@kalina You are irrelevant. Prepare to be assimilated.

@RoryAlsop So, user has a six-month history of just plain being stupid on SE. And they apparently seem to be trying to hand off their adult responsibilities, and insisting that the businesses they deal with bend their policies to suit their personal whimsy. I'm not sure SE is the only thing they need to be banned/suspended from.

Rory Alsop

@Iszi And you taste the delights of being a mod

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop random Q. for you did Emma Leave $large_bank?

Journeyman Geek

Rоry McCune

@JourneymanGeek 111?

Journeyman Geek

the grammar there seems odd ;p

Iszi

16:10

@RоryMcCune Emma = @RoryAlsop's XYL?

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune yes

Rоry McCune

@Iszi XYL?

Rory Alsop

@Iszi I'm pretty sure that whatever XYL is, the answer is no

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop ahh didn't think there'd be that many people with the same name who were security directors

Iszi

@RоryMcCune Amateur Radio slang for "wife/girlfriend".

Rоry McCune

16:11

@RoryAlsop who's the new Emma?

@Iszi ... LOL no then

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune now at $LARGE_TELECOMS_CO

@RоryMcCune there isn't one yet

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop that was the context I saw the name in

Rory Alsop

which is causing some challenges

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop was that your interview you had then?

:op

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune heh - no. Although I'm unsure as to whether the role will be up. I will apply if it is, but I think that it is not going to exist

that whole function now reports in via the CTO

which is ... odd

Iszi

16:16

@RoryAlsop Ew.

Oh. @RoryAlsop @RоryMcCune - Apparently UD says that XYL is wife, YL is girlfriend. Though I always understood YL to just be any "young lady".

Rory Alsop

@Iszi I have only once ever had a YL called Emma. Rest easy that this one wasn't any kind of YL

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop that is .. odd, you'd have thought CRO or these days direct to the board

Iszi

@RoryAlsop Interestingly enough, hams don't have a slang for "old lady". Technically, I guess XYL (based on the fact that many seem to interpret it as "ex-young lady") would work, if it weren't for the general usage of that term to specify someone in a romantic relationship. And also interesting is that all males in ham radio are called "OM".

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune I have discussed appropriate models, and things may change (my preference is CISO, but hey)

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop ahh CISO there's a poison chalice of a role, if ever I saw one

Rory Alsop

16:22

@RоryMcCune Yeah - I've sort of revised my long term career aspirations to not have CISO, but perhaps have CRO :-P

until the responsibilities are sorted out industry-wide, or at least agreed

Iszi

Interestingly, Wiki says that about a third of CISOs still report to the CIO.

Bah. Wikipedia should cache all reference pages.

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop yeah safer.

Iszi

Now that would be a cool feature. Cache the page, and when you click the reference you're automatically jumped to the relevant section of the page (which is also highlighted).

Rоry McCune

any job where responsibility is greatly > than authority is a bad idea (tm)

Iszi

Anyhoo. All that to say that the one reference for the CISO article is a borked link.

Rоry McCune

16:27

if anyone's looking for security vids to watch B-Sides Manchester have their track one stuff up

Videos from @BSidesMCR Track 1 are now on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1mLiimOTqZFK98VwM8Ke4w The rest are coming, as are the slides. Enjoy

Q: cryptographically linkable random tokens

Are there any algorithms/protocols that let you produce a specific length of random tokens/bits in such a way that you can cryptographically determine which 2 or more tokens/bitstrings where produced using the same seed/key. Is it possible at all? any pointers will be greatly appreciated For exa...

TildalWave

:24259446 sorry had to remove that

I mean, I didn't have to, but I had to :)

Simon

Yeah, :24259446.

Rory Alsop

@TildalWave wrong tab?

TildalWave

hmmmm huh?

@RoryAlsop no one @Simon is quite enough thank you, I don't have multiple tabs where I converse with other @Simons open :P

Simon

Oh. Did we miss this?

