I'm loving KeePass... thanks for pointing me in its direction.
KeePass is indeed great
wtf
ARF-15?
@MarkBuffalo lol
would be even more badass if they attached them to the end of their rifles, bayonet style
barkonet style
no, thats bad
lol
lunch walk. latercakes
16:19
@MarkBuffalo no cakes for you, if you're trying to lose weight!
@AviD yup...
14 hours ago, by TildalWave
@MarkBuffalo FWIW I VTC-ed as unclear, can't help it if 3 people before thought it belongs on SO and it was auto-migrated (even tho it clearly should be)
s/should/shouldn't
same thing right? :D
16:40
Yeah. And when I see the bear answer, I upvote it, then start reading. Thanks for everything you do. The moderators here don't like thank you comments but in this case they should get an exception. — void_in 5 mins ago

Moderators have a reputation of merciless slaying of "thank you" comments, apparently.
@ThomasPornin Did you cry?
@Simon Why so ?
@ThomasPornin Emotion overload.
@ThomasPornin @ThomasPornin for what is Worth, please accept a thank you by me, too. Really, I have learned many things from your posts.
@Simon They merely offer the level of worship that is due to my magnificence.
16:43
@ThomasPornin Please consider thanking me. Without clueless people like me, you wouldn't be able to educate the world, which is a need you would not be able to fulfil.
ok, have to go now. Thanks everybody for the advices and the links shared.
@RоryMcCune /internal sadness
I can't believe that pornu is not thanking me.
Is it just me that doesn't answer questions where the OP has started being passive-aggressive at commenters trying to get sufficient information from them to be able to answer properly?
@Matthew occasionally i will
i try not to get involved in comment slapfights
i just silently incorporate their criticism.
16:57
For example
Now I don't want to be a part of that stupid attack once again and would like to keep myself and surf the internet anonymously without being heckled with.....Now do you need any further info and would you like to help me out here — ChandraShekhar 49 mins ago
@Simon It is like hitting your own head with a hammer. It feels sooo good when you stop...
ô_ô
Did you guys hear that? Pornu is into BDSM.
@Simon Good for him
@RоryMcCune They are later cakes, so I'll eat them after I lose weight.
@TildalWave Yeah, I was confused by that
@Matthew I know, right? He's so comfortable with it that he's willing to share it in a public chat room.
17:02
@Matthew It is useful to remember that in any Internet-based communication system, you always have the option not to respond.
@ThomasPornin For some reason, you often make that choice when I say stupid shit to you.
@Simon It is a nice thing that you noticed a pattern. At least 43% of tested chimpanzees did not.
@ThomasPornin I tend not to, once they've done that. Just wondered if I was the only one!
I knew I was more intelligent than chimpanzees. TAKE THAT, MOM!
@Matthew I refuse to answer those questions
It's bad when you have people commenting in a passive aggressive way
17:11
@MarkBuffalo sorry, I missed it back then
@ThomasPornin Are you ready to answer another question?
@MarkBuffalo I am always ready to answer questions, but some questions are not worth answering.
OMG. Am I reading this DROWN thing right? Export ciphers strike again?!
@ThomasPornin Well, I'd like to ask about CacheBleed
@Iszi It is worse than that: it is SSL 2.0 striking again !
@MarkBuffalo Can be done.
17:13
@Iszi Welcome to 4 hours in the past, how may I help you?
@ThomasPornin Well, that too. But would it really be as easy without export ciphers?
@Iszi The attack as described would work but more expensively with a 56-bit DES cipher suite.
But SSL 2.0 was already deprecated and not to be used before the US export regulations were lifted.
@ThomasPornin How's the weather in QC city right now?
@Simon Blue sky, brilliant Sun on the sparkling snow.
@ThomasPornin Ok, same here.
17:15
-13⁰C, a bit of wind.
We're supposed to get ~5 cm in the late afternoon/evening, then 15-20 cm during the night and again 5 cm in the morning.
That's gonna suck.
Forecast for the next 24 hours: blizzard, 25 cm of snow tonight, plus an extra 15 cm tomorrow.
Complementing the 15 cm we got yesterday.
Daaaamn.
Ok nevermind, we're fine here then.
Tomorrow I'll telecommute.
sunny here c:
17:18
No point in getting here anyway, there will be nobody to meet.
I might have to do that but I hate it.
If I had a room dedicated to a proper workspace at home, I'm sure I'd enjoy it.
But it is not the case, unfortunately.
When I was working at home, I had a dedicated office room.
@Simon my eternal struggle. my apartment is one room!
Looks like Jan's still on about glibc. Hasn't updated ITIOF for DROWN yet.
If you're always working from home, you absolutely need a room ONLY for work.

