My New Year's resolution for 2014-54-12/30/14 Dec:12:1420001642 is to learn these stupid time formatting strings.

kalina

08:58

I'm going to figure out what email is as well

or at least, figure out a method of reliably checking all of them without adding them all to my phone

suppose I had best go do my thing

Kisunminttu

09:26

I'm about to make a big mistake

But I can't help it

I'm too weak to stop myself

I'm going to visit reddit:nosleep... and read all the horrifying creepy stories and then think about them at night, when I'm home alone, in the dark, wrapped inside my blanket, all scared and sweaty.

kalina

are you unable to sleep?

Kisunminttu

@kalina unable to fall asleep if my mind starts thinking about all the scary stuff that's freaked me out

Rory Alsop

@Kisunminttu ooh - brilliant. Thankyou - I hadn't heard of that one

Kisunminttu

@RoryAlsop start with this: reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1compp/6302967536

All of the stories from that "series" (more of a phenomenon, really) are so creepy and awesome

Rory Alsop

@Kisunminttu read a few - mildly amusing, but they don't creep me out at all

I need a good proper scary story to enjoy the fear

Kisunminttu

09:42

@RoryAlsop Juust a moment...

kalina

I don't like the feeling of fear

no stop distracting me whyamIonredditwtf

Kisunminttu

@RoryAlsop found it: reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/2dzrui/…

@kalina here's a subreddit for those moments when you're feeling bored: reddit.com/r/coolguides

kalina

I don't use reddit

ever

don't worry though, chances are with such a blunt and largely irrational refusal to do something that there is an alternative me that uses reddit and never uses stack exchange

@Kisunminttu this is worse than tvtropes.

kalina

10:30

I'm glad it isn't as comprehensive as tvtropes

Terry Chia

14:25

Goddammit should I wake up at 8am just for a hat? ponders

Lighty

14:40

@TerryChia Better reason to wake up than work

Rory Alsop

@Kisunminttu - mildly puzzling, but no scare... Sorry

:-)

Hello

Can you help me

Q: Negotiate n-bits key with Diffie-Hellman protocol (or other key exchange protocol)

I've got ASCII message. I convert it to binary - then I've got 8*(ASCII message length) bits - let us assume this value will be called n. I have to negotiate key, which length (after conversion to binary) will be equal to n. Is there any possibilty to do that? Do I have to choose specific random ...

I didn't help since quite long time

DO you have any ideas

?

kalina

15:35

yes

I have lots of ideas

Rоry McCune

@kalina aren't you meant to be on a plane at the moment?

kalina

no

soon(tm)

Rоry McCune

@kalina wow, last-minutesville

kalina

I don't want to arrive too early, I might do something I regret.

like spill coke and then coke down my outfit

Rоry McCune

@kalina heh

kalina

15:38

I'm also attempting to get something in place to automatically send messages to chat at midnight utc

because... hats

I have totally messed up today though, somehow I've went from reddit to tvtropes and basically haven't finished yet

Rоry McCune

@kalina ahh, good to see you have your priorities right tho'

kalina

today was supposed to be nice and relaxing, not spent absorbing tvtropes

you're all a bad influence on me

Rоry McCune

@kalina hey it was @Kisunminttu who recommended that /r/ place

kalina

yes but it's not like you haven't all linked me to one of these places at some point

Rоry McCune

@kalina hmmm possibly, I did link a collegehumor video the other day

Terry Chia

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia seen it :op

and the fact I'm not logged in to youtube and that vid has an age filter, stops me going on another collegehumour binge :op

kalina

right, I suppose I should go drive to the airport

my brain is full of tvtropes, I feel so drained

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune Well, duh. :)

It's still one of my favourites.

Collegehumor has sadly gotten really bad lately.

kalina

have a merry new year or whatever you celebrate at the time of celebration for your current geographical location!

AviD

not everyone celebrates anything

kalina

15:51

those people can ignore my previous statement

AviD

yay

thats okay, I usually do anyway

@TerryChia minesweeper is still one of the best ever.

Terry Chia

@AviD Ahh I think I remember that one.

I actually like the space troopers series a lot.

