@AviD let me know if you onboard or if you need a chat about the corporate culture, although I'm sure you know
Plenty of people there
000
000
Who's Plenty of people?
Your mom.
@000 you should ask yo momma
@LucasKauffman OH DAMMIT
@AviD dunno, lets ask cynical pony,... hey @kalina can you get cynical MLP?
though of course you went in a different direction....
13:08
#yawn

#boringDayInTheDMZ
#camelCaseHashtags
@000 change your display name
because 000 is a stupid name
000
000
@AviD won't do it!
do it yourself
@AviD when are you making a decision ?
000
000
13:09
I bet he even has the ability to restore my old gravatar!
Imagine all the time that would save me!
@LucasKauffman did you two get married when I wasn't looking?
000
000
Literally one or two minutes.
@000 almost as much as you've spent complaining that he won't do it!
000
000
@@@
@000 fine I'll put your stupid face on ignore until you do because the level of stupidness your name brings to the room causes a stupidnessoverflow
000
000
13:10
o pls
nuh uh, don't go pls'ing me
@kalina TWSDS?
@000 Change it to 010. Or 101. 001, 100.
000
000
Leave my bits alone.
oh there's no worry of that ever being a problem
000
000
13:13
.
@RоryMcCune D?
@M'vy didn't
oh
did you just ask @RоryMcCune for D?
or you could use "saidn't"
but I guess it would defeat the purpose :) AHAH
ah probably no one would get it
I should also stop trying to be creative
13:17
:o
nobody should ever stop trying to be creative
000
000
nobody
@M'vy yeah if I'd done saidn't as an abbreviation that could've caused some confusion...
@kalina yeah, I was obviously meaning "neo-word" creativity.
@000 why dont you?
and yet you went on to say neo word instead of new word
13:20
Again. damn me.
@LucasKauffman I think I already have, just need to be in touch with them
000
000
@AviD We've been through this but I'll repeat it: IT WOULD TAKE 2 MINUTES OF MY TIME!!!!
That's more than I can actually last!
@000 flagged as lazy
@000 you're still being optimistic
@000 and @AviD should do it as an act of contrition for being nasty to you :D
000
000
lololol imagine da sparkly pony.jpg being all excited because it's a pony and then the pony is sparkly after 2 minutes

disappointment.jpg
13:23
@LucasKauffman right, just turned them down...
was for Shay's old job, group CTO
000
000
I hate horses and ponies but still I keep talking about them in here.
@000 yeah you're funny like that
I'm not entirely sure why you got mod-edited there, it wasn't actually profane , off-topic sure but then so's most of what's in here
was a little bit too explicit....
also, its simon, so its a lower bar.
@AviD it could've be an individuals first time for riding a roller coaster
13:26
I automatically modedit him every chance. It's like a twitch.
over in two minutes and they're disappointed
@RоryMcCune could have been, yeh... except it was Simon. :P
@AviD TBF he's hardly the only person dropping innuendo's in here today
I need to bookmark that word with you guys
@RоryMcCune I'm not really watching the whole discussion, just when I get pinged or something catches my eye....
000
000
13:28
It's ok, it's as if I enjoy the abuse now; some sort of Stockholm syndrome.
7
@AviD pls you.. miss an innuendo...
ooh, my local tour guide buddy is putting together a Scotland Whisky tour. Considering...
@000 lol
dammit, now I dont WANT to abuse you anymore.
000
000
@RоryMcCune The sound is panned to the left.
I should never read Youtube comments
apparently 1 Direction have a song of the same name that has more views than this...
@000 so not being a musicy type, I don't know that term, what does "panned to the left " mean in n00b speak?
000
000
13:33
The intro sounded like it was more on the left in the stereo width.
so I'd hear it more in my left ear than right?
000
000
Yep.
Ahh I C
@RоryMcCune I hear everything more in my left ear than my right.
because the artillery driver sits on the left side, so the cannon was on my right
000
000
Yeah me too my right ear is messed up and I'm fairly sure that I know exactly in which show it happened.
Clever Simon loved to be standing right next to the speaker.
At least now I always bring ear protection to shows.
13:39
@AviD Shay's job is nice tho
@AviD why you turn them down?
Is it because you don't want to be colleagues :o?
When you install Windows 10, you have to tell Cortana to shut up explicitly (so that the "search box" switches from "I'm Cortana, ask me anything" to "Search the Web and Windows").
When you install "threshold 2", you just have to do it again.
000
000
Why do you even bother with Win10?
For a client I hope?
@000 Indeed.
000
000
Bleh.
A client wants me to support Windows 10, but is incapable of actually providing a test machine with Windows 10.
13:48
hiya
(It is bogged down in its own administration.)
@RоryMcCune see, now I have Muse playing out my right set of speakers while I work browse the internet
000
000
@ThomasPornin You're on Virtual Box, right? If you've got some time to spare, you might wanna try VMware.
I did an upgrade from Win7 to Win10 on VMware Fusion, it went flawlessly.
