ManishEarth

@terry which hat whoring q?

AviD

@kalina is there a hat for being reversed, or the target of a reversal?

Terry Chia

@ManishEarth This one. security.stackexchange.com/questions/47334/…

kalina

not that I know of, there might be?

Adnan

@AviD I've been thinking about @Thomas' take on the rep-whoring

The actions that merely result in gaining hats, I think they're alright.

He mentioned the thing about "permanent" damage. Rep-whoring questions and answers fall under that category

AviD

12:14

@Adnan but thats always true, not just for hats.

and, though we may not like them, they are valid (if almost borderline) questions that do bring in a lot of users.

Adnan

@AviD However, and I'm sure we all agree, the problem became considerably bigger with the introduction of hats.

AviD

in general, yes, but not for the craptrains.

@Adnan as @Thomas pointed out, as long as there is no REAL damage, it is probably not something to bother about, let it slide.

It's just a lark, all in good fun.

But thats the point - Thats exactly why I voted against hats.

TildalWave

spam alert ;)

AviD

everything becomes too playful.

on the other hand I dont want to get all stuffy like arkade and Server Fault.

TildalWave

@AviD feel like nuking? security.stackexchange.com/a/47397/20074

AviD

12:19

are you sure?

click that again.

TildalWave

LOL

I'm getting old

AviD

yknow when you get old, you don't change. You just get more so.

Adnan

@AviD Well, in that case, I have a plan for badge and rep farming once the Winter Bash is over. There want be any damage, no busy queues and no more work for the mods. Just all in good fun.

Oh, that's gonna be fun.

AviD

yeah, thats what I'm worried about.

Adnan

@AviD If it's okay now (and, clearly, it's okay), then it should be okay later.

AviD

12:21

at least the hats are limited in time, and they go away and calm down after a while.

Adnan

I'll protest the shit out of this.

@AviD Noooope.

While hats go away, the byproducts (rep/badges) stay.

AviD

@Adnan not necessarily - there is a difference between "always okay" and "okay for the duration of 3 arbitrary weeks".

@Adnan yes yes, that part is true, but its always the case.

Adnan

@AviD Exactly. Since it's always the case, why worry about it, right? Nyahahahaha

AviD

hehe

you fat bastard!

Adnan

@AviD Actually, I'm about 5 kilos extra fat of my optimal weight. So, in a way, you're correct.

TildalWave

12:24

@AviD go ahead, say it, more so what?

Adnan

@AviD +1 for the HTTPS cookie answer. I can't believe @Lucas got it that wrong.

oy, @Lucas, @Lucas, @Lucas....

@TildalWave whatever you are.

Adnan

@AviD Why haven't you downvoted his answer?

TildalWave

@AviD that's ... scary

AviD

I guess I should....

Adnan

12:26

Of course you should. That'll do 3 things
- Push him to correct it
- Push him to delete it
- Tell others it's wrong

AviD

I'd rather get him to fix/delete it.

@Adnan I prefer the soft touch.

Comments, chats, ....

Adnan

@AviD Once it's fixed/deleted, the downvoted will be taken back.

AviD

because I know him.

Adnan

@AviD I prefer the way that is better for the site and its users.

AviD

@Adnan aaaaand my way worked.

TildalWave

12:27

@AviD Wait, you're even a bit younger than I am, so why are you teaching me about old age? I thought that's for @RoryA to tell us :P

Adnan

@AviD I see this regardless of that. We know @Lucas, and we like him. I personally like the dude. However, when it comes to the site/rules, nobody is exempt.

AviD

on the other hand, only reason I bothered answering is because of his answer...

TildalWave

*warn us about

Terry Chia

@TildalWave You are way too young for @RoryA to teach you about old age.

AviD

@Adnan oh no, not what I meant. What I meant was, I can talk to him.

before taking action.

Adnan

12:28

@AviD Jiha! Got it

Oh, looks like he deleted it

AviD

I've learned over time to try the soft, human way first. Then go balls out and slice him to pieces.

1 min ago, by AviD

@Adnan aaaaand my way worked.

is what I meant...

TildalWave

@TerryChia Did you check my profile? I'm not so sure about "way too young". Younger yes, too young perhaps, but not way too young.

AviD

@TildalWave no, same age.

Adnan

@AviD Well, I downvoted and commented. That also means my way worked.

AviD

as I've said, how old you are is less about your age, it is more about how many kids you have.

@Adnan haha, okay, lets ask him.

ohhh @luuuuuukaaaas, @lucas!

TildalWave

12:30

@AviD Happy birthday then! why does this feel like a deja vu?

Terry Chia

@TildalWave The only reason @RoryA has 42 in his age is because his real age causes an integer overflow on the field.

2

Adnan

@AviD He's jelly of my girlfriends, he's not gonna admit that my way works.

AviD

lol

TildalWave

@TerryChia that was my joke :P still, 42 answers nearly everything

AviD

►

@TildalWave not how many kids I have. Thank the lord.

TildalWave

12:40

@AviD I thought you're getting close to that number?

