New power bank is about halfway charged now, on a Qualcomm Quick Charge charger, outputting just under 9V and 1.9A.

(funnily enough, the charger I'm using is rated for 1.6A at 9V but is pumping 1.9A; it's running a bit hot but not dangerously so.)

Let's see what the power meter reads when it's fully charged, in a few hours' time. (RAVPower claims it takes 5.5 hours to fully charge on an 18W QC charger.)

@MichaelFrank Its probably a 200 dollar chinese phone with custom firmware.

I don't think I'm a fan. Might be handy for folks less computer savvy, but I can see it being a pain

Not getting drive by'd cause someone didn't put their download server behind https seems nice.

As long as its an option ._.

I'm ok with warnings, but noping me from a download can occationally be a pain

Found a script that automatically redeems Golden Key SHiFT codes for Borderlands 2.

Except they seem to only let you redeem 2 or 3 codes per hour.

sweet

Yea, it's really cool. Originally I was trying to run it with python 2.7.5, but it was failing for reasons I couldn't comprehend. Turns out python 3.6 works fine.

Charging is starting to taper off after passing 70 Wh on the meter.

That's about right for a power bank rated at 72.4 Wh.

...and the final result is 76.9 Wh from the charger.

Boo

k now i'm sleepy :(

@allquixotic Blazor!

@Bob @alq @jou

hm

Patching should be pretty painless once they sorted it out

@JourneymanGeek can you see the messages I just sent on #rootaccess?

yup

@JourneymanGeek ah, only the websites are down

Ya.

You do realise other than, IIRC the identity server - we basically literally run 3 independent servers that just happen to talk to each other ;p

@JourneymanGeek yep, lol

I've forgotten the port the reference web interface runs on

derp

OH GOD MATRIX IS DOWN PANIC.

Someone point me at hte one i should use, or is that down too?

/me doesn't understand

Awesome, now outlook just crashed.

u wot?!

@rahuldottech this is how i remember contacting the pirate party of india for the very first time

Anyone seeing my matrix messages?

yes

Thanks :)

I'm not

because i'm not on there atm :(

Someone remind me how to get on there?

riot.im

github.com/RootAccessOrg/rootaccess-matrix/wiki

I forgot I made this github.com/RootAccessOrg/rootaccess-matrix/wiki/…

riot.im is down at the mo

Bob hosts a copy of riot at riot.vulpin.com

oh that's cool

I should do that just for funsies one day

hmmm what's the idenity server url @bertieb?

is that down too? XD

@djsmiley2k Yeah but unnecessary to log in

@rahuldottech Could be the Apache vuln

Though that's been known for a bit

But yea, the fact that they took down riot - which has no server-side code - points to a non-matrix issue.

@bertieb most of us use roota.cc

Hoster by @alq

@djsmiley2k vector.im

@bertieb well, I can't sign in so....

@allquixotic tbh, a starwall, editing messages and a proper transcript - and matrix would be perfect

@djsmiley2k make sure you set the server to https://roota.cc, and use your username, not email address

ah, yay, so I don't have to patch my server (again) today

just updated from 0.99.3rc1-py3 to 0.99.3-py3 for any post-rc bugfixes

I'm still on 0.99.2, I think. I should probably update.

Hold on a tick.

Err:3 matrix.org/packages/debian stretch InRelease

...oops

let's wait for matrix.org to come back up first :P

lol

@djsmiley2k I signed in using my server and the (down at the time) default IS

@rahuldottech G'wha? The client?

@bertieb homeserver

@bertieb Identity server is not used unless you use email address or phone number.

Username goes straight to the homeserver.

@Bob Yea

Rebuilding?! o_O

Sounds like someone got in and maybe inserted malicious scripts?

@rahuldottech I meant the client :)

(the hosted Riot.im one)

@bertieb roota.cc is the homeserver

We all use the riot.im client

@rahuldottech roota.cc is a homeserver.

@rahuldottech Yes...?

Bertie uses his own homeserver.

So do I.

I also use my own Riot client.