@RoryAlsop yeah I now have my muse spotify playlist running, it's all @000 's fault for bringing them up
@RоryMcCune yup - I blame the 00000000
13:50
@000 I finally solved my memory corruption issues with VirtualBox. The solution was stopping to use VirtualBox.
Now I boot the machine in Qemu, and it works reasonably well.
000
000
@ThomasPornin Haha.
lawl
I will try to use SPICE, for which Qemu is said to have good support. This is a remoting protocol.
I used VMware (the free player) in older days; it worked fine but was lacking in documentation for configuration.
@LucasKauffman yes, yes that is exactly the reason. O_o
its because of this:
3 hours ago, by Terry Chia
@AviD the no pants hipster with a Big 4?
000
000
@ThomasPornin Huh? What kind of configuration?
Unless you wanna do something extremely wild, you shouldn't need any.
But I assume that you are indeed being a wild bear.
13:53
@ThomasPornin unless you want to use her. She is very useful.
though I admit I havent used cortana all that much on desktop/tablet, as much as I do on the phone.
@AviD pls you just needed a "No pants" clause in your employment contract
@RоryMcCune A no pants candy party for kids!
because we 've been focusing on too much CH lately, at the expense of SMBC.
@AviD inb4 @000 or @Ohnana calls you old for linking SMBC
000
000
wtf is smbc
@000 that ^
13:56
saturday morning breakfast comics?
@AviD heh it's so old they don't know enough to mock you for it
hey @RoryAlsop good news, looks like we have a couple of portals here now :)
@RоryMcCune oh excellent, so I can hop over for a visit.
heh
oh shit in fact there's quite a few
3 at the base of ben donich
2 at the rest
one at the summit
one in the village :)
wait, is one of them from the aliens??
@AviD well that's classified, what level are you agent?
14:04
pffft
its military.
Aliens aren't real
Unless you mean illegal aliens
@RоryMcCune Excellent - a good hike when we come and visit then? And you are in a position to be useful for big ops in future, I guess :-)
ingress.com/intel - look at the hebrides to venezuela links! Wow
000
000
pls roro you can barely stand up
Rest young man, rest.
@RoryAlsop yeah turns out there's quite a few round here now, and there's a couple of darn smurfs! BTW do you know if the APK s available from either the amazon store or for direct download?
@RoryAlsop the missus doesn't do the Google play thing
@RоryMcCune yes - I'll grab you a link
@RoryAlsop ta :)
000
000
o noes not her
@RоryMcCune ah a fellow ingress player?
@000 At these times, you had to feed VMware player (the only free component) with a configuration file (it was called .wmx, I think) which indicated things like RAM size, number of CPU and location of virtual hard drives. There was no free tool and no documentation for that file.
@M'vy I used to play when I lived in Livi, but haven't in a while, now it turns out there are some portals near here
14:15
:)
@M'vy so will play again, I can perhaps help @RoryAlsop in the wider cause :)
@RоryMcCune so you're ENL like @RoryAlsop I deduce
@M'vy is my face blue... do I have a silly hat on?
000
000
@ThomasPornin Oh wow, that sure must have been a nightmare then. You can do set those settings with a GUI now, I'm sure that you know anyway.
Ahoy
14:17
@RоryMcCune what is that suppose to mean ?
@M'vy heh, there is a joking term for players of the blue faction in Ingress in the UK, they get called "smurfs" who have blue skin and hats :)
@ThomasPornin I remember that, way back in the late 90s, early 00s.
Oh yeah ok.
Obv
@M'vy there's a similar one for enlightened players
000
000
14:19
@RоryMcCune Why are you bringing back childhood memories like this without any warning?
@Amelia sup noob
@M'vy apparently the enlightened one is "frogs"
@RоryMcCune So what are French ENLs?? Frog frogs?
Hey @Amelia
@M'vy heh yeah or frogs^2 or something
@Amelia Amelia! Havent seen you around these parts in a while now.
000
000
perv
14:24
@000 dammit
000
000
@kalina Look how perverted ovid is.
@000 not nice
@AviD AVvviiiiiiiiddddddd
@Amelia wow, you REALLY havent been here in a long time...
I know
14:26
havent done the Carrrrl bit in aaaages
000
000
Oh please don't do that in front of Lucas.
I've been gone so long my profile picture is almost relevant again
@000 good idea not to ping @LucasKauffman in case he sees that
000
000
plsssssssss
@RоryMcCune shall I superping him so he gets the inbox notification instantly?
14:27
@Amelia he was in here earlier, so I guess he'll get it but couldn't hurt to get our resident sociopathic llama back in here :)
Anyways, it's almost my last day at work until I can laze about for a week
oh boy!
that's a really long break
I'm looking forward to dec/jan. between holiday, tech confs, exam prep and exam I'm off for most of a month :)
000
000
A MONTH?
with the slight downside that some of that will be writing a conf. talk and prepping for an exam
14:31
oh lawd
I got a new one, without 1296 data breaches a day
that's a college break
@RоryMcCune What kind of exam?
