardao/avatars for future reference

doppelgreener

please provide this silly face in silly levels of losslessness, gracious avery

Burgi

you could make your own

i think it was very kind of @satibel to take time out of his busy schedule of being aloof to make you a pride avatar

satibel

the full size is actually something like 1700x1700, because it's mostly background.

Rahul2001

09:45

Uh, is port mapping the same as port forwarding?

Avery

Tave.png is cropped

satibel

Port forwarding

In computer networking, port forwarding or port mapping is an application of network address translation (NAT) that redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination to another while the packets are traversing a network gateway, such as a router or firewall. This technique is most commonly used to make services on a host residing on a protected or masqueraded (internal) network available to hosts on the opposite side of the gateway (external network), by remapping the destination IP address and port number of the communication to an internal host. == Purpose == Port...

seems so @Rahul2001

Rahul2001

@satibel This router is killing me

Burgi

@Rahul2001 did you ever sort out that calculator thing

Rahul2001

@Burgi nah

Burgi

09:47

what happened? did you get paid?

Rahul2001

@Burgi no

Burgi

you should have contested it with the site

Rahul2001

@Burgi I'll sort it out later

satibel

@Burgi I am very busy not working :p

Bob

@Burgi you have a new minion?

@Burgi maybe you should stop kidnapping them

doppelgreener

10 packets of something being reutrned that is 12mm overlay

satibel

@Rahul2001 eh, I have one, so I'll use that.

Burgi

@djsmiley2k but is that 40 packs of 10 or just 4 packs?

djsmiley2k

40x10

Would be my understanding

you ordering stuff online?

We got 2 cans of flea stuff some how, after ordering only one shrug

Oliver Salzburg

So I'm talking to Microsoft support today about my O365 woes. We're at the point where we're trying to troubleshoot using PowerShell. I'm supposed to log into O365 through PS and I can already smell that we're not taking MFA into account. But the tech refuses to hear me on that subject

So I pull up this article‌, which says:

> If you want to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to connect to Exchange Online PowerShell, you can't use the instructions at Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell to use remote PowerShell to connect to Exchange Online. MFA requires you to install the Exchange Online Remote PowerShell Module, and use the Connect-EXOPSSession cmdlet to connect.

Guess what "the instructions at Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell" are?!

The exact same lines the tech sent me, of course

I'm assuming that nothing works because I use MFA

Which has already caused trouble in the past. Then I was told to use the "application password" for those purposes

The "application password" is a single password you get when you set up MFA. There is only one

Which bears the question, why would I set up MFA when the result is that I have to use the same fixed password everywhere?

For doing something like this ^ in excel, and I just enter [5,6,7,8,9,10] and [2,1,4,5,6] and it calculates the pairwise product, how to do that ?

Why Excel?

also, this isn't really the right place to ask questions

Because it's the only software that can do something like that which I have.

Q: If I had a question with Excel, which site would I use?

I wanted to understand how to use Excel better, and I had some question regarding it. Which exchange site is good for this?

Journeyman Geek

11:30

site not chat

Avery

@satibel sick vim skills bru asciinema.org/a/nvMXh4g6IOasoUGtSw43PFLiq

Alex K Chen

Well this is a minor issue isn't it ?

Journeyman Geek

Well, not really, and we do want to encourage people to use the site rather than popping into chat and asking. We end up doing this remarkably often

Alex K Chen

I asked two questoins on SO and got downvoted to hell :( That's why I use the chat before asking a question on main

Burgi

ask on Super User

Alex K Chen

11:34

Why the LaTeX doesn't works there ?

Journeyman Geek

cause we don't have it enabled

and its enabled per site on request, and we rarely need it I suppose

Alex K Chen

Would it cause any harm if enabled :P ?

satibel

@Avery yay! I also like the spacing correction around the commas.

Alex K Chen

Also, why your name is blue ?

Journeyman Geek

erm. Cause I am a moderator somewhere on stackexchange? ;p

satibel

11:35

'cause he's an important guy.

Journeyman Geek

In this case, on a little site called Super User

Alex K Chen

And my first quesetion ?

1 min ago, by Alex K Chen

Would it cause any harm if enabled :P ?

Journeyman Geek

er, tbh, no idea

Probably just that we might predate that, and there's never really been a proper request/need for it I suppose

Avery

@satibel I did it because I know that in 324828893457394 years someone will open it with JetBrains™ Arduinioni™ and it'll yell about those.

