The DMZ

@DavidFreitag Shame, should have spent that on booze.

David Freitag

03:23

@TerryChia Funny story, my family thinks I'm a severe binge drinking alcoholic and in desperate need of rehab.

Terry Chia

@DavidFreitag That's not funny.

David Freitag

03:40

@TerryChia Not too big into sarcasm?

Terry Chia

@DavidFreitag You might have a problem, it's no time to be sarcastic. ;)

David Freitag

05:31

@TerryChia No but seriously I really don't. People think that just because I have a refrigerator full of alcohol that I'm an alcoholic.

Also in other news there's this:

USB Condom prototype

1.275"x0.750"

Terry Chia

05:48

@DavidFreitag Sure. You can't deny there's a big overlap between people with fridge full of alcohol and alcoholics though. ;)

David Freitag

06:03

@TerryChia If I were an alcoholic, I wouldn't have a fridge full, I'd have drank it all. And I should say the fridge in question is a mini dorm-sized one not a full size.

Terry Chia

06:21

This is very interesting: googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.sg/2014/08/…

Looks like Google is adding HTTPS support to their search ranking algorithms.

Rory Alsop

07:53

@DavidFreitag One of my fridges is just for alcohol...

As is one of my freezers

Terry Chia

@RoryAlsop Yeah, but you are a Scot. That's normal.

Rory Alsop

This doesn't make me an alcoholic - it just indicates I had space in my garage when someone threw out some white goods :-)

Adnan

09:15

So, apparently, JSFiddle was being massively DDoSed yesterday

For some reason, many fiddles created yesterday were lost

I don't see why a DDoS would do that

Terry Chia

@Adnan Someone obviously wants to screw with your work.

@Adnan They were using MongoDB maybe? ;)

Adnan

@TerryChia :D

Shit! I've just noticed.. even fiddles created two days ago were also lost.. jsfiddle.net/m7L4P

Yeah, I see how restoring old backups can solve DDoS issues

Terry Chia

@Adnan Heh, I was just about to suggest that.

Adnan

That time you're trying to glean from StackOverflow answers, but everyone uses JsFiddle and JsFiddle's server is down :/

Tweeted by matt_salzer on August 6, 2014 at 3:31 PM

and that's why people need to include important parts of the code in the answer

Ooh.. they even disabled the "Save" option!

Terry Chia

@Adnan Nah, Stack Exchange should clearly buy JsFiddle.

Actually, how cool would it be if StackOverflow supports REPL for common languages?

FEichinger

09:22

@Adnan Could it be that they were getting spammed with new fiddles? Would explain restoring the DB.

Adnan

@FEichinger Hmm.. very likely

Wrong link

Aug 14 '13 at 18:11, by Adnan

It can be KeepAss

Found it!

Maaan.. why would anybody DDoS JSFiddle. They're very nice people

and I don't see any possible gain

or political motivation

Terry Chia

@Adnan Someone was bored and decided to relief their boredom?

Maybe @kalina did it.

Adnan

@TerryChia I don't think @alkalaina has the knowledge or the power to do it.

Terry Chia

@Adnan You don't need knowledge. You just need money.

I hear botnets for rent are pretty cheap nowadays.

Adnan

NOOOOOOOOO!

> All anon fiddles created after July 26th are by now considered spammy.. We will resurrect them after filtering out the 99% of real spam.

Oh, and @FEichinger you were right

FEichinger

09:31

@Adnan I dare say she may well have both.

(If only by proxy.)

Adnan

@FEichinger Ahhh, man. You're gonna keep doing this S/M thing?

FEichinger

@Adnan This ... actually has nothing to do with that at all.

Adnan

@FEichinger Alright

Rory Alsop

@Adnan S/M?

Adnan

Ooooh... now it all makes sense! The JsFiddle DDoS now explains this stackoverflow.com/posts/16565587/revisions

Two days ago, by accident, I came across an SO answer (one year old, unedited) with a link to a spammy JSFiddle

It contained HTML redirection to some boner pill site

Terry Chia

09:36

@Adnan Did you buy any?

Adnan

but but but.. you see, given that the post hasn't been edited, so the link is the same one posted by the answerer

and the fiddle didn't have a revision number

Given that.. I don't think this was a DDoS attack.

Somebody actually hacked them

kalina

why don't you like me, @Adnan?

Adnan

@kälina I do like you.

kalina

no

Terry Chia

@Adnan inb4 jealous @FEichinger.

FEichinger

09:38

@TerryChia ... What? No.

kalina

you know that there is nothing going on between @FEichinger and I, right?