AviD

@TildalWave heh, not quite. Sometimes feels that way, though.

Terry Chia

Huh! How did I miss this?

13 hours ago, by ManishEarth

There once was a man named @Simon / Who was as sour as a lemon / With @kalina he flirted / The site he deserted / That despicable man named @Simon

Also, the number of pinned messages we have is too goddamn high!

TildalWave

@AviD Tell me something, what do you do there for Xmas? I mean, do you have anything? Some other celebration in its place, or just "joining in for the fun of it"?

AviD

@TerryChia thats a good point. Imma unpin some crap.

@TildalWave Xmas is a (pseudo) Christian holiday, as I am not, the answer would be: "nothing at all".

Adnan

@AviD Never understood/liked that show.

AviD

12:44

@Adnan I think that clip explains it all.

@TildalWave and for that matter, I'm not joining in at all....

only thing I get, is quiet from my international clients ;-)

TildalWave

@AviD Ok... you know what I meant? I'm not religious either, but it's still a family celebration for us back home. But I didn't mean so much you and your family in particular, I meant what's the feeling around your place, any change at all or just trying to avoid certain districts?

i.e. how the city feels like

@AviD heh that's not too bad either

I used to go to Chinese restaurants for Xmas because I just couldn't stand all the euphoria surrounding it

AviD

@TildalWave neither. That would apply on Jewish holidays, or even Islamic ones.

Christians are very very limited here.

There are some big non-religious Xmas parties in some of the seedier Tel Aviv pubs, but I dont go there anymore anyway.

TildalWave

@AviD How so? You mean there simply aren't many?

AviD

@TildalWave yeah. There are maybe a handful of areas that would be termed "christian neighborhoods".

TildalWave

@AviD mmmm seedier Tel Aviv pubs :) sounds fun

AviD

12:52

I mean, there plenty coming and going, but no big concentration.

TildalWave

gotcha

AviD

My father works in the tourism industry, so he does bring Xmas cakes to the Christian travel agents and group managers.

TildalWave

and good to know, I might need to escape it all some years... I hold on pretty good this year, but that's because I barely had the time to go out

AviD

also, most years there is an uproar in the media: The gov't cuts down trees from the forest, and brings them to give out free to anyone who is wanting an Xmas tree.

Forgetting that the forests do need trimming every so often....

TildalWave

@AviD meh that's just courtesy it's probably the other way around too for Hanukkah and so on

AviD

12:55

@TildalWave oh hang on, this time of year is a huge target for christian tour groups - yknow, touring Nazareth, Bethlehem, Old Jerusalem, etc.

@TildalWave yeah, exactly. But I grew up eating Xmas cake on Xmas. (always a couple left over...)

TildalWave

@AviD yes that I know, but that's not Tel Aviv

AviD

@TildalWave hahah, no, not so much.

TildalWave

well cakes are good

OK sorry if you found this too inquisitive, but that's just me... I just shoot, apologize later :)

Terry Chia

@TildalWave Too easy....

So I'm not going to say it.

AviD

@TildalWave not at all!

TildalWave

12:59

@TerryChia What? TWSS? Would that even make any sense? :O

AviD

feel free to ask anything....

Terry Chia

@TildalWave Nah, not "TWSS". But cmon! "I just shoot, apologize later"? :P

TildalWave

Hehe yeah, I do :) always. Some don't like it, tho I didn't really think that you'd mind... frankly, I'm getting only more curious about other cultures, I used to just not care much about that before, kinda casual liberal and now more annoyingly curious :)

@TerryChia figure of speech

Scott Pack

@TerryChia Were they telling gaming stories about their characters?

Terry Chia

@TildalWave Sure.... ;)

Scott Pack

13:04

@RоryMcCune That list is what got me fed up enough to make the calendar.

Terry Chia

@ScottPack Wrong person.

Scott Pack

@TerryChia I tried to tab complete too aggressively.

AviD

@ScottPack what is the criteria for your calendar?

Terry Chia

Man... you know it's not a good thing when you have 20 such lines in your codebase.

AviD

13:08

@TerryChia Gotta catch 'em all!

@TildalWave ah, the chess game. Classic.

Terry Chia

@AviD Hehe. Indeed.

Hmm, the new Mac Pro is limited to 64GB ECC RAM. Seems kinda limited for a workstation machine.

Scott Pack

@AviD It's primary focus is for information security conferences. I generalized it to things that would be particularly interesting to those people.

There's already so many of the former that I didn't want to end up filling it up with all tech conferences. That would just be too busy.

AviD

@ScottPack global? how big a conference?

e.g. OWASP chapter meetings...

Adnan

@AviD We need a Finland chapter

AviD

@Adnan start one up!

@Adnan oh hang on, there is one: owasp.org/index.php/Helsinki

Adnan

13:13

@AviD Ewww.. Helsinki! It might as well be in Turkey

AviD

and Norway has 2, and Sweden has 3... ;-)

@Adnan so, start another... what part are you in? and would there be enough interest there?

