@RoryAlsop it's posting about pasta :P

Rory Alsop

@JukEboX getting first pasta posta with pizza

Zachiel

posta means mail in Italian

Rory Alsop

as does post in English

Simon

@Zachiel It'll grow on you. I've got some proof:

Jul 15 '14 at 15:19, by Rory Alsop

yolo

Rory Alsop

But English is lovely in that it can mean about 8 other things too

@Simon I'm assuming that was my "once" yes?

Adi

20:01

Umm

Rory Alsop

I only yolo'ed once

Simon

@RoryAlsop chat.stackexchange.com/…

Rory Alsop

@Adi it was for good reason

Simon

Not quite, sir.

Rory Alsop

oh, those were all ironic yolos

Zachiel

20:02

@Adi I s'pose Mark has a cat

Mark Buffalo

Where is AviD

Simon

@RoryAlsop Sureeee.

TildalWave

@Adi does it say something offensive in bear language?

Mark Buffalo

@Adi I initially had a terrible example there.

Rory Alsop

@MarkBuffalo Is that like Where's Wally?

diagprov

20:02

@Simon rsync would work. Git makes sense also.

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop Think so

@AviD Hi

Rory Alsop

a picture of thousands of tigers with one Tigger hidden

Simon

@diagprov What's better on git compared to svn?

TildalWave

@RoryAlsop is that like find the odd one out?

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop Do you think I should also delete my newest post?

I mean, @kalina really did bring up a good point

@kalina This point in particular

Rory Alsop

20:04

@TildalWave yes

Simon

Here we can observe a wild Markus in his natural habitat, contemplating the idea of deleting yet again another post.

JukEboX

Croy-kee @Simon

TildalWave

@MarkBuffalo you might get auto-flagged for destruction of own contents

Mark Buffalo

@TildalWave What do you mean?

TildalWave

well if you delete a lot of own stuff in a short period of time, the system will assume you might be a reggae quitter ... sorry, rage quitter

Zachiel

20:07

The comany website has a login. I want the users of my site to use the same login to access. I feel like this is the receipt for disaster...

That might make a good question, isn't it?

Simon

@Zachiel Unanswerable unless we actually read the whole code.

Zachiel

Dang!

Mark Buffalo

@Zachiel What do you mean? You want the users of your website to use the same login as your company's employees?

Simon

If you're wondering about specific guidelines, then maybe you could get a decent question out of that.

Zachiel

It's me building a separate minisite for the company

diagprov

20:09

@Simon almost everything.

JukEboX

@TildalWave "reggae quitter" LOLOLol

Mark Buffalo

@Zachiel for what purpose?

Simon

@MarkBuffalo OpSec, son.

He's asking about an authentication system, the layer below doesn't matter.

Zachiel

@MarkBuffalo but some of the material that's downloadable from the main site (for registered users only) should also be downloadable from the minisite. But the admin of the main site is outsorced and won'ìt let us create the minisite as pages of the main site

@Simon No problem, nothing secret here

Simon

IT'S THE WEEEEEKEND!

Rory Alsop

20:12

which means I get to be dad taxi through the day as well as the evenings

eldest two are working at the rugby tomorrow

they are really looking forward to it - as working appears to mean watching England v Scotland

Mark Buffalo

Nice

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop are they being ball-people?

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune I'm not sure what their role is actually, but the cadets all do something at the start - and then get to watch. I'm going to try and spot them on TV

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop cool!

kalina

@Zachiel just remember, if you build it they will come

Rоry McCune

20:14

shit it's 6 nations time again, I didn' realise

kalina

egg chasing?

Rory Alsop

@kalina yup

kalina

should just play a real sport

like starcraft

Rоry McCune

@kalina been watching Wayne's World 2 again, huh?

Zachiel

I tought of some strategies, but I have no idea which can work. 1) have the authentication happen on the main site and somehow propagate it to the minisite. It will probably be possible to fake the authentication at the minisite, but at least it won't be possible to crack the PW database without cracking the main site.
2) read the PW database at the main site. But if I'm allowed to do it, I guess that's an opening
3) have the DB duplicated at my site. Hackerfest? XD

kalina

20:16

no

Zachiel

@kalina They aren't Korean, this won't do

kalina

does your mini site even need user personalization?

in fact, I don't care

I'm going to start my day

Rory Alsop

Macarena (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)

Rоry McCune

@kalina have fun with the whole travelling thing, may your security queues be short and your upgrades inevitable :)

2

kalina

@RoryAlsop what the actual fuck did you just assault me with

Zachiel

20:19

@kalina If it was me, I'd let everyone download that material. At this point I guess all of our competitors have a fake account at our place and vice-versa.