Adnan

@TerryChia More like, inb4 S'ed @FEichinger

@kalina On your side, I'm sure of that.

kalina

sigh

FEichinger

@Adnan Would you stop that?

Adnan

@FEichinger Ask @Alkiina

She brought it up

1 min ago, by kalina

you know that there is nothing going on between @FEichinger and I, right?

You want me to say nothing to that?

FEichinger

09:40

@Adnan You are the one who's constantly claiming this bullshit about me.

And I'm getting sick of it, so,**** off, will ya.

Rory Alsop

@kalina heh

Adnan

@FEichinger Did it 2 times in the past, and now the 3rd. True.

Not gonna stop in the future

Constantly? Not really. That's only in your head

kalina

normally I'd be happy at men going to war over me since it thins out the population

Adnan

3 times over 5-6 months is acceptable

kalina

but this is basically IRC, there's no point.

I actually came here to ask a question and now I've forgotten what it was

that could have been an important question as well

Rory Alsop

09:42

@Adnan it appears not, as it annoys @FEi, so please don't

kalina

the repercussions could be huge.

Rory Alsop

@kalina if it was important you'll remember it

Adnan

@kalina Yes, you can use a spoon to spread peanut butter on a bread.

Terry Chia

Did you set an important landmark on fire?

Adnan

@RoryAlsop It's probably not nice. I agree.

kalina

09:44

@RoryAlsop that is not actually always true

I might remember, but I probably won't

FEichinger

@Adnan You're free to think whatever you want about me. You do not need to voice that every time you feel like it, since you're just making shitty assumptions with little basis.

kalina

but assumptions are the best thing ever

wait, no... the other thing

Adnan

@FEichinger How long are you gonna keep bitching about this after we've already reached a settlement?

kalina

10:13

why do you keep misspelling my name?

why do you do that nadan?

nanda why do you do it?

Rory Alsop

@kalina I was waiting for him to repeat himself :-)

kalina

aannd why do you keep doing it?

Terry Chia

@kalina Are you gonna do that for every permutation of his name?

kalina

danna

@TerryChia no I think I'll do a couple more and then get bored

I guess that is fundamentally my core problem

everybody knows that I get bored too easily so they're never bothered

anything annoying I do only ever makes it through a couple of iterations before I get bored of it and move on

I've been rewatching dexter recently

picking up tips

Terry Chia

@kalina Train a machine learning algorithm to do stuff for you.

kalina

10:16

@TerryChia heh, I have a full blown AI I wrote at school

Terry Chia

Or hire people on Mechanical Turk. "0.01c for every 100 annoying messages in The DMZ!"

@kalina Did you name him Jarvis?

kalina

no

Adnan

@RoryAlsop Soo many variations you can make with @alkäina's name.

kalina

after spending a large period of time mining bitcoins back in the early days of bitcoin it learned the market trends and started accurately predicting plummets in value

so now it just buys low and sells high

I used the millions I generated that way to go back in time and buy 75% of Apple in 1997 for less than 50000€

which as you know, is how I became a billionaire at 17

Rory Alsop

^ true story

Terry Chia

10:20

@kalina Wrong. If you own 75% of Apple you will piss off Steve Jobs enough that he won't return to the company so Apple stock remains worthless.

kalina

It was my idea to purchase next

steve was grateful to get his company back

and I am now the proud owner of his super yacht

it certainly is warm out here in the med

Terry Chia

^ Kids, this is what happens when you consume too much drugs.

Rory Alsop

heh - that works well on the star wall

kalina

@TerryChia that's not fair

the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do

Terry Chia

@kalina Most of the time they are just crazy.

kalina

10:25

no

it's fine, you live your life doing what your boss wants you to do

don't question anything

Terry Chia

@kalina Go take the retarded test.

kalina

just do as you're told

it's quite a jump to go from crazy to retarded

Terry Chia

►

kalina

even text based communication reveals enough about me to conclude I'm not retarded

Lucas Kauffman

Adnan

10:39

@LucasKauffman Are they saying that a woman is worth eight pigs?

Lucas Kauffman

@Adnan yea

Adnan

Sent an email to jsFiddle about that strange thing

Let's see if I'll get any answer

Well, that was fast. They answered.

kalina

10:58

obviously they didn't just admit to being hacked

Adnan

@kalina They actually provided a very plausible explanation.

kalina

sounds like a cover story

they certainly wouldn't want news of their breach to make it onto the internetwebspipestube

Rory Alsop

11:14

@kalina differently focused to the dmz norms, yes. Retarded, no.