Q: Cache Bank conflicts and CacheBleed: What is there to worry about?

Mark BuffaloIt seems that researchers have announced yet another vulnerability regarding OpenSSL, separate from the DROWN issue, called CacheBleed. You can view the research paper here. What exactly should people worry about here?

@Ohnana 2 rooms + bathroom here -.-
It's a loft.
@Simon oh well lookit this fancy pants with two rooms
Not really suited for two people but we're doing it anyway.
4
@Ohnana Hahaha.
@Simon i mean i live with someone in a studio
it's... intimate
:|
@Ohnana Yeah no shit.
17:21
yes shit!
@MarkBuffalo I am sending bear #2.
Excellent
flegged as too broad.
@Iszi NO EX ONE
Who just star'd that? ffs
17:23
Not me.
@SEJPM I stole your bonus question idea

Q: File Recovery on Sony Vaio DUO 13 lost bitlocker key

M.C. OLEGARIOI would like to seek help from the experts. I am a M.I.S. Staff of a certain Government office and I have this problem when an offic emate of mine asked me to recover his files from his SONY VAIO DUO 13 laptop. The problem is that his drive is encrypted with bitlocker. It can't even go into boo...

government systems worker doesn't know what the fuck bitlocker is
GG
I was about to post this, @Ohnana
note this in particular:
> I am a M.I.S. Staff of a certain Government office
anyway with all this drown/SSLv2 nonsense, it's ok it's not like anyone is actually still using it
@RоryMcCune HAHA
hmm 4,000,000 results
oh
17:28
Master of Information Security of a certain Government office
my dentist was using windows xp this morning
@MarkBuffalo also "information system"
@RоryMcCune Lol.
@Ohnana did you give him the line about trading dental hygiene for IT hygiene
@Ohnana Yeah, it could be information systems too. My degree path was CIS, and it feels like garbage.
@RоryMcCune eh, i wasn't too moticated
it was my first time there
17:29
@Ohnana tell him that running XP is like drinking 3 cans of full-sugar coke for a week and not brushing your teeth
I ended up teaching myself all the latest stuff that they weren't teaching
@RоryMcCune huehuehuehu
@RоryMcCune I used to do that, and didn't get cavities
i'm not there anymore
@MarkBuffalo I thought you didn't like/drink sugar?
17:30
USED TO
@RоryMcCune So I'm thinking of getting an iPhone
Gonna wait and see how the Apple situation pans out first, though
@MarkBuffalo shhh @Simon might hear you
@RоryMcCune Oops, sorry... iPhone >>>>> Android. oh crap, I did it again
ffs roro I'm not hating iOS, if he wants to spend that much for the device, good for him.
However, not understanding that Android may be perfect for some people is wrong.
@Simon Same cost as an equivalent Samsung, though
@MarkBuffalo I wouldn't dare to get a Samsung.
17:33
@Simon I've never said that :op
@RоryMcCune I'm not saying you did :p
(phew I got out of this one)
Currently using a $30 crap smartphone
@Simon pls, somon, there's this thing called implied statements
But yeah, an iPhone would be necessary for development and testing of iOS games
@RоryMcCune 404 CONCEPT NOT FOUND

Hm. I wonder if Jan watches this chat? Looks like istheinternetonfire.com got updated.

A: Cache Bank conflicts and CacheBleed: What is there to worry about?

Tom LeekSide-channel attacks are currently all the rage. The conceptual core idea is that while a cryptographic algorithm is a mathematical object whose inputs and outputs can be expressed in an abstract way, it will also run on some physical hardware somewhere, and that execution may leave traces in var...