Q: Congratulations! Cryptography is graduating!

It's a big day. You've been cleared for graduation by the Stack Exchange Community Team! Cryptography has already met our threshold for graduation-worthy sites, and today joins in the new design-independent graduation process! Reaching 'mature community' status is a big milestone, and you should ...

Simon

@Iszi No, you did.

Q: Migration path to crypto.se

Crypto.se is graduating. Does that mean we can finally add an official "vote-to-close" option for our fourth-most-popular migration target?

feature-request migration

Iszi

@Simon The statement seems to presume you're speaking to one entity.

TildalWave

@Iszi we all knew it was

it's just you

Simon

rekt

RoraΖ

16:41

@Iszi I wouldn't say we were missing it Iszi

kalina

@Iszi pls, do you even star trek?

if I was irrelevant the borg would leave me alone as I would provide no obvious biological or technological improvement over the collective in its current configuration

if you're going to put me down with such geeky things, at least get them right

Simon

@kalina pls, my ex-dad is the nurdiest of them all, of course he star treks.

kalina

@Simon obviously not in this instance

TildalWave

@RoryAlsop It's bad as essentially a list question, making it too broad. TL;DR there isn't any single definitive answer to it that can be voted to the top and accepted, that wouldn't also be too long to write.

kalina

since a little girl just ran rings around him

he should be ASHAMED

also his geek card should be revoked immediately

and set on fire

TildalWave

16:44

gotta love longer TL;DR's than main content LOL

David Freitag

@kalina That reminds me of that picture of a house burning down and the little girl holding a book of matches

kalina

oh somebody illustrated me in action?

TildalWave

oh yes :)

Rоry McCune

David Freitag

That ^

Rоry McCune

16:45

@DavidFreitag that the one?

kalina

oh that's like a decade old, before I went into witness protection

David Freitag

Some images there is a little hand with a book of matches shopped in there too

Man, the fogey beat me to the image. What is this world coming to?

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag YNFYL

TildalWave

@RoryAlsop really? why just a week then?

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune hwat?

TildalWave

16:47

I thought suspensions are supposed to be incremental

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag "You're Not Fast, You're Last"

:op

kalina

did you just make that up

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune I'd rather be last to a fogey than be a fogey :D

Iszi

Three logicians walk into a bar.
The bartender asks, "Do you all want something to drink?"
The first logician says, "I don't know."
The second logician says, "I don't know."
The third logician says, "Yes."

David Freitag

@kalina Presumably, since when I googled "YNFYL" google was like WAT?!

Rory Alsop

16:48

@DavidFreitag he has image powerzzz

Rоry McCune

variants thereon

kalina

@Iszi boring

Rory Alsop

@TildalWave yes, but this was for his editing - quite a minor issue, but he got flagged a fair bit, and it upset folks

Rоry McCune

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop I spend a few seconds pondering what my search history would look like to other people with "girl watching house burn down" in it

@RоryMcCune Timberland featured a zombie in one of their ads?

kalina

16:49

@DavidFreitag I can't imagine that makes it worse than it already was

Rory Alsop

@DavidFreitag they'll assume you are searching for a meme, same as everyone else

David Freitag

@kalina At work? My search history contains only "digikey ..."

kalina

I'm pretty sure based on some of your other conversations you've already got something like "how to be intimate with an oscilloscope"

TildalWave

@RoryAlsop ah ok, as long as he's upset about as much about his suspension as all of us about whatever he didn't comply with this time :P

David Freitag

@kalina I didn't need to google how to be intimate with an oscilloscope, that was ingrained in my DNA.

kalina

16:51

@TildalWave if that's the benchmark, I'm way more unhappy than he is

and thus his ban should be extended to literally 9000 years

since my unhappiness is over 9000

TildalWave

@kalina it was a bit cynical remark actually

Rory Alsop

I try to be fair based on what I personally see

kalina

@DavidFreitag that's a bit disturbing

TildalWave

for which I apologize

kalina

@TildalWave :o

Rory Alsop

16:52

I do take into account his suspensions elsewhere, but mostly as a slight reduction of my tolerance level, as he should know better

kalina

where is the real @TildalWave and who are you?