Adnan

My friend opened a webpage and the advertisement banner said "Fix Java Faster.. blah blah". He works with Java and usually searches for stuff like that

He gave me the link to see which ad I'd see

> 5000+ Thai women looking for love.

What the shit?!

Rory Alsop

hahahaha

Adnan

I don't even like East Asian women

Rory Alsop

@Adnan that's a bit sexist

:-P

Adnan

@RoryAlsop Okay.. I don't like all non-Caucasian Asian women

Better?

Rory Alsop

11:24

@Adnan hahahaha

Lucas Kauffman

11:41

@Adnan tbf, I've seen some really nice creatures here in SG

Terry Chia

11:54

Best song ever: abad1dea.tumblr.com/post/66054805317/…

It won a Pwnie award this year.

Journeyman Geek

12:08

@LucasKauffman: I probably should feel some national pride about that ;p

kalina

@LucasKauffman "creatures"

@RoryAlsop totally differently focussed, I don't even know why I'm in here.

Journeyman Geek

@Adnan: so caucasian asian women are ok?

Kisunminttu

@JourneymanGeek Well I certainly hope so

Terry Chia

You guys remember Twitch Plays Pokemom?

Arperum

12:27

@TerryChia Are you going to post fishplayspokemon now?

Terry Chia

@Arperum Heh. Yes.

Arperum

@TerryChia This newest ridicule of screensavers is available here for others who might be curious.

Adnan

@JourneymanGeek Yes

Journeyman Geek

(do those even exist? ;p)

Adnan

Most people in the Levant fall under that racial-georaphical classification

Journeyman Geek

12:29

Well I suppose eurasians may count, and some are smoking hot.

Adnan

@JourneymanGeek Racially, I'm a mixture between Aryan Caucasian and Semitic Caucasian, and I'm from Asia.

So, yeah, they do exist.

Kisunminttu

@Adnan That's pretty rad, actually

Journeyman Geek

ahh

Adnan

@Kisunminttu Most people in the Northern Levant fall under that racial classification. Especially north western parts of Syria and Lebanon.

Kisunminttu

@Adnan I don't even know what I fall under

Adnan

12:34

That's why I always find it funny and ridiculous when somebody from, say, Hungary expresses race-based hatred towards, say, the Jews. I mean, they're basically racial siblings.

Terry Chia

@Kisunminttu Hopefully human.

Kisunminttu

@TerryChia Yeah I think I got that one covered...

Adnan

@TerryChia She's Polyesterian Cottonian.

You know, because she's a sock

Kisunminttu

@Adnan I'm taking this as my thing now.

Journeyman Geek

@Adnan: cause racism is inherently stupid ;p

Kisunminttu

12:37

@Adnan My mother is 100% Cottonian, but due to the immigration of Polyesterians my mother met her "better sock" and then I was born! There are rumors that I have some Lycranian in my blood, though.

3

Adnan

@Kisunminttu Whoa! I had no idea I'm involved with a highborn

Kisunminttu

@Adnan Think about that the next time you... ummm...

I better not.

Adnan

@Kisu By the way, I think the 100% Cottonian message is the first star I give you.

Kisunminttu

@Adnan That's kinda sad...

Adnan

@Kisunminttu It's not. It's an occasion for happiness and celebration

Kisunminttu

12:40

@Adnan Oh.

Terry Chia

The star wall is rather amusing now.

Adnan

@TerryChia Hehehehe

Kisunminttu

Whoa. It sounds like I've eaten special brownies for breakfast.

Adnan

@Kisunminttu Don't you always eat brownies for breakfast?

and lunch?

and dinner?

Terry Chia

@Adnan So we can expect you and @Kisunminttu to be missing from The DMZ for 15 minutes? ;)

Adnan

12:43

@TerryChia Oh, please. 2 minutes

Including foreplay

Terry Chia

@Adnan I was trying to be nice. :(

Kisunminttu

@Adnan It feels much longer than that

Terry Chia

@Kisunminttu That generally isn't a good thing. ;)

Adnan

@Kisunminttu It's actually 1 minute

Terry Chia

Also, TWSS.

Adnan

12:44

but you're sleeping most of the time, so

Kisunminttu

@Adnan I love every second of it :*

Adnan

@Kisunminttu You mean every 57 seconds of it?

Kisunminttu

@Adnan Nuh-uh.

Terry Chia

Okaaaaaaaay. The DMZ has officially reached its weirdness quota for the day.

3

kalina

you quota that stuff?