@ThomasPornin Thank you. I am reading now
@MarkBuffalo Less talk, more upvotes.
2
I'LL UPVOTE AFTER I READ IT
Take your time. I had repcapped before waking up this morning anyway.
18:01
Brag about it.
@ThomasPornin When's the last time that didn't happen for at least one of your accounts here?
@Iszi Oh, it is relatively common nowadays, since I have reduced my activity. Bear #1 passive rep accumulation is around +110 per day on average, less so on week-ends.
I repcapped daily for weeks at a time
but not anymore. not very active
@ThomasPornin Have you reduced your activity or people are less interested in what you have to say? One has to wonder.
@Simon Truth is I am less interested in the questions that we get nowadays.
I really answer less.
18:05
It is true that we do not get mind-blowing questions these days.
> Do not panic, though, because it is unclear whether cache-based timing attacks are really practical. We have lots of lab demonstration, but no actual usage in the wild has ever been spotted.
@ThomasPornin But what if the cloud hosting provider performs the attacks?
@MarkBuffalo The cloud host can simply make a snapshot of your VM and plunder the keys from there; no need to go all cache-timing for that.
haha
@ThomasPornin I already read up on CacheBank, I just want to whore rep
and your perspective is really appreciated
I missed the rep whore train by mere seconds thanks to @SEJPM
@ThomasPornin The kind of questions I want to answer never really appear on Secse
@MarkBuffalo You can ask them yourself...
Or use some convenient sparring partner.
I am sure @Adi will be happy to ask questions about the NSA, and will totally approve of your answers.
looooool
18:12
@ThomasPornin Actually, my preferred questions are mainly about reverse-engineering malware
I'm sooo turned off by anything related to the NSA because every single paranoid nurd thinks he's a target.
executables, etc
But that mostly belongs on reverseengineering.stackexchange
I don't like asking questions on SE, generally
Welp I have finally moved out
@DavidFreitag Are you in your new home now?
My car is sooo fucking full right now
@MarkBuffalo At this very moment? No. I'm at work.
18:15
@DavidFreitag I hate the packing/unpacking phase
We still have like 7 boxes that haven't been unpacked in 6 months
@MarkBuffalo The packing phase was so brutal
@DavidFreitag Is your entire life stored in your car while it's parked at work?
this apartment is supposed to be temporary until we get a house
@Simon No like 1/20th of my life
18:16
@DavidFreitag Yup, and too easy to make mistakes
@Simon our building is in the middle of the woods in rural Connecticut
It's pretty safe
@DavidFreitag Ok, good then.
I don't even leave koinz in my car because that's "your window is gonna be smashed" material here.
@Simon Even in Canada?
crap. I've left DSLR's in my car, along with laptops, etc... in detroit
and haven't had any issues. luls
@MarkBuffalo When you move out and you still have unpacked boxes from the previous moving in, you can discard the boxes directly. They don't contain anything useful.
@MarkBuffalo I assume that's the case for pretty much any big city around here.
18:17
you don't have guarded parking lots there?
@ThomasPornin Bingo.
@ThomasPornin Yep, pretty much. It means we really didn't need it in the first place
@TildalWave Do I look like a damn millionaire?
@TildalWave I do :-]
@MarkBuffalo Not in Canada, in Montréal. That's a city of reprobates and criminals.
18:18
I know that I'm full of shit but that does not mean that I'm full of cash.
In Québec City it would still be pretty safe.
@Simon how would I know? You certainly behave like an eccentric something
@ThomasPornin I assume it'd be the same case in Toronto.
@Simon That doesn't really happen here unless you park in an obviously bad area
QC city is not even a real city, pls pornu.
@TildalWave WWWWWWOT?
18:19
@Simon In Toronto they are English-speaking reprobates and criminals.
@ThomasPornin I'm not sure how to process the English-speaking part.
@Simon millionaires are usually quite eccentric too ;)
@Simon What ? We have a mayor and everything. Did we miss some bureaucractic step ?
HOW AM I ECCENTRIC?!?
@TildalWave No it's the billionaires you're thinking of
18:20
You are the most insane person in this room, @Simon
@ThomasPornin I tried to spark some MTL-QC rivalry.
And that's saying a lot, coming from me.
Yet I don't even live in MTL.
@MarkBuffalo Yeah, you and your tinfoil onezie
@Simon The doughnut is literally eccentric: by definition, its centre is missing.
7
18:21
o ffs pornu
Those are too clever to be told.
@DavidFreitag well sure, depends on the nominal value or whatever ... back in Yugoslavia we were all billionaires here
Speaking of which, did you install the buttflap in your onezie?
@DavidFreitag Hey now. I've upgraded to a full body suit.
A onesie exposes your arms and legs.
And head
