g'morning DMZ...
07:52
hi
Well well well... Looks like I'm not alone, after all...
08:13
Morning All
@M'vy Apropos what were discussing the other day.. telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/11668695/…
@RоryMcCune about ? French not speaking Engli... Brit.... err whatever language you speak ? :P
@M'vy no the bit about whether french people were considered rude or whether it was just parisians :op
If you wanted to spend money on making parisians polite...
@RоryMcCune ok :P
I'll be checking if the French metalheads are as polite as ever next week ^^
08:26
@Stephane Where are you going?
Hellfest
Close to Nantes
I had friends going there last year
@Stephane the elder rory is checking out the UK based ones at the moment. He's at Download
Nice :) I hope he has fun
Maybe one day I'll manage to see him on stage
08:45
I have a couple friends who are going to Hellfest. Most people around here are going to Graspop though.
09:16
The sister of my GF lives 15 km from Clisson: there really is no reason for us not to go to hellfest
@Stephane My ex had a free Graspop ticket for years because her grandmother lives on the road where the festival was, but then the festival moved a couple streets to a bigger area.
That sucks :P
I've just realised we're likely Mod-Less in the DMZ today!
The tigger is on his day off and The Elder Rory is Headbanging all day..
someone should give @Simon erzatz Mod powers for the day :op
@RоryMcCune That sounds dangerous.
@Arperum indeed, but potentially amusing
new answer close reason "Donut!"
09:31
@RоryMcCune Quite risky though.
new flag "Not enough Donuts!"
09:49
@RоryMcCune Question closed as "User is a Donut".

donut*
we should thematise the stack with donut everywhere
off-donut, the donut belong to another donut.
room topic changed to The DMZ: Donut-land! [donuts] [food] [libations] [mod-abuse] [pls] [rory] [security]
oh yeah
11:28
that should last until tomorrow when the tigger sees it :op

ttfn
11:46
@RоryMcCune BOOOYAAAA
@RоryMcCune yeah, cant let that happen. The universe pinged me to handle this emergency.
@RоryMcCune oh come on, seriously?
I'm starting to think @Simon is just an AI construct, built to disguise your true malicious ambitions.
actually, scratch that. there is no way @Simon is artificial intelligence.
room topic changed to The DMZ: I love donuts [donuts] [food] [libations] [rory] [security]
but doughnuts not so much
@StackExchange lol, Randall is moving to javascript.
raz
raz
So no matter what I do I can't seem to remove my real name from my profile.
running to see your real name!
I dont get it.
raz
raz
Well you can see my email, so it's not hard to guess
I can see it. And when I go to remove it, it's not there.
12:39
@raz What is the problem with your real name ? Is it a mark of shame ?
13:03
@ThomasPornin yeah I'd heard his real name is ......................... Simon!
13:24
@RоryMcCune hey now that's a serious accusation
@Ohnana but it would explain why he's looking to change it!
13:44
@RоryMcCune aw yuh, every damn user would walk straight.
And I'd force name changes too: Ohnuhnuh, Roro (x2), OviD, roz, Dovid Freitag, Thomas Super French Pornin, etc.
@Simon >:|
@Ohnana Oh stop it, I know you like it.
guize i need an adult
Yeah, well, sorry.
14:00
@Ohnana why would you want one of those?
@RоryMcCune i dunno i heard they have money
@Ohnana Ping @Simon. burst out laughing
@Ohnana lol, I think that very much depends on the adult!
@Ohnana That's true, unless they're sucky adults.
@RоryMcCune fack
14:02
@TerryChia heh, nothing from you all day, and you turn up to make fun of @Simon.... heh
If you're ~40 and depend on your next paycheck to pay your bills, I find that quite... sad.
@Simon i was going to point out medical bills but i forgot that canada starts with C and C is for COMMIE MEDICINE
:D
@Simon that wouldn't be a good position to be in...
it is however, not as uncommon as you might think
But also, the C stands for COME ON LAD YOU'RE GONNA WAIT TO GET TREATED UNLESS YOU'RE GONNA DIE IN 5 MINUTES.
@RоryMcCune Yeah I know!
14:04
@Simon i've heard that.
I've been quite lucky so far (knock on wood), I didn't have to wait much in the emergency rooms.
Once they quickly gave me morphine when they realized that my appendix was being mad.jpg.
And did the surgery on the next morning (I came in in the evening).
And morphine makes you feel all like "aw yuh boiiiii"
@Simon and makes your poop turn into rocks
and on that note i'm going to do a linear algebra exam
That too.
Good luck!
Also, bt;dt.
@Simon btts?
NO RORO, NO.
14:16
@Simon you didn't btts? lame
wadafuk is dat
I mean what's the point of bt;dt if you're not going to btts afterwards!
I dont see why you would need to btdt just for btts
@AviD no but when you bt;dt you have to btts afterwards, or it's just lame
What a bunch of donuting redditors.
14:18
@RоryMcCune what do butts have to do with morphine?
@Simon this isn't a reddit thing AFAIK
ha, oh lord, what a donut:

Q: Why (and since when) is the name "Sol" used instead of "The Sun"?

trejderWhen was the Sun renamed to Sol in the Star Trek universe and why? We've been using "The Sun" name for centuries and I can't find any reasonable reason for renaming it to "Sol" or anything else.

