> It's just you. matrix.bertieb.org is up.

I thought so

GLARES IN NETWORKING

o/ for now

Bob

@bertieb 8448 is the unencrypted port, iirc. general recommendation is to front it with a reverse proxy

@rahuldottech it's as fair as I can be when you claim what I said is "too complicated" but refuse to elaborate on how or why.

rahuldottech

@Bob Ugh, I will, once I know if it's even feasible

Bob

see: "secret hacky shit"

rahuldottech

Ugh.

Riot. In a bit. Gotta get home first.

Bob

s/shit/stuff/ if you want to be less colloquial.

granted, most selenium scripts are hacky crap themselves, but they're fairly stable as long as the environment doesn't change

rahuldottech

13:07

@Bob riot. now.

djsmiley2k

pretty sure there's a jquery way to do it xD

but appently this link I found will work anyway in a iframe, so <shrug> ?

rahuldottech

...

djsmiley2k

holy crap it works :O

Sorry @rahuldottech I've figured it out using iframes :D

Thanks for the assist tho @rahuldottech and @Bob

rahuldottech

... ...

... ... ...

Well, have fun, @djsmiley2k

djsmiley2k

What is weird, is it didn't work until I changed the title text XD

djsmiley2k

13:23

hmmm that's weird

the graph comes out really small >_<

Bob

wait, why are you putting it in an iframe if you want to screenshot it?

djsmiley2k

13:38

Why will my <hr> not centre D:

> hr {align:center;width:80%}

Burgi

you can't centre HRs in css

you have to use the attribute

Bob

@djsmiley2k ...it's centered by default, no?

djsmiley2k

13:58

it is, yeah

soooooooooooo

something is streching this webpage to be 1024px wide

not sure what tho :/

Bob

devtools are your friend

Burgi

Google Walkouts

i like how in the pictures, london, dublin and zurich everyone is outside but the singaporean office they appear to be still inside the building

Horn OK Please

@Bob the devtools protocol is also your friend :)

my iPhone 7 Plus and Note 8 are both getting more and more bids as it comes down to the wire :D 4 hours left on each. Go, go, go!

Bob

@HornOKPlease lol, how much is the note 8?

Horn OK Please

14:34

@Bob currently $340

Bob

@HornOKPlease ooft

Horn OK Please

64 GB midnight black model that's been tested and works on CDMA and GSM

Bob

I'm actually really tempted by the note 9

first dual-sim australian model of a samsung flagship

Burgi

@HornOKPlease how much was it new?

Horn OK Please

@Burgi I bought it in May, Certified Refurb from Amazon for like $600

figure I got some value out of it as I used it for a few weeks and occasionally used it for Android testing

I'll be without an Android phone once it goes; oh well

only needed one once in a blue moon

plus there's always BlueStacks

Burgi

14:36

its an expensive phone just for a testing platform

Horn OK Please

well I'm in love with the S Pen, but I'm also in love with the Apple Watch

me and my Apple Watch Series 4 are inseparable. My family has a history of atrial fibrillation (heart condition) and the watch will let you know if it detects you have it

FDA certified medical device

Burgi

we just use browserstack for our mobile testing

Horn OK Please

that's not the kind of testing I mean

Bob

@Burgi browserstack is so laggy

*cries in australian internet*

5

Horn OK Please

like installing apps and such

rahuldottech

14:39

@HornOKPlease Bluestacks is actually surprisingly great

Burgi

@Bob that surprises me as their main data centre is over in your neck of the woods

Bob

@Burgi really? it feels like ~US round-trip latencies

could also be because our ISP has terrible routing

it routes me through the US west coast if I want to hit my own OVH (Sydney) server

Burgi

they are based in singapore iirc

Bob

@Burgi ah, that doesn't count :P

AU to SG latency is only slightly less terrible than AU to EU latency

and around AU to US latency

Burgi

browserstack.com/question/633

> The servers are spread across 11 locations in the United States, Brazil, Ireland, The Netherlands, Singapore and Australia. You are automatically directed to the nearest location based on your IP.

Bob

14:47

@Burgi Huh. They have AU servers?

Burgi

apparently so

Bob

Hm. Could be the US routing.

Q: I fancy myself an amateur lawyer. Can I represent someone in court?

I live in Montgomery County Maryland. I am not a lawyer. But I have significant legal experience. I have successfully sued people, watched many trials, I have successfully won dozens of trials for my own traffic violations. And I'm a former state legislator. So I have read and argued about lots ...

> And I'm a former state legislator.

Not sure if real.

> Ali is employed as a Senior Software Engineer

O_O could very well be real

@HornOKPlease ^ :P

Horn OK Please

Saqib Ali

Saqib Ali (born January 21, 1975) is a former State Delegate in the Maryland House of Delegates, having been elected in 2006 to represent the 39th District. Ali is an American of Indian and Pakistani descent. == Background == Saqib Ali was born on 21 January 1975 in Chicago, Illinois. He is Muslim and credits his parents, who are of Indian and Pakistani descent, as the reason he became involved in politics. "[I am] from a family where they were always having political debates around the house, but then I found out that among all these family members who had all these grand ideas, none of them ever...