Oliver Salzburg

MS support tech continues to refuse to accept that the issue is related to MFA. Wants me to remove roles and re-assign them. Also, I should try the same commands (which will not work with MFA) with a different admin account

@JourneymanGeek I don't get your comment.

@AlexKChen basically privilege limits can vary with sites

Rahul2001

@AlexKChen SU is older than most of the SE network, has different rules and allowances

we probably have a higher reputation requirement than say, a beta site

@AlexKChen @AlexKChen the borders on the picture are weird (some thin, some fat)is it intentional?

Rahul2001

11:56

You know, I'm sick of the fact that you can never escape Google on the web. It's everywhere.
Stopped using Google search? Well, their ads on every damn page are still tracking you.
Blocked their ads? Well half the sites use fonts or other resources from gstatic.
Blocked that domain? Well most modern sites use JavaScript libraries hosted by them.
Oh, so you somehow managed to block that without breaking every website on the web? What about YouTube?
Stopped using that too? Well don't forget about embedded content such as maps which come from their services!

satibel

@Rahul2001 well, what's the problem with google?

Rahul2001

@satibel Tracking. I need my privacy

satibel

well, if you want to stop tracking, you need to stop a lot of websites.

not only google.

Rahul2001

Yeah

But they're easy to block

Google is frigging everywhere

doppelgreener

not to mention cross-device tracking via TV signals: arstechnica.co.uk/tech-policy/2015/11/…

satibel

12:03

have you stopped using a phone too?

doppelgreener

personally i use chrome + android + gmail + google login for multiple services. all hail our tracking overlords.

i do however use adblock plus and privacy badger, which is a pretty good anti-tracker tool from EFF

i used to use ghosterly and privacy badger does a better job & doesn't occasionally reset everything to the default "off" state between updates & doesn't sell my browsing data

Rahul2001

@doppelgreener I use both extensions

switched oo ublock origin from adblock plus a few days ago

satibel

@Rahul2001 youtube.com/watch?v=BcvxD7p4Suw

some dedicated guy can track a whole city with a minor investment, so stopping being tracked is really hard.

Journeyman Geek

I figure anyone who is tracking me will die of bordom first

Avery

12:20

@doppelgreener use ublock origin

@JourneymanGeek I have a VERY interesting life.

If I was being tracked I'd know it.

You wouldn't. I wouldn't be here.

I commited serious crimes towards our jetbrains overlords. I didn't make that one class private.

satibel

eh, most of my private stuff is actually private (e.g. offline; not on a pc).

doppelgreener

Does uBlock handle something like ABP's Acceptable Ads?

(I like that thing, so I'd consider it a point for uBlock.)

Journeyman Geek

@doppelgreener naw

They kinda feel that's selling out

doppelgreener

ok, gotcha

Journeyman Geek

hm. My dad is being dumb

So, the plug on the dryer we've had for the last 20 years has a rather obviously burnt fuse. YET IT RAN.

He insists it is safe

djsmiley2k

12:30

i don't get the arguement against 'nothing to hide'

doppelgreener

related to this ad/tracking talk: arstechnica.co.uk/business/2015/10/…

djsmiley2k

If someone is going to outlaw something that was previously legal, thjat's a problem with THAT system, not with the system that lets people know you did it in the first place

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k whoever insists someone else has nothing to hide should have no secrets

satibel

@Avery he, he I'm tracking you :p

Journeyman Geek

I have secrets. Just that they are boring secrets

djsmiley2k

12:31

@JourneymanGeek but that's generally not the arguement made

the arguement made is 'but you might do something which is 'normal' now, and in the future not be

well.... that's just dumb

Journeyman Geek

They are the sort of secrets that will usually result in at most a raised eyebrow and a shrug.

satibel

@JourneymanGeek wow.. you watch [NSFW stuff]... really interesting. YAWN

Journeyman Geek

@satibel alas, that would be halfway interesting

Burgi

@djsmiley2k did you see dr who?

satibel

@djsmiley2k the problem is with stuff that's skirting the law.

Journeyman Geek

12:37

@Burgi I should have put it off. That ending...

Now I need to wait a week to see how it ends ._.

doppelgreener

I have put off Doctor Who as well

Burgi

it was a bit dull tbh

doppelgreener

until Moffat isn't director 🚒

Journeyman Geek

@doppelgreener I hate cliffhangers

Burgi

it wasn't that much of a cliffhanger

Journeyman Geek

12:40

It was a bit of a cliffhanger

Its obvious they will undo it (right?) even then...