I'm still giggling. painfully.
@AviD tut tut.. Been There; Done That, which is @simons bt;dt acronym... always followed by Bought The T-Shirt
14:19
and who let Star Trek call it "the Moon" anyway???
@RоryMcCune ohhhh. nevermind then.
@RоryMcCune Ah, haha.
I should buy it.
I flagged that q for migration. Either astronomy or space.se, IMO.
@AviD I'm not sure the tag will carry over gracefully :P
Crazy Gene Roddenberry, amirite?
@Stephane heh. well you never know.
14:32
hehe
wow that is a very cool list. will read later.
raz
raz
@RоryMcCune You take that back!
@raz shush, Simon.
Everyone wants to be me. I'd want to be me too.
@Simon too bad you aren't.
wot
raz
raz
14:39
I just said I didn't want to be you
@raz stop fawning, Simon.
@raz No, you specifically ssaid "You take that back!"
@Simon @raz that's true, you did say that
If you compare "You take that back!" and "I don't want to be you", this will result in a false statement.
@raz you just got lawyered by @Simon, Simon.
raz
raz
14:40
It was in response to @RоryMcCune calling me @Simon
In which case, yes it means I don't want to be you.
@Simon oh you. Stop showing how little you know how to program.
@AviD Hahaha.
I did some VB6 again this morning.
raz
raz
You can't compare strings that way @Simon
strncmp pls
I feel like a Greek roman.
string comparison wont result in "false", it will result in "1".
@Simon heh, read that as "I feel like a Greek woman".
14:42
@AviD Sometimes I do too.
actually makes just about as much sense either way.
@raz IN PHP YOU CAN
IF ("DONUT" == "DOUGHTNUT")
2 mins ago, by AviD
@Simon oh you. Stop showing how little you know how to program.
Shit, that'd be false, which means @AviD would be right.
Shit, shit, shit.
@Simon lawl
DONUTS FTW
14:54
am tired lads
raz
raz
15:07
@Simon We're talking about real programming languages here
Yeah, sorry for mentioning VB6.
Dayum, I'm the super troll overlord today.
Look @AviD, here's another one of your kind:
Oblig: XKCD: Password Reuse Password Entropy is rarely relevant. The real modern danger is password resuse.WernerCD 1 hour ago
@Simon what is my kind? Intelligent, famliar with xkcd, and fed up with stupid crap?
No, the "I gotta plug xkcd at every given opportunity" kind.
@Simon hmm, not sure what they put in your donut today.
I hope they didn't put anything in her, honestly.
15:22
"they"??? you sick bastard.
I quoted what you just said and I'm the sick one?
@Simon I was talking about an actual donut, not euphemizing some anonymous female, who I can only assume is your mother girlfriend.
pls
raz
raz
Ahahahaha @AviD
bloody hell you're not wrong. WTH? Next time just edit the q and remove the stupid tags. — AviD ♦ 10 hours ago
Just saw this, fantastic
@raz hmm. I reeeeheeelly shouldnt be modding before breakfast.
raz
raz
15:26
@AviD Haha, lets be honest though... completely valid reaction. And the reaction I was hoping for.
at least I didnt curse out the askers.
should have, though.
People just really don't understand what tags are for, or how to use them.
raz
raz
yeah, but who created the tag?
I mean regular users can't just create a new one right?
@raz You just need a small amount of rep.
raz
raz
@TerryChia I could have sworn I tried to create a tag once and it wouldn't let me...
Maybe we should up that rep, 300 seems a bit low
@raz Maybe you tried to create a tag synonym?
raz
raz
15:35
@TerryChia Oh that's possible
 
2 hours later…
17:47
@raz Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
18:03
@DavidFreitag well they do if they're carried by swallows
@RоryMcCune But, what is the average air-speed velocity of a swallow?
@DavidFreitag African or European?
@RоryMcCune Well, I don't know tha-waaaaaaagh
reminds me of one of the first pages I saw on the Internet..
^SFW
Stupid Wells Fargo.
I bought some furniture, and when they financed it, they set the credit limit exactly the same size as the amount I needed in financing. Basically my credit score dropped 78 points because they are dicks.
 