@Kisunminttu time slows down as you reach critical boredom

Simon

12:56

It's the daiiiiilyyyyy houuuuurr! She's now nice to everyone!

kalina

...

kalina

13:35

oh the dramatic lives of the people I know

poor individual has been arguing with some form of tech support

decided I was the right person to bitch to while I'm trying to enjoy spongebob squarepants

Simon

HE LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA

kalina

she wants the guy to tell her what is wrong with her pc or laptop or something

wasn't really listening

wouldn't let him go near it

I asked how she could reasonably expect anybody to fix something when their description of the problem is "it doesn't work" and everything else is irate whining

and now I'm watching spongebob again

I think I am going to make milkshakes

or better

I think I'm going to go to KFC and get skittles krushems

Simon

You gotta be fat.

kalina

no

Simon

Then I get you're as lucky as I am and can pretty much eat whatever and never get fat.

kalina

13:41

maybe it has to do with dancing

Simon

Could be.

kalina

no I said dancing, not jumping up and down

Simon

Oh, my bad.

My last legit dancing session was Sunday though.

Jumping up and down would be yesterday.

Showtek will be in town on August 31st \o/

But of course they won't be playing Hardstyle #fml

AJ Henderson

so... apparently DNSSEC is a major PITA, atleast on windows

Rоry McCune

14:10

afternoon all

Simon

morning

Xander

@RоryMcCune Morning!

Rоry McCune

:op sill American continent people

Saw a couple of people with a really great job this morning... I was out on a boat on the loch and got passed by a couple of police speed launches..

basically their jobs are to speed up and down pretty scottish lochs (or that's what it looked like to me....)

Lucas Kauffman

boobies

Terry Chia

@LucasKauffman Star whore.

Rory Alsop

14:15

@RоryMcCune that's got to be a step up from the police on the Norfolk Broads...whose job is to stop people from going over the 4 knot speed limit

Lucas Kauffman

@TerryChia I didn't choose the boobie life, the boobie life chose me!

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop well the little day boat we were in was a bit faster than the broads boats, it went up to 8mph!! these guys were a lot faster than that

@RoryAlsop I've seen them about before, patrolling the Qinetiq platform on the loch

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune A pen tester job is pretty great as well. :P You get to complain about how stupid people are and have excuses to drink alcohol during the work day.

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia but we have to write 100 page reports about it! and deal with customers rescheduling tests which is a PITA

Simon

That's called an alcohol problem.

Stop talking about pitas, I'm hungry.

Terry Chia

14:19

@RоryMcCune Try mixing things up when writing reports by being snarky.

"How would @ThomasPornin write this?" is a good benchmark.

4

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia "for those tests where you never want to hear from the customer again"

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune "My grandmother's Windows XP PC is more secure than that!"

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia I once had to suggest to someone that they removed the phrase "This network has poor IT Hygiene"

Lucas Kauffman

@RоryMcCune we started putting clauses in contracts about late rescheduling

Terry Chia

"Your code is a fine example of the phrase 'You can write PHP in any language'!"

Rоry McCune

14:23

@LucasKauffman absolutely needs to be there otherwise a lot of companies will take the micky. Especially bad when you're a sub-contractor as you may never see the work after it gets re-scheduled...

Lucas Kauffman

indeed

Terry Chia

Looks like Black Hat Asia is gonna clash with Syscan next year...

Adnan

14:38

@LucasKauffman Yeah, they might be objectively attractive, or other people might find them attractive. They're just not my cup of tea,

AJ Henderson

@Simon that is either delicious or gross depending on which way I choose to take that

@TerryChia Windows 95

Terry Chia

What is a good time amount to spend hashing passwords on production sites?

Simon

I was 4 in 95.

AJ Henderson

@Simon ok, now I actually don't like you ;)

Simon

:D

AJ Henderson

14:42

shouldn't you be in preschool or something

6

Simon

wat

AJ Henderson

(I'm just having denial about the fact of how old someone born in 91 is)

Terry Chia

@AJHenderson I can't see the other end of this conversation but I'm just going to star this anyway.

Simon

Terry: bragging about ignoring me since 2014.

AJ Henderson

though it isn't quite as depressing as a year ago when I realized when I was working at a middle school conference that nobody there was born when I had originally started working with that particular conference

Simon

14:46

I already feel old, I bet 30 will be hard on me.

It feels like I was 18 moments ago.

AJ Henderson

it isn't actually that bad, the best part is making jokes about how young people should be :)

Simon

lulz I'm so gonna do that

Lucas Kauffman

@rorym does marion enjoy whisky?