Bob

@HornOKPlease Yea I got the software engineer bit from wiki

Just thought you might find that one interesting for reasons :P

Horn OK Please

I'd never heard of him. He's at the lowest level of legislature. There's -
US Senate - "upper level" of bicameral national legislature
US House of Representatives - "lower level" of bicameral national legislature (reps are more locally focused than Senators)
Maryland Senate - "upper level" of state bicameral legislature
Maryland House of Delegates - "lower level" of state bicameral legislature with extremely locally-focused reps

And I don't live in Montgomery County, so he never appeared on a ballot for me

Burgi

15:01

> Indian and Pakistani

Bob

@HornOKPlease Yea, this just stuck out to me:

> He is the only engineer (though he does not have a degree in engineering) among the 188 legislators in the Maryland General Assembly.

Burgi

unusual mix given the traditionally frosty relations between those countries

@Bob he probably wrote his own wiki page

Bob

@Burgi Possible.

Though I think that could be right.

STEM politicians seem rare :P

djsmiley2k

Anyonere here an expert on AIX AS/400 ?

:D

If we do a transfer between two AIX boxes over the 100Mbit wan, it's slow as molasses

but either server, to any other server on the opposite end, is fine.

Bob

15:20

@djsmiley2k I think @HornOKPlease might be the only one here who's got experience with IBM mainframes :P

djsmiley2k

Really weird problem. Not sure wtf to think. Everything I find online points to there being a Duplex problem

But, the 'experts' who run the boxes assure me there isn't...

Something that concerns me is when I disconnected the cable 'known' to be one of the boxes last week..... it didn't go down

Burgi

15:45

i used an AS/400 once about 20 years ago while on work placement

Ramhound

Anyone notice the upload image functionality is flat out broken now?

It only allows you to drag and drop a file, you can no longer provide a link to an image, nor can you select a file.

Burgi

works for me

have you got an overzealous adblocker installed?

Ramhound

no

The style change

Its like they changed something

Burgi

here or on the mainsite?

Ramhound

main site

They seem to have pushed an update to SU at the very least.

Burgi

15:54

it works for me on SU

Ramhound

Do you get the old or new style?

Burgi

have you tried clicking the drag and drop zone?

Ramhound

It makes me select a file, instead of, providing a link

Burgi

Ramhound

when I tried clicking on the drag and drop zone, i select a file, and nothing happens

Burgi

15:56

paste the URL into the file selector dialog

Ramhound

There is no input

the "click here" is the file upload

Burgi

yeah, i pasted the URL into that box

rahuldottech

@Ramhound ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ramhound

I click on the image, I see the drag and drop zone

I click on it, i get a file selection

There is no way to paste anything into it

Burgi

Ramhound

16:00

Why in the world would they change it...

Any event the file selection still doesn't add the image to the post

only drag and drop

Burgi

i clicked it, the dialog pops up, i paste the url into the file open box and hit open

it uploads it to imgur perfectly

Ramhound

Does not work for me

Burgi

just uploaded that using the technique i described

djsmiley2k

Drop it where?

@Burgi oh, wait ok

Burgi

thats the old uploader

djsmiley2k

16:09

How do I get the new one D:

rahuldottech

@Burgi that's the chat uploader

It hasn't changed

noitsbecky

@rahuldottech If all you're after is a super powerful router, stick pfsense or Openwrt onto one of your old laptops.

djsmiley2k

I swear at one point in the past, the chat upload was the same

you could just paste into it.

rahuldottech

@noitsbecky No, what I'm after is a tiny IoT board

Burgi

@djsmiley2k @Ramhound was talking about the main site

rahuldottech

16:10

Man, I hate my life

I need a hug

Burgi

go hug one of your many girlfriends

rahuldottech

@Burgi I have none at the moment

I also need to be happy

Get me some Ecstasy

Burgi

you've changed

rahuldottech

@Burgi Yeah, crappy studies and school will do that to you

How so, though?

Bob

@Burgi that uses windows explorer (embedded ie) to download the image to a local temp folder

noitsbecky

16:13

@djsmiley2k I don't recall that ever existing on chat

Bob

not really the same as load from url

rahuldottech

@Bob whoa, that's so cool

Burgi

@Bob gets the job done though

noitsbecky

@rahuldottech hackster.io/measley2/… Tinier than that?

djsmiley2k

@noitsbecky i can't of imagined it surely D:

rahuldottech

16:15

@noitsbecky doesn't have and internet stuff, or linux... So I guess it's just oT (other Things) :P

noitsbecky

What's wrong with a Raspberry Pi exactly?

I guess if a RPi is too big you could always get one of these

rahuldottech

@noitsbecky Too mainstream for me. I live for weird hacks. It's my drug. Why the hell do you think I make all the crazy shit that's on my github?

