@voretaq7 No.

@Wesley Aw yeah. Now that's the proper way to bathe a cat.

@MikeyB I wish I had two of them. One for me and one to rent out

gah

this annoying travel agent implied I was trying to book travel under a fake name and asked for a copy of my passport >.>

@FalconMomot I recently found out credit cards can be issued to random strings, so I finally have credit cards with the name I use on them instead of the name I was born with

@FalconMomot Implied?

@RyJones Not only that, but the name field is unauthenticated by the CVV code on the stripe, so you can re-encode it to whatever you like and the card will still swipe. The slips it prints will have that name on them.

@RyJones So your credit cards say "Fruit Fucker 2000" on them?

@ScottPack yes, he asked several pointed questions about it

@FalconMomot oh excellent, I used to have access to a card writer.

@RyJones I have one on my desk.

@FalconMomot Based on some of the garbage my wife shows me from her client's yearbooks your name is somewhat normal.

@ScottPack I considered getting one issued in the name of Batman, but decided against it

login to a cisco device that I haven't been in for years. Enable password I have on file doesn't work. Try some others (we're not too creative with passwords to devices that can't be accessed from outside the management vLAN) - none work.... Spend 20 minutes looking for what the password could be... Accidentally hit enter twice, password is blank. FML.

@ScottPack Where the hell did she go to school?

@ChrisS ahahaha

fail

@FalconMomot I've been meaning to acquire one. Distributor in .ca?

@ChrisS Yeah, I did the same when I was telnetting into my wife's hearing aids.

@FalconMomot useful

@ScottPack his neck looks weird

@FalconMomot Oh, no, she's a sales rep for a yearbook company. She even constructs the books for many of the schools. So she gets to see many thousands of names that current students have.

@ChrisS I STAR YOUR SHAME

@MikeyB What the shit?

@FalconMomot Like this one kid name Sh'thead.

@voretaq7 THANKS

I just ordered a FIPS 201 card holder, I can't get my employer to give one up

@ChrisS OBAMA

@ScottPack Le-a story goes here

they use these cheesy vinyl ones

@ScottPack Real kid's name at the last facility she worked at. No apostrophe though, pronounced it "Shi-thead"

@RyJones Wow, what kinda lamers are they? =P

@MikeyB Oh, I just ebay them. It's not like they're prohibited or anything. I'm quite partial to my MSR605.

@Wesley very lame

@ScottPack Yikes. See, I like my weird name.

Ordered one of these: amazon.com/SkimSAFE-Blocking-2-Card-ID-Holder/dp/B005CXZTO2/…

@ChrisS It's amazing. This kid was pronounced "Shu-Thee-Had"

I should buy a couple more and put my other IDs in them. I have my old Microsoft badge and my HSPD-12 from psc.gov

@ScottPack "Yeah, I'm just gonna call ya shithead."

@FalconMomot Yeah, your name is pretty close to classical for kids these days.

zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/… hohoho

apparent dns attack

@RyJones "These Things Happen"

@voretaq7 My favorite movie, sir.

@RyJones albinoblacksheep.com/flash/weeee (warning: annoying sound, no volume/mute control, no pause button)

demented cartoon movie. go

@FalconMomot Cool. I have a PS/2 reader sitting around here… but read-only is boring.

@ChrisS awwwww, Gonads & Strife

@RyJones I love those "shocking new rule" ads

that cartoon is underappreciated, having been dwarfed by The Llama Song and Badger Badger Badger

@voretaq7 Brings back memories, no?

@ChrisS especially since I know some of the people involved

@voretaq7 LLAMA LLAMA DUCK!

@ChrisS very nice

@RyJones Cannot reproduce

@MichaelHampton "It's for the best"

@MichaelHampton works from my home proxy, doesn't from work

All I see is the usual conservative stuff.

Actually, I think Fox News might have been hacked after all...

@MichaelHampton HAAAAX!

@RyJones 'I forgot how to legs'

@MichaelHampton theverge.com/2013/11/5/5069842/fox-news-website-defaced

@Tanner such a small hallway, too

heh heh reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1pwzc1/…

@Wesley gist.github.com/Supermathie/28e3c1496b525006ee82

@MikeyB The PS/2 readers are annoying too because they consume a ton of power from the port, so they often don't work with USB PS/2 adaptors.

@FalconMomot Mine works… if a keyboard is plugged into the reader.

hah

"Dude, just say you were hacked. It makes you look less incompetent."

@voretaq7 eh, we used to have issues at MSNBC, shit happens when you roll a home-grown CMS

@RyJones zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/… <-- When THAT happens, you claim hax.

otherwise you're like the news organization that got Korean Air pilots' names from the NTSB intern.

@voretaq7 sure, OK

(which for Faux News may be a step up - idunno)

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2487485/… This would be great in the back yard

@RyJones Can I use it as a projector?

@voretaq7 don't see why not

@voretaq7 The aliens don't need to see your lizard porn.

@84104 I want to use it to project the Amanda Palmer Daily Mail song on the side of the Daily Mail's HQ

because yanno.... irony

@MikeyB WHAT AM I LOOKING AT

sigh

I need a belly rub.

Farking support calls.

@NathanC EAR SCRITCHES! NAO!!

blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblog/2013/11/05/… this might do for belly rubs

@Wesley mew?

scratches

@DennisKaarsemaker mew

hey puss

@DennisKaarsemaker catception

@DennisKaarsemaker as-advertised

@voretaq7 more useless-use-of-cat

eh, I have some CAT boots, the quality is OK

@RyJones So it's not purrfect?

@NathanC indeed, they aren't

@RyJones cat boobs? wha?

catfootwear.com/US/en

@MikeyB resource leak?

