@Simon first time for everything I guess

pls rory from the netherlands

i.imgur.com/33sSi79.png turning out ok so far. Anyone aware of password managers that show metrics about users' passwords?

My dxracer finally arrived

@Simon You got a mention today when we had our Mini-Sec.SE meetup (for the like 15 minutes that @Adi was there today, before @AviD had to go catch a flight)

I'm supar excited.

@RоryMcCune Oh lawd, what insult was it?

@Simon well all I'll say is that @AviD said it, and leave it to your imagination :op

Haha.

@Simon Ohyiss

@DavidFreitag He nailed it big time IMO.

@Simon The start was very boring, but that drop ermahgherd

uuurhhmagurd

@DavidFreitag Dude, it's slenderman. Of course it would ruin you.

@Kisunminttu I have no idea why either... It's really the only thing (that I have discovered...) that does this to me.

@DavidFreitag Does it make you feel extremely uncomfortable and that you'd pay anything just to get a taxi to get away from that feeling?

Because if so, I have a few of those as well. Hrh.

@Kisunminttu No, it makes me terrified to even exist. The feeling is more like no matter what I do, or where I go I'll never escape.

@DavidFreitag Oh yeah, THAT.

people playing horror games for fun is weird (to me)

@DavidFreitag I went through a phase of being scared of good ol' Slendy, but I befriended him in my imagination and now we're cool

@RоryMcCune Not a game, this is a mini series. If it were a game nope, nope, nope, nope. Nope.

I try to avoid being scared by stuff...

@DavidFreitag ahh I thought there was a game with a slenderman'esque character

@RоryMcCune Took me way too many years and sleepless nights to figure this out

Actually, it might help to shoot slenderman in the face with a few thousand shotgun shells...

@RоryMcCune Oh there are

@DavidFreitag oh in this game there was no way to shoot him you had to run round collecting things in the dark with a dodgy torch while he stalked you

@RоryMcCune I was expecting it to be scarier. There are scarier ones out there, I believe

@Kisunminttu yeah that's like internet nasty videos. I know there are worse ones that those I've seen, but I have no intention of going looking for them :)

@Kisunminttu BTW did @Adi tell you about his travels woes today?

@RоryMcCune Quite the self control master we have here, eh?

@Kisunminttu ah no I just saw enough Internet nasties via work (tubgirl, goatse etc) that I decided that I didn't need to see any more :)

@RоryMcCune Yes, he did! I felt so so bad for him! :(

@DavidFreitag ^ that

@Kisunminttu yeah he didn't make it to the venue till like 17:00!

@RоryMcCune The thing is, that series was way more scary than standard slenderman

I'll need to catch up with him tomorrow, I wimped out of the social thing tonight so I could rehearse my talk for tomorrow :)

@DavidFreitag yeah watching other people play was close enough to it for me :)

@RоryMcCune Wish I could've been there. My better half will take care of the show, no doubt :)

Partly because of the realism, and partly because I have a tendency to get too attached to what I'm watching.

eg. what I'm watching is reality

@DavidFreitag I strongly dislike this tendency in myself

@RоryMcCune Will we be able to see your talk at some point? :)

@Kisunminttu I really like it. It allows me to get strongly attached to characters in TV shows.

@DavidFreitag Weirdo!

@Kisunminttu I think so, they're definitely videoing them, and the crew that does these are pretty good about getting them online quickly :)

@Kisunminttu :[

@RоryMcCune Awesome :) good luck, I'm sure you'll nail it

@DavidFreitag Aww, come on. There there.

@Kisunminttu thanks :) I'm hoping it'll go well..

@RоryMcCune If I bet 5 eur on it, I'd be 5 euros richer after you've finished :)

@Kisunminttu heh :)

speaking of Internet nasties, some people looking at electronic billboards in Atlanta yesterday got a nice view of Goatse.. reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/comments/35ht5y/…

@RоryMcCune What's so bad about goats?

@DavidFreitag it's the last e that's the key there...

@RоryMcCune It's a good/bad thing I'm at work then.

@DavidFreitag rly you've not heard of Goatse?

@RоryMcCune Nope.

in which case I recommend you remain ignorant of this!

seriously

Heard of. Not seen.

no good can come of seeing this image

I started my IT Sec career as an analyst in a bank, one of my first jobs was e-mail invesgitations, and I managed to end up seeing Goatse and Tubgirl in the first week

this was not a good thing (tm)

I just thought, "How bad could it possibly be?"

@DavidFreitag if you've seen many internet nasties it's probably not that bad (it's kind of old), but if you haven't isn't not the most pleasant image to see...

@RоryMcCune I have not seen any internet nasties

Unless you count @Simon's mom

@DavidFreitag in which case if I was you I'd recommend keeping it that way

@RоryMcCune But curiosity is literally killing me.

@DavidFreitag ah yeah that's the curse of the young. I remember me and @RoryAlsop warning some of the juniors at EY not to look for these things, and of course what did they do, immediately went and looked at them, and then went "aaargh why did we do that"

@RоryMcCune I don't think it has anything to do with my age, I'm just curious by nature.

@DavidFreitag so am I but experience tempers curiousity :)

@Simon sooooo, headhunterz ripped off Pendulum.

Like, hardcore.

@DavidFreitag pls

@DavidFreitag Where what who?

@Simon Pendulum's album "Hold your color" came out two years before Heazhunterz' Rock Civilization.

@DavidFreitag I can guarantee you that he asked them before releasing the track, otherwise his ass would be sued right now.

This would be an easy case to win, it's too obvious.

@Simon Seems a little too shady for me

@DavidFreitag Nah, he's too popular, so is that track. He wouldn't have pulled it off.

@Simon Yeah but pendulum isn't nearly as popular as him, especially not hold your color.

@DavidFreitag What? Pendulum has twice as much likes as HHZ does on FB.

Also, Pendulum = Knife Party = popular.

Well, 2 guys of Pendulum are Knife Party.

I just thought it was a bit odd.

I heard the song and was like wait WAT

Yeah well spotted, I didn't even know.

Like I said, Hold your color is probably Pendulum's least popular album. Most people know In Silico, and everyone knows Immersion.

Maaan this week is just dragging by

@RоryM Dude! Where did you disappear? After the shower, I didn't see you.

Did you go to NEMO?

@TildalWave and other Space Exploration denizens is cs.stackexchange.com/questions/42846/… something Space.SE would want?

@Gilles Seems like it would be a good fit for Space.SE, I'm sure someone over there has the answer to that.

It might also make a decent home at EE.SE, they can explain the mechanics behind bootloading and flashing new software etc.

is there a process to convert an DSA key file to RSA? I'm assuming 'no', but I've got a customer hand-holding issue here

@DavidFreitag ok thanks, migrated

@schroeder No. Might as well convert a cat to a dog.

@Gilles that's what I thought - my Hail Mary failed

@Gilles Yup. Better yet, we have Mars Exploration Program Architect as one of our top members. Thanks.

I'm just not sure he's not already on Kauai for the next flying saucer test