See rahul.red and github.com/rahuldottech

noitsbecky

@rahuldottech Github's too mainstream for me, so I don't look at stuff that's on it. Oh well, good luck.

rahuldottech

@noitsbecky I see what you did there -_-

Bob

@Burgi kinda. if you have shite upload it can easily take 100-1000x longer

speaking from experience :P

rahuldottech

16:19

Seriously though. It makes me so happy when I figure out a weird hack around some weird crap to do some weird crap and it's so much fun I love this crap

@Burgi how have i changed tho

noitsbecky

@Bob They have servers in AU?

rahuldottech

@noitsbecky Yep. You don't even need to tip them! Unlike the US, they get paid proper wages!

Michael Frank

@Ramhound I see what you mean about the image upload process no longer accepting an existing image URL.

However, you can still link to an image on the internet by pasting the URL into the File Open dialog you get when clicking in the new drag and drop area.

djsmiley2k

twitch.tv/djsmiley2k

Ramhound

19:55

@MichaelFrank - I tried that. The dialog didn't accept it.

Michael Frank

@Ramhound It's not a weird link with *.jpg?stuffhere is it?

Ramhound

no

Michael Frank

Are you on Windows?

Ramhound

I copied and pasted a SE imgr link

Yes

* an existing

Michael Frank

Like this, right?

Ramhound

19:59

Yes; I hit Open and nothing happens

Michael Frank

What version of Windows?

Ramhound

Windows 10

Chromium 61

I am about to boycott Amazon

I am still waiting for my i9 9900k

Michael Frank

Interestingly, when I tried to upload with Chrome on Windows 7, I got a Certificate popup... But then it worked.

So... I dunno what's going on with your computer. shrug

Ramhound

A certificate popup?

I do have popups blocked that might be it

But I never had a problem before the change, with any SE certificate, popup would indicate they broke the certificate.

noitsbecky

Mmm. Much Samsung. Wow.

Ramhound

20:05

Child's Play I got the 1 TB

Michael Frank

@Ramhound I think it was only relevant to our internal network here at work.

bwDraco

@noitsbecky Congratulations! I have a 1 TB 960 PRO on Astaroth.

Will be mirroring/cloning my existing NVMe SSD over to it later... might be the fastest disk cloning/mirroring I've ever done.

Going from a 2.5GB/sec read (before it throttles anyway) to a 2.5GB/sec write NVMe SSD, and I'll have the cover off so it might actually get all the way through before it throttles.

2 minutes to go through a whole drive, that's like back in the 1990's before drives got so big it took hours to read/write the whole thing :-D

bwDraco

21:21

Tell me about. This SSD is fast enough to saturate PCIe 3.0 x4.

noitsbecky

22:27

Hmm did the world economy fix itself while I was sleeping in a cave?

Everything seems to be trading in the green today

Even utterly shitty stocks that are down 98% on the year are up today

Did Trump say something smart? :-o

djsmiley2k

brexit got canceled?

noitsbecky

@djsmiley2k That would make this the happiest day of my life

djsmiley2k

lol

noitsbecky

Brexit getting cancelled and getting my first Samsung NVMe SSD

#Priorities

djsmiley2k

i just .... want some codine or something

noitsbecky

22:37

@djsmiley2k I... have a box of that somewhere

djsmiley2k

can ytou insert it in my gum?

cuirrently a big hole with bone at the bottom >_<

noitsbecky

@djsmiley2k Codeine doesn't work as a topical anaesthetic

In order for it to work it has to be ingested and converted into morphine in your liver (or brain, can't recall exactly).

On it's own it does, well, next to nothing. Especially on the gums.

djsmiley2k

and via the hole in my gum is a quick route to both :D

noitsbecky

If you want something you can rub directly onto the pain(ful area) Benzydamine is a topical anaesthetic recommended for oral pain, basically you use it as a mouthwash and it numbs anything it comes into contact with.

Ketamine, incidentally, also works as a "rub it in" painkiller as well as a "swallow it" painkiller.

That said didn't your dentist give you something after making said hole in your gum?

It should really be his/her job to supply you with appropriate painkillers after making holes in your mouth

Burgi

huh

the whatsapp web thing tells you when your phone is low on juice

noitsbecky

22:49

I've got boxes of pretty much all that stuff (obtained legally of course, after having holes put in my mouth by a qualified medical practitioner)

@Burgi Yup.

Because it uses a lame hack (remotely connecting to your phone) to let you access it via the web

Burgi

@djsmiley2k sadly not. although pretty much everyone involved in the leave campaigns was corrupt and ignored election rules

noitsbecky

s/leave/trump/ and you've basically got a mirror image of us across the pond!

djsmiley2k

23:11

Fack me it's cold tonight

Just said paracetamol and ibuprofen

Tho reading up, it should be closed by now ..

So this has gone well

I do have ambisol. Which is baby's teeth stuff. 95% alcohol and a few other things in there. That does work too

@Burgi and they wonder why the youth of today is turned off by politics?

Burgi

23:37

i'm going to go to bed early i think