1 hour later…
19:23
@RоryMcCune Anything involving something carried by a bird just makes me think about IPoAC.
hey @AviD ya know how we have frozen questions, how do we mod and answer on one (I want to remove a sourceforge <shudder> link)
@Iszi that was a great RFC, my fav. bit was about the risk of "unintentional encapsulation in hawks"
@AviD security.stackexchange.com/a/38/37 in question (the w3af link is to sourceforge..)
19:42
@RоryMcCune What's wrong with sourceforge?
they take over projects that have left and wrap their installers in adware
and engage in dodgy tactics like detecting VMs to avoid people noticing (apparently)
well, sure, I'll give you that, but they aren't the only site around doing things like that.
they did it to nmap and gimp
@DavidFreitag sure and I don't download stuff from sites that do that especially when they're doing it against the wishes of the project
There are plenty of software companies that do that to their own products (The Java installer for one)
@DavidFreitag sure and that's their right (it's their code after all) sourceforge doing it without allowing people to opt out is well dodgy
19:46
@RоryMcCune True enough. There are only a few programs I use that are on sourceforge anyway, teraterm and a few others I think.
yeah I used to use sourgeforge a lot, it's sad to see their decline
but I guess that's what happens when your business model doesn't pan out and you get sold off to a dodgy company
they got sold off?
@DavidFreitag yeah them and slashdot IIRC
company called "dice holdings" venturebeat.com/2012/09/18/…
indeed
and now thinkgeek got bought by gamestop!
I thought it was hot topic but apparently not theverge.com/2015/6/2/8709581/…
obviously not a lot of money in appealing to geeks...
20:00
@RоryMcCune That makes sense. They've always wanted to peddle the sort of silly trinkets that ThinkGeek sells
20:25
Ooooh baby, I want one. Or ten. enterpoint.co.uk/shop/en/106-merrick-6.html
20:38
@RоryMcCune -will unfreeze it. And thanks for the info re source forge. I hadn't heard all that

A: How to choose components for a circuit

AsmyldofNOTE: It is long. But when you're done, you'll know a lot more to design more, even cooler schematics than you imagined possible. I have included some Breaks where you could stop, go to bed or have a drink and decide later whether you feel you need to learn more. First, I'm going to go with an N...

Yes, yes, yes, I can't say it more, yes.
Oh - if you have the correct link, easiest to key me know and I'll sort it. Unfreezing on mobile is not ideal

A: What tools are available to assess the security of a web application?

Rоry McCunethere's a large number of apps that can be used in web application assessments. One thing to consider is what kind of tool you're looking for. Some of them are better used alongside a manual test, where others are more designed for non-security specialist IT staff as more "black box" scanning t...

but what's the point of keeping a 5-year-old thread frozen? It gets more and more inaccurate over time and we can't update it
Say, where are you Scots based at? I'll be in Scotland next week-end
I'm open to suggestion - @Gilles, @RоryMcCune etc... If you can come to a consensus on what we should do with it, we can mage it happen
going through both Edinburgh and Glasgow and possibly places in between
20:45
I'm Edinburgh, @RоryMcCune is north west of Glasgow
@RoryAlsop I'm almost always opposed to permanent locks. The one use they can have is for fun questions. For stuff that was kinda useful, either curate it or drop it.
List questions are bad because they're almost always incomplete and have plenty of obsolete stuff. Locking them makes it worse.
In this case, it's uselessly broad. Delete.
@RоryMcCune - you agree?
@Gilles - if you are around on 18th in Edinburgh, my acoustic/folk band has a gig at the Malmaison
If not I'll definitely try to meet up for a pint
@RoryAlsop I don't care for your style of music, sorry
I might be around town in the evening, or I might have other engagements, not sure yet
@RoryAlsop Yeah, @Gilles is a dubstep man.
@DavidFreitag actually I only go to the kind of concert where the audience keeps quiet
20:57
@Gilles Heh, I know. It was only a (slightly funny) joke. :]
Oh, this is not my rock/metal band, this one is the three of us on acoustic guitars and acoustic bass.
oh, that's different
is that Malmaison hotel? What time?
21:52
hey guys quick and stupid question: do i need to carry my US health insurance card with me in europe?
does your health insurance carrier cover out of country incidents?
uhhhhh
lol idunno
@Ohnana need to, I'm pretty sure no: if you're a Usanian you don't need proof of health coverage to get a visa in (most of) Europe
i thought it was the magical land of "walk into hospital get treated"
should, I don't know: what does it entitle you to in terms of coverage abroad?
21:54
faceplam
@Gilles as a traveler
@Ohnana that's in the UK (except that you're missing step 2: grow a beard while you wait)
@schroeder hah. I have traveler's insurance that covers me up to a hefty sum so i guess i'll take the card too and try not to get rekt
in other places that only apply to major emergencies
@Gilles Don't have any illusions - that follows for US hospitals as well. These ones just raid your wallet on the way out.
21:57
anyway you should ask on travel.stackexchange.com, make sure you state your citizenship and what countries you're visiting
yes, yes i should
fuck it, it's easy to replace and if I'm seriously injured I'm phoning the consulate so IDGAF. thanks guys
@Ohnana But what if you cannot use a telephone?
@DavidFreitag then my travelling partner will be able to use one hopefully
@Ohnana And if they cannot as well?
@DavidFreitag then the hospital phones our emergency contacts listed on our passports
and the consulate
22:02
@Ohnana That's a fair point. Don't forget, you're missing out on those juicy free internet points though ;]
and if we're dead then we're good and fucked
(and we won't care)
@DavidFreitag internet points? is this reddit?
@Ohnana No this is the stack exchange, home of the internet points.