Scott Pack

@AviD Global yes. I think the smallest I've put on were the BSides

Unless it's a relatively big event I'm thinking chapter meetings might start a bad precident.

AviD

@ScottPack ah. Still very much "conference" and not "meeting".

I think it makes sense.

Scott Pack

I can see a situation where a chapter meeting might be a Big Thing, such as where it drifts into something more conference like with possibly a slightly different format.

AviD

nah, dont get into it, I dont think those are usually of enough interest or importance to warrant tracking it.

Adnan

13:16

@AviD Maaan.. there's nothing in Finland. This place is the shittiest place in Scandinavia, yet everybody pretends it's the best.

AviD

@Adnan "everybody"........?

Adnan

@AviD Everybody in Finland*

* who isn't Swedish-speaking Finn

AviD

@Adnan ah, of course.

Scott Pack

@AviD I'm imagining a situation where there could be something akin to a OWASP Europe Chapter Meeting that took place over the course of a day.

Terry Chia

@ScottPack You can add Syscan and Blackhat Asia in there actually.

Scott Pack

13:17

Here the ISSA chapter meetings are, essentially, half-day conferences.

AviD

@ScottPack yeah, thats already a proper conference.

Scott Pack

@TerryChia You got links handy so I don't have to go dig them up?

Terry Chia

@ScottPack I see you already have Blackhat Asia in there. Syscan link is here. syscan.org

Adnan

@AviD and whenever somebody criticizes something in an attempt to fix it or make it better, the best response is "At least we're not Sweden".

AviD

hahaha

Scott Pack

13:18

I've been trying to not avoid global events, I just don't have quite as much exposure to them.

Some of the things I've put on there are only because I've heard them mentioned on podcasts as places the hosts would be attending.

Adnan

typerdick.com

Unlike the name suggests, it's completely SFW

Terry Chia

Hm. Fedora 20 is surprisingly stable for a week old release. Much better than Fedora 19 so far.

@ScottPack Did you know Fedora has a new experimental package manager?

kalina

@manish no 5 rep cap hat this year

Scott Pack

In an ideal world this thing would be a webapp where each event is a separate ics file with tags with things like size, region, specialty, format, community/vendor-focus, etc. Then a user could present a list of search criteria and it would combine the separate events into a customized calendar.

That's a fair bit of development effort, and hosting, that I'm not willing to dig myself into yet, or ever.

@TerryChia No more yum?

Terry Chia

@ScottPack Nono, yum is still the main one. The new one is called dnf (for now). fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DNF

It's apparently an experimental fork of yum that they hope to use in Fedora 22.

@tylerl nice catch

tylerl

what's new?

Rоry McCune

@tylerl just finishing my last job for the year, looks like I've sold my old house, and everyone on the DMZ seems to be obsessed with hats :)

tylerl

17:42

@RоryMcCune The hat thing is so ephemeral that it seems marginally pointless. You spend the whole month collecting hats, which then permanently disappear once the collection period has ended.

Rоry McCune

@tylerl true indeed...

Scott Pack

@RоryMcCune Congratulations!

Rоry McCune

@ScottPack ta will be a big weight off the mind once it goes through. Was unexpected, as the place looks a bit barren now we've moved out. We were actually about to pay to get an interior decorator to tart it up, so glad to have avoided that expense!

Scott Pack

@RоryMcCune No doubt.

tylerl

@RоryMcCune "pay to get an interior decorator to tart it up" -- apparently you have a different definition over there about what a "tart" is.

Rоry McCune

17:50

@tylerl heh uk phrasing to "tart something up" is to make it pretty/shiny but has the other meaning of a tart as a lady of negotiable affection...

tylerl

over here, that sort of decoration would probably make it more difficult to sell.

Scott Pack

Honestly, I think both definitions work given the subject matter.

In the US "to tart something up" has a big of a connotation towards the skeezy but we are talking about real estate after all.

Thomas Pornin

@RоryMcCune Half of all English world have as alternate meaning "a lady of negotiable affection" !

Rоry McCune

@ScottPack well if I was to use a more recent uk'ian phrase we were going to get "house doctored" after the TV show of that name.. basically nice neutral colours and tasteful ornaments, the kind of stuff you see in show houses...

Scott Pack

@ThomasPornin One can always determine the important features of a culture by their vocabulary. How many words for "snow" do the Aleutians have, and how many words for "cheese" the French?

@RоryMcCune It's called "staging".

Rоry McCune

17:57

@ScottPack actually our house doctor person did use that phrase, so now I know where she got it from..

Scott Pack

It's a common term in the industry, I don't know that it came from anywhere in particular, but certainly predates much of the popular appeal of shows like that.

Rоry McCune

@ScottPack ah but I think it's a US'ian phrase, I've definitely never heard it in the UK before...

Scott Pack

Ah, ok.

Rоry McCune

and the house doctor person is a US'ian

so that would make sense...

There can be many varieties within each type of cheese, leading some to claim closer to 1,000 different types of French cheese.