Rory Alsop

@kalina the only good version of the Macarena I have ever heard

Leo rocks :-)

check out his covers of Barbie Girl, or Adele's "Hello"

hahahaha - or even his "Let it Go"

kalina

@RоryMcCune the only place to upgrade to from business class is pilot

Rory Alsop

Let It Go - from Frozen (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)

kalina

and I'm not ashamed to tell you I had to google the spelling of pilot

</earlyMorning>

Rory Alsop

@kalina what about "First"

Rоry McCune

20:21

@kalina ooh someone's flying business class... posh!

Rory Alsop

it always looks way better than business

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop I got into first once randomly, it was very nice

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune I'm taking Claire to NY in April and looked at First, but it was more than 15 times as expensive as the Premium Economy, and 8 times more expensive than Business

Zachiel

The best thing in the world is being an Air Traffic Controller. Especially if your mom used to say you will never get paid just for looking out of the window.

Rory Alsop

not easy to justify

Mark Buffalo

20:23

@RоryMcCune Sometimes, I might be offered this as I literally can't fit in the economy seats

I take up enough space for 2 people :/

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop yeah the time I got it was a business class flight I booked with miles, where the route got changed on me so they bumped me up to first :)

kalina

@RoryAlsop mmmh

"first" vs "business" is a strange one

like 75% of the time there is no difference other than cost

many airlines merge the two groupings but in the instance where they're different first class is usually better

Rory Alsop

@kalina On Virgin or Quantas or BA there is quite a nice difference in bed, menu and wine list

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop Have you ever been in the upstairs part?

kalina

it's not "double the cost" better, though

Rory Alsop

20:25

@MarkBuffalo on a 747 - yes. Once was on a flight to the Falklands where there were only 7 passengers. So we all sat upstairs...

kalina

I fine sinking into my ocean worth of seating rather than having a pod

it's not like I'm particularly large in any dimension

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop That's so beautiful... reminds me to go to the Falklands so I can try that

@kalina TWSS, right? That's What Simon Said.

Rory Alsop

@kalina I like to be able to stretch out, despite being under 6ft

Zachiel

And you do what Simon says.

kalina

@RoryAlsop that's my point, I can't stretch out that far

I'm not made from elastic

I am quite comfortable in coach with the exception of nowhere to set up electronics

in terms of... I fit in the seat and don't have leg room problems

Zachiel

20:27

Small and not-a-contortionist. That's a pityful condition.

Rоry McCune

@kalina an advantage of short stature...

Mark Buffalo

Checkmarx contacted me and offered an apology... and exactly what I had been asking for

Now that's customer service

kalina

loooooooooool ok for whatever reason my morning browsing ended up with me being on foxsports.com.au

and at the bottom of that site there is a little banner that says

"fox sports austrailia 2016 (c)"

"powered by wordpress"

Mark Buffalo

At least take that out!

kalina

...well I found it funny

Rоry McCune

20:32

@kalina lolz, it's amazing at what sites end up being wordpress these days

Mark Buffalo

@kalina Me too

Rоry McCune

@MarkBuffalo I love getting wordpress reviews to do, they almost inevitably end up being "here's the wordpress hardening guide you should've followed"

Mark Buffalo

@RоryMcCune lol. As a tester of pens, do you fix their problems, or tell them how to fix it?

I usually fix their problems... setup/code/configuration/etc, but I feel like that might be in the minority

Rоry McCune

@MarkBuffalo we tell them how they could fix it, if they want to. We never make changes to customer systems

Mark Buffalo

ah

kalina

20:34

@MarkBuffalo whenever I'm writing up my experiences with penetration testing I leave comprehensive feedback of what they could have done to improve their score

Rоry McCune

You never know there could be reasons why they are configured in a given way

and we almost never have that context

Mark Buffalo

@kalina I knew you were a haxor

Rоry McCune

@kalina is that a euphemism?