I have january off as well
and most of february
@000 yeah I'm off w/c21st dec , w/c 28th dec, then there's a conf. w/c 4th jan so only in 2 days there, then hols/exam prep w/c18th jan
@MarkHulkalo CREST CCT (UK security testers qual.)
@kalina isn't that mainly recovering from the holiday season?
14:33
Nice. Not a lot of people try to keep learning while they're, ahem, older.
000
000
@kalina No, I won't invite you over for my birthday, you don't need to take February off.
@MarkHulkalo heh, well I'd like to say it's a joy of learning, but it'd be more accurate to say that you have to re-take the exam every three years to prove you're not past it.
disclaimer: recovery may involve mending broken limbs, your liver, or strenuous exercise at a gym
I'm not employed as a security professional technically, although I do write a lot of security-based apps
so I've never really been forced to take those exams
@000 pls, you'll be out at le club on your birthday, there'll be a diminuitive female DJ spinning some EDM nonsense, and... you'll think "could it be....."
14:35
@RоryMcCune well there's no point working during the part of the year with the least demand
@Amelia a new job? like, a "job" job?
@000 pls my birthday is in february, I didn't even care when yours was
@kalina yeah that's why our tech conf. is first week in Jan, no jobs on then anyway
I thought you were freelance?
@RоryMcCune oh bloody hell, thats annoying.
@AviD I'm employed. Freelancing is effort when doing web development because there's so much competition
14:36
worse/better than CISSP.
@Amelia Regarding competition, what do you feel is the least competitive area?
@AviD well it's kind of justified, the testing industry moves along and if you're not a practitioner any more you get out of date quite quickly. at £1600+VAT a throw it's nice to be working for a corp who sponsors this time round tho'
@Amelia yeah I'm sure, hard to differentiate on quality so its a race to lower prices.
@RоryMcCune WOW. pricey af.
That's pretty expensive...
@AviD full day on-site exam..
14:38
sounds like they're trying to do like CISSP but better.
@MarkHulkalo especially as, AFAIK , the pass rate ain't that high
@AviD well CISSP CPE is a joke
pure money making for ISC2
@RоryMcCune yeah exactly. but the intention is good.
you get CPEs for attending vendor webinars!!!!
@MarkHulkalo To be honest, not much, but working on infrastructure/consulting/architecture for software is pretty nice
Hmm, noticed something creepy recently
My phone has been taking photos of the computer screen randomly, when I cross the camera in front of it...
And the pictures never end up in my gallery, but they end up on the google cloud.
Also gets pretty hot
14:40
@MarkHulkalo was it Simon?
@MarkHulkalo that... does not sound right.... have you considered wiping the OS and re-installing from scratch
@RоryMcCune Nah, I think I know what it is ^_^
@AviD Probably.
@MarkHulkalo you have an app. that does that deliberately?
But yeah, the phone was factory reset. Kept happening.
No. Pretty barebones
@MarkHulkalo in newcastle, we have an overabundance of digital agencies (ecommerce/event sites), so basically anything but that gets clients fairly easily
14:41
@MarkHulkalo so what do you think it is?
ah, I'm in the states
@RоryMcCune Them.
If you do remote web dev, prepare to have the whole of india undercutting you
Pretty much all the screenshots were pretty specific
@Amelia I was in Newcastle a few times. Nice cold place.
For example, I was reading a thread on reddit about what to do with $500k, and how to launder it
And the phone took a LOT of pictures of that
14:42
@AviD You've clearly not been to scotland in winter
It's tropical in newcastle!
@Amelia hey hey it's lovely up here in the winter, not cold and wet at all
Nope, newcastle was the closest I got.
The phone took a lot of other pictures too, but they were all out of context.
@RоryMcCune of course its not wet, all the wet is frozen solid.
To a casual observer, it might look like I am personally looking for information on that stuff, rather than casually clicking random links and reading up on it.
And running a recovery program brought up the stuff that didn't get uploaded to google drive automatically
000
000
14:45
@RоryMcCune p-l-s
So one of the things I did was place a couple of, erm, creative documents on the computer to send me a ping if opened.
And I put them on the phone
Got a few pings back
i am so confused
@000 packet layer security?
Hi Everyone,
What does the subkeys in GNU Privacy assistant correspond to? Public and Private Keys?
the private key is the one you give to everybody and the public key is the one you keep for yourself
wait a minute... it's probably the other way around actually
14:57
LOOOL
given that one is called the public key and the other is called the private key
@kalina the public key is called that because you have to protect it from the public.
000
000
Bahaha.
haha
14:58
@AviD oh yes, that makes sense
the private key is called that because you share your private stuff with anyone on the internet
oh crap
000
000
ovid
there, thats what I meant
No, you're supposed to give them both keys.
Okay, but when I import other public keys, I also see these subkeys.