Burgi

i liked the idea of the episode but it was too slow to get anywhere

djsmiley2k

@satibel @satibel no, the problem is people think that laws just happen and so anything can just become illegal

Rahul2001

I just set up my first server!

if that was slow I'd be worried

Rahul2001

I'm so happy right now

Port forwarding on this router is such a mess

Burgi

the ending reveal was a little wasted

satibel

12:45

@djsmiley2k now imagine being gay or mexican or whatever (see: trump) becomes illegal, now those people can be easily prosecuted for stuff that used to be legal.

djsmiley2k

@satibel yes, now is the problem the privacy, or the fact someone like trump can get elected and make up these bullcrap laws?

hi people

satibel

hi random citizen.

Rahul2001

12:51

@jokerdino HELLO!

satibel

@djsmiley2k though, imo the problem is with the privacy of the government. We should have access to all the data about it.

Rahul2001

And... my IP address changed

I need to get a static one

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 or dynamic dns?

and something to set it?

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek more expensive

static IP is USD 1.5/month

Bob

@Rahul2001 Heh. My offer to host for you is still open :P

Journeyman Geek

13:01

@Rahul2001 eh, there's usually free dynamic dns providers? Least before I could afford hosting

Avery

so is mine

djsmiley2k

@Rahul2001 dynnamic dns is free...

Rahul2001

@Bob @Avery I'm just playing around and having fun right now ;p

Bob

@Rahul2001 that's like 90% of what I do with these servers :P

Rahul2001

Physical access is cool ;p

How do I go about adding a domain to this though?

Journeyman Geek

13:04

@Rahul2001 you'd point a dns at it, presumably either to a DNS or some odd fancy stuff with a proxy.

satibel

@Rahul2001 you can get a second level for 1€/year.

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek Hm. Got any links I can make use of?

satibel

your local ip?

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 errrr I used to use no-ip

I donno if its still a thing

satibel

@JourneymanGeek noip.com

Journeyman Geek

13:07

cause it looks like I've owned my own domains for ... 7 years? WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

satibel

most home routers support dyndns and a few others (no ip, dt dns etc...)

Journeyman Geek

s/most/many

that seems to be a newer thing

satibel

@JourneymanGeek all routers I've tinkered with had this option.

Avery

problem is that MOST ISPs have firewalls that prevent outside access.

Journeyman Geek

that dosen't mean all routers are

@Avery or could use CGN

or random port blocks

Avery

13:10

cgn?

Journeyman Geek

carrier grade nat

Avery

ah

cgn is hell.

or rather, IP bans are hell

both are hell.

Why aren't we all on ipv6 again?

Journeyman Geek

lol

satibel

@Avery because it's comming soon™ (since 1995)

Journeyman Geek

I am on the one ISP that supports ipv6 here.....

and they suck otheriwise

tho if I switched to MR, I'd go static IP and Hurricane electric

(MR - another local ISP, does gigabit and static IPs cheap)

Avery

13:18

I have a /48 block of ipv6s myself

That's 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 addresses.

@satibel WHY DO I NOT?

tbh, I'd like somethign I can also move around, and/or shove my music player on, or just throw on my linux box for minor things or...

Journeyman Geek

14:16

There's so much I can do with a low res third screen

Avery

just go to nearly goodwills and check if they have any screens

Journeyman Geek

lol

nearest place of that sort is a salvation army

also what I got is 640x480 (eww) 7" (yay!) and HDMI/VGA capable

for about 50 quid

satibel

@Avery here we have emmaüs, 17-19" screens are like 5€.

Journeyman Geek

I don't have space for anything bigger

Avery

nice.

Journeyman Geek

14:24

and well, its general screens

I mean, sure I have a pair of 27ish inch 4k screens

Avery

you will regret it

satibel

I have a crappy 4.3" rca screen for my truck, I've put an orange pi zero and a back camera on it.

Journeyman Geek

lol

maybe

but I'll also likely find uses for it

@Burgi How do I get the last PHP error code into a variable?

XKCD

I was banned from the airliners.net photography forum by concerned moderators after the end of my lens started brushing against planes as they flew by.

Burgi

@Rahul2001 are you using try/catch?

Rahul2001

@Burgi nope. I just want to see at the end of the file if there were any errors

The equivalent to if errorlevel 0 ( echo no errors) in batch

Ben N

error_get_last looks promising

Burgi

if there is a fatal error the php just stops and chucks a line in the error log

If it's non-fatal, use a try catch and use the exception