I'm so confused I don't even know what we're talking about

@rahuldottech I'd have thought Bob uses his own Riot client :P

@Bob wait what

I use my own instance now too

As it was a simple dockerfile away

Client as in app/UI, right?

@Bob Aha, I forgot I said that here

I'm going to get back to this conversation after I get some sleep

Goodnight y'all

What we need is Google Wave to make a resurgence a unified chat

The original name of the chatroom was #ra:roota.cc but I could easily give it an alternative name of #ra:matrix.vulpin.com or #foo:matrix.vulpin.com and they'd be equally valid names.

'night o/

Names just point to the chatroom (which has its own unique ID).

@rahuldottech Matrix clients, like Riot, talk to Matrix servers, like Synapse.

Synapse is the most common homeserver. roota.cc:443 points to a copy of Synapse.

Riot is the most common client.

Homeservers talk to each other. Clients talk to their own homeserver.

^ That's federation in a nutshell.

No federation for me then, I'm allergic to nuts D:

Oh hey look a tumbleweed

WPA3 borked already?

Gives session key when asked in a stern voice?

So... How much do you wanna bet that if I click that, it's going to brick riot for me?

Yep, did it

Mobile app still works for me, huh

So y'know how all major browsers disabled autoplaying audio?

That's good n' all, but now I can't troll people with this anymore: h4cker.pw

I mean, I still can, but now they have to click/tap on the image for the keygen music to play

Which is not nearly as cool as it used to be

@djsmiley2k But... But...

I HAVE WORK GOSSIP TO GOSSIP!

Where am I supposed to gossip about some stuff I might or mightn't have done?

"emergency security mantainance" - probably a zero-day or other such vulnerability was found, posing a immediate threat to user data...

@ThatBrazilianGuy :D

indeed

right, i'm at home, i have access to my passwords

where do I need to login?

@djsmiley2k Login here: totallynotphishing4realz.tk - please ignore all the security warnings

hmmm

ok i don't even have my password in my password manager, wtf?

@ThatBrazilianGuy The SRE Discord

@CanadianLuke SRE?

Site Reliability Engineers. It's quite a large Discord channel. Want an invite?

discord.gg/FEES8Fw

@bertieb what's my username on riot? :D

i presume djsmiley2k

> Your account on matrix.vulpin.com

my account wasn't on vulpin tho

Thing is, how did I ever log in, if my password isn't saved anywhere o_O

mobile.twitter.com/matrixdotorg/status/1116388572922302466

@rahuldottech Click to enter> autoplays

@MichaelFrank yeah, I've been wondering about that, but it still takes away from the surprise element of the site, kinda

riot.im right now: -----^

Riot App is throwing me network errors.

Not sure if related to that ^ or because I'm still using the matrix homeserver as my logon server.

Now I have a permanent Synchronising... notification on my phone. :|

Looks like someone attempted a supply-chain attack against Matrix.

User data most likely not compromised.

When a printer sends out a WiFi signal, if I was to connect to it , as i'd connect to a normal WiFi network then I can , in the sense that it says connected, but i'd lose internet access. So how am I meant to connect to it? What connects to the printer's WiFi?

also am I meant to install the printer's driver on every computer on the network?

Can't print without a driver, so yes?

@MichaelFrank actually

Universal print drivers (preinstalled) work amazingly well on Windows

Yes, but that's still a driver. ;)

@barlop if it's a wireless printer, it can connect to an existing network

The network-of-its-own in different

@MichaelFrank yeah, but no need to be installed

Lmao so @barlop ignored me (I think) so idk if he can even see these messages

If there's WiFi printing involved, I'd probably be inclined to make sure the computers have the appropriate vendor drivers to make it work (better)

@barlop ping

If that's the case, this conversation is going to look pretty amusing.

@MichaelFrank ^ this, if you need the advanced features. I rarely do, so I don't have the driver installed on most PCs of mine

@MichaelFrank yeah lol

thanks

lololol

Cool so I think he's a jerk and I'm blocking him back