Mark Buffalo

@RоryMcCune ah, that's a very good point. I am currently aware of why things are configured in x way, etc

Zachiel

let's browse for how to harden joomla

kalina

20:35

@RоryMcCune no actually, those exact words with no change result in the sentence I was making

JukEboX

@kalina you do pen testing?

Mark Buffalo

@kalina ...I just got what you mean, but only because @RоryMcCune brought it up

kalina

I think perhaps we may be talking about different things though

Rоry McCune

@kalina ... yes

kalina

the most frequent feedback I give is "your effort was wasted and could have easily been achieved with automated processes"

Rоry McCune

20:37

@kalina lolz

Mark Buffalo

@kalina wow

That's an ouch

JukEboX

I need to do a site redesign @kalina taking clients?

After I finish the redesign I want to test it

kalina

I don't have a desk to facedesk against

Rоry McCune

@kalina didn't you know you were actually a website designer?

JukEboX

@kalina LOL Do you read Sara C Andersen?

Rоry McCune

20:39

@kalina here was you thinking you were a music producer

kalina

srsface

JukEboX

Oh jeez what did I say wrong now?

kalina

nothing, it was just some coordinated silence treatment

that's what happens when an entire internet room full of people are laughing at your expense

Gilles

@RoryAlsop we can, since a few weeks ago (there's a new “redact” button in the revision history)

JukEboX

@kalina then correct me.

kalina

20:44

JukEboX

Can't see it

kalina

well, I can, so your loss

Rоry McCune

@kalina heh

kalina

Rоry McCune

ahh I see

kalina

20:47

Zachiel

I'm oh so using the last one.

kalina

vs

JukEboX

21:04

ZzzzZzz

Rory Alsop

@Gilles - thanks for that. I didn't see that notification

@kalina but that doesn't happen with guys

JukEboX

?

Zachiel

@RoryAlsop True. It's mostly indifference.

Ohnana

@kalina lmao

Simon

21:39

@kalina Happens to me all the time.

Rory Alsop

21:51

@Zachiel pretty much

TildalWave

22:24

@kalina conclusion is really bad, should be "all this attention, I'm awesome"

Mark Buffalo

23:10

@DavidFreitag Are you... are you alive?

David Freitag

@MarkBuffalo Yeah, why?

Mark Buffalo

@AviD Btw, they got back to us and righted any perceived wrongs. <3

David Freitag

we got like 8" of snow

Mark Buffalo

@DavidFreitag That's what Ygritte said, amritie?

David Freitag

@MarkBuffalo I have no idea what you're talking about

Mark Buffalo

23:11

Oh.

schroeder

@DavidFreitag "You know nothing, David Friday"

David Freitag

@schroeder I live at the bottom of the ocean, it;s not like we have libraries

schroeder

@DavidFreitag do you have HBO?

David Freitag

@schroeder I don't even have cable

Mark Buffalo

@DavidFreitag Well, do you want spoilers?

For Game of Thrones

David Freitag

23:14

My memory is so bad even if you did tell me I'd forget by the time I decided to finally download that show

schroeder

the books, man, the books - just wow

Kindle!

Mark Buffalo

um

so anyway

@DavidFreitag John Snow is a man in the Game of Thrones tv show... he becomes the lover of a woman named Ygritte

Get the joke now?

David Freitag

There was a joke?

Mark Buffalo

I...

I'm... I just... I can't

@DavidFreitag Glad you're still alive </no-sarcasm>

schroeder

@MarkBuffalo I laughed

JukEboX

23:31

what I miss?

Iszi

Once you've gotten much bigger than 1080p, it's time to give up on finding wallpapers of any specific kind that are in your native resolution - isn't it?

(Nevermind looking for those wallpapers in a native resolution with "portrait" orientation.)

JukEboX

@Iszi I agree

I also want to know you would want to go to movie theaters any more since your home television has 4K in it. So your just paying $12.00 to watch a 3 story tall TV

@DavidFreitag thanks to Microsoft you now have a small data center at the bottom of the ocean with you

Iszi

New phone is 1440x2560. Trying to make it look more or less like the old one, which had a Cortana theme ('cuz, y'know, Windows Phone and all), but there's practically nothing out there that really fits in or near its native resolution.