@TildalWave In Serbia in the 1990s they did three successive devaluations by 6 zeros each time. Their currency lost its value by a billion billions.
@TildalWave Yeah sure and I'm a millionaire in vietnam too. I've got over 22 million dong
18:23
That's a lot of dong.
@MarkBuffalo By definition a onesie covers everything
(1 US Dollar equals 22302.00 Vietnamese Dong)
@ThomasPornin yeah we were too glad to have gotten out of that "arrangement"
So, we can conclude that @DavidFreitag has 44,604 dong.
our inflation went almost in an instant from hundreds of thousands of percent to single digit annually
18:24
@MarkBuffalo Yeah, in my dreams. Really I've only got one dong.
Have you seen the guy on reddit that has 2 weens?
TIL I'm a hundred+ millionaire in Vietnam
@TildalWave Say what you will, there are good things in having the same currency as Germany.
and that was despite starting with a new currency
@ThomasPornin ah sure, but that came much later
@Simon No, and I'm perfectly content having not.
18:25
@Iszi What? It is super interesting.
@TildalWave Unlinking your economy from a country that was being actively bombarded was a smart move.
Don't you want to be able to tell your kids at some point that you've seen a picture of a guy with two weens?
@Simon I would prefer not to. We all know you are obsessed with weens... especially double weens.
@Simon Yeah but @Iszi would die of jealousy
@ThomasPornin BTW it Bosnia and Montenegro I think use convertible mark ... so in essence they have the same currency that Germany used to have LOL
18:26
@DavidFreitag o I see.
@TildalWave Didn't they switch to Euro ?
@ThomasPornin that also came later, we were out first, the most of the rest of the shit happened later
@ThomasPornin they would never qualify
Hey, if Québec was its own country, we'd get a new currency?
OH MY GOD MAYBE WE'D STOP SUCKING COMPARED TO THE USD
maybe just piggybacking on it, dunno how that goes
waves the Québec flag
18:27
@Simon Yeah. The ISIS Rupee
pls
@TildalWave No, but they did switch to the Euro. They just did not ask permission from BCE.
Separatist Dollars?
@Simon gets his torch and pitchfork
Montenegro has no currency of its own. From 1996 the Deutsche Mark was the de facto currency in all private and banking transactions and it was formally adopted as Montenegro's currency in November 1999. The mark was replaced by the euro in 2002 without any objections from the European Central Bank (ECB). The European Commission and the ECB have since voiced their discontent over Montenegro's unilateral use of the euro on several occasions, with Amelia Torres, a spokesperson for the European Commission, saying "The conditions for the adoption of the euro are clear. That means, first and foremost...
18:28
@ThomasPornin yeah but they don't issue it or have any control over it whatsoever so in a sense they've just declared OK we won't have our own money
@TildalWave Money is overrated.
Also, Mint thinks $500 is a "low" balance in a checking account.
@DavidFreitag overvalued you mean?
@TildalWave Yes. Exactly the same thing as they did with the Deutschmark before 2002.
When it goes WEEWOOWEEWOO LOW BALANCE LOLOLOLOLOL my brain goes OH SHIT GONNA OVERDRAFT
18:30
Ecuador has the same arrangement with the US dollar
When you are a little country with questionable economic and political stability, it is not a bad bargain.
Ah, that's why the book I was reading kept calling it "marks".
Sometimes I should do some research instead of just being like "okay son".
US dollar is probably way overvalued at the moment... similar was a problem with Euro a few years back and I think I was "complaining" here about it ... then NSA recorded that, sent it by dispatch to Angela Merkel, and things got better :D
@TildalWave No I said what I meant.
18:31
@DavidFreitag Looks useful
@MarkBuffalo pretty useful
Especially since most banking sites are god awful
I don't trust mint at all.
@DavidFreitag OK but that's a personal value system, and we were discussing monetary ones
If all I want to do is check my balance and look at some fancy charts Mint is the shit
as in state economies
18:32
@DavidFreitag I use a spreadsheet
@TildalWave Oh you were taking me seriously...
@MarkBuffalo Yeah but mint does everything for me. That's actual work right there.
@DavidFreitag Work I enjoy... I like to keep busy
@Simon Mint is run by the same people that make TurboTax
@DavidFreitag Does that mean that they know how to security?
I security
You security
He securities
@MarkBuffalo Yeah but you could've used that time for some "fun time" with the wife. Or some vidya games. Or hell you coulda made like ten sammiches
@Simon Yeah cause I really care if someone sees how poor I am
18:34
poor dovid
One day you'll have some monies.
@DavidFreitag well, I tend to use smileys a lot to relay the sentiment beyond what words alone are capable of doing ... you rarely use any, unless they're really elaborate ones, so it's sometimes hard to say