@RyJones Don't buy CAT boots. They're made by Wolverine but had to cut back on the materials to pay CAT their royalties and still make a profit. Buy "normal" Wolverine boots if you want the same cut with superior materials.

@ChrisS Wait... Wolverine makes boots? You'd think Hugh make enough money on the movies...

@voretaq7 It's a problem related to inotify and dnotify. Seems to be a resource leak in the kernel. The problem persists if you kill the application and restart it. The problem goes away if you unmount the filesystem.

Oh boy.

@voretaq7 wolverineworldwide.com/our-brands

@ChrisS I LIKE MY VERSION BETTER!

So this has been running for… 5 hours now. Normal?

@MikeyB hrm

@MikeyB Not really

Longest sync I ever had was 3 hours, which was the first sync over a shitty connection with a lot of products selected

@MarkHenderson I haven't even selected any products yet.

Oooohhhhh this is that sync

No not normal

classy.

@Tanner subtle :D

@Tanner I LOLed

@Tanner Bonus.

@MikeyB Gotta love how Microsoft has eliminated actual progress bars as well as any indication of what's actually happening behind the scenes.

@MikeyB It stands in stark contrast with the "other" server operating system.

@Skyhawk I thought that was pretty normal.

@MichaelHampton It gets worse and worse with every release.

@MichaelHampton More whitespace, less content, fewer details. The least they could do is replace the whitespace with a full-screen image of Ballmer's giant butto... wait, no, that wouldn't be professional.

@Skyhawk DEVELOPERS!

@pauska Wow. They really captured his spirit, didn't they?

@Skyhawk ...."spirit" meaning "excessive perspiration"?

gah I can't type :(

deodorant deodorant deodorant deodorant deodorant

@pauska If I were Paul Allen, I would have sold my stock and bought airplanes, too.

@ChrisS I won't rebuy them. I bought some MMA shoes and I like them.

@freiheit I'd prefer the latter. And something that I can click on to view verbose log information, e.g. if it freezes and I want to know where it froze.

@Skyhawk What color would you like the pony that comes with that to be?

@freiheit Dunno, but it'd better smell like Microsoft spirit.

@Skyhawk That can be arranged. I assume that Microsoft spirit and horse shit are basically the same scent...

@freiheit no, Microsoft Spirit is more of a flop sweat

@RyJones I thought this was Microsoft spirit:

or perhaps closer to this:

nice

Blue screens are really projectile vomiting

Gross

@MarkHenderson you've never seen The Exorcist?

or this is your first time seeing Ballmer sweat through a stage

@voretaq7 Long time ago

But they're pretty feral thumbnails

I hate seeing vomit

That was a loooong interview...

@ewwhite did you make them cry?

@ewwhite did you dance for them?

No, I was just my charming self.

@ewwhite ...so they cried then.

or they held it in and are crying now

I'm not that bad!

@ewwhite BE. MEANER.

@ewwhite Did you win a client?

new client asks me to update an API key in their web app, existing key expires in 3 days. No problem. Previous developer abruptly quit yesterday. Hm. OK, no problem. API key is compiled into dll, and angry developer has the only copy of the source. OK, I found a problem.

@tylerl wow, time for hex edit!

@tylerl Is developer angry over non payment?

@Wesley that's a difficult bit of information to obtain.

@tylerl I guess you'll find out when they stop paying you. =P

@Wesley This is one-shot job.

@tylerl Paid in advance?

@Wesley just in case

small bills, please

@tylerl How'd they find you?

@RyJones estimated cost for completion just went from 1h to 5h.

@Wesley Same as everyone else; recommened by another company's tech support.

@tylerl build the cost of a bill wrapper into the bid

and probably more hours than that when you explain them that absolutely all code should be safely stored in a source control system..

@tylerl Yeahhh... everyone else. Maybe no one recommends me for a reason. I should probably stop eating their office plants and puking it back up on the furniture.

@Wesley but you're sooo cute!

I am!

I always think outside the box

The cat always occupies it

my cat avoids boxes

I think he's broken

huh

So, apparently some time ago, 'postfix' died on one of my dev moodle boxes. I kicked postfix. It appears to now be clearing its backlog of 20,000 emails.

Ooops.

@freiheit get to test out your monitoring software, eh?

@RyJones It's a dev box, for which sending emails is very much a secondary thing...

Translation: shit, I should really puppetize "make sure postfix is fucking running", because that shit being broken on a prod moodle box would actually be bad.

service{"postfix":

ensure => running

}

@DennisKaarsemaker Yeah, except our older servers are running exim instead of postfix.

service{"mta": name => ? { old => exim, new => postfix }, ensure => running}

or just puppetize a migration to all postfix :)

@DennisKaarsemaker I always enjoyed the fact that the postfix daemon calls itself "master".

@DennisKaarsemaker Can't. Our mailman server is on exim with some crazy exim shit going on.

@freiheit exim shit gets crazy real fast

I like it :)

@DennisKaarsemaker Exim: "Maybe we can out-sendmail sendmail"

I think exim was the last MTA I was running before I went to exchange

I also might want to fix that cronjob problem that's sending a couple messages every 5 minutes.

@tylerl nothing outsendmails sendmail

I kept using it for a spam filtering front end to exchange for a long time, though

@DennisKaarsemaker LDAP lookups! :)

I need to buy me a new copy of the exim book

@freiheit as configured in a bad approximation of lisp!

somebody stole mine

Adobe. I hate Adobe.

Why they make it so damn hard to push Reader across a fleet of computer... I don't know. I really don't know.

@kce blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/2010/06/16/… ?

@kce And Oracle. And SAP. And Parallels. Oh, and did I mention Microsoft. Boy, there's not a lot out there to like.