David Freitag

@JukEboX Yeah but they paid a bunch of seahorses to guard it

Iszi

So, Microsoft is Spongebob's neighbor now?

JukEboX

23:42

@DavidFreitag It is slowly leading to us having our own SeaLab 2021

Journeyman Geek

"He lives in a datacenter under the seeeeeeeeeaaaaa"

David Freitag

@Iszi Microsoft isn't the only one...

JukEboX

@JourneymanGeek lOLOL

Journeyman Geek

lol

JukEboX

@Iszi yes its bill gates in a air bulb he can't leave

Journeyman Geek

23:42

@Iszi I run 2180p x2 ._.

1440p is not bad tho

JukEboX

@JourneymanGeek 1920x1080 on 2 monitors?

Journeyman Geek

Naw

UHD x2 ;p

JukEboX

I'm confused

OH

Journeyman Geek

@JukEboX I have 2 monitors each doing UHD

One's a cheapie tho

JukEboX

What's the difference? Pixel compression?

Journeyman Geek

23:45

Panel tech and build quality

JukEboX

Oh ok

Journeyman Geek

the cheap one's plain old TN

JukEboX

I am running 1080p on 3x 1920x1084 monitors on mine

Journeyman Geek

this is my secondary ebay.com.sg/itm/…

JukEboX

Can't get to ebay here

Journeyman Geek

23:46

Primary is a P2715Q

JukEboX

NIce

Journeyman Geek

@JukEboX 28 inches, 3 HDMi ports and one DP port, looks yellow unless your angle is perfect.

JukEboX

Weird.

I think that is too big

Journeyman Geek

also

remote control

Iszi

@JourneymanGeek On a phone, not bad at all I'd say.

Journeyman Geek

23:47

naw, for UHD 27-28 inches is the 'optimum' size

JukEboX

Optimum @JourneymanGeek size?

Journeyman Geek

any smaller is overkill at arms length

naw, for UHD

JukEboX

All mine are 22"

Oh man I saw something funny the other day

thinkgeek.com/product/ikrr/?srp=4

A: Will the pixel density difference be visible between 4K and 2K monitors at 27" size?

IMO "sort of". Its definately better and sharper, but native 4k content is pretty rare. I'm looking at a 1080p and a 2180p display right now. I do do some sort of upsampling in my video player for 720p video and it looks fine. (Would screenshots be of help here? I donno). There's a lot of disa...

JukEboX

I love how all of them say Worth It

lol

That is like the argument about the FPS issue. People say they get like 300FPS but the human eye can only really render like 60FPS so anything over that is kind of retarded

Mark Buffalo

23:53

@JourneymanGeek Had both screens. Both are very distinct

I have a 4k and had a 2560. Pixel density difference is like night and day

Journeyman Geek

@JukEboX after a couple of months with 4k...

You notice the pixels on a 1080p

Mark Buffalo

I can't go back to non 4k

I can only go up

Journeyman Geek

and its rediculously sharp

even on the shitty one

Mark Buffalo

Yup. What brand do you have?

Mine is Upstar

diagprov

Is this now the pixel density enthusiasm room? I am in!!

Journeyman Geek

23:54

Crossover

See the fleabay link ;p

Mark Buffalo

Was only like $299? Or something

Journeyman Geek

this was 350USD including shipping ;p

Mark Buffalo

< Pixel density enthusiast. Not worshipper

JukEboX

@MarkBuffalo returns

Mark Buffalo

@JukEboX ?

JukEboX

23:55

You disappeared for a bit

Mark Buffalo

Oh yeah. Was playing with my son

diagprov

Anyway I agree totally. I intend to replace my current monitor and graphics card for something with a stupid number of pixels just because it is so nice.

Mark Buffalo

Still am, actually

Journeyman Geek

You do need a beefy system tho

Mark Buffalo

My system is crap

Need to build a new one

Journeyman Geek

23:59

Main system has a 980TI (which is probably the most powerful video card you can buy other than a titan)

Mark Buffalo

760 GTX here

Runs wow @ 4k no problem

Journeyman Geek

That said, my new home server does 4K30, and its a shitty little brasswell ;p