I had like 4k in my bank account a few months ago
No idea what happened to it
Did you buy anything useful at least?
@TildalWave Yeah I suppose I probably shouldn't try to screw around while you and le bear are having a serious conversation
l'bear
18:35
@Simon Rent, security deposit... rent
So I borrowed a friend's box truck to move all my shit, and when we went to leave we fucked up the grass at the old apartment. The owner is being a total dick about it.
Jon Ericson on March 1, 2016
The US is embroiled in party primary voting which is a good time to talk about the STV system Stack Exchange uses to elect moderators.
Really?! A gif on the blog post? Really?!
me no likey
18:40
I wish we could kick the SE bot.
By "we" I mean not me.
@StackExchange Seriously, talking about voting mechanics without a CGP Grey link? Lame.
He did it so much better anyway.
@ThomasPornin exactly, too much corruption, no sense of fiscal responsibility of the public sector, difficulties in balancing tax income and maintaining competitive economy,.. no fiscal control, so no point in having your own currency
@Iszi CGP Grey?
Also many other videos of interest.
it gets pretty straightforward once you realize where money gets its value from
18:42
@Iszi Meh boring
@TildalWave In a sense, even big European countries like France and Germany have surrendered their monetary sovereignty, so Montenegro is not worse off doing the same.
nobody really knows who they're voting for
people just go in and randomly press buttons that show "republican" or "democrat" on them
there are like 50 different people to vote for
who the hell has time to learn about 50 different campaigners? "I'll just press 'Republican/Democrat!'"
In smaller towns, sure... fine. But in larger population areas, no way. I've voted in both, and the difference is staggering
@MarkBuffalo I don't even bother voting.
@ThomasPornin only partially tho, there's still control over it, it's just shared... especially for big players like France, certainly less so for a small country like Slovenia... it has one interesting positive side-effect tho in that fiddling with it becomes really hard so it's not done, which only improves stability in the long run
the rest is then free economy
@TildalWave I've actually been thinking about those doughnuts for the last few days :(
18:46
@MarkBuffalo what doughnuts? :O
Driving down the street... ptsd clarinet boy flashbacks of those lovely doughnuts.
You linked a picture of Slovenian doughnuts
DID YOU ALREADY FORGET
ah hahah yeah I forgot about it
@MarkBuffalo wat
we just had our "doughnut season" so I'm a bit overfed with them for a while
link the photography-taken photograph for @DavidFreitag to see
18:48
basically, here for the carnival season, it's traditional to eat doughnuts and loads of them
and similar things, and generally eating like pigs
@TildalWave See, I don't even do that myself and you guys say I'm obsessed about donuts.
LINK THE DOUGHNUTS YOU PIG
You're all a bunch of donuts.
@TildalWave Spider pig, spider pig. Does whatever a spider pig does.
Fine. I will do it
The diabeetus is strooooooooong with her. palpatines
18:51
She has great... tracks of land
it coincides so the pagan part (the carnival, the feasting,...) is just before lent (the six weeks before Easter, the fasting)
wait. you're all involved in drunken pagan donut debauchery before repenting and lenting?
yes, crazy huh? :)
drunken donut debauchery
@MarkBuffalo Oh is that @Tilda's wife?
18:52
@MarkBuffalo that describes it pretty well actually LOL
@MarkBuffalo Gotta have something to repent about.
@RoraΖ Watch out, ovid is gonna say you're disrespectful to women.
@MarkBuffalo Those things are as big as my head!
3
@DavidFreitag no, but she does look a bit similar looking at the thumbnail... not so much if I click on it
@DavidFreitag Oooh, are we talking about boobs again finally?
18:55
@Iszi No, but we can talk about you if you really want
@Simon I'm disrespectful to everyone, not just women.
@RoraΖ That's exactly my case.
Like if I meet pornu, does he really think that I'm going to use the polite "you"?
Nah, he's getting a buddy "you".
If I ever meet @ThomasPornin, I'm going to kidnap him and take him away to a research facility to extract his knowledge, and upload it into my brainsocket. It would probably cause a brain overflow vulnerability and allow remote pornin execution to occur, allowing him to take control of my body.
Adi
Adi
@MarkBuffalo We have an SE site for that
Adi
Adi
18:58
Where you have literally 0 answers
But I find most of their comments/answers to be incredibly boring
and not my type
Adi
Adi
Yeah, I see your point
You probably want questions about correlations and complex charts.
No, that's data analysis... and it isn't something I'd post about... openly.
On the fence about this one....Is a valuable tag?