Rory Alsop

@kalina this is Canadian @Tildal

kalina

ew, Canadian? :/

TildalWave

@kalina I'm here, I just found a coffee so good that everything looks better after drinking it

David Freitag

@kalina Please, like you had to search google for how to properly play with the knobs on your audio equipment :P

TildalWave

16:53

might involve a bit of scotch in it tho

kalina

@DavidFreitag no but I did need to google on ... nevermind

David Freitag

@kalina Really? I bet that produced some interesting results.

Rоry McCune

@kalina whaaaaat 9000?!?!

kalina

@DavidFreitag you'd be surprised how few women get turned on by hardware synths

like, I'm alone in the world

I should just /quit

@RоryMcCune over NINE THOUSAND

TildalWave

@DavidFreitag I'm sooooo tempted to edit that to remove "audio" LOL

kalina

16:55

@TildalWave mod abuse is not big or clever, or... acceptable

David Freitag

@TildalWave I really really wanted to say that without the "on your audio equipment" but I think that would be too easy to flag.

kalina

but if you want to be the room's next lighty, feel free

TildalWave

@kalina talking about it helps tho, and is at least acceptable if not big or clever :P

Rоry McCune

^Villains of DBZ

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune LOL

TildalWave

16:56

@DavidFreitag in DMZ? c'mon it would be pinned to the star wall

kalina

I've never watched DBZ so fortunately I can ignore that completely missed reference

Rory Alsop

@kalina Me too

David Freitag

@kalina :o

Rоry McCune

@kalina but that was the over 9000 reference!!

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop :O

kalina

16:57

@RоryMcCune gamer, duh

Rory Alsop

I have seen the clip, but DBZ makes me need to turn over after about 2 seconds

kalina

I've never even attempted

David Freitag

@kalina Do you regularly use references to things you have never seen before?

Rоry McCune

hey twitter suspended the account that replied to every mention of 9000 in a tweet with "9000 ?!??!?!"

kalina

I don't do anime

David Freitag

16:58

@RoryAlsop You should watch DBZ abridged. It's hysterical.

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop you should try the vid @DavidFreitag talked about

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune #rekt

kalina

seriously

there is an echo in here

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag no idea what you're on about guv

kalina

can we set up an anechoic chamber to remove the echos

David Freitag

16:59

Although do be warned @RoryAlsop it is pretty NSFW

TildalWave

Which reminds me, what happened to Duck Quacks Don't Echo? I enjoyed that series

Rory Alsop

@DavidFreitag I'd cope with that, it's the graphic style and voices in the original that I object to

@TildalWave it's still on

I think

Saw it last week

TildalWave

It is? Oh I missed it then :(

you guys noticed there's a new Limitless series with the actor from the movie?

looks good so far

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop The abridged series is not done by the original creators

The voice acting is better, and they reduced the whole 300 or so episodes down to like 50

And the fact that it's hysterical makes up for some of the issues

@kalina Sure, all you need is some cardboard and a lot of free time

Lucas Kauffman

Simon

olle

Lucas Kauffman

@RоryMcCune which clip?

David Freitag

@LucasKauffman DBZ abridged

DragonBall Z Abridged: Episode 1 - TeamFourStar (TFS)

►

Lucas Kauffman

@DavidFreitag ty

lol youtube isnt loading for some reaason

Jeff Ferland

Was following up on the ping about the latest suspension... and looking at the list of suspensions... some people have really tried extra hard and their suspensions end in 2024/2025. One poor bastard got 2042.

Rory Alsop

@kalina - never played this, but it's a game, with explosions:

This is Just Cause 3

►

kalina

17:15

it's basically GTA

the other one is Saints Row

Jeff Ferland

Hmm, apparently they're network-wide suspensions, not our own... but often 3650 days and 10240 is apparently another magic number.