Happy New Year @TerryChia and the rest of Singapore!

and others in that timezone or earlier ones ...

Thomas

Hello. I heard recently about Steve Gibson's SQRL. I wanted to ask about the security of this, but I see that this older question exists: security.stackexchange.com/questions/43374/… Is it appropriate to basically ask this same question again here a year later? I am wondering if there has been changes that would change the answer.

TildalWave

AviD

@Thomas No changes. Steve Gibson is still a raving idiot.

Thomas

@AviD: I had noticed this: youtube.com/watch?v=PtfFwOYxCnc . Is this just more of the same and nothing new?

AviD

@Thomas sorry I dont have enough built-up stupidity to be able to watch that.

Terry Chia

16:10

@TildalWave Freehand circles +1.

AviD

But I assume its nothing new.

@Thomas FYI attrition.org/errata/charlatan/steve_gibson

Thomas

@AviD: I didn't mean that you should watch it. I was just wondering if there where anything new about it (something that might have caused the talk to take place).

@AviD: Yes, I have already seen that page (it still seems a bit outdated though).

AviD

yeah, sorry, havent bothered looking into that rat hole lately.

Thomas

Are you behind the site?

AviD

@Thomas huh?

Thomas

16:15

@AviD: Are you behind the page: attrition.org/errata/charlatan/steve_gibson ?

AviD

behind?

oh dod you mean if I wrote it? hehe, nooo....

Thomas

@AviD: Yes, I mean: did you write it?

Ok

Xander

16:28

@RoryAlsop Thanks for the bounty!

Rоry McCune

16:40

AviD

huh. @Iszi @ScottPack - just had a brilliant idea for a several-episode arc for next season of #Scorpion. He meets up with Gibson, first seeing him as a rival/enemy, and then they come to realize they are they same, and become best BFF friends foreevsies.

Then you can have a spinoff starring Gibson hisself.

Kisunminttu

17:25

Eyyy waddup everyone

@RoryAlsop Man. You're a tough one. Any particular scary thing that makes you shiver?

Rory Alsop

18:15

@kisu - The Shining. The first time I watched Event Horizon (when Kylie Minogue want distracting me) and the first time I saw Alien. They were quite scary

@Xander - no worries

@kisu - I enjoy a good suspense horror, but for horrors don't do anything for me. At all.

Saw - bag of crap nonsense with a plot so transparent my 5 year old nephew could see through it. If I let him watch the bad special effects gore

Scott Pack

19:25

@AviD What are you on about?

@RoryAlsop I haven't seen Event Horizon in about 15 years. I remember it being pretty damn well done scary.

AJ Henderson

19:38

ok, I want to punch someone at Baracuda in the face right now for being retarded

so they have a "secure e-mail delivery" feature, which gives you a link to their site to and they have you enter a password the first time

if you click a link in the future for the e-mail attachments sent that way, it asks for the password... ok, that kind of makes sense

if you forget the password, they send you a link to reset your password

someone please tell me how that makes any sense

at all

Rоry McCune

20:18

hey @ScottPack what's with the dislike of the worlds greatest prgramming language :op

Scott Pack

21:19

@RоryMcCune I was up until 3am this morning fighting with Jekyll to get it to run.

Apparently there's a bug in 2.2.0 wherein YAML processing tries to use syck and there's an issue wherein the syck processor dies on startup.

I also found another typo in the liquid gem where they have a duplicate key-value definition which, again, causes the interpreter to hard stop.

I'm going home now.

Rоry McCune

21:37

@ScottPack ouch :(

Rоry McCune

@Gilles and in the UK, can GCHQ see my Doughnut

Gilles

Lucas Kauffman

Rory Alsop

Why not Lucas? Spend it in the new York office.

Simon

Lucas Kauffman

I'll need to mingle a bit more with the Americans for that. Also we are centered in Houston for infosec and not Ny :(

Rory Alsop

22:46

Still Houston? I meet the guys from there one year - as we sponsored Black Hat - but never visited

Lighty

hmmm Gibraltar is actually CET, odd

OK, OK, I'll shuddup and drink more
