@Edity ok, I need to wait for another question I can answer today anyway.

Nathan Osman

Here's the same one from the OP3:

Byte Commander

Needing 15 more points for an epic day again.

Nathan Osman

Edity

can i make that my background?!?

Nathan Osman

Sure.

Lemme know if you want a higher resolution though.

That one is only 1024x768.

Seth

11:01 PM

Nexus 6 looks better, I think.

Edity

ok

Seth

OP3 is too warm.

Edity

tank god for windows 10

Nathan Osman

@Seth I was leaning towards that conclusion as well.

Edity

@IanC o/

Nathan Osman

11:02 PM

But I may have changed the white balance when I took that one.

I can't exactly remember.

hey @Edity!

Oh, yup - I did.

worked like a breeze

@Seth here's an equivalently exposed image:

I think I switched the white balance to "cloudy" for the one above.

That's why it had the warmer look to it.

Byte Commander

@Edity "tank god"? o.O

Nathan Osman

11:04 PM

O_o

Edity

lol

Seth

@NathanOsman much better.

Edity

O.o windows has sample text

Nathan Osman

I tried a 30-second exposure at ISO 3200 after pointing it at the sky. Stupid clouds got in the way.

I think there's a lot of light pollution in that shot as well.

maybe a little

11:07 PM

hmm

@NathanOsman higher resolution needed for my lock screen

Zacharee1

lotta noise

IanC

Took this one at my work

Zacharee1

no noise in that one :p

but B&W is different

Nathan Osman

11:08 PM

@Edity What size works best? 1080p?

Zacharee1

5000000000p

SQuirel

Guess what I found!

Nathan Osman

I can even supply 4k if needed :)

Zacharee1

@SQuirel not a D

SQuirel

ssh sshtron.zachlatta.com

IanC

11:09 PM

the cellphone camera is very limited, there are some beautiful sunsets I witnessed that didn't look goo in the picture :/

SQuirel

Tron in the terminal!

Edity

@NathanOsman 1366 x 768

SQuirel

use WASD to move

Nathan Osman

@Edity ----^

Zacharee1

Can I have it in its full 13MP glory?

Nathan Osman

11:12 PM

I guess so. Can I email it?

It's going to be about 5-6 MB at that resolution.

Or... do you want the DNG?

I can send that to you via DropBox or something.

Zacharee1

oooh, you have raw?

That'll let me edit it :p

Nathan Osman

Yeah.

I have no idea how to process RAW.

Zacharee1

Lightroom

Nathan Osman

So if you know how, that would be really cool.

Zacharee1

yeah

Nathan Osman

11:14 PM

Does DropBox work?

Zacharee1

sure

Byte Commander

OPs who just comment "thanks, that worked" instead of accepting the answer are sooo annoying, especially as I only need 5 more points to 200 today :-/

Nathan Osman

Uploading....

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander I'm gonna DV you

Edity

@ByteCommander 200? more like 2000

Byte Commander

11:17 PM

@Zacharee1 thanks, that's exactly what I need now... :p

@Edity points earned today, not all-time. It's 17747 on Ask Ubuntu btw, not 2000.

Used to be >20000 though.

Edity

O.O

Somewhere... over the rep cap..

Zacharee1

Why does Tor keep giving me Captchas?

Byte Commander

no, not over it yet today...

@Zacharee1 It's not Tor, it's CloudFlare.

Zacharee1

oh

it is

why is it doing this?

IanC

I think they know the ip is being used suspiciously, and makes a human check

Byte Commander

11:21 PM

Well, you share your tor exit node IP with loads of other users.

IanC

to avoid DDoS attacks

or something

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 shared.

Byte Commander

Guess how many of them are bots or how suspicious the must look to a site in sum.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman I got a notification on my desktop o_o

IanC

where do I click to go to the https version of chat?

Nathan Osman

11:22 PM

@IanC https://chat.stackexchange.com/

edit the URL.

What the...

lol

The one time I wished one-boxing didn't work :D

Byte Commander

@NathanOsman White image with transparent background on a white chat background...

Zacharee1

11:24 PM

omg CloudFlare

IanC

done, just thought it could be some other link

Nathan Osman

@ByteCommander My own messages are a light orange so at least I could sort-of see it.

Byte Commander

Isn't that more purple than orange?

Or either I am colorblind or you use a custom theme...

Zacharee1

Why does Tor keep going through Switzerland first?

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 It does not.

Zacharee1

11:33 PM

It says my 'circuit' is going through Switzerland and then two other countries that change if I tell it to use a new circuit

Byte Commander

Just click the "New tor circuit for this site" often enough. It's a coincidence, nothing more.

Besides that, most Tor nodes seem to be in Central/Western European countries, so maybe the probability to get a Swiss node is pretty high in general?

Zacharee1

The IP for the node isn't even changing

Nathan Osman

Fun with 120fps ---^

Byte Commander

I got F-F-NL, F-DE-UK, F-F-NL, F-F-US, F-NL-US, F-DE-F, F-F-Moldova, F-F-US,...

Actually that seems suspicious. Never noticed that yet.

Zacharee1

yeah

first node doesn't change

Byte Commander

11:38 PM

Just that for me it's France and not Switzerland.

let's go to Tor

Edity

@NathanOsman O_o laggy

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander ask

Edity

@ByteCommander here is another egg

Byte Commander

Huh? Some troll just downvoted my fancy baby calming noise answer...

Edity

on arquade chat type "insert coin"

Zacharee1

11:42 PM

@ByteCommander remember what I said ezrloir?

and that ^ is what happens when your taskbar is stuck above the chat box

Edity

@ByteCommander woops, sorry. my keyboard jacked up as well as my mousepad.

Q: Why is the first ip address Tor goes to the same one in Germany?

Every time I start Tor or switch to a new identity, the first web address in the list of Tor circuit connections is (Germany) 93.180.156.84. Is Tor supposed to work this way? I was under the impression that an entirely new path was created every time you switch identities.

Q: First node always the same! Is that how it's supposed to work?

I'm using Tor-browser-bundle with Vidalia. Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I clicked on "view the network." In the "connection" box, I see my circuits. About 5, 6 circuits each with 3 different nodes. Then I realised something : only the 2 last nodes are different, the first is always the same ...

Q: What Easter Eggs do the chat sites have?

According to balpha, the SE chat sites may have individual Easter eggs, depending on the site. If you find them, please post. Edit: Because it's so easy to make this stuff up, a screenshot as proof would be nice. (Although Photoshop ain't that hard either...)