Rory Alsop

@JeffFerland trying to remember who that was

ahh - not one of ours

our longest is 2026

Lucas Kauffman

@JeffFerland what do you do to get suspended until then?

@RoryAlsop what did he do to deserve that :P?

Rory Alsop

@LucasKauffman many, many things. Over and over and over...

kalina

@LucasKauffman I imagine it would be like 5th major offense

RoraΖ

17:27

@kalina For me it'd probably be a faked one

Rory Alsop

@Iszi - you were being very sensible with your comments, but that is what she does - she drags it out into huge discussions and then acts surprised when folks get annoyed. SO I have just deleted the entire thing.

@RoraΖ ew - you fake it?

RoraΖ

@RoryAlsop Yeah you know, when I'm tired it's enough already.

TildalWave

that's how we got @JohnP here, so all is good

RoraΖ

@TildalWave He's used to people faking it?

"In either case, I believe that we need to prompt for research, not to close it for a canned reason." This is exactly what I was thinking. "Closed Question" seems too harsh an action. Would it be too much to edit the question to include the questions we'd like the OP to answer? — RoraΖ 46 secs ago

TildalWave

@RoraΖ hehe dunno about that

but he like digs or masters or something martial arts and with @Simon around we can use more of those

Simon

17:39

wot

Because I attract trouble?

Oh well, #yolo.

RoraΖ

@Simon #sleds

David Freitag

17:57

@RoryAlsop DUUUUUUDE I CAN'T WAIT

JC 2 was da bomb

JohnP

@TildalWave Not a master yet. Got probably about...mmm, maybe 8-9 more years before I can get that title.

TildalWave

@JohnP You can jujitsu the jam out of a donut can you? That's good enough :D

Lucas Kauffman

@TildalWave Does Google-fu count?

JohnP

@TildalWave Oh, don't mention donuts. I just started back into the gym and eating better. :( :(

TildalWave

@LucasKauffman no :)

Simon

18:02

@JohnP What kind of world do you live in to ask someone to not mention donuts?

JohnP

@DavidFreitag Googling "How to play with your knob" could be interesting. :)

David Freitag

@JohnP I dunno, you should collect some empirical data and report your findings.

JohnP

@Simon A world where I'm back into the World rankings for my age/belt in 3 divisions, and need to up my game before June.

TildalWave

@JohnP so I probably shouldn't mention bacon, beer, scotch, ham, kebabs and so on?

or intentionally dining out in restaurants that are uphill so you can roll back home once you ate all you could there?

JohnP

Oh god yes bacon! That never goes away. Beer only on the weekend, I don't do hard liquor, ham is ok, as are kebabs. Mostly jsut really starchy/fried/fatty is off the table.

Speaking of, it's lunchtime. bbl.

RoraΖ

18:16

@DavidFreitag Jesus came again already?

2

David Freitag

@RoraΖ Yeah like three times, bro.

@JohnP Lunch time? It's 2pm!

RoraΖ

@DavidFreitag Damn, can't believe I missed it twice. That's Haley's Comet type shit.

Iszi

18:39

@RoraΖ There's a Mary Magdelane joke in there somewhere.

Rory Alsop

18:50

@DavidFreitag honestly, I had never heard of this franchise. Guessing that's because it is like GTA and as it sucked in every way I can think of I probably assumed this would be as bad

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop Nonono, JC was fantastic!

The entire point of JC is to cause havoc and destroy things!

Explosions purely for the fun of it!

And maaaaaaaan is that game pretty :U

Rory Alsop

That I can definitely get on board with

David Freitag

I can't vouch for the original JC game, but I have JC2 on steam and I think I played like 200 hours of that game

You can ride a supersonic jet fighter like a surfboard! :O

Anyway, I can admit that the gunplay is kinda crap, and the vehicle controls could be better, and the storyline is pretty meh, but it's a really fun game.
